This episode made Bleach drop a score.


I was considering to do that as well.

Well, this episode wasn't a complete disappointment. Nel's voice isn't that bad, and her first fight with Nnoitra was good enough, but the first half of the episode was terrible.

The episode was ok overall. First 12 minutes (?) or so were boring as fuck, as it was Ichigo mumbling about protecting Nel, and getting instantly beaten. Just boring drama. But yeah, it was pretty sweet after Nel had transformed, as that was the thing I was looking forward to from this episode. I didn't expect her voice to be childish at all though, rather the opposite. But I don't care, it's actually pretty good like that, thinking it now.

The plot is progressing, but there's just too much filler content in each episode, thus waiting a week for 10 mins of action is agonizing. ;_;

Looks like next week will be Renji/Ishida fighting the other espada, so I'm not really expecting to see it, as that fight is pretty boring. Hopefully it'll get back to Ichigo, Nel and Inoue soon. And well, episodes should move at a faster pace. -.-

2½/5 for the episode of the week, IchigoxNel would be interesting. ;D

HER VOICE STAYS THE SAME!? What the fuck

exactly my thoughts WTF! at least a bit different but no! actually the kid form seems better now... arg!

i guess it will take time to get used to it -.-

Anyone ever seen John Goodman in "King Ralph"? That's how I felt about this episode. Hot chick with a voice that doesn't match her body. I too was expecting a new voice. You know, something that wasn't nails on a chalkboard. The moment she spoke I could no longer take the episode seriously, and just lost all interest. I didn't even care about the fight scene, which wasn't even all that impressive. I'd read the manga, and thought it'd have been more epic feeling, but it wasn't. And her "popping" when she transformed...wtf? I was expecting a little more than that.

No more backflashes. They're annoying because they choose the annoying scenes.

I've lowered my score on Bleach. It's lost it's epicness.

That voice... I see everyone is complaining, but I think it serves it's porpouse... to suprise the watcher... you know...
Whoa, now here comes a sexy voice, but no... and that's just the best...
And I think the voice is changed a bit, but it isn't that noticeable... but well, it can be only me imaging things ^^

No kidding surprise. I was definitely caught off guard by that. One Piece's Chopper doesn't change his voice from time-to-time, but the voice fits for all forms though. Nel's, well, it doesn't. I agree with Soulstrider. Her voice creeps me out.

I actually like the fact that they kept Nel's voice the same, even though it seems a bit higher-pitched as an adult, why should all the women sound the same? Like some others have pointed out, my big concerns are that the pacing is terrible, the violence is toned down and the animation hasn't improved much from the filler. This episode was better, but not good enough. Seriously, Bleach is getting to be worse than Naruto at this rate.

As most have said, the voice was a real WTF moment for me.

Thinking about it, though, it works perfectly. It doesn't suit her at all, but the comedic value and also the fact that it does suit her at some moments makes up for it.

Also, I expect that it will drop in pitch a bit as we get a bit further along, but we'll see.

I've been waiting for this for ages as well, glad for it to finally happen. I'm still gonna keep watching Bleach, even if half of it is filler now...

At least it means there's less chance of another filler arc!
Though maybe that would be for the best... In fact, I think they should just take a break from broadcasting Bleach for a year or so (no filler arc either), keep making QUALITY episodes in the gap, and then continue airing again when the manga is further ahead/finished.

Bleach's success is also its downfall =P

like just about everyone else i immensely dislike the voice of the new Nel (not to mention the first half of the episode) but after that it got real good. i like to think that number on her back is much closer to reality than her opponent would prefer :D

I was totally blind-sided by Neliel's voice. I expected them to give her a more mature "proud" voice. And I don't think they could have made her boobs any bigger...lol. Hopefully Bleach will get a back to it's usual pace, it is starting to waste almost as much time as Naruto.

Her voice was a huge disappointment. Every time they showed her face, all I could think about was how it didn't match up.

However, with that said, now that they made Nel get serious, what I really want to see? Yachiru getting serious. A full episode on her just finally letting loose would be the ultimate win. :]

You know, I wasnt liking Nel's voice until you said that. That does make a lot of sense; I was expecting her voice to become somewhat like Yoruichis from what I read, but i gues its better this way.

Episode was way too SLLLOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW as usual. cant expect much more from the manga; they could've done all that in under 5 minutes

This ep was okay at best. To sum it up:

Ichigo fights bad guy.
Bad guy slaps Ichigo around.
Cue Inuoe yelling "Ichigo!".
Cue Nel weeping.

This repeat about 10 mins. Then there's some kind of super saiyan, some boobs appeared and you got to see the new sexy Nel swallow. No, not in that way, you pervert. Also, Nel has the same voice as my squeaky toy.

Yeah it does make her unique. Great episode I love how Nel is such a bad ass now also wow she used to be number three... I don't like the what's that guy's face fighting her he acts like he's all the powerful when he cracked open her head when he was at the back of her a long time ago. -_-

i was wondering what nel's voice would sound like, i'm okay with it though it's funnier that way she's more helpful in her child form that orihime is
...pesche thought ishida heard him fart!
p.s. poor bya-kun, yachiru didn't want his candy
yachiru and nel would get along well...

F***ING EPIC!!

Nel is way HAWTER in the anime than in the manga!

Her dub voice is absolutely perfect as well, they kept the same VA, but had her mature her voice just a little! WIN!

Looks like it's gonna be just like the manga, they are gonna go back to the Renji and Uryu fight.

Urahara Out!!

She's the former 3rd Espada? Hell yes. Please continue to smack around that fool Nnoitra and look hot while doing it. ^^

Oh yeah, Orihime is in a pinch now, another rival appears!

Whoah, Nel is definitely one of the sexiest anime female characters ever. But I hate how much time was spent on Nnoitora beating Ichigo over and over again.
