| This episode was interesting but a couple of questions... 1. How does Ichigo and Rukia get in here when Rukia is on the verge of death and Ichigo has the other espada to deal with? 2. Why the hell is Renji going against Byakuya again?! |
   |
| My main complaint. Omg DB, learn to encode. What the fuck was that. Surely it wasn't a decent encode, I tell you what. Also, the episode wasn't bad... As long it doesn't degrade to Bount level filler... Oh, an interesting thing, Shunsui and Hitsugaya should exchange their Vice-captains... |

I believe this is kinda like an alternative story, they pretty much said it in the beginning of the episode that this arc had nothing to do with original story, maybe they just didn;t find a place to stick the fillers and they said, oh what the heck, and did that, and bleach just wouldn't be bleach with out ichigo so yeah...., and I'm sure that new captain is gonna have to die at the end, lol, I kinda like it tho, the characters from this arc look kinda cool, I mean, comparing them to those things in naruto, this is a master piece. |

To me, a filler arc that totally doesn't fit into the original storyline is not appealing. It's going to get me totally messed up. It doesn't even explain what happens in the time lapses. I was thinking that maybe this happened in the really short time between hitsugaya and co leaving and ichigo going to hueco mundo. And if so, i think that the 3rd div capt will probably die or else they got to come up with his bankai and everything and how he fits into the winter war. That means adding an extra opponent too. Which is who? |

Peralisc said: OP song sucks ass. How can they put that crap after having cool songs like Alones and After Dark -.- If you don´t like it, doesn´t mean it´s crap. |
| I really hope they don't decide to shove Ichigo and the others into this arc somehow. This arc as it is, with the revelation of new captains and more insight into Soul Society definitely has potential. They'll butcher the story if Ichigo and everyone else suddenly returns from Hueco Mundo ... and an alternate reality / story type of thing where Hueco Mundo hasn't happened yet would be even more lame. |

Yea.. if that happened it would be really lame. They built up this plot over the last months and they would just ruin it completely when ichigo + party were to be warped back to SS They probably can't pull it off. The whole thing of being warped to SS and going back to HM without ruining the original plot. |
| New opening was good. Wasn't to thrilled with the new Captain though. Very boring. The sake thing wasn't even funny. On the plus side, it was nice to see all the Captains again, and Matsumoto with her liquor is always funny. |

TanisChile said: what i really want to know if that captain is really the new captain of the 3rd squadron or if he is just a captain for the filler Well first off in the manga the seats where never filled. Anytime there's a captain matter, the vice captains have been doing the work. Second, from the looks of the OP it seems like their going to fill the empty seats with new captains and then find out the new captains where plotting something to take over SS and make room for their own "team". Of course most of the older captains wont know about this with will cause them to start fighting each other over misunderstandings. Mean wile some girl and her two body guards are roaming the living world where Ichigo and Rukia are wile the "new captains" and a weird guy with a slash on his face are trying to kill her...etc...etc So my guess is the new captin(s) that show up in this ark will become either become bad guys and lose or be good guys and sacrifice themselves in the end. Thus making them never show their faces in the show again again and making the captain spots open yet again just like it is in the manga, leaving us all with a disgusted expression on our faces like wtf did we just watch. |

I'm not sure if they are going to suddenly return or just making this entirely different to the original story but either way having Ichigo is going to ruin it. |
| looks promising than naruto's new filler... |
 |
| its not that bad for filler i think it was nice to see all the captains again and the other charcters and see the new ones.the op is looks good and sound great and the ed is sound awful tho it looks nice. it just me or it almost looked like other anime in part of this episode? |
 |
| It begins, it doesn't give as much as a hint about the main story of this arc... and then it takes a break til May 7th... I'm a bit disappointed. The opening was pretty cool though, but it made it clear that this filler is gonna be hella large. And I don't understand how this fits into the timeline either, looks like a story in a parallel universe. |

xmarxurmom said: Where did the story line go??? I mean it was here and then poof it's gone. And also I liked the last intro more than this new one. Also does the new 3rd seat remind anyone else of that one espada? Yea the 3rd seat reminds me of the number 8 espada, I was like 0_0 when I first saw him. |
 |
| I like the new opening ^____^ But I felt cheated with this episode as well, it seemed a tad to corny or something to me XD WinterNightsFall said: And is it just me, or does the 3rd seat that Amagai brought along look like Aporro Grantz I saw it right away, I kept questioning myself if it was him in desqise (yes I can't spell sorry XD) I know its problbly not, but he just looks so much like Aporro X3 |
| "The battle with the Arrancar rages on but we will pause before continuing that tale"... *Facepalm* The music was alright though. Fairly decent episode for a filler. |

