review 1: Bleach Volume 56 was rather lame overall but you might not notice from the actual review. It has something to do with how manga stories are told. It is a pattern I see in many anime and manga stories and it is not a bad story telling technique but it does get old after a while. It starts with the good guys suffering a horrible loss from an enemy that suddenly has a new power that no one can defend against. In previous Bleach stories it was hollows with unusual powers or powers that are suddenly more powerful than when previously encountered. It is not good to be a minor or background character in these stories because it means you despite being a supremely powerful being will be mowed down with no effort by the enemy. In your fight to the death you will not harm the ... moreenemy in anyway and they will not break a sweat when killing you. The one Quincy that has had problems is the one fighting Ichigo and to show how bad assed the Quincy has become he takes down a few Espadas that required several captains to take down in the Aizen storyline. So at this point the bad Quincies have over many many many pages killed a lot of pitifully confused Soul Reapers. They have managed to kill off at least one popular (or at least reoccurring) assistant Captain. The bad guys have found a way to capture or seal away the Bankai the Soul Reapers use as a release for their powers. The Soul Reapers cannot harm the bad guys even by hitting them with their swords or throwing stuff at the bad guys. It is at this point that the Office of Research starts trying to contact Ichigo without permission. After a bit of comic relief Ichigo is heading to help bail out the Soul Society only to be foiled at the last second and last page of the issue complete with taunting words from Quilge Opie (I think that is the correct name there were a lot of new characters introduced in this volume) the Quincy collector in Hueco Mundo.
review 2: This starts a new storyline, which is about the Quincies. I must admit that I am not really as interested in this as I was in The Fullbringer Saga. But, I will be following it. I don't really like that the Quincies can steal the Bankai's from the members of The Soul Society, no matter how interesting that can make the story. And, I hate that so many deaths are having to take place in this story as well.------- However, on the good side of things, Bleach is back to being the action-packed quick-read type of series that I always loved it for being, once again, instead of being so let's-talk-in-depth-about-everything-because-it's-all-so-darn-serious like it was there for a little bit. less
