It seems there is a lot of discussion going around about Naruto's new Sage Mode. I'm not reading the manga or anything, but looking online for information in depth of this "Sage Mode" that Naruto is supposed to learn from the toads is pretty interesting. In fact, you'll find a lot of pics with Naruto's new outfit that goes along with the Sage Mode, which apparently gives him a look similar to Jiraiya. Obviously the Manga fans of Naruto Shippuden have already seen this in action, but the ones that strictly watch the Anime series are getting psyched and more questions are being asked everywhere:
When does Naruto learn and use Sage Mode?
Is Naruto strong enough to defeat Pain and his Six Paths?
Well, Naruto is going to have to undego some "toad training" before any of that happens. But during the next episode, it looks like Akatsuki members are pursuing Kakashi's Konoha team. It looks like it'll take some time to answer those questions, as Naruto doesn't yet even know of what happened to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya's Going To... Ero-Sennin Will Die?!
I can't believe it, but ever since Tsunade had that "last talk" with Jiraiya before he left to find Pain, I got a feeling something was going to happen to him. After seeing the last two episodes of Naruto Shippuden, it's actually going to happen?! It looks like Jiraiya has lost an arm in battle against one of the six paths of Pain and is going to die during the next episode. I don't like bringing bad news upon myself and seeing spoilers, but after looking up Jiraiya's death on Google, I came across the truth!
That's the problem with Manga. It's too ahead of the actual Anime series being aired on television, which means spoilers are everywhere on the net. That's why I try to avoid online forums that have discussions about Manga in pretty much ANY on-going Anime series. But apart from all that, I think Jiraiya's death in Naruto Shippuden was messed up. Of course Asuma's death was unexpected and sad too, but at least Asuma wasn't one of those characters in the story that strongly influence the plot or the main character. Jiraiya, on the other hand, has gotten quite a bit of airtime by training with Naruto and such.
But who knows? If you take a look at some of the forums, you'll see something about Pain's revival of Konoha shinobi. I didn't bother reading up on that too much, because of spoilers. However, I recall some people talking about the possibility of Jiraiya's revival!

Kenpachi's Appearence in the Zanpakuto Arc?!?!
As the new Bleach episodes list has been updated, you will see an exciting surprise:
244.) "The Long Awaited...Kenpachi Appears!" [Man o jishite...Kenpachi toujou!] (満を持して…剣八登場！)Wow, so it's really going to happen! When the Zanpakuto Arc started off, there were some serious discussions everywhere in Bleach forums about what's going to happen. Many fans wanted to see the appearence of Kenpachi Zaraki, but implied that it wasn't possible. Despite the fact that Kenpachi's Zanpakuto has NOT yet been revealed, he is definitely going to get some airtime in the arc! This is something I've been wanting to see since the starting of this new filler. So I'm guessing since Muramasa is not Kenpachi's Zanpakuto, he'll just bust in with sheer power, as usually expected from him. I thought the filler started off strong, but got pretty boring after Tobiume and Haineko got their airtime. But since Zaraki's going to step in soon, it should get more interesting.

