What's your Favorite Arc

[Geta Boshi]

What's your Favorite Arc and more importantly why ?

* Karakura Arc

* SS Arc

* Arrancar Arc

* HM Arc

- Mine would be Karakura Arc less chracters more emphasis on chracter development .

[StarryInoueSky]

My favorite ARC so far is the SS ARC because we already got to see what happened and yeah... I'm also starting to like the Hueco Mundo Arc 'cause we get to see some things on Orihime as well as the other characters. Plus, I LOVE what Rukia says to (not really to her) Orihime before she 'goes down'. It's just filled with STRONG friendship bonds from all members of the party. Like, they're all proving how strong friendship means to them and stuff.

I agree whole heartedly, which is why HM is my favorite arc so far ^.^

[aqua-relle]

The SS arc because, apart from introducing my favorite character, it also had so much going on in it... and was surprising too. Depending on how the current arc goes might change which I like more though.

[badgercoon]

Personally, I like the arc that hasn't been written yet. There's questions still to be answered and such so the sense of adventure there is what gets me.

[Nocturne]

What can I say I love them all! Though I can't wait to see where Kubo takes us with the HM arc!

[Syn]

The Karakura and SS arc are my favourites by far. Because well, it was funny and presented the main characters (for the first), then got really intense with the second (ah, Aizen's murder and all, I can still recall the discussions ongoing about who killed him etc... nothing much like this with the HM arc).

The post SS arc just paled. The HM arc started very slowly, became interesting with ch262; now, I must admit that I'm expecting more. Even if it's good, it still lacks something that would give the HM arc a SS arc feeling, if you see what I mean.

[spacecat]

SS arc, it introduced me to most of my top favourite characters.

IMO the strong point of Karakura and SS arc was characters and their subsequent development . Post SS KT has forgone character development and introduced too many characters . Too many cooks spoil the Broth .

Also in the SS arc Ichi going to save Rukia Training for Rukia was romantic and even the 2nd Ed complimented what viewers were feeling . It was a thank you from Rukia for letting her enjoy her life again be herself spread of her wings of freedom . It was sort of thank you from Ichi for giving him powers to save family / friends most importantly changing his world

The raw emotions which were the driving force behind Bleach in HM/Arrancar Arc are missing . Its now like Ichi is programmed .

[Riekie]

I don't know..this really is a tough one...

I say I go with the Arrancar Arc. Introduction of one of my favorite characters and the fights were just fantastic.

But then again..I like all of the Arcs..some more and some less..but hey..that's always the case with me.

[Gintoki]

The only arc which was outstanding was the Soul Society Arc. Arrancar and Karakura Arcs were good, but nothing special. And the HM arc has to be ended properly.

[Kojy]

SS arc was great, then if i could choose another one i would say this current one. :D

[mori]

currently the SS arc, probably one of the best in shounen manga.

karakura was good but its hard to make a blinding introduction to a story because its precisely that, an introduction.

the arrancar arc was good also because it started with a really big bang but in the end it kind of felt like down time with it being the same old people heading off on the next arc.

the hueco mundo arc has suffered from bad pacing and a lack of plot development. I mean...whats really happened from a significant storyline perspective aside from rukia resolving some lingering kaien issues and chad finding himself.

not to mention that we've barely seen aizen D:

[batz]

The SS arc. It ended with a bang!!

[Asterisk Rolled]

wow is this even a question. SS arc definitely!

[Shannon]

Hueco Mundo is starting to be my favorite, because the Espada's are awesome. Like, Grimmjaw. Or Ulquiorra! And I'm starting to re-like Orihime, because I stopped before.

[emoloz]

The SS arch. The whole stroy of that was just greatly drawn and written (well yeah it would have been written for planning and the speach bubbles etc). The whole sort of moral panic factor and how it all unfolled was excellent. It also introduced me to my favourite characther and showed two sides of him and how they both work.

[Velius]

No contest. The Soul Society arc. For all the reasons people have said already and more.

[Nell]

^I agree with that, even though Espadas are interesting and all, they lack the history, hence the character development. Not that it's their fault, we wouldn't see anything about their old days like when they first ate a human's soul oooOOO Also HM arc also is short in the passion department, how can one forget IchiRen, RenBya, ByaIchi and IchiKen fights? Not only we got to learn what their powers are, but also about their personalities and desires. I know HM arc still goes on but Espada fights are all about power (spare RukiaKaien fight), so I don't think it will ever reach the SS arc.

[EternalDream]

I adore all of the arcs for different reasons, but I think I like this one the most so far, just because we've been finally getting more light on Orihime^_^

[Zikky]

Soul Society and Hueco Mundo. Gah I love the evil characters, finding out what happened in SS blew my mind, and HM has had some great fights in it.
I've converted a few people to be manga fans, and every single time a new person finds out that Aizen's still alive, and then tries to kill Hinamori... their reactions are so fun to watch :D.

