T_T...
you do all know that just because there is an afterlife in an anime it doesnt make it the same...
or even alike...
if yu yu is alike to anything it would be flame of recca in presentation and abilitys... hell domon and kurama are the same type of character...
but bleach has a much more serious story than yu yu and touches on topics that dont even get thought about...
now I am not saying that bleach is anything as serious as technolaize but it isnt hard to be more serious than yu yu...
both are great animes in their own right but they are not alike... oh and come on hollows devouring the souls of the dead and creating more hollows... and the whole aizen trying to kill god by sacrificing a whole city... just a bit more serious than...... tiger demon and muscle man... and drunk dude (the guy from the dark tournament saga)[/b]
I half agree with you. I do think the shows aren't really alike in the least bit except the two main characters are "rebel" high school students, and that yu yu is more alike to recca(Although I liked the Recca manga alot more than yu yu) but I don't see how bleach is "darker".
Imo, bleach isn't "dark" in the least bit. It gives off a more mature vibe than most jump series, but I see it being alot tamer than even one piece and naruto.
It doesn't really touch on human emotion at all, and I just don't find the bleach situations scary at all. Recca and yu yu I did.(If you put yourself in situations in the manga.) Like when girls were locked in the room with mouri kouran after he merged with tendou jigoku, or with karasu killing people by touching them.
If anything, I see bleach as a modernized dragonball z. Just big energy lobbing clashing battles. It has mysterious characters, but other than that, It's a pretty shallow series.
Edit: just started 666 satan. Really good stuff. That kishimoto kicks his brother's ass all over the place.
