Bleach 0
I don't know if any of you guys have managed to get ahold of the original Bleach manga "pilot", but it's really interesting. I recomend reading it.
I've uploaded a zipfile of "chapter 0", as I've seen it called, to mediafire and megaupload. If you want it uploaded elsewhere, just ask.

Interesting, isn't it? I mean, I definitely like the second version better (you know, the one where Orihime isn't dead). But that one definitely has some merit. Especially Orihime's relationship with Ichigo (or, rather, the promise it shows). I'm not sure I like how submissive (comparatively speaking, of course) Ichigo is to Rukia (pint-sized!Rukia is awesome!). But the relationship dynamics are interesting all the same. Again, I like the ones shown in what is, apparently, Bleach v. 2.0 better--although that could be because there's been more character development shown (obviously--v1 only has the one chapter, whereas v2 has, as of right now, 315 chapters).
