Bleach has been attracting attention for the wrong reasons again – in this case for managing to leave production directions scrawled all over an entire scene broadcast on TV (clearly visible in the second frame).
Although sloppy animation and occasional relatively subtle errors afflict even the most well received of anime and may be excused, managing to leave in an entire frame of production directions is rather pushing the envelope.
It’s filler anyway, who cares?
Bleach filler is actually pretty good. This was like the worst of the well animated episodes during this arc and it still looked great. Anyways, if you hate the fillers they are about to end. Have fun watching the genius of Tite Kubo as Ichigo takes on teddy bears, enchanted doll houses, mystic PSPs, and superpowered LV Nancy Sinatra “these boots are made for walking” footwear.
Scribble, Scribble.
after the soul society arc, bleach gets more and more predictable. it became boring after the soul society arc, i dropped it after the sa arc
Well, animation and quality failiures are common in Bleach anime. Not only extremely stupid scripts to all fillers but shabby animation, low ammout of detail and such things. 1st season was awesome. Then all went to hell.
Was this in a filler episode? Didn’t watch…just read the manga if you care about a frame being screwed by some random crap. Saves you a lot of time and you don’t have to watch those shit fillers.
saw that ep last night wow
hollow ichigo
good fight/battle and how nosume took her own life
what will happen next
you call it an error but i call it an easter egg lol
it no longer has a storyline, and has become an entirely filler anime… it sucks to watch it nowadays.
Bleach has been trash since after the first season. They need to just end that shit.
…how do people even notice this stuff
Well japanese animators and mangakas are payed SHIT money so dont whine for quality.
This is not that bad. Poorly drawn characters/animations are worse than the storyboard being visible in the back.
Still, it shouldn’t be there.
For everyone who complains about bleach fillers, the bleach fillers are better then 99% of the anime out there. They most certainly are better then the horrible naruto fillers thats for god damn certain, the ‘filler arcs’ are at least better then most of Index.
The bountu arc, and even the hugely extended Aizen arc were interesting enough to keep viewers. Lets see all the complainers write and animate their own animes and manga.
You all act like ‘it’s easy’. Let’s see you do better. Sure bleach devolves into monster of the week/bad guy of the week. But at least the battles are pleasing to watch.
Lets not try to act like bleach and dragon ball don’t share huge similarities in their “train/fight/train/fight” action tropes.
oh yeah why are there words
can someone tell me what wrong with it
Say you don’t like Bleach is the same that you don’t like RK and DBZ and please you know those serie. I bet that all this monkey’s that are complaining don’t watch the anime or either the manga.
But one way or another, this post is RIGHT HERE AND YOU ARE THERE (watching naruto filler’s). And there is nothing you can do xDDD!!!
Bleach Quality Higher Than Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is totally normal. Kubo just used his ability to make the background dissapear leaving behind the production directions.
Pretty good animation for a filler (not like naruto fille’s). The next one is gonna to be EPIC, le duela quien le duela.
i thought it ended a long time ago…. the anime it is….
don’t worry it will be fixed in the blu-ray.
but who buys blu-ray anyway? meh.
That’s a seal spell put on that mountain thing those are not production notes!
Quality Inspector: “Nobody watches fillers anyway so I’ll just leave an easter egg here…”
No matter, is just one frame in a Filler episode, nobody cares, the design of the anime himself is very good, so…
Wanna know what is really terrible? Naruto ep 167, Kyuubi vs Pain, Naruto makes Pain as a nail, Dear Lord, what’s wrong with the animation? ridiculous job in a entire important episode…And people still complain about one frame in a filler ¬¬
really? this was the first episode of bleach ive watched in a while since that princess filler arc and i thought i was imagining things when i thought the animation looked almost bleach-movie like
I’ll just take this as a subliminal “How We Make Animations” subliminal documentary..
