Was the bount arc THAT bad?

The only thing I remember about it is that it had an ending song where one of the dolls sang ''kick my pants''

Bleach filler villains always had some rather childish motivations
Kariya's entire reason for doing everything he did is because everyone feared how powerful he was so he decided he was going to blow up everything

Amagi's motivation was that he saw the commander kill his father, unaware that his father had been taken over by the Bakuto and there was no way to save him as such he fell pray to the Bakuto as well but decided to blow himself up before it could eat him

Muramursa was proud of his master's strength yet he knew Koga didn't give a damn about him yet even so he still did everything he could to get Koga out of that seal

Yashima was a lonely dude with no friends and a god complex thinking replacing the soul society with his own regai clones who obey him would ease his loneiness however the regai betrayed him, saved soul society and he dies finally having to accept that he was just lonely

It wasn't bad at all. It was just a derailment that killed the hype for the main plot-line.

The final clash between Ichigo and Jin Kariya...

Kariya: The Jokai Crest's power is backed by the strength of ALL the Bounts! Can you withstand it, Ichigo Kurosaki?!
Ichigo: What did YOU ever do to help the Bounts, Kariya?!
Kariya: ?!
Ichigo: You said yourself that they were nothing more than pawns to be used and thrown away! I'm not about to be defeated by someone like YOU!!
Kariya: You know NOTHING of me! The other Bounts feared my power and grew to hate me! In time, your friends will come to fear you too. And they'll begin to distance themselves from you. WHERE IS THE LOGIC IN PROTECTING DISLOYAL PEOPLE LIKE THAT?!!
Ichigo: It's not about logic; it's what I FEEL! I protect them because I WANT to! FOR THEM, I'D EVEN RISK MY SOUL!!
Kariya: Then you will LOSE your soul! (Jokai Crest activates) Nothing matters anymore! This the end of EVERYTHING!! (pushes Ichigo back but then Ichigo charges again)
Ichigo: KARIYAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! (explosion as they clash)
>Silence then Ichigo falls to one knee
Kairya seemingly victorious turns around
Kairya: Kurosaki...I am
>He disappears in a puff of smoke before he can finish his sentence
Ichigo: "You stupid idiot"

I clapped

My Pace

I watched the first 10 episodes and thought it was shit. Too much just time wasting with very slow plot progression and without the charm of the canon stuff.
Then I watched the reigai filler and honestly enjoyed it more than Hueco Mundo. Best filler for me, actually enjoyed it.

I actually started watching bleach around ep50-55, so I just saw a few episodes before the Bounto arc started.
it didn't strike me as so bad at the time, but maybe if I'd been more used to the main plot, I would have seen it differently

It was so bad it literally caused me to drop anime as a whole for like 4 years.

I hope you went back and watched the good part of Bleach.

The first half of Bount arc was pretty shit. The assault on Soul Society was ok, though

Reigai arc was ok but it had quite a lot of really good fights because Pierrot wasn't diverting resources into Bleach movies anymore. Komamura vs Soi Fon stood out to me.

I still prefer the Zanpakuto Rebellion arc because it forced the cast to use shit like Kidou to win fights instead of spamming their abilities as per usual

I did. It was great!

The fuck are you talking about retard the art and animation was fullblown atrocious and cheapened Rukia's return next arc.

i cannot remember a singular thing about the arc

The only thing I remember are these words of wisdom.

The zanpakuto rebellion arc was the only decent filler arc, but they fucked up by making all the spirits humanoid.

Yes.

This is the arc that made me swear off fillers of any kind. The fillers in bleach hurt, they were long as shit. The bount arc was like 30 episodes. And who could forget how they jammed a filler arc in the middle of the ichigo ulquiorra fight?

The only good part was the 3 compact souls.

And still they managed to be far less agonizing than Naruto and One Piece fillers. That shit was abysmal.

>we now interrupt the actual plot for this garbage

At this point I wish One Piece had filler again. Maybe the pacing of actual canon arcs wouldn't be time dilation then.

I skipped it and right now im on the arrancar arc, I'm getting pissed about them talking about characters I dont know about

It made me stop watching the anime entirely

knowing what we know now this line is hilarious
>"The zanpakuto should have free will just like the Soul Reaper!"

The fight between him and Muramursa was really good,too as well as Byakuya vs Koga

his zanpakuto was pure 13 year old fan self-insert level bullshit.

Remember Stockholm syndrome-riddled Bounto cake?
Literally bullied to death (and even beyond that) for chasing Chad all her life.

Would have been great if White was pulled out.

yeah, I was disappointed when Zabimaru lost his cool Baboon/snake design

Since Kubo designed all the spirits I think he either forgot the old one or just wanted to have a do over/ redesign it anyway. He's said drawing new characters and designs is what he finds to be the most fun after all.

>dog shit character designs
>just wanting it to be over
>Too boring to pay attention so don't realize wtf is going on

Yeah it was THAT bad

it was a original arc to fill time while the arancar shit got finished. it is probably the basis for the humans with power shit which gets added in after arancars and the fight with aizen
