Well, psychotic effects FTL, that made me laugh a good bit..., it was nice to finally know about the new guy's background, hopefully it will continue to be good and finish this next episode and possibly the next, pity there's no next ep preview

"By the way, my mask is broken a little, too. Right here." *Ooh!!! Wow!!!* - I lol'd that :D

Now I wish they had shown more of Ichigo fighting Menos but guess it wasn't bad this way too. 3/5

For a filler guy, Ashido sure is hot. *squees* He kinda reminds me of Kaien somewhat. His background was pretty great as well. I hope he survives post-filler.

This was actually a great episode. I'm surprised that it's even a filler. The filler character's face(Aishido) looked familiar. Like Renji or from some other anime.

hmm for a filler this was pretty good. It has at least something to do with the main story line and the characters are pretty ok.

But yeah I'm getting a bit too tired of them since every long-running anime seems to need so much of them.

Decent enough filler that help explain (well to me) what Ajuchas(sp) were and there type of power. A nice return of the Menos Grande that have been absent for ages before the series is filled with Vasto Lorde Arrancors again.

The ending was predictable..did not like that...and I didn't really like the background story either. Around eight people over powered and he solely survives because a cero blocking mask...I might just be in a bad mood. Ok episode I guess, they went into his background even though it seems they want to kill him off, and there was some fighting.

I think it was a really good ep for a filler. I mean, we even got a flashback of Aizen taking the hougyoku out of Rukia! ^_^ YESH! PLOT~~
Ashido is a very likeable character too x3 Plus his past was kinda interesting. Rukia is great as usual<3
Oh and the Nell-Pesh-Dondochaka group is some awesome comedy relief, lol XD

I actually liked it. It don't know anything about it being a filler, but I enjoyed it. Furthermore Ashido is very hot. He kinda reminds me of Byakuya; you know with his quiet mannerisms and politeness? It's like he doesn't have to show off to prove how strong he is. I like that. I hope he makes it back to Soul Society with Ichigo, Rukia and the others.

I'm already happy with Yuzu, the series doesn't need any other females. Yuzu needs a lot more screen time, perhaps a slice of life spin off anime...

I think this guy brought up the best point. While they have briefly explained the 3 classes of menos, (as far as I can remember) there had yet to be an Adjuchas (sp?) shown even in the manga, they jumped straight to the vasto lordes, so in a way i really like what they did with this arc. I'd prefer if it wasn't in the way of them getting to las noches, but thinking about it i don't really see how else they could have introduced adjuchas, since there'd be no point in sending them to the real world. This arc is very very long, and if this doesn't wrap up within the next episode or two, well, it'll suck. But we all know we'll still watch it. Also, any episode that has Nell is awesome. That's what got this episode a 4 instead of a 3. God I just can't figure out what they want Rukia to be in this anime. Despite everything that happens, she isn't technically weak, her zanpakuto has great attacks, and imo is superior to short shit's ice zanpakuto, and doesn't even have a bankai yet. Yet, she seems extremely vulnerable to surprise attacks, loose rocks, tripping over her damn self, and in general making poor judgment during fights. Meh.

I hate that also, if you just know the manga, Rukia is not a klutz, she is actually very good, but the show her so weak in the anime so they have a girl to rescue!!! :(

You've brought up good points, while I've been distracted by Ashido (can't help it, he's hot! *blushes*).

Re: Rukia -- I agree, they've handled her character a bit badly. Seriously, the damsel-in-distress act is getting old already. Come on, Rukia has several shikai/kidou attacks and has probably become stronger before entering Hueco Mundo (she trained for a while, right?). >.<

Hmm... maybe this series of episodes are not-so-filler. I've read somewhere that Kubo Tite did the character designs for Ashido himself (see here) and had the concept for Menos Forest too. It's in Bleach Volume 29 apparently (haven't seen or read it yet).

Yeah Rukia trained with Inoue for a while. But yeah dont take it all so bad. I mean they actually integrated a fitting filler in a story. It would be logical to face that kind of things in non-earthly words.

Oh and i didn't really think that Rukia was that weak in this filler, more that Ashido was pretty strong. But yeah as i said before; this filler is for the girls, and theres a few good jokes in it so I'm not complaining (yet).

I wasnt into this filler mini-arc since the lat ep. but from where that guy was telling his story - to the end of the episode, it became more interesting. cant wait for the next ep. hope he survives and that this mini-arc will be over.

Personally, I thought the new guy looked like Aizen with red hair. I was glad they didn't somehow add in: "Oh, btw, I'm Aizen's son" and force the entire Bleach Audience to sweat-drop. XD

Ahem, anyway, this scene was by far the best:

good ending :) I'm not bothered about Ashido because he's not been in long enough to appreciate his presence... he's just a silent bloke with a mask who all the girls like.

Hopefully the story will advance some more soon. But for now I am enjoying this random violence :)

I'm liking this filler! ( Well i'd love the story line to progress as well but this is the time of filler that fits and i enjoy watching.)

I agree with people on the Rukia problem, originally she was portrayed as a strong independent character but she does get beat up quite easily a lot of the time.

One of the better episodes, if not the best one.. Ashido doesn't deserve to be a filler character. He's one of the most memorable guys out there if you ask me..

I feel like Nel isn't as weak as she seems, so I'm just waiting until she fights and her hidden powers are revealed, hehe xP

Also, idk why, but I really like Bawabawa, haha. He kind of resembles a puppy. It's kind of cute, actually -^.^-

This was one of the most interesting episodes ive seen in bleach with a focus on world development with the heuco mundo world area and the hollows. I really liked the mysterious ashido.

I was quite surprised to find out that this episode and the ones that follow were in fact filler. I mean im just kind of sad a little, this is great story development and it ends up being filler, hell the canon story is just straightforward fights. This actually a degree of dynamic story telling to it. No wonder the character Ashido is never shown again. Such a shame.

vi esta semana dublado em português. Watching in the week dubbed in portuguese.
I watched in subbed in 8 years a go,but dubbed also good.
Liked to know more about past of Ashido and see your face.
that's is good filler probably during 3 episodes.
I don't like zanpakutou the ashido doesn't have a name.

Didn't realize this was a filler, I thought it was a pretty good episode. Another interesting character introduced in the way of Ashido. He's got a sad backstory, and I wonder if he plans on going with Rukia to help rescue Orihime (especially now that he knows the number of Hollows appearing in the human world hasn't decreased).

And yeah, I'm in favor of them making Ashido hot for us to drool over. I feel like it's only fair since the guys get to drool over Rangiku's boobs every other episode...
