The One Piece anime based on the popular manga of the same name by EiichirÅ Oda has been running since October 1999. That means it’s also celebrating it’s 10th anniversary this year.

It’s been a long wait but Bleach is finally back to its original story arch with the release of Bleach episode 190 (Hueco Mundo Chapter, Restart!). For the most part, this episode recaps the story all the way up to the fight between Kurosaki Ichigo and Grimmjaw. It goes all the way up to the equivalent of Chapter 287 of the Bleach Manga. This should be good news to anyone who’s like me and have had just about enough of the Amagai storyline.

I only watched Bleach anime episode 168 yesterday, after leaving it alone for about a week. Bleach episode 167 saw Kurosaki Ichigo in Vizard mode defeating the rank 6 Espada, Grimmjaw, in his fully released state. I was hoping that Bleach 168 would continue with the original story line and eventually show kiddy Nell turning into the hot chick Nell. Too bad.

The subtitled Naruto Shippuuden episode 56 has been released. From the second half of that episode, it looks like Naruto Shippuuden is going into filler mode again. The manga is currently at chapter 397 while episode 56 of Naruto Shippuuden is based around chapter 318, which means the manga is about 80 chapters ahead in story arc. Assuming around 1.5 manga chapters per anime episode, that means there’s roughly 50 episodes until the anime catches up.

2007 is winding to a close. I know that for a fact since I’ll pass a major milestone in my life just before the year ends. All that aside, I’m quite surprised at the number of anime series that I’ve viewed over the course of the year. As I look back, I can’t help but wonder where I found the time to watch all the episodes. Anyway, here’s a list of the series that I’ve watched in 2007, both completed and ongoing, both old and new.