How To Increase Site Traffic
This is an article I recently wrote on how to increase your site traffic or unique hits, which is based on my perspective and experience:
There are many ways to generate incoming traffic to your website. These methods will vary from one webmaster to another, depending on their level of understanding and capacity to showcase their site. A lot of webmasters may think that the only way to increase unique hits to their website is with money alone, which is unfortunately a wrong assumption. Based on my understanding of how this system works, I will share my experiences on web promotion and essential ways to increase hits on your website.
The first step you should take into consideration is, without a doubt, submitting your site to multiple search engines. This will help for search engine robots to automatically index your website within the first few days prior to your submission. Submission to popular search engines is a must because, as a webmaster, you should know that the average person will perform searches through commonly used engines. These include services such as Google, Yahoo!, MSN, Bing, and much more. Even though this method is the most simple, you'd be surprized what the results would bring in the long run. Keep in mind that search engines are not the only way to go when it comes to the overall site submission process. Web directories are secondary aspects to submitting websites, as sites tend to fall under particular categories that help visitors narrow their searches down to.
The next step revolves around the use of relevant information that is showcased on your site. This may include all types of content that is displayed on your site from text, images, videos, and other files. Your design and uniqueness plays a big role when it comes to incoming visitors, especially the newcomers to your website. First impressions are usually important, as it may or may not convince the visitor to return to your site in the future. For example, a visitor bookmarking the page is obviously a good sign of your site's growth. Even if the content your site provides may be similar to others on the net, try you best to keep your ideas original and up-to-date.
If you've done your research online about ways to increase traffic to your site, you probably are aware of traffic exchange programs. I wouldn't recommend going forth with this idea unless you know the service you have signed up with actually does what it says. Many of these services will turn out to be scams with no gurantees whatsoever and are most likely small organizations that are trying to rip you off. In fact, I have heard that there are sites that have bots or software that change IPs everytime they enter sites, which makes webmasters think they are actually getting new visitors. In reality, they are being fooled by these automated bots.
Look closely at the HTML throughout the pages of your website. Is there anything in particular inside those tags? Inserting META tags inside this portion of your code will prove to be helpful in terms of pointing our your content to online search engines. It'll also direct visitors to getting your site if their keywords accurately match among them. However, I have heard that placing too many keywords inside the META tags is not a wise thing to do. The best way to go about doing this is limiting those keywords according to what is provided on your site. In other words, throwing random words here and there is only going to push your site back a few pages when search engines display results to visitors.
If you've formed affiliations with other websites that offer similar content to yours, that can also play a significant role in increasing hits. This brings up the idea of advertising for other companies in exchange for traffic, which I mentioned previously. Ask yourself the following question: What is the likelihood my visitors will come back to my site from the build-up of more and more ads? This is referring to the webmasters that are often driven to desperately consider in placing massive amounts of banner or pop-up ads on their site to either increase their unique hits or revenue. I'd rather prefer sticking with only displaying the content that I offer instead of advertisement everywhere, because I, myself, have found this to be annoying when coming across these type of things while surfing through websites. In the end, however, it is the webmaster's choice whether or not they wish to go through with this. If you do choose to place ads on your site, I recommend customizing those ads so that they are relevant to what your site offers. This way, there is a good chance that some of your audience will be kept interested.
In conclusion, all of these things shall come together in playing their parts to increasing hits for your site. Besides following these basic guidelines, the only thing that is left to do is to "update & wait". As time progresses, your hard work and addition of content on your site will give you the results you wish to see. If these techniques are used the right way, you will see results starting almost immediately. But in most cases, you will gradually see an increasing in visitors monthly.
Bleach Episode 240
Even after acknowledging the fact that the Zanpakuto Arc in Bleach is, yet, another filler, it's the best one so far in Bleach. There hasn't been another filler that's gotten everyone's attention as much as this and should you do a search online, you will find tons of discussion threads in Anime forums regarding this arc in particular.
So after watching Bleach episode 240, the question is "What is Byakuya up to?" And why exactly is he protecting Muramasa and telling Ichigo to fall back? If you ask me, it's a bit too wierd, because it seems as if Byakuya is acting like a Zanpakuto?! Aside from all this nonsense, I'm hoping to see some more action between the Zanpakuto and their owners. Most importantly, I want to see Shunsui Kyoraku and his Zanpakuto go head to head, since we hardly know anything about their Bankai.

Anime Extent's New Blog
Hello to all visitors and blog readers! This is my new blog; an addition to my website: Anime-Extent.Com Even though I have not yet planned out a thorough blueprint for what's exactly to be offered here, I believe this blog will be an important aspect of the site. Anime Extent is growing day by day, as the number of incoming visitors are increasing. This blog will not only cover Anime to its fullest, but it will have content from popular Anime series such as Bleach, One Piece, Naruto, Death Note, Samurai Champloo, Rurouni Kenshin, Cowboy Bebop, and many others!
In a few hours, Bleach Episode 140 (English Subbed) is to be up online! Supposedly, the title "Byakuya's Betrayal" sounds interesting enough to want to watch it. Anyway, the backlinks to the blog shall be up on Anime Extent soon shortly after it gets indexed and the content build-up increases a bit. I'm still experimenting with Blogger, its posts, and labels.
