Bleach Finale Update: Series To End In 5 Chapters
Just last week there was an article saying Bleach was ending in a undisclosed number of chapters. Well looks like we have an official number and that number is five. Yes that’s right, in five chapters the Bleach series will come to an end after 15 years.
In the 73rd volume of the manga it said that the next volume, 74 will be the final volume of the manga. This means the series will wrap up at around 685 chapters. As a recent fan of the series it’s actually some what sad to find that the series you’re taking a liking to will be ending in a month. However this can give me a chance to pace myself as far as reading and watching the manga.
Bleach fans how do you feel about this sudden information? Let me know your thoughts!

Cartoon Hangover
Anybody who’s an Anime ( Anime a style of Japanese film and television animation, typically aimed at adults as well as children) (NO NOT ALL ANIME IS PORN) fend like me and my fellow anime watcher Devin Brown or not needs to checkout and get ya fill of cartoons 24/7 365 (NO I’m NOT talking about Cartoon Network) I’m talking about a YouTube channel called Cartoon Hangover. When I first heard about this YouTube channel I was in one of my many Anime FaceBook groups scrolling through and found a video post a cartoon called Bee and Puppycat the name alone drew me in when clicked the link I was definitely not disappointed.
Here’s the synopsis
Bee is a cheerful young woman in her twenties who is habitually fired from menial, low-paying jobs. On her way home ) a failed job opportunity, PuppyCat, a strange, mysterious creature falls from the sky . She takes him in and when he sees that she is broke and unemployed, PuppyCat teleports himself and Bee to an alternate dimension where they are given a job by TempBot, a gigantic, intelligent television screen. Despite the dangers that this line of temporary jobs would pose, Bee finds that she has a talent for the work and that it pays well enough for her to disregard the dangers. An ongoing plot element of the series is PuppyCat’s past, which is shrouded in mystery. There are hints that he may be a space outlaw who was transformed into a monster by the Space King, who was angry over the pirate’s romance with his daughter. Another ongoing plot element is Bee’s romantic feelings for her friend Deckard, a talented chef who seems to harbor a crush on Bee but finds that this complicates his decision to pursue a cooking career.
So after looking at this 6min pilot of pure delight I was very impressed by the storyline and plot and it’s adult themed show Looking through Cartoon Hangovers YT channel they not only had Bee and Puppycat Webisodes they had other well written;thought out cartoon webseries cartoons that ( child; family friendly) funny as hell! Bee and Puppycat has become soo popular until it’s become brand, you can see Bee and Puppycat Cosplayers (the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game, especially one from the Japanese genres of manga and anime or popular cartoons) merchandise all over the web!
Cartoon Hangover YT Channel was created by Frederator Studios television channel these folks had the smart idea to have audience participation to pitch their own cartoon that MAY be greenlite and your show aired on Cartoon Hangover I think this is a SWEET IDEA if you are looking to write and produce your own animated short that could possibly lead to bigger opportunities. I LOVE this YT Channel I love it so much until I think I need REHAB but I ain’t goin’ cause I got a hangover for cartoon hangover! Since I love Bee and Puppycat sooo much click the link below to see what all the hype is about! FYI DON’T EVER CALL ANIME A CARTOON! LOL
Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F Breaking Records

If this success keeps up Resurrection F will be one of the top 10 anime releases of all time! Right next to Hayao Miyazaki’s Howl’s Moving Castle and The Wind Rises.
As a DBZ fan this is fantastic news to see DBZ make history like this. If you haven’t seen it yet, see it this weekend, and if you’ve already seen it, see it again! Let’s help DBZ make history!
Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F Review (Spoilers)
As all us anime fans know, the new Dragon Ball Z movie, Resurrection F was released yesterday. Today was my town’s first showing of the movie which I preordered my ticket for. All i have to say is, I LOVED IT! As the title says, the movie is about the resurrection of DBZ’s most iconic villain, Frieza. After being wished back to life, he wastes no time on planning to kill Goku and pretty much destroy the earth.
When comparing this to last year’s movie Battle of Gods, this movie is definitely better than its predecessor. It’s very fast paced and full of action, and it also has its comedic moments as well. The fight between the Z Fighters and Frieza’s soldiers was awesome and it was good to see characters who have been in the background be in the spotlight again.
The fight between Goku and Golden Frieza was definitely shining moment in this movie. In the beginning it was Frieza who had the upper hand but as the fight dragged out it was went in Goku’s favor. I loved the new Super Saiyan God transformations as well and while I do love the movie I do wish that it was Vegeta who go the kill instead of Goku seeing is how he has more of a reason to hold a grudge against Frieza than Goku did. But nonetheless it doesn’t take away the awesomeness of this movie.
All in all, I give Resurrection F a 9.5/10 if you haven’t seen you better buy your tickets now before it’s too late!
