Good episode but it needed less of ichigo's friends, and moar of ichigo/tensa zangetsu/ hollow ichigo, and really another filler? -_- Just finish the arc and go full on fillers, would be better than shifting back and forth every 2-3 eps. At least then you know when its manga material and non manga material.

LOL @ Shinigami guide! There is no knowing where you wake up xD

On the other hand, great episode, I love how Ichigo's despair really changed his inner world, and how it reflects his need to save Karkura town.
Not enjoying the filler jump every few episodes though.

Liked it despite there not being a ton of action, adapted the manga chapters very well, and even made some of those sluggish ones a bit more interesting.

great

Its not him dragging the arc. Its Aizen. He is pretty much implied this episode to be waiting for Ichigo to come and is playing around with the lives of his friends as to invoke the usual "shonen hero rage".

What I like about it is that it continues the water vs moon motif Ichigo's inner world usually ha, not to mention that it perfectly visualizes Ichigo as of now, as described by Gin previous episode.

Ever since Shiro's UBW back in the novel and other reality marbles in various nasuverse works, I am sucker for inner worlds and their design representing their "owners" It brings obscurity and understanding at the same time into the story..

Ichigo's friends and human side of the story is important part and this helps to set up things in a long run.

AS fo rnxt episode - thats usual, its not just a "filler" its new years special episode. Its either that or one/two week hiatus.

Really enjoyed this episode, even more than the manga version. Awesome omake too.

I'm disappointed that there's a filler next episode, but at the rate they're going they're reallly close to the manga, so I guess it's okay.

OMG! The younger version of Zangetsu is cute! XD Love the omake!

Looks like it's a New Year Special for episode 303 and it's obvious they'll make another filler arc since it's getting pretty close to the manga right now.

I always liked Isshin and now I love him even more, also Tensa Zangetsu is unnnffff *_____*

It's unbelievable how similar father and son are, even their zanpakuto have similar names and they have the same technique. I wonder if the reason Isshin lost his powers was because of the final getsuga tensho.. hmm.. and I am so sick of Aizen, I can't wait til Ichigo starts handing him his ass... and eeww filler episode next week -____-

I'm really liking the anime right now, and enjoying the end of this arc way more then in the manga. 3 chapter episodes really bring out the best in Bleach, which they've been doing since the whole Aizen rapefest of the captains.

I just don't see their point in the story other then teaching ichigo a few life lessons but w/e that's just me. but a fillers a filler, no matter how you sugar coat it. They could of went to the end of this arc without going into a hiatus, the manga might not be as far ahead as naruto is but its got a little distance.

Surprisingly good episode! Espcially knowing that this anime hasn't been the brightest at executing dialogue. Very clean and neat animation flow this time around too, being a small bonus. As well as some faces! A big bonus getting to see Ichigo's hollow form again! I think he's awesome one way or another! Unfortunately, it looks like we're going to be getting a bit off course next week, with what looks like a filler. However, i've heard otherwise from some commentors. Let's hope for the best in any case! Looking forward to the next!

The human side is a great idea, but it was done in an annoying way. Seeing peoples reaction to these unworldly events puts some of the jaw-dropping abilities into perspective. I was hoping the man walking would blow up, but it took a much more tame approach, sad. Too much violence can ruin a show, but at that moment it just seemed right.

Just once, I'd like to see the chump character in extreme danger NOT get saved at the very last second... Saw that ending coming from a mile away just like everyone else, I'm sure.

GAHH, more filler... Honestly at this point I'd rather Bleach took a season off and came back with no filler and more intense episodes.

The omake was quite funny. I hope we don't have a season of fillers for winter 2011. Last filler season was just lame. I skipped almost half of them. (seriously who gives a shit about catgirl sword of Rangiku getting all romantic about some delinquent sword of a dead guy?)

Keigo is weird - whole town is asleep and he's running around panicking? Hello! Electricity doesn't work so banks and shops are a free-for-all-awake, there's no monitoring, everyone is out cold and not offering any resistance - wasn't he a pervert? Cookie for Tatsuki - good call with that punch!

Also, I had a sudden memory reboot when I saw Aizen in his white/purple outfit, see if you notice a little resemblance here:

lol i can't believe u noticed, there IS a smal resemblence to the outfit, but thanagain, i think its purely coincedental, since aizen already had those clothes, and they just needed to change it a lil bit.

as for the episode, i freaking loved it, i've already loved ihigo's bankai outfit, and now there's a hoodie version!!! YAY! tensa zangestsu looked very cool, and i can't believe highigo also came with his current new power! this is getting exciting (unlike naruto, where i'm just losing hope)
i also liked how they explained the concept of his inner world, having tall clear skyscrapers becuz he was having high hopes, and now it being small depressing town filled with water becuz of his depression.

also i loved the shinigmi skit thing afterwards, highigo has a valid point.
all in all, im satified wit this episode.
(damn i f---in talked alot)

What kept Ichigo from going to meet Tensa zangetsu 300 chapter ago?? By now, he'd own everyone he mets. Now he going through 3 months of training to achieve the final zangetsu. This ought to be fun!!
