Do you know bleach?

Bleach (ブリーチ Burīchi?) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tite Kubo. Bleach follows the adventures of Ichigo Kurosaki after he obtains the powers of a Soul Reaper (死神 Shinigami?, literally, "Death God") —a death personification similar to the Grim Reaper—from another Soul Reaper, Rukia Kuchiki. His newfound powers force him to take on the duties of defending humans from evil spirits and guiding departed souls to the afterlife, and set him on journeys to various ghostly realms of existence.

Bleach has been serialized in the Japanese manga anthology Weekly Shōnen Jump since August 2001, and has been collected into 65 tankōbon volumes as of September 2014. The series has spawned a media franchise that includes an animated television series that was produced by Studio Pierrot from 2004 to 2012, two original video animations, four animated feature films, ten rock musicals, and numerous video games, as well as many types of Bleach-related merchandise. English-language releases of Bleach are coordinated by Viz Media, which has released several volumes of the manga each year since 2004, and published chapters of Bleach in its Shonen Jump magazine since November 2007. 62 such volumes are available in English as of November 2014. Viz Media secured foreign television and home video distribution rights to the Bleach anime in 2006. Cartoon Network's Adult Swim began airing dubbed episodes of Bleach in the United States that Fall, and Hulu later began to stream subtitled versions of the anime a week after each episode aired in Japan. Viz Media has also released each of the Bleach feature films in English.

Bleach received the Shogakukan Manga Award for the shōnen demographic in 2005, and is among the best-selling manga in both Japan and the United States. Bleach has sold more than 84 million copies in Japan since its publication, and continues to perform commercially despite significant downturns in both the Japanese and English manga markets. Among critics, Bleach is most commonly praised for its action scenes, character designs and art, but considered to have a relatively stereotypical plot, oftentimes sluggish pacing, and draws widely variant opinions as to the quality of its characterization.

Tom And Jerry Movies

October 1, 1992 saw the first international release of Tom and Jerry: The Movie when the film was released overseas to theatres in Europe of that year[26] and then domestically by Miramax Films on July 30, 1993,[27] with future video and DVD releases that would be sold under Warner Brothers. Barbera served as creative consultant for the picture, which was produced and directed by Phil Roman. A musical film with a structure similar to MGM's blockbusters, The Wizard of Oz and Singin' in the Rain, the movie was criticized by critics for giving the pair dialogue (and songs) through the entire movie. It was also criticized because the film did not completely focus on the duo.[citation needed] In 2001, Warner Bros. (which had, by then, merged with Turner and assumed its properties) released the duo's first direct-to-video movie, Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring, in which Tom covets a ring which grants mystical powers to the wearer, and has become accidentally stuck on Jerry's head. It would mark the last time Hanna and Barbera co-produced a Tom and Jerry cartoon together, as William Hanna died shortly after The Magic Ring was released.

Now we go to Tom And Jerry

Tom and Jerry is an American animated series of short films created in 1940 by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. It centers on a rivalry between its two main characters, Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse, and many recurring characters, based around slapstick comedy.

In its original run, Hanna and Barbera produced 114 Tom and Jerry shorts for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer from 1940 to 1957. During this time, they won seven Academy Awards for Animated Short Film, tying for first place with Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies with the most awards in the category. After the MGM cartoon studio closed in 1957, MGM revived the series with Gene Deitch directing an additional 13 Tom and Jerry shorts for Rembrandt Films from 1960 to 1962. Tom and Jerry then became the highest-grossing animated short film series of that time, overtaking Looney Tunes. Chuck Jones then produced another 34 shorts with Sib-Tower 12 Productions between 1963 and 1967. Two more shorts were produced, The Mansion Cat in 2001 and The Karate Guard in 2005, for a total of 163 shorts. Various shorts have been released for home media since the 1990s.

Naruto Part 3

It came and went, Naruto fans; the final chapters of the manga were released to the world this week. I praised the two-part finale in my review. The most exciting chapter was the epilogue where the original cast members got kids of their own. Still, all good things must come to an end, but don’t worry Naruto fans, because Part 3 is just around the corner!

A complaint I have regarding the finale is the disappearance of major antagonists. Even after the time-skip there was no mention of Orochimaru, the major villain of Naruto Part 1. Kabuto wasn’t mentioned either. I was expecting to see at least one panel where Masashi Kishimoto explained what happened to the characters who served as villains in the series for years.

I liked the panels that showed the previous Kage’s talking with each other. All of them looked old except Tsunade who still kept her youthful appearance even though she was an old woman now.

Moving on to the kids (the new generation of ninjas) it was fun seeing the offspring of the main cast. With NaruHina becoming canon, Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga gave birth to two kids, a son named Bolt or Boruto and a younger daughter named Himawari.

Both kids resemble their parents and I wonder which one of them got the Byakugan from Hinata. Bolt does come across as a copy of Naruto when he was a child: when Naruto was a kid he used to play pranks in order to get noticed by the village. In a similar sense Bolt played pranks to get attention from his father. The panel where he asked Naruto to help clean the mess his prank made 10801918_312948705555604_3010104631909518392_nwas quite emotional. I hope Bolt understands that his father is busy as the seventh Hokage and Naruto tries to spend more time with his little son.

The other major pairing in the series was Sasuke and Sakura who gave birth to a girl named Salada. Her name has already become a joke in the fandom. I was expecting Sasuke to have more than one kid to revive the Uchiha clan. Is it just me or does Salada look a lot like Karin Uzumaki? Maybe her resemblance is just a coincidence or maybe she actually is Karin’s and Sasuke’s child and not Sakura’s? That would give rise to a whole lot of drama in the already controversial Sakura and Sasuke romantic pairing.

Salada’s personality is similar to Bolt’s. I have a feeling those two are going to end up becoming a romantic couple and the Uchiha and Uzumaki bloodlines are going to merge. Just like Bolt, Salada is trying to find affection from her father, who is out on some journey. There was a panel where Sasuke felt someone looking at him when Salada remembered her father. Maybe those two share some sort of a deep connection? That would be an interesting power to have.

Other cast members also got kids of their own. Ino and Sai gave birth to a shy daughter. Shikamaru and Temari had a son, and Chouji became the proud father of a daughter with a big appetite. Lee also got a son and I wonder if he ended up marrying TenTen because she was seen minding her weapons shop and looking bored because of how peaceful things were in the world.

There are a lot of things that Kishimoto hasn’t explained. The Last: Naruto the Movie will help fill the blanks during the time-skip and there will be a treat for the fans next year. According to Anime News Network, Part 3 of Naruto will be released in spring 2015. It will be a mini-series focusing on the new generation of ninjas and will be part of Naruto’s New Era Opening Project.

The ending of Naruto felt a lot like the ending of Dragon Ball and Harry Potter, with the main cast having kids and moving on with their lives. With the new mini-series set to be released next year I’m looking forward to seeing my favorite ninjas again!

What are your thoughts about the Naruto finale? What do you think about the new generation of ninjas?
