Bleach Complete Series 10 (Episodes 190-212)

Perfect

Excellent

Fantastic

not really happy wit the size of the vid and what with the damn border round the sides?? not happy about that! that kind of spoiled the vid!

This picks up where series 8 ended with Ichigo defeating Grimmjow and Uriu and Renji still battling Zialapalo with Peshi and Dondechaka. With out spoiling much, things quickly get worse for the Heros but suddenly receive some unexpected help from the soul reapers. Following this is a flashback arc which shows the History of the Visards, Azens early scemes and why Urahara was banished from the soul society.Overall, this is an essential part of Bleach, with a great battle and a flashback that explains a lot.

Let me start off by saying that this release is misunderstood. This box set has a gorgeous front cover. Byakuya has never looked so good before. The slip cover has a glossy feel to it, which I like on anime releases, especially on bleach. The boxes inside are the same as the part 1 and 2 individual releases. They look good too. Part 1 has Nel on it and she looks pretty good. Part 2 has Mayuri on it, looking crazy as he always does. Each box has a picture of Kenpachi inside. On its side view it looks really good as well. On the Amazon picture the small strip that says series 10 is actually an aqua colour and its actual certification is 12 not 15. This is typical of Kaze as they have pictures of their releases and when you get the item it's actually different from what you thought it would look like. Take Bleach series 11 for example - it shows to have a white background but the product itself has a black background. Not to mention it doesn't have series 11 it has series 12. Journey to Agartha has this problem as well. The discs have the same print on them as series 9, nothing special there.The flaws of this box set are that it has the description of the wrong series (series 9) which is mind boggling to think how they could make such a big error. Another problem is Kaze don't let you switch between the dubbed version and the dubbed version in between watching the episodes. This isn't as annoying for those of you, who watch it on a DVD player or anything like that, but I use my PS3 to play DVDs and Blu-Rays and normally you can switch between the 2 while it is playing on a PS3. Whenever you want to change between dub and sub you have to go through these Kaze openings and warnings of copyright first and cannot skip them to get to the main menu like you could in the previous releases before Kaze started doing Bleach; which is so annoying. This happens with the movies as well. You may also find that your box set will tilt slightly. I don't know if this is just my one or not but just be aware. And of course I have to get to the boarders. You'll first find the boarders' after the new (9th) opening of the first episode. This is pretty pointless and stupid to have. There really isn't much of a reason to have these here at all. But fear not, as it is not as bad as you may think. Don't let this put you off into getting this box set. Don't be put off by the people who have written bad reviews of this item because of the boarders and obviously haven't seen it the whole way through. The Boarders disappear until the recap bits that we have seen previously in series 8 are over and we get back to the story (which is about a third of the way in of the episode.)The plot of Bleach in this series sees the continuation of the Hueco Mundo Arc. The long awaited Captains appear to fight the Espadas, we find out a secret about Nel and her friends and we have the past arc as well which is good. If I give anymore away I'll be spoiling it for you.Overall I think it is a good Box set to get to add to your Bleach and Anime collection. I hope this clears any confusion.

But... This series box set has the full description for the wrong series (9) on the back. How does this even happen?The individual parts look great though, so i'll probably just show them instead... but... seriously? What a stupid mistake!I'm giving it 5 stars because the content is fantastic and the TBTP arc is Bleach at it's best.But if they make the mistake again i won't buy it

Great
