List of Bleach chapters

I have nominated this list after having gone through copy-edit and a peer review. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 22:28, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

• Comments, for "The individual chapters are collected by Shueisha in a series of tankōbon volumes, which also include a poem by the cover character" maybe a slight rewording of "The individual chapters are collected and published by Shueisha in tankōbon volumes, which are also given English names and which have a poem "composed" by the cover character" (since the characters didn't really write the poems :) and to explain the English names in the table. Other than that, "Viz released the first volume on June 1, 2004, and the twenty-fifth on December 2, 200" seems to imply that Viz is only releasing 25. Why not use the standard "Viz Media released the first volume on June 1, 2004, as of December 2008 twenty-five volumes have been released." The two sentences that follow could be combined in into one. Also, its never specifically/explicitly noted that Viz licensed the series, only that it serialized it and published it. "The distributing company Viz Media..." seems a bit of a mis-description to me. Viz doesn't just distribute other people's work. It licenses, with translation, anime and manga, but it also produces original content in the form of its various magazines and it releases live-action films as well. If the sentence is kept in that format, maybe use "North American licensor Viz Media..." -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 01:33, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

I know the list had a CE, but it still seems to have at least some incompleteness and some errors. Like the volume 1 summary says Ichigo slayed a Hollow. Hollows are dead, you can't kill something again. Pretty sure he didn't "kill" him, but what is it they called it, cleanse? I don't have my volume on hand at the moment to check the term and explanation on that. It also neglects to note that Ichigo was reluctant to be the substitute, or that he did deal with other Hollows before Orihime's brother. Volume 2's summary says the hollow at the boy/parakeet, but it didn't. Chad, even not being able to see it, was able to protect the parakeet. Ichigo didn't help Kon defeat a hollow, he saved Kon (Kon had no powers like that, he was just getting it away from the kids). "Ichigo learns that Soul Society attempted to kill him and is captured by Kisuke Urahara" is confusing and implies that Ichigo was captured, not the soul. And its missing at least some explanation of why they tried to kill Kon. The summaries all seem perhaps too short for 200 page volumes that often have a lot happening in them. If size is an issue, it might be good to look at splitting the list (particularly since it is an on-going series that already has 36 volumes, with I'd expect another 4 coming at the minimum just from the current list of uncollected chapters. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 15:03, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

The things you mentioned were fixed. For some reason Shueisha waits a lot to release a volume from Bleach although there are several chapters uncollected. The problem of some volumes is that they focus a lot in fights (especially vols 28+), making little plot development. A split could be good, but it would be better to wait more volumes since size is not a issue for now.Tintor2 (talk) 15:19, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Comment Probably will not support or oppose, as I was the copy-editor, so my ability to make neutral judgements is severely impaired here. Note that my edits addressed language and flow only, I cannot confirm whether they changed the content or not. Perhaps ask User:Sephiroth BCR about it. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:07, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
