Manga Chapters: 65-70 (first half)
Number of Chapters: 6
Manga RAW: 168

My Predictions for this Chapter: 65- 68

They did more than what I had hoped they would do but they did leave some parts out from the chapter, I suspect they will come back to them at a later date. This was a great chapter but I suspect they are rushing it again. They were doing so well before but I suppose leaving one more episode before they enter Soul Society is to much for most anime watchers.

Predictions

Episode 21: Chapter 70-75

I still believe that this chapter will cover the whole Gatekeeper battle, even if it is 5 and a half chapters. I think it should end after the gate is closing on Gin’s face. That would be pretty cool.

Episode 21: Chapter 76-79

I think this episode will be about the meeting of the little parrot boy and the girl that will eventually send them over the wall.

It has been a while since I have posted about the bleach anime and I will again post my thoughts on two episodes.

Episode 18

Manga Chapters: 58-61
Number of Chapters: 4
Manga RAW: 167

My Predictions for this Chapter: 58-60

I was off by one but right in my general prediction. They added one more chapter to add in the time and make the ending a cliffhanger. It was a good chapter and they added in some funny transitional elements that made the anime good.

Episode 19

Manga Chapters: 62-64, 65 (first part)
Number of Chapters: 3 1/2
Manga RAW: none

My Predictions for this Chapter: 61-64

I’m not going to count manga chapter 65 against myself since they only used the first couple of pages and left the rest alone. They also put the manga chapter 65 in the near beginning so that isn’t quite fair that way. They made the chapter scenes a lot longer which is cool. They made his sword look pretty bad ass and kept true to the manga chapter.

Predictions

Episode 20: Chapter 65(rest of chapter, maybe), 66-68

I think they can make this episode really awesome while finishing the training session and having the party afterwards. They can also have some of the dad humor that is in the manga. I also hope they add in the rest of manga chapter 65 but they may add that in in the next episode.

Episode 21: Chapter 69-72

I believe that the majority of the episode is going to be the journey to the soul society and part of the fight with the gate keeper. This could change as they may put chapter 69 in with episode 20 and finish the gatekeeper battle in one episode.

Episode 22: Chapter 73-76

Will probably finish the Gatekeeper battle and conclude with the battle of the caption. It is a little to far ahead but it will probably also include the meeting with the brother and sister and the boy that Ichigo saved a while back.

Episode 23: Chapter 77-80

Ichigo and the rest are shown the way into soul society and more information is revealed about the inner city as the date of her execution is set back.

There is no point in continuing the predictions because there is no telling what they are going to do with the rest of the manga. I will update my predictions as always next week when I finish watching the next episode and predict the next three episodes after that. For not being able to update my predictions last week I did a pretty good job on the past two weeks. I just hope I am lucky with the next two episodes.

Manga Chapters: 55-57
Number of Chapters: 3
Manga RAW: 165

My Predictions for this Chapter: 55-57

I was right, what luck! I really liked this episode and that they are slowing down on using the manga chapters. They also added a lot of really cool action and talking. It both ended the rukia leaving and started the training arc at the same time. The next episode is going to be really awesome. Lets see if I’m right about the other chapters!

Predictions

Episode 18: Chapter 58-60

This will start the training arc, which is pretty cool because I had this episode as the end of the training arc so that is a good sign the anime isn’t going to end soon. It will probably end with the cutting of the chain of life and the cat will start training the Orhime and Chad.

Episode 19: Chapter 61-64

Second training session with Ichigo and some more training of the other two with the cat. The Ichigo training with probably be completed and end when the third test begins.

Episode 20: Chapter 65-67

This will end the training arc, if they don’t put the arc in two episodes then this will be the end of it. I hope they put the arc in three episodes because that would give the manga more time.

Episode 15

Manga Chapters: 26, 51
Number of Chapters: 2
Manga RAW: 164

My Predictions for this Chapter: 51-54

I was really wrong but this is a good thing. The point is they only used two manga chapters and expanded on the general story to make it longer. They also added the Kon Filler, which was really neat and I missed out on that when they skipped it.

Episode 16

Manga Chapters: 52-54
Number of Chapters: 3
Manga RAW: 165

My Predictions for this Chapter: 55-59

This episode was nice, they transitioned the anime really well and did a good job setting the next arc up. It is going to be pretty exciting in the next episodes.

My mistake was to put the manga chapters into a bigger arc and not split the arcs further, if I would had then I probably would of had better predictions. I won’t make the same mistakes with my future predictions. The only problem is that there is still some tidbits left in this arc that they left out so I suppose there will be another episode to finish this arc off but it isn’t like them to have three episodes in a small arc.

Predictions

Episode 17: Chapters 55-57

This episode will finish up the arc and the battle. It may show the aftermath since it will be three chapters and I don’t think they are going to do this episode in two.

Episode 18: Chapter 58-60

This will start the training arc, which is pretty cool because I had this episode as the end of the training arc so that is a good sign the anime isn’t going to end soon. It will probably end with the cutting of the chain of life and the cat will start training the Orhime and Chad.

Episode 19: Chapter 61-64

Second training session with Ichigo and some more training of the other two with the cat. The Ichigo training with probably be completed and end when the third test begins.

Episode 20: Chapter 65-67

This will end the training arc, if they don’t put the arc in two episodes then this will be the end of it. I hope they put the arc in three episodes because that would give the manga more time.

Episode 21: Chapter 68-71

Finish the training and go on the vacation before they enter the gate. They will probably be able to exit the gate and meet the gate keeper.

Episode 22: Chapter 72-75
