Bleach episode 247 review

So, it was all a ruse. Muramasa did all this to trick the Soul Reapers to come into his lair so he could obtain his objective. All the Zanpakutos were deceived and look like fools now. And all the Soul Reapers who went to his lair are looking equally stupid.

What’s there left to say? This plot is just about as bad as the Captain Amagai arc where everyone finds out the deception after it’s too late. Somehow someone’s always getting deceived in Bleach and they never figure it out until the bad guy comes out and tells them, and then it’s Ichigo to the rescue. Rinse, wash, repeat.

One of my favorite Olympic sports, weightlifting has suffered from doping scandals which have rocked the sport and put it on the verge of extinction. I sure hope the sport can figure it out by 2028, so I have the chance to see it live in person for the second time (the first time at Atlanta in 1996).

This is my attempt at reviving the former blog I kept on anime from 2008-2017 or so, without getting into trouble. If this works, I may make this a regular feature that I update all the time. We’ll see how it goes.
