Actually, you know what DOES bother me about Bleach and similar serials?
What the fuck happened to Hollows?
Seriously. Earlier in the series, they make it sound like Hollows are an omnipresent problem that need to be regularly checked on. Once the Arrancar started showing up, though, they seem to have completely disappeared!
Last I heard of actual Hollows... as in the everyday problem kind, not Menos Grande... was during the Kaien flashback during Rukia's fight, way back when.
Look, I realize Aizen and his goons are a huge threat and all... but doesn't it seem like the everyday Hollows are being completely ignored? Heck, what about the everyday souls that need to be sent on?
I want a filler arc of a brand new character, a "grunt" Shinigami who is still doing HIS JOB (remember when Ichigo had a sense of DUTY to him?) amid all this chaos and wondering WTF is going on.
(The "similar serials" thing was the issue of "the everyday foe" being phased out when the bigger fish start flopping around)
