I personally found Rukia and the 8th Espada's fight pretty boring. Flashbacks and stuff.

Wow. It's been a while since I've seen some improved animation from Bleach. That, and the Ishida battle was pretty entertaining. And I'm still catching up on the manga, so that bit with Rukia at the end caught me by surprise. Best episode in the Hueco Mundo arc so far.

I liked the fight with Ishida, and hopefully they show Chad's fight soon. I thought Ichigo's battle was a little boring since we already knew that the opponent he was facing wasn't that great.

Ishida's fight is much better animated. I'd rather see that fight right now, but it looks like we're going to Rukia vs Aruru...something.

I'd say this room needs some tall stone pillars. No, more than that. MORE! I NEED MORE STONE PILLARS!! FILL THE ROOM!! WAHAHAHA. And thats how #110, the Builder Ex-Espada, was removed from the Espada.

Poor Rukia, she went directly against an Espada.

And.. Why do you guys keep calling Aroniero (or whatever his name was) Kaien? I don't think he's Kaien. His voice was constantly changing before Rukia arrived to the room, so I guess he's some kind of shape-shifter like Grand Fisher's bait or something.

Kaien was killed, which means that his soul should be on the living world as a new being.

Great episode! Not only Gin and Aizen got some screen time but Ishida's fight was animated very good and it was really entertaining ^^ And of course the new bishie Arruru <3 who will probably be killed but still ^^
I'll be nicer if you give me chocolate and bishies ^^

lol I was thinking the same thing, I guess Aizen was bored.

more entertaining episode than usual, with a cliffhanger ending. wonder what's up with the mask and voice changing. as usual chad gets to do nothing while renji is stuck with dondochakka DONCHA KNOW.

Well, the Anime needs to have bigger everything, DONCHA KNOW ! Teenagers need things to drool at.

Also, we call him Kaien because:
A) It is much easier to remember AND write.
B) He is in a sense.

Just wait until the Anime explains it in one of those long-winded flashback episodes. There's also a reason for the voice changing too, which also ties into the Kaien thing (it was a nice added touch to the Anime).

All in all, an episode I actually got into so much time flied by ! I still want to know why Ishida doesn't just use his shunpo-like ability along with his multiple arrow technique to just overwhelm her. He seems to take things slow. And I wanted to see Sado's fight too...we only got to see him breathless and struggling for half a second.

Yeah, but the Naruto manga is a hell of a lot better than Bleach's. Bleach's manga is awful at this point. Very DBZ esque.

Funny that it is both a triple post and one looking to pick a fight. I have to attest and admit the manga is getting a bit bleh. Heck, I actually think the Anime fillers were not that bad in comparison.

I really don't like the way things I headed. I honestly dislike watching 5 mins of say Chad fighting, then 5 mins of Rukia fighting, and then 5 minutes of Ishida fighing or whatever, and it goes on for like 5 episodes that way, that really annoys me. I hope its just 1 fight per episode or however long a fight needs.

well they kinda use a different order in the manga. So I don't know. I think we'll get the Rukia Fight first, with only a few small cuts to the other fights. At least that's what I hope. But I rather see them finishing Ishida's fight first.

They will have to eventually, considering Ishida has to butt in on some else's fight. But this arc is mainly fight after fight after fight in the Manga anyway. I actually think they did okay by adding some drama (in the form of Ashida) to it.

And rebornaraku...there's an edit message option and it's not there for decoration.

The anime skipped a lot of crap that was in the manga to get to the Rukia thing. Hopefully they'll go back to it.

I'm just saying that this episode was greater than the most recent Naruto episode.

I'm just comparing the two. The Naruto vs Bleach thing, where are you getting that idea?

I just watched the episode with the Kaien flashback, episode 49. Comparing the quality back then, I don't think this anime will ever recover back to its awesome quality.

That's not really that hard since the latest Naruto was laggy as shit. Bleach was bad, but more on the boring side of things, as opposed to being just trash.

There really isn't a point, you might as well compare it to DBZ or something that makes a lot more since than Naruto.