Nice post, this is sure to bait fans of the show to bring in the $$$$$
i love the fact people are freaking out about 1 frame…. half of the Moe shit we see (even though i love it) it plain fugly. at least in Shonen manga the animators make an effort ><
LOL
Yeah, ok then
This episode is surprisingly high quality. It’s like they put budget of 3-4 episodes into this one.
I didn’t notice anything wrong.
I like how people here on SC talk shit about a show without having watched the up-to-date ones.
i make it a point to quit watching animes after 2 seasons. nothing good comes from unending animes.
LOL @ all the bleachtards complaining.
I see ELEPHANT in 2 pic
its a filler for god’s sake we dont care the quality
and man for just one frame, sankaku must be desperate for news
Bleach this Bleach that IMO if you remove the fillers and the filler arcs the series is good, at least that how I watch it. Im probably going to renumber the eps in my arcive
Until season 3 Bleach was being pretty awesome. Too bad they decided to extend it too much… and too bad it took a different direction from what I was expecting.
Seriously?
People are complaining about this? I had to watch the scene 6 times now to try and see it and finally said “screw it” and turned on slow-mo just to catch the notes.
Sorry only Jump I watch is Gintama cuz it’s the only show thats over hundred episodes and not boring. I await the day the Jump Triforce breaks up and disappears, finally let someone new take a jab at the shonen game.
Indeed that’s bad. First it’s one or two frames, and the next thing you know, you get minute long passages cluttered with so many notes – you could think someone forgot to turn of the jpeg artifact compression generation filter.
Bad production quality is BAAAD.
There was nothing wrong with the scene (or the episode in general, which featured some pretty high profile animators), it just looked that way because, guess what, that’s the animation style of the animator that did it.
Unless this is all just a (weak) troll, Artefact
should get a clue about animation before posting.
would you mind giving us the name of the animator?
it would be interesting to see his other works.
Thats rich, coming from someone who watches a series mostly of fillers, like that other monstrosity and never ending anime, what was it called, abluto, oh thats it Naruto…
Fillers are an insult to anime watchers,
Fillers are there to give the manga time to get ahead of the anime as, since they’re both weekly and you can fit a lot more into an episode than you can in an issue, the anime catches up to the manga very quickly. I don’t see it as an insult, sure it is annoying and 90% of the time entirely predictable and boring.
I watched this episode and was paying close attention to the detail, since it was pretty nicely animated, and I didn’t notice the single frame of fail. It happens, I don’t know why people get so butt-hurt over Bleach. If you don’t watch it, why even bother to comment on it? “I stopped watching it because X, therefore it’s entirely unacceptable that they messed up a single frame in a well animated scene.”
Go away and watch some more of your moe bull, since that seems to be the only thing the SanCom community watch. Pointless shit with pointless characters and pointless stories about pointless protagonists leading nowhere and ultimately being forgotten the next day. And people have a cheek to talk about Bleach’s plot. Go back to jacking over K-on and Madoka.
Hello? I’m talking about the actual animation here, not the freaking plot.
HOW DARE THEY!
HOW DARE THEY FUCK UP ONE BLOODY FRAME IN THAT ONE SECOND!
Another, Shonen sellout trying to get that One Piece money.
This and Inuyasha would of been classics if they just ended when they were supposed to – Season 3.
Yea it could only happen in just one frame, but still leaving some of them unchecked is unprofessional despite hiring the good animators.
Don’t make stuff up, it was only ONE frame
There is nothing in the first frame you posted, you are just stiring hate
lol someone just exploDED in rage, its still lazy but I gave up watching the anime of bleach due to so many fillers, is it on the xceutioner whatever the hell is called arc yet?
I think there are coming some fillers new; an arc just finished it’s main story. After that, I’m pretty sure the hell-arc would be beginning, as they’ve already given us a preview.
