The fights scenes, the arcs, the character design, everything. Too bad it wasn&#8217;t all that well received in the United States. Cartoon Network barely aired the series (once a week in fact on the now defunct <a title=\"Bang...\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pivisuals.com\/news\/2008\/10\/the-revolution-will-be-televised\/\" target=\"_blank\">Toonami<\/a>). They only aired the first two seasons &#8211; concluding the Shishio saga. Now granted, this was 62 of the 95 total episodes,\u00c2\u00a0 and those last 33 did not follow the manga. So who knows how good they were. But something tells me they were still tons better than Bleach&#8217;s Bounts Arc.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, I am curious what this new version will contain. And I will probably find out in about three years. Actually, Jump Square is supposed to reveal more information in their next issue.
