Bleach Uncut Set 16

Best filler arc
This arc is the zanpakuto rebellion and is a great arc, while its annoying to get the main story interrupted, this arc is by far the most interesting filler arc as we get to flesh out the zanpakuto and give them faces"

More Filler, But Not Too Bad
Chaos erupts in The Soul Society as Zanpakutou separate from their masters. They are led by a man named Muromasa. Now the Soul Reapers have to battle the human form of their weapons and make them submit. The disappearance of Captains Zaraki, Kuchiki, and Yamamoto have left The Soul Society weakened severely. Not to mention the defection of Aizen's group. Ichigo joins the fight to help restore order.

Just when the story was getting good, we get more filler. Bleach is the worst series in anime history for doing this. It wouldn't be as bad if these arcs came in-between major battles as opposed to right in the middle of them. As much as I want to hate this arc for interrupting the action, I can't. I really am enjoying this arc. Its better than the Bount and Rurichiyo arc. There are some people out there that don't like this part, but so far I like it. I wish they had chosen a better place to put it, but there's nothing we can do about it. May as well enjoy it.

Bleach Vol. 16 - Widescreen
Bleach Uncut Sets 11-15 are only available in fullscreen here in the US. Almost half the screen is cropped out on any given episode, so calling it "Uncut" seems a bit dishonest

Uncut Vol 16 will be the first Bleach DVD in widescreen format (not counting movies)

According to various listings on Amazon, iTunes and Viz Media, I've made a chart comparing the stats of different Bleach TV releases in the US.

Volumes 01-10 :: Native Fullscreen :: DVD only
Volumes 11-15 :: Cropped Fullscreen :: DVD only
Volumes 16-END :: Native Widescreen :: DVD only

Edit:
All episodes of Bleach TV are made in 480p, meaning no blu rays.

While the episode content itself may be "uncut", my understanding is that the ending animations are replaced with slideshow credits.