And whatever you do, don’t watch naruto. It’s 1/3 fillers. Well, the first season is. Not joking.
banking? I meant bankai lol
the ending credits had a recap of Aizen’s defeat this week followed by ichigo in plain clothes with voice over saying banking over and over again “because i won’t be saying it for a long time”
Bleach isn’t really one of my favorite animes, I enjoyed it at first but then somewhere along the way it lost it’s luster. I’m not saying it’s a bad show, but it’s not what it used to or could have been.
But despite this, I wouldn’t criticize it for having ONE frame with the production directions. In fact, if anything it could be considered an easter egg of sorts and may have been deliberate.
You seem to be new here, that’s all this site is for
*4chan. Typo. *le fail*
You my good sir, seem to be new to the internet. 2chan is the place you’re supposed to go to. And I’m not the guy above. Just sayin’.
Hi welcome to hel..I mean Sankaku Complex. Be sure to browse the hentai section and click on one of the pop-up ads of happiness on your way out. Thank you.
building is drawn by a pencil brah
considering japanese anime is usualy done in either 6-8 frams thats a big gap……
lets face it most anime is craply animated thats why its so easily mass produced -_-‘
Most western cartoons are crappily animated as well (fluidity alone does not equal good animation) and they still manage to eat millions of dollars of production funds despite that… Personally I’d take the Japanese philosophy of highly aesthetic designs over the 30fps-but-eye-cancer-inducing western concept of animation any day.
@ anon 09:10
Did you even read the article?
Great that you put “personally” in your statement because this is a matter of opinion than fact.
Both west and east use stylized animation but Japan sacrifice tons of framerate for detail. Animations from US costs a lot simply because animators/concept artists/storyboard artists/etc… are paid more than their eastern counterpart. Japan’s side pay their people very little unless their name is Miyazaki.
This really boils down to whether you like constant movement or highly stylized art. Personally, I like both, but am currently leaning towards western animation atm since, story-wise, contents in Japan are really lacking atm. I used to like Gintama before it became a potty joke series.
It’s funny how anime was inspired by American cartoons, and now American cartoons are inspired by anime!
But anyway, why are people getting so butthurt over ONE frame of animation?! I understand that anime uses less frames per second than conventional animation, but this is just nitpickery cranked to the max! It’s funny don’t get me wrong, but really? Why get worked up over it?
I stopped watching Bleach too after having to deal with waaaaay too many filler arcs that make even DBZ blush!
It sure does smell like weeaboo in here.
Highly aesthetic? Doesn’t that go completely against what this article is about?
fillers are always of low quality.
Yeah, no one really cares about fillers
Always amazes me to see people watching and enjoying the current filler..
It’s pretty stupid and pretty bad.. Maybe the sword spirit filler arc was decent, but the rest where like the cake making episode…
Looks like the Bleach fanboys are upset and in a down-vote frenzy.
It amazes me people actually keep watching Bleach. They’re up to what now… 350 episodes? I crashed at 60 episodes.
The first arc was actually nice. It went down after they rescued female military chick.
Well, some people don’t suffer from ADHD. Just sayin’.
I stopped at 12 lol
I’ve tried about 20 spiesodes and switched to dragon ball kai
It can be damn well animated, but leaving production scribbles is still a very unprofessional thing to do.
It`s probably something as simple as switching off a layer, but the fact that it was missed out means that there was sloppy checking.
It`s just like a dish from a restaurant tasting godly, but finding that there`s a fly in it after you are done.
This is NOT a “production scribble”, it looks that way on purpose. That drawing is exactly as it should be, because that’s the effect that particular animator is going for.
Believe it or not, there is more than one animation style in anime. This is just one of them.
It’s a spoiler and it’s a revelation.
The green light washed the lies away. My whole life was just frames, words hanging in the air like bubbles. I was in a graphic novel. Funny as Hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.
So having some random logos of the manuscript paper or whatever you call it that they used was done for an “artistic purpose”?
What’s this? some payed advertisement in my anime?
*top right
Before you get so defensive at the apparent hate on the internet, take a step back – no, wait, take a step closer to the screen.
