Anime vs. Manga

[Y]

I have this feeling for pretty much every shounen series.

I never understood why, in a series like Bleach, which pretty much hinges on it's flashy spectacular battles, you would want to experience it in silent, still, black and white images instead of with animation and color and a soundtrack.

The animation is dreadful, the still images from the anime rough and haphazard copies of the manga's panels, and the soundtrack is Shiroh Sagisu's worst work. Kubotite is a terrible storyteller but has an eye for the page in his better moments, and his miserable plots aren't improved in the slightest by interns banging out anime storyarcs.

Both movies were pretty decent for what they were, though.
