THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This was partly filler but it just fitted right and this just had the best art of the entire anime story of Bleach, also great fan service for IchigoxRukia lovers xD

lol for omake.
Apologies, I just can't avoid to rant.

Woah that was done pretty dam well, looks like they finally got a good budget..i hope..great animation and lots of IchiRuki moments, wasn't as emotional as the manga but still was very good.

Loved every minute of this episode. Reminded me of why I enjoy Bleach in the first place: Ichigo and Rukia. 5/5

On a sidenote, if those two don't somehow end up together by the end of this series, I'm going to consider my time with it mostly wasted. So, fingers crossed ;)

Great episode to end this epic and legendary saga. Looking forward to next episode/arc. I sure hope Orihime will stop being dead weight. She deserves some real power if that makes sense.

Honestly... It's so obvious that the animators ship IchiRuki, and afaik Kubo leans that way, too. I love their bond, but I don't ever want it to become a romance. XP

As for the episode itself, aside from the heavyhanded shipping, the animation was gorgeous. Somehow, though... the end just didn't have the emotional impact I was expecting it to. *frown* Maybe 'cause I've known it was coming for all of the filler, and I had time to get used to the idea? I don't know. But that made me a bit depressed, because I was expecting to need my kleenex box.

Anyone else notice the whole thing with Keigo mentioning the new amusement part as a great date spot, then with barely a pause saying that he went there with Chad? Who apparently "had fun." O.o;

I lol'd at that part and was expecting everyone else going all 'wtf o.o' XD

Anyways, all IchiRuki moments made this episode for me :3 and I did shed a tear at their goodbye T^T

I've dropped watching Bleach at episode 314, you know when all these fillers began. I continued reading manga...I just got used to the world of Bleach. I knew it was rather stupid and illogic, but still I loved many characters from it.
Ant then I've heard that fillers were over. You know...I nearly cried while I was watching this ep. It was so sweet and full of nostalgia. Speaking about that IchiRuki part..I always liked it ^^
The only thing I wanted to say after watching this episode was "Wow, my old stupid Bleach has returned!!"

Hi guys, I have stopped watching Bleach at the episode 311 (the beginning with the fillers)
Does the story start back at the episode 342 or 343 ?
Thanks in advance.

The animation quality seems to have stepped up a few levels, since the last episodes.
There were very beautifull scenes along the way.

I'm far from being a Bleach fan, but I enjoyed this episode quite a bit. The last part was so beautifully bittersweet. I loved the piece that played during Ichigo and Rukia's farewell; I'd really love to know its name.
I think this would've been a perfect moment to end the series, but oh well...

LOL at the omake xD

Yeah, I love Ichiruki but NOT ROMANTICALLY. I like them just as best friends. I think Rukia match better with Renji, and Ichigo with Orihime.
Good episode by the way.

Good god, Dat Animation. It's like they pulled out the S-rank team for this and the previous one (incredible animated fight scenes). I've only decided to watch the last few fillers to see how they tied up into the main canon episodes and I'm blown away with how good Bleach can look when they're actually trying.

This episode was also a very nostalgic episode, love or hate it the whole "Bleach has been here for 10 years" really hits home with this episode. Almost teared up a little when Rukia and Ichigo was walking home together remembering old times.

Even though I don't care much for Ichigo x Rukia pairing deal they executed Rukia's "final farewell" really well. Also lol@Chad x Keigo.

As someone who had a bit of a falling out with Bleach in the way-overly-long Hueco Mundo arc, I loved every second of this episode. It was a shining example on how to do filler; make it organic and serve some kind of purpose.

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. This reminded me why I liked the series to begin with. There was depth again. I stuck it out through the last filler arc, even though I was very tempted to drop it. This made it worthwhile.

It was nice to have extra character development and a story of consequence. The filler actually had the audacity to explain how Ichigo got his pass back during an omake.

IchigoxRukia moments were cute, even though I am secretly hoping for the IchigoxOrihime.

The shows version of their goodbye didnt have as big of an impact as the manga did but I didnt enjoy it. I stopped watching a while ago but ended up picking it back up once I heard the show was ending.

This last ep (where everything should have ended) was actually worth the watch. I love how Rukia nd Ichigo interact with each other (one of the best things about this show). I still prefer Orihime x Ichigo though. Plus Rukia has Renji.

This reminded me so much of the first episode for some reason. xD
The animation at the end was amazing and actually a really emotional scene, more so than I thought it would be.
I have a feeling though that the break from the anime should have been here.

There was a sensational feel throughout the entire episode. This episode was perfect in every way. The art, the OST's, IchiRuki, the friends, the skating, the fireworks, the "secret" mission of Rukia, and the FAREWELL; oh man, I nearly cried there. The ED couldn't of been any more befitting. If Bleach ended here, I would probably go insane from the bittersweetness. I want Ichigo and Rukia to get together, they have too!

Oh yeah, how can I forget Rukia's Scarf. ^^ I fell in love with her all over again. ^^

This episode makes me glad I decided to watch Bleach. It makes all those years feel worthwhile and irreplaceable. We really grew up with these characters and there are a lot more adventures ahead of us!

I feel like they should have ended the anime here, its a perfect spot for it.

This episode wasn't to bad, but honestly I think it was a poor effort.
I mean, they could have done so much better...

What I think they should have done is:
- They all should have been in soul society.
- They should have held a ceremony for Itchigo, have the head captain say thanks and give him back his pass (as he does need it for the next season)
- He should have gotten to say good bye to everyone... not just Rukia *sigh*
- Finally, the last person he should have said goodbye to and then watch fade away, should have been Zangetsu himself.

There is just one thing I don't get :P they are all like: "CRY we can never see eachother again!!" right?" couldn't Rukia just put on a gigai and come visit??? or did they just disappear in a pop of smoke??? :P plus EVERYONE else still have their powers. Well all in all I just find it weird.

Decided to watch last episode of filler arc because I'm too lazy to watch every filler ep and I'm glad. It was really good and emotional, made me ship IchiRuki for a few minutes even though IchiHime is my OTP.

And Ichigo and Rukia's bond is the best. Since the beginning they've been quite close. And that farewell was great. Animation too.

That was such a sweet episode, loved when they all went ice skating.

It was cute seeing Ichigo and Rukia skate and I'm not a fan of that pairing normally lol. I prefer him with Orihime really.

Keigo was funny skaing and the fireworks were nice from the new theme park that he and Chad went to LOL!

I'm glad they included the bit from the manga about him losing his powers and saying goodbye to Rukia, that was so heartbreaking in the manga and anime.

The feels indeed.

By the way, the anime only covers the first 479 chapters of the manga, so if you want to see how everything works out, you'll need to read the manga.

I wish the sound wasn't off in this episode, it was a great one, and the Goodbye at the end definitely hurt. You really can't help but feel the plausible romantic attraction between the two, but you also can't help but think it was never meant in that way. I wonder what will happen in the next and last animated arc.