We’re NOT TALKING ABOUT THE CLOUDS. Even if it looks sloppy, I can accept it as style. But hello? Please, convince me that the box full of kanji writing at the top left of the explosion is an effect.
dear god!! that could be epic!!!
that tears it, next arc must be a bleach/otomedius/parodius crossover!
The explosion is so epic, that it produced KANJI!!!!
What i dont get is why t5he fuck does anyone care? IT’S FUCKING BLEACH! Nobody watches it anyways.
The fact that is Bleach is beside the point. I’m just irritated by people going “hurr durr bad animation” when they know jack shit about animation.
Bleach sux people who watches it live boring lives… period.
bleach IS shit. look what they did to aizen.
I know a little about animation, but this is besides the point here, the fact that this kinda shit made it to air shows a lack in the production staff. This should never ever happen, thankfully something like is easy to correct and probably won’t lose them to much money, unlike in the printing industry where a fuck up could end up costing thousands and thousands of dollars and one single persons job because they never asked Joe sitting in the desk next to them to double/triple/quadruple check their work, which is industry standard for this kinda thing. Fucking idiots.
Bleach is the shit.
So what is a good animation?Are animations not aimed at consumers?If the consumers themselves are not contented, you tell me, how do you even justify that animation as good?You can be happy with it in your own way, but the majority still defines good/bad, and no one is forcing you to follow suit.
you anon Shit is the real Shitty asshole!
Check yo shit motherfucka!
Talk shit about Bleach ONE MORE TIME!
Lol, I even see something like kanji written there XDD
Shame, the latest season actually has had outstanding visual quality so far.
You forgot to mention the fact that this episode was actually pretty damn well animated and had some high tier animators hired.
Exactly, so just accept it as an unintentional easter egg and be done with it. It’s not like somebody drew, animated and colored two left legs with seven toes and three knees completely unnoticed by QA, for goodness’ sake.
It really did look better than most bleach episodes, despite that error with the production directions(which I never even noticed while watching). And I mean in fighting animations, as they were actually animations instead of stills with moving backgrounds.
Although, just like all the previous fillers, this also sucked…
High tier? Still looks like jank to me. :-/
jank is the moe shit most of the people here watch
U mad?
Bleach, Naruto, blehhhhhhh
people still watch this?
it went to shit after episode 130 or so
Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
Stopped watching after the Bount arc. Just got to be more of the same.
True, the Hollow ghostbuster and the Soul Society arcs were the only part that were really interesting to me. The moment they bring all those made-up filler arcs just ruined all the mood to continue watching the show.
After episode 62!
Seriously, after the Soul Society arc you’ve already seen the best Bleach has to offer. It’s just one endless downhill slide after that, even if you just stick to the manga.
The view count of bleach anime after the Arrancar Arc is similar to that of FF14 user count after two months of its release.
I didn’t even watch it..
…………..what, lol I just watched this episode and didn’t see shit wrong with the quality, in fact some of the scenes we’re pretty good, it looked a wee bit different but it was good.
Guess some people can’t accept “Change”
p.s It’s an anime, it’s BS to settle thing on 1-2 frames of an animation.
>Guess some people can’t accept “Change”
lolwut?
don’t get me wrong, i’m still amazed there are people that seem to be skimming through episodes frame by frame to find that kind of stuff but trying to justify that shit as “change” is just ridiculous.
what is that even supposed to mean, that in the future we’ll see more of that kind of QUALITY and that you’re ok with that?
look at the second picture a bit closer.
I wasn’t talking about that frame (that 99% of viewers didn’t even notice)
also “Change” was a sort of joke……XD
I was talking about the episode in general.
the frame in the post dumbass
What frame?
>scrawled all over an entire scene
Don’t make shit up, it was only ONE frame
Who watches this garbage to even notice anyway?
This should NOT have been posted. You’re gonna anger the Bleach fanboys. <_<
Who watches the Bleach anime, anyway?
your grandpa
:O
You did not go there~!
(Hurray for feeding trolls!)
