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.

Why didn't they end it here, dammit.

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.

The farewell part was tough to watch.

Another bittersweet aftermath episode. I really enjoyed the ice skating part, light hearted Bleach and the character intercations are surely amusing.

And while I'm pretty sure that Ichigo will regain his powers, I still ended up getting sad over this development, simply because it had that definite feel to it.

Man that ending really tugged at the heart strings. You know what's a funny thought though? Even after Ichigo couldn't see her, she is still just standing there isn't she? So she heard him say Thank you and be all gushy

Also, man the ending credits really delivered on Ichiruki moments. Very emotional

A tribute to Rukia, with the best Ending between her and Ichigo. Sad episode. I'm team Rukia all day.

Kubo wrote such an empowering character in the sense that she works hard and displays class and skill without verbally reminding the audience or her friends about it. What makes it better, is how natural she is at it. Exceptional.

Feel like the animation improved a lot, well we are almost at the last stage so it should be to.

Again was tough to watch Ichigo struggling without his Soul reaper powers, i just want him to gain them back quickly.

Great episode. Good way of seamlessly blending filler and canon content.

I like Orihime a bit more than I did when I first watched Bleach a long time ago.

But I've always been a RukiaxIchigo fan.
That still hasn't changed, Orihime and Ichigo never came close to the type of relationship that Rukia and Ichigo shared. We know Orihime likes Ichigo but she's always been just a friend, part of the group with Chad and Ishida. Ichigo never really treated her different from anyone else, unlike how he treats Rukia.
I do like Orihime though, and if she ends up with Ichigo in the end, I'd accept that though it would've been nice to see some developments, to help them get closer.

Beautiful bittersweet ending.

Yeah of course I skipped them fillers. Anyways apparently Ichigo is now losing his powers. Well, considering that there are 20 episodes left and a whole new season, he's probably gonna come back one way or another

I felt the same way. Ichigo cares for all of his friends, but the interaction between Rukia and Ichigo definitely feels different. I definitely feel like it's one-sided for Orihime so far.