Oh, an interesting thing, Shunsui and Hitsugaya should exchange their Vice-captains... 1) Not their fault you fail at getting the right codecs. 2) very interesting idea, they'd prolly both be a lot happier if they swapped but then there wouldn't be the comedic friction. You'd just have a really stuck up captain and his business-only assistant, and the captain and vice captain that're always drunk and never to be found cause they stay in their room and do you know what. Now then as for my thoughts, meh. I don't know what they're gonna do to explain ichigo etc back in the real world but I'm sure it's not going to be pretty. Only thing I can think of is that they're gonna continue with this idea that "this is a separate story" and make it like an ova or something. New opening and ending were both kinda meh but I don;t hate them, but I'll probably skip them. Also, did anyone other than me notice this? |

|
| I'm a little skeptical on the whole filler arc, mostly because the main storyline was just progressing, however, as long as they don't put Ichigo and Inoue and them in the filler arc, I will be satisfied. I just hope it isn't a long filler arc. :( |
| Well im just glad it was good animation and a good opening even the characters looked nice and original...maybe not Aporro #2... but even he was ok. The ending was weird and since when did orihime had a cellphone? ha I just hope they will have an interesting plot with good animation! |

Shiken said: 1) Not their fault you fail at getting the right codecs. h264 in .avi is an encoding crime. In the mean time, I'll stick with the other group. |

And it would make more sense if this is supposed to happen in the parallel universe, but at the same time would render it totally useless. |

| I made sad face when After Dark didn't play, but I enjoy new intros so I suppose I'll just get on listening to all of 'World World World' ;p Ah, I was upset at first but I suppose the insight into Soul Society, of course as mentioned. However the sudden introduction of this new Arc is a bit unsettling. I was so very excited. Still, they didn't completely ignore the rest of Arrancar Arc which is nice to know that we'll eventually be led back to Orihime and her doramas. I don't think they'll bring Ichigo back in, and yes, if this Arc is as long as the 'Bounto' one I might punch something in the face. :/ (Granted that one was actually alright) |
Blitzaga said: I thought he Amagai looked more like Urahara than Aizen.This filler arc was a bit sudden, but I thought it was okay. I thought in the beginning they were going to follow the negative chapters of the manga (well this contains spoilers so I won't continue). Anyway.. Amagai isn't such a bad captain, his character needs to stand out more though. Yeah, he looks like Aizen and that Kifune looks scarily like Aporro Grantz. And the next ep preview is.... weird. Why on earth is Rukia and Ichigo back in the real world!? Did this filler arc was supposed to happen before they went to Hueco Mondo? That's weird because it's like suddenly stuffing in something that doesn't seem fit to happen between the time period where Ichigo was involved with the Vaizard and when he went off to Hueco Mondo..... PS: I hate the new ED. It sounds like it's from some ancient pop track.. |
 |
| I like this episode very much and it resamble of some Bleach Movie O.o |
| Hmmm, not the worst filler i've ever seen, the new captain is interesting :) I don't like how this appears to not fit in anywhere though, because Ichigo and Rukia are still in Hueco Mundo and Rukia's dead... O_O how does that work?. New OP = good but I did like the last one as well New ED = fail. |
 |
| The ED sucks bigtime. That ska feel isn't working out. Overall it was better then anticipated though. |
| At least we had Gin at the end. |
 |
| the new captain quite powerful xD lols |
     |
dumbasatri said: meh, it was alright. still...i feel a bit cheated Just what I was thinking. It was funny when he was drunk kind of. |
 |
| new captain amagai is going to be fun... i noticed before but one of orihime's freinds in the ending credits look like sado, i think its just the hair though |
I love that theres a new opening!!^_^ |
| It was meh, but wtf with ichigo and rukia appearing next ep =S |
| "The weak get washed away by the tides of fate...The strong drink it up."-Godot |
| Argh, fillers! Meh, I don't really like the new opening theme |
 |
| Liking the new OP. But eh.. fillers. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Finally, Episode 168 aired english dubbed on Adult Swim! I have been waiting 8 fucking months to watch more Bleach, and my wait has finally paid off ^_^. Can't wait to see what happens next week :3. |

animefan82 said: I thought the new Captain being drunk/becoming drunk was the best part(only good part?) in this episode. Such a classic when an anime character can't hold his/her liquor. I liked that part too. xD |

| This is odd yes, but i think it'll be ok. I'm looking at it more as this is a story somewhere in bleach timeline and we're freezing the story on the arrancar. This new captain looks alright, i feel he won't last though. The 3rd seat definatly is going to rival Kira XD |
 |
| Not happy about another 20+ filler episode but I really like the new Captain... For some reason I always enjoy the beginning of new arcs no matter if they're filler or manga material.. |
