They're finally hheeerrrrreee. The part with Pesche and Ishida arguing over the pun was stupid, but the episode still stayed pretty fateful to the manga.

I knew it was coming, and I knew they weren't going to show much, but still I was angry about such a cliffhanger.

Regardless, cool episode. Hopefully the pace will pick up as uh, others arrive...

Edit: Also Pesche whipping his "sword" out was quite humorous.

So how many times did Orihime say Kurosaki-kun this time around? Hearing her say it 15+ times really gets on my nerves.

But that's really the only thing I didn't like about the episode.

Animation was pretty brilliant, especially in the scene where Nel transforms and attacks Nnoitora, aswell as Pesche and Dondochakka's double Cero.

It was a decent episode if you consider it was just the main characters getting the crap kicked out of them. Thank goodness for Kenpachi. It's about time we get to see him wreck some shit.

lol I almost expected Inoue to 'snap' and reverse time or something silly, wonder who will show up to save Rukia & Sado from a beheading? and I guess the other group will need saving too?

Do you think this is a planned attack/rescue by Seireitei or are the captains working on their own with the help of Urahara?

F YEAH KENPACHI!! I Hope Madarame shows up too!

-edit-
Anyone know the song that plays in the background during the end?

The pacing has been better the last couple episodes, there was only about five minutes of padding at the front, and the animation was better.

My major complaint is with the violence, or lack there of. I was expecting tons of blood during the final scene, and not only was there none, but they cut away when Ichigo's arm was broken. Is this because of the new timeslot? I will be very dissapointed if the next few fights are treated the same way. I've been looking forward to having them animated for a while now, and for me a bloodless Kenpachi battle just doesn't seem right.

One question though, to the people that read the manga.
What happened to Nel?
Will she return to her adult form again or what is going on:s?
Put spoiler tag on though, regardless of what the answer is

^ I don't read the manga but from what I've seen it seems Nell just returns to kid-mode and forgets about what happoned. Or at least that's the impression Gin gave me..

Apollo was awsome 2. But nothing beats Kenpachi. Hope we get a nice long fight from him......

I'll admit to that. Unbelievable. You'd almost think she was going to epicly power up like Nel did when seeing Ichigo get his rear end handed to him, but nope.

You're kidding right? She's a centaur.

The moment we've all been waiting for is here. Go Ken! The manga was still kind of long in this, so I wasn't expectint too much, but it was nice when they further explained why the combined cero didn't work. Hopefully the pacing will go well, and the humour stays the same. But no more added filler. It's unnecessary.

so yeah I'm betting Byakuya kicks the living crap outa the guy about to kill Rukia regardless though next episode should be good though I'm not sure how the captains will be able to take the higher level espada when ichigo couldnt. afterall his hollow transformation thing gives him way more power than a captain right?

True, but it also drains him of his energy, and he can only keep it going for 11 seconds. A captain has that much more energy, and their attacks aren't temporary.

Even though I knew wat was going to happen from reading the manga, it still felt good and refreshing actually watching the anime....i kinda knew they were going to use zaraki as the cliff hanger once i saw all that extra crap they put in with pesche and inoue reciting ichigo's name(I aint going to write the k word coz it drove me nuts on end from hearing it ova and ova)

next week should be fun =D

it seems he can keep up his hollow mask for longer then 11secs, or was all those fights just 11 seconds long??

the cliffhanger is expected tho.. that's kinda how it ends in the manga chapter~
i wonder how long this next series of fights is going to last :)

yay, rukia is in the game again! it wouldn't surprise me if byakuya comes to her rescue...they may have an awkward relationship, but he is her brother (i think?) after all.

inoue annoyed the crap out of me in this ep...she must've said "kurosaki-kun" like a million times or something. i wish she would friggin' do something for a change, though i guess she's not meant to - she's one of those classic cheerleading characters who are supposed to stand at the side and cheer for/cry over the wins/setbacks of the hero.

This.

Well I think it's a bit sad Nel went be to chibi mode, there's so much more she could have done.
The Nel Fraccion part was Hilarious and surprising ... BUT of course Szayel already found out ways to deal with them 60 episodes ago. Bah

edit: Ow and GO KENPACHI !!

No, he keeps it for the whole fight while he fought Grimjow. Still, the Captains have one thing Ichigo doesn't, experience. Thanks to their experience their techniques are on the level of the Espada. Ichigo is not, by far, close to being the strongest Shinigami. He has the potential, but he still lacks the skills.

I sorta expected to see Senbonzakura's petals before they cutted out of the scene, just to set the mood. Most of all, the censoring is killing this show. It's no longer even the pacing. The pacing is actually getting slightly better, but the censoring is killing this. They almost killed Ichigo and he only bled in one shot !

crappy episode all around. I'm starting to hate when shounen anime break the fourth wall, because it always seems to happen in order to fill time. The lame comedy relief needs to stop, and this show needs to get down to business.

Mehhh.. While I thought this was a decent ep, it could've been a bit more fast-paced. But then again, that would've ruined Kenpachi's classy entrance to which the episode ended. ^_^

Overall a decent ep, although the lame comedy-relief ruins the whole thing, being annoying as fuck. Anyways, am looking forward to the next one.