The only one which'd be my kinda least favorite is the Karakura arc, but only because my favorite characters are evil >__>;

[Llama]

The SS Arc is my favorite but HM might replace it.

[furato]

The SS arc was what sparked my interest in Bleach, and still my favourite arc until today.

[Unicorn]

The SS arc... it introduced me to lots of characters, most of which have been my favourites to-date.

[pwned?!]

. I know HM arc still goes on but Espada fights are all about power (spare RukiaKaien fight), so I don't think it will ever reach the SS arc.[/QUOTE]

you're right. ss arc wins, hands down if compared to hm arc...but if kubo decides to add more emotion than raw power to this arc then maybe...just maybe...;)

[Shannon]

SS arc still owns all other arcs, but HM is pretty interesting to read, especially with all these new, might I say awesome, characters.

[pwned?!]

oh yeah, i forgot ulquiorra. awesome guy.

but its still ss arc for me.:)

[ezxx]

I prefer arrancar > SS just by a little bit >_<

SS arc was better but I still like arrancar arc more by a tiny amount

[speedphantom]

The SS arc hands down completely wipes the floor with all the other arcs. It introduced us to heaps of characters as Uni said. The Soul Society characters are my favourite of all the Bleach characters so its great seeing them.

The SS arc was what half of the Bleach plot so far has been based around anyway. The fights were the best, the storyline was the best, the characters were the best during this arc.

[hyiceme]

I have to say SS arc. I like Ichigo's passion and determination in that arc. It also introduced alot of important information with which Bleach is based on, not to mention all the awesome characters.
HM arc feels like dragging a bit right now... it's not as intense as SS arc, imo.
so yeah, SS arc is the best!!! ^_^

[NightMare]

SS arc Arrancar arc and HM arc

[krompt]

The arrancar arc due to all the action and plot progress, unlike Hueco Mundo XP

[Jhaxe]

So far, I'd say it's the HM Arc. While it's a parallel of the SS Arc, it shows us how far the main characters have progressed an' their potential for the future. It also introduces us t' more of the antagonists and gives us a chance t' see what life as an arrancar is truly like instead of the vagueness we had about it when they were first introduced. This makes the storyline much more appealing and in depth t' me.

[Beee]

Iunno really... but The HM arc is very interesting and they introduced us to the greatests characters ever to be drawn in Manga/anime/EVER : The Great Desert Bros. :p (man I really need to join/create that FC xD)

but seriously, I liked HM alot because we get to see things in a totally different perspective. Aizen being the godlike hero (not dictator, not grand master of evil, hero I said) who will save them from fear and pain... kinda Like the messiah and his 12 apostles...??? (the 10 espada + Gin + Tousen... OMG I might've 'found' something O_____O; )

We've seen that Hollows aren't the evil creatures that we were familiar with before, and that HM, instead of being the dark, savage land place we imagined, is actually very calm and ordered. That alone is something I found very intriguing.

[Rain]

The Karakura and Hueco mundo arcs are my favorites. Each focuses most on the main cast and not just the supporting cast for the arc.

[aznxenocide]

The Karakura arc was interesting in that we saw them develop and discover their powers...and as such, it was novel and all that. Still, I think the Soul Society arc, when they've discovered how much their powers can grow...I thought that was awesome. Great plot development, awesome characters too. And besides, you're never going to see a plot twist like Aizen. :p

[Sola]

No doubt SS arc.

[Surreal]

SS arc forever.

[Byakuya]

Definitely the Soul Society arc, that's where I got to know my favourite characters better. ^_^

[lainchan]

Soul Society for sure. I loved so many things about that ark. We were introduced to some great characters, with interesting and emotional back stories. They all seemed connected to each other, like Kubo had really planned out the relationships between his characters.

I also really loved the emotions we got from the different characters in regard to rescuing Rukia in particular Ichigo,Renji and later on Byakuya.
Rukias actuall rescue and the whole Aizen revelation were really well executed and I think having the underliying conspiracy plot made sure that the story didn't get too boring and linear.
Also Hanatarou OMG Luff luff!!!:love

I liked the Karakura ark aswell for its humor and the relationship that Ichigo and Rukia built up in such a short time.

I havn't enjoyed the arks after SS as much. I think one of my main reasons is the masses of new charcters, which we really havn't been told much about, who seem to have replaced all the old favs from SS.
Grimm, Ulqui and Nell do redeem it tho :D

[Griffith]

Arrancar arc, Shinji ownage is win! ^^

[Pollux]

Arrancar Arc because it introduces great new characters (Shinji, Grimmjow, Ulquiorra) and contains great battles (Ikkaku / Edorad, vizards / Hollow Ichigo).
Shinji ownage is win!
One of my favorite fights, despite it's really short.

[SPLENDiD 0NE]

hueco mundo arc for the ulquihime love :wtf and of course the action :love :love
