Hit 50 rewatches of the 'Soul Society' arc in Bleach... and I'm starting to see things differently.

Ever notice how the fights you thought were just cool start to feel more personal after a bunch of rewatches? I used to just watch for the big sword clashes, but now I really see how Ichigo's fight with Byakuya is about two guys stuck in their own ideas of duty. Kenpachi's whole thing went from "scary strong guy" to this sad search for a real challenge. It's wild how much more you pick up when you know how it all ends.

Right? It's crazy how the fights change when you know the characters better. I had the same thing happen with Ichigo vs. Grimmjow, it felt like pure rage at first but later you see it's all about their messed up pride. The animation is still cool, but the story behind it hits so much harder on a rewatch.
