Editorial Reviews

The battle against the evil Bounts grows wider and fiercer as Ichigo and friends, reinforced by a group of Soul Reapers, try to take the fight to their hideout. But the Bounts have many tricks up their sleeves, and it looks like certain defeat for Ichigo and his comrades. Uryu, who had lost his Quincy powers, is the key to the Bount leader Kariya’s plans for revenge against the Soul Society, as well as the key to his defeat. Will Uryu be able to regain his powers in time to save his friends?

4.0 out of 5 stars Bount Battles, take two, November 7, 2009

This review is from: Bleach Uncut Box Set: Season 4, Part 2 - The Bount (DVD)

Ichigo and his friends have been fighting the Bounts on and off, while trying to keep them from capturing Uryu. Bu the battle becomes a lot more intense in "Bleach Uncut Box Set: Season 4, Part 2" -- this collection brings together the last twelve episodes of the hit anime's first filler arc. It's top-heavy on the action, with loads of freaky dolls, flashy swordfights and enjoyably freaky villains... as well as fewer flashbacks.

The mysterious new dolls -- called "bitto"-- have started sucking the souls from living humans (and yes, I do love that phrase), which increases the Bounts' powers but also acts like a drug to their bodies and minds. When Kariya unleashes them on Karakura's population, Ichigo and his friends charge out to save the day, but quickly find themselves outmatched by the juiced-up Bounts and their dolls. But they have some unexpected allies -- a quartet of Soul Reaper lieutenants have arrived to help them drive back the Bounts.

While Ichigo's little gang recuperates from their fights, Yumichika has discovered the location of the Bounts' hideout, and the four Soul Reaper officers head inside. Obviously things go wrong for them, or this arc would end pretty quickly. Specifically, they run afoul of the bespectacled Ugaki, whose doll turns shadows into deadly weapons, eyeballs and giant hands. When Ichigo and Co. arrive, they are attacked by the same tactics.

In the meantime, Uryu encounters a Soul Reaper from the previous arcs -- Nemu Kurotsuchi, who has come there to give him a very special item that may provide some temporary help in his current trouble. And Ichigo has some shocking discoveries of his own when he finds and attacks the souped-up Kariya -- he learns the true origins of the Bount, and what their ultimate goal is.

While the first half of the Bount Arc was all about introducing the Bounts, the second half is all about the fighting -- our heroes are assaulted by shadow hands, flying eyeballs, dimension-swimming whales, metal spiders, malevolent flowers, ropy tentacles, and occasionally The Pizza Cutter From Hell. It all builds up gradually to a genuinely shocking climax... which is pretty obviously a lead-in for ANOTHER filler arc.

Fortunately this collection doesn't have just action. The writers also wove in some comedy ("FEEL THE POWER OF JUSTICE!" Ichigo bellows when using a magic headband, right before it slams him into a chainlink fence), some mild horror (people turning into dust), and the occasional warm'n'fuzzy moment. And with the advent of the Bounts' soul martinis, they become a LOT more impressive as villains -- now they're not just soul vampires, but crazy hopped-up junkie soul vampires.

The biggest problems: Koga's long, boring flashback about his protege (who is never mentioned again), and one character does something INSANELY contrived at the end of the arc, which is also uncharacteristically selfish, stupid and short-sighted. Even more bizarre, all the characters instantly forgive him.

And Ichigo and his amazing abs has some new problems to struggle with -- his handicapped bankai and his bloodthirsty hollow side. What's more, his devotion to his friends is illustrated when Keigo is attacked by a bitto. Uryu's feelings of helplessness reach a peak when he returns to the place where he previously trained, and we see just how strong the friendship between Rukia and Orihime is.... even if it is a bit too Saved By The Warm'n'Fuzzy Powers of Love.

The Bount arc may be over, but the story of their fight with the Soul Reapers obviously isn't. "Bleach Uncut Box Set: Season 4, Part 2" is a solid filler collection with some flaws, but plenty of slam-bang action and solid writing.

This review is from: Bleach Uncut Box Set: Season 4, Part 2 - The Bount (DVD)

first of all, bleach is awesome, but they are milking people of their money
the first 3 seasons contained from 20 to 22 episodes the number of episodes has been decreasing yet they charge people the same amount, season 4, part 2 only contains 12 episodes and it looks like season 11 will contain less than 10

Being a loyal fan to Bleach may make the review a tad bias. But be that it may the bount second part series is enjoyable and slower paced. You'll find yourself learning more about characters from the soul society and see further character development in the main characters. The story turned to develop the main characters intelligence, team work, and the ability to strategically plan their attacks. While doing so two of the main characters must overcome personal difficulties of there own abilities.
This is important for any long series to continue or you may find yourself watching the same old thing over and over again. Not to mention some series "dragon ball z" that was able survive on great antagonists created in that story.
It may sound like I'm depicting a long and boring story filled with boring analog and constant dialect but really doesn't. There are still great fight scenes, enjoyable comic relief,"its hilarious watching the two strongest fighters knock and insult each other while a friendship develops, and the little mod souls are relentless towards cone." the antagonists are well developed and you learn how much more ruthless the soul society can be. Anyhow, if your a fan of the series I know you own this boxset already and if your new to the series I suggest getting aquainted with Ichigo and the rest of the group by watching the previous seasons cause this show will be remembered as one of the all time great series of all time. Second to Naruto lol.
Thanks bluwolf10
