bleach is one of the best animes I have ever seen, I believe it is better than fullmetal alchemist

My opponent is incorrect on the conditions of "running away", as the fight with Syzayel is not a fight where anyone runs away. The fact of the matter is that it just drags on and on. Uryuu/Renji will make a good move in one chapter, and Syzayel will come back telling how he had planned for such a move in advance. And that basically just rinses and repeats for a tedious amount of time. Sure, there are some intervals during this battle, but then there are intervals during the Frieza fight as well. As for the Ichigo and Byakuya fight, my opponent is wrong. Ichigo's fight against Kenpachi took 3 episodes to complete. The same applies for Ichigo and Byakuya's duel. If she is referring to how much animation concerns the actual fighting in the episodes, then he shouldn't have a problem with DBZ seeing as how the actual fighting was brief whereas the flashbacks, bragging about whose power level was higher, powering up, and staring at each other was what most of the Frieza episodes mostly boiled down to. My opponent cites the Full Metal Alchemist manga, but since he is discussing animes here (which, unlike Bleach, the FMA manga and anime are two completely different stories), his comments on the FMA manga must be dismissed. These comments include what he states about Scar partnering up with a little girl (manga only) as well as Armstrong and Hawkeye requiring help (actually, even if when were discussing the FMA manga, this would be a faulty comparison as both Armstrong and Hawkeye have shown that they are more than capable of taking care of themselves without the assistance of Al or Ed). As for Ichigo, I never suggested that he doesn't get defeated. He gets defeated multiple times throughout the series (no more than Goku). My point was that he is far too powerful in comparison to his allies. It is shown that his allies are pretty useless in that they end up losing most of their fights. In fact, during the Soul Society Arc, Ichigo managed to save Rukia with no thanks to the efforts of his allies (who were all captured do to their defeats). The same thing happens in the Hueco Mundo arc. Ishida, Renji, Rukia, and Sado all end up at the mercy of the main enemies whereas Ichigo rescues Orihime single handedly. Sure, Ichigo comes close to death a few times in both arcs, but he manages to make up for it in both by being the ultimate victor who doesn't need the help of his friends. My opponent refers to Ichigo's allies as regular humans, but this is not the case as two of his allies are soul reapers, one of them is a quincy, and the other two are humans who are said to have unusual spiritual powers. My opponent suggest that Chad/Sado becomes useful in the Hueco Mundo arc, but is highly misleading as Sado only manages to defeat low level enemies which his upgrades. He faces the 5th member of the Espada and loses instantly. My opponent suggest that Orihime could kill Ichigo if she wanted to, but she has yet to show herself capable of doing anything more than healing wounds and reviving the dead. Besides, I was referring to her appearance in the Soul Society arc, as she just plays the role of a prisoner in the arc my opponent is talking about. My opponent states that Bleach does its job in providing action. I would agree with this, but that's not the matter of contention. It is the job of Bleach to provide action and story. I've already shown problems with the story and I've shown the problems with the action that relate to the problems which my opponent disliked Dragon Ball Z because. As for Full Metal Alchemist, my opponent has failed to point out a single valid problem concerning the story. As for the action, as already suggested, Full Metal Alchemist main focus is not action, but story. And with that said, I now stand ready for my opponent's final rebuttal. Thank you.
