Quite a while back, I watched several episodes of Bleach but at the time it didn't catch my interest (probably because it seemed unslashable since it had Rukia and Ichigo at the beginning) so I stopped watching. But not too long ago I decided that I would try watching again because of all the talk about slashable pairings. I didn't want to wait to download all the episodes by torrent or host links so I watched them over a few days, online at veoh.com and became hooked to the series. Then I started reading the manga at the point where the episodes had ended (I didn't watch the Bounto arc fillers) and fell in love with Ulquiorra.
I got into Bleach because my sister used to subscribe to Shounen Jump and I was skimming her copy when the preview for Bleach (they hadn't been running it in the American copy yet) caught my eye. I thought that Rukia was a boy (don't judge me! XD) and was like YES! Finally something slashy!.... XD
A little over a year ago Cartoon Network had a 16 episode marathon. I was completely hooked from the very beginning. Ichigo was hot and a reluctant white knight (my favorite kind of hero). Rukia was cute and even after losing her powers had no qualms about kicking Ichigo's ass when he needed it. Then they had Chad the stoic silent type, Tatsuki who was another ass kicker, Orihime who was so adorably cute and Ishida the geeky little hottie. All of it together convinced me I had to learn to do this thing called bittorrents so i could watch it all. I watched like 100 episodes in less than a week. No I did not sleep much. A few months later I decided I need to read the manga too and last summer I got addicted to the fanfic. It has been a rapid descent into the abyss.
Dunno, I think Hadas_g used to have a Grimm/Ichigo sig and I got curious.
Hmm,I'm simple!The "Bleach" addiction of mine starts when I randomly bought a set of an anime called "Bleach" at a store.Then,the awesome faces of captains when they gather together hooked me real hard on Bleach.Plus,more real hard after the Espada meeting.This kind of scene makes antagonists strong & scary! Protagonists: Antagonists: Unohana Retsu,so kind & gentle yet labelled as one of the stronger captains The first time I saw her at the meeting,I was like "Wow!How come a gentle one become a captain!!?And this curiousity has been left unanswered until today that tie me onto Bleach! This gathering/meeting element really affects me,you know! Kinda stupid P/S:Anyone can give me links to Grimm X Ichi's doujins?I'm bad at sniffing things.I'm dying after watching Grimmy's invasion on the real world again.
@shattered: OMG my story is exactly the same! I started with Naruto, downloaded it from dattebayo and started to wonder what's that Bleach thing :P
So,what recommendation does you all have for me?I'm searching for a Grimmy X Ichigo doujins.Care to help me? ^^
i got into Bleach because i was annoyed with not knowing all these cool characters everyone was talking about. i'm a really selective anime fan, but i thought i should give it a go and at least find out what's the big deal with it. i downloaded about 100 episodes in less than an hour and was hooked. i never watched Naruto, i truly doubt it i have the energy for the same miracle happening twice.
haha! i got into bleach cuz I love naruto... my bro subscribed chinese comic mag but i nvr go read them until my friend showed me the chapter "memories in the rain" of bleach.. fell in love with it immediately although i didn't know that there was SO MANY cute characters in Soul Society! I actually persuaded my mum to download the anime in her office since we don't have any internet connection at home at that time...nice! love asterisk by orange range, dtechnolife by UVERworld, ichirin no hana by High and Mighty Colors!
Some random person on youtube advised me to go watch Bleach after I asked for anime recs in the comments section (I was watching some Final Fantasy AMV) Thank you random good soul, whoever you were, because Bleach has become my true addiction I only started watching anime (any anime, not just yaoi) last year, so when I first watched it I was really impressed ! It's so funny and sweet, it has so many hot bishies and Ichigo is a great main character
