lol. Lolis ftw. xP

Looks like Grimmjow is going to get Orihime to heal Ichigo so he can fight him. :|

And maybe espada #8 is going to get wtf pwnd by Renji and Ishida... maybe. xD

Felli disapproves of this thread.

I just noticed the first 5 minutes is opening and recap, so rediculous plus all the stuff at the end. I wish they'd just take out the recap.

okay episode. the fight didn't advance much, only interesting thing was grimmjow really.

I know! It is so ridiculous... maybe a brief recap of the ending of the previous episode, but that is it. These recent episodes seem to be way too short, I"m thinking of maybe not watching for a while and then watching a bunch at once.

According to the site, it's going to take place some time in April. A new arc that will happen in Soul Society featuring an anime-original character taking over the spot Ichimaru Gin has left vacant. The name of the character is Amagai Shuusuke. The other character is the new 3rd seat.

Grimmjow crushed her leg.

They didn't show this in anime. Also, in manga HE destroyed the doors. In this version he slams through the wall, but the doors previously "opened" by those two was... nearby. It looks pretty dumb.

Which is actually annoying because I was really itching for some good violence from Grimmjow. XD

I'm really glad I started to read the manga, because the anime is going downhill fast, just like Naruto, but worst I don't like this filler made up stuff in between a main arc *sigh*

Orihime using Sotten Kisshun to Loly was majorly utterly useless when she was barely hurt. I am not sure if the animators are just really cutting screen/frame time or they are doing discretion for viewers under 16.

I was anticipating the violence with Grimmy! Dammit. :( And at this point those huge recaps are necessary since they don't want to jump too far ahead. Even though fillers are coming back I don't see why they still need them.

Yeah btw Orihime shouldn't have healed those bitches I sure as hell wouldn't lol.

Yeah, Orihime turns out to be quite the Baka(mon, lol), even after all that Ulquiorra "tought" her... She really needs to pay attention to these kind of stuff, maybe he should write on a wall: "Healing enemies = bad", "revenge = good", and most importantly, "Espada are not humans"...)

Fancy way of talking about filler characters... like the three mud-sould that just don't go away aren't enough...

The door part was tragi-comic now that I think about it, when I was watching, I was kinda surprised of the two holes one next to another... and the lines were hilarious too:
"Where did you come from?" (me: LOL?)
"Through the door" (me: DUUH!)
"Don't be a smart-ass" (lol wut? He was just being honest xD)
I have to say again, what orihime did was the most STUPID thing I ever saw... If I were her, I'd ask GrimJaw to finish the job :P

Even though, the amount of contents on this episode wasn't that different from the previous ones, I felt it was horribly slow. I don't know, I feel the battle versus Szayel Aporro is getting prolonged horribly (like all the time they spent fighting against his fraccion).

Heh, I didn't notice that there was no advert break this time.

Also... regarding the fillers with a new captain, I already hate the idea. Couldn't they have thought of something else? I hope they kill him at the end of the fillers, otherwise, I feel the Anime is going to stray a bit from the Manga. As if having the three annoying mod souls was not enough.

Wow ... just wow. Why would they do something like that T.T. It looked so stupid when Grimjoww walks makes a hole in the wall to get in when the door was already blown open 2 meters away...

Decent episode ... but I agree that the 5 mins lost to the intro + recap is getting ridiculous.

I don't understand why everyone is getting on Orihime for healing Loly and Menoly... Just leaving them to die seems way out of character for her, at least at this stage; although I somehow doubt that she'll ever have a major development.

Still, agreed that the recap was way too long.

Well hey, it wouldn't be so bad if they actually had 'breaks' instead of nonstopanime, might actually encourge people to read the manga during the breaks, and allow for more profit, but maybe not, anyways...

How the hell are they gonna pull that one, for those who are reading the manga, you know that

Man this ep was obnoxious. The way they dragged things out was painful. I really just want Szayel to die already, I have absolutely no interest in him or watching Renji and Ishida fight him. So boooring.



This part had me rollin though:

ROFL there's a fucking open door right there, but nooo, Grimm's gotta make his own entrance.


Too bad the scene where he was beating them up wasn't as violent as it was in the manga. :(

They can't!!! They should at least finish the hueco mundo arc first!!! And will the new 3rd div captain be introduced in the manga or anime? And is that his vice-capt?

Damn, I wanted Grimjow to pwn those two female Arrancars even more =/


Yeah. His scene was too short. I'd rather the syazel scenes got cut instead.

Love the shinigamizukan!

That can't be his Vice Captain, he's a 3rd seat. Besides, Kira is still the current Vice Captain.

Also, we need more Soifon screen time! D=

I know. But I still think it's a horrible idea. Adding minor unimportant characters is one thing. But adding a captain.. that's just wrong. Even though it's going downhill, Bleach is my favorite Anime at the moment. But I feel that after this filler arc, I'll simply stop watching it. Let's see what happens.

Well maybe they are going to introduce this guy as the new third div capt in tha manga as well. I just find it weird that he's a total unknown. Does he even have bankai then? And why replace the thrid-div vice capt...so sad for Kira.
