Bleach Uncut Season 2 Box Set

two words FRIGGING AWSOME!!!! the only disapointing thing about the bleach searies is that there are only three to four shows on each disk.

Very well presented in a tight compact 5disc set that takes up no more soom than 3normal sized dvd cases. brilliant artwork on front cover and on disc trays themselves. Exceeded my expectations and well worth the buy for any tru BLEACH fann

I can't wait for season 3 boxset, this series keeps on getting better, great show, worth every penny!!!!!!!!

So far I am enjoying my purchase of Bleach Season two, there are no distortions or sunspots making the DVDs more enjoyable. Thank you signed Erin Eastwood

after ichigo and co hone their abilities in the world of the living with the help of urahara and yoruichi, they embark on their mission to save rukia before her execution.

in my point of view, the beginning of the second season begins much like the first season. whereas we are already well acquainted with ichigo and his troupe, we are now introduced to allies and enemies in the soul society each with their own interesting pasts. the only down side is that introductions are sometimes so quick that you sometimes can't remember who a character is (especially if you are unaccustomed to hearing japanese names). these introductions really seem to keep the plot line at a stand still for nearly five episodes until the rescue actually begins.

after about the first four or five episodes, however, we are dropped right into the action. ichigo and co are divided while entering the sereitei and are forced the fight for their lives while the members of the thirteen court guard squads attempt to hunt them down.

in contrast to the first season that has a really even pace, the second season accelerates very quickly by dropping us into the action as each of ichigo's troupe is forced to face off against the soul reapers, and later even the captains of the thirteen court guard squads. the only problem i have with this is that much of the action is balanced by unnecessary dialogue. in at least two instances one fight may stretch over two episodes which leaves you feeling if you had gotten your money's worth. action is also interrupted by semi-relevent or irrelevent back story, such as the explanation of chad's loyalty to ichigo and the karakura superheroes respectively.

as for the tone, despite the greater degree of action, the second season is much like the first. we are given our dose of action, humor and even sentimentality over the course of the season creating a very solid anime.

though the second season seems to really take off after the first few episodes, the uneven pacing can become rather annoying as unnecessary dialogue interrupts action. even so, the content and plot make-up for this small downfall.
