That was one hell of a long re-cap. They are really planning to drag this season out. ^_^

i really enjoyed this 5 minutes long commercial

where's the episode?


funny to see so many getting fooled by a commercial and started thinking it's an episode, just like the time when they tought fillers were enjoyable

Waste of an episode, but these are the only op and eds that I have liked from Bleach thusfar.

Personally I don't mind fillers, but a 16 minute long recap is quite anoying and not nescessary at all.

The only good point of this episode was the OP, that reveals an older Nel, so hopefully she won't be as anoying for long...




THAT IS SO AN OLDER VERSION OF NEL! thats what i thought when i first saw it anyway... and with a closer look it looks that way

This has pretty nice opening!

i loved this episode because there is new OP and ED and i loved them + the best fighting in the whole series was there (recap) + they finished the stupid filler and continue the las noches part
so 5/5

3 months of waiting for what? A 15 minute recap? They shoul make some hour special to payback us for that recap and 2 Bleachless weeks.

I didnt watch the fillers either. I think the massive break kind of broke the flow a bit.

Do you think we'l see 26 eps of manga story line and then we head back to fillers?

Nice new opening and ending!
Recap, I didn't find it all that troublesome, since I needed to be reminded of where we left it after 21 filler episodes... And also, I'm reading the manga, so I really didn't remember what had happened in the anime and what didn't yet...

I don't think that will be happening. They censored Yoruichi's sideboob when she busted out her flash outfit when she was fighting Soi Fon.

I did watch the whole re-cap...and MSTed it with my brother (then again I pretty much do that for everything I watch). One thing I have to say though...RENJI AND ISHIDA HAVE TO FIGHT THAT PINK HAIRD DUDE AGAIN OH HELL AND ZARQUON! Seriously I really didn't like their last fight with him, it seemed to go on for too long and seemed kinda boring. Ah well never mind...

I agree, I don't think it will happen. The first 15 minutes of recap wasn't so bad, but I'm glad they're back to canon material. Love both the OP and ED :)

decent renewal of the hueco mundo arc with new OP, ED and stuff. the recap was imho too long, 5 min would have been sufficient. When i listened to the first 5 seconds of the OP i would have expected more than another rap song. The ED is quite ok and the characters' pics are cool.

Your pessimism saddens me. There is always hope(the kind of hope that ignores the fact Bleach airs at like 7PM).

Besides, it's not like I was serious... We all know it won't happen, would be awesome if it did though.

When it comes to fillers, who knows? It kind of all 'pends on how fast we burn through the content laid ahead, and if the Pendulum arc is animated or not. If that arc isn't animated, we'll be seeing fillers very soon. If we're lucky, we'll have some more extra-fun-special shopping days with Matsumoto!

Back the Bleach I know and love. OP was good, other better ones before though. Ending blew me away, love it how it's all pictures but then they ruin it with that last picture at the end...it's like a "wha?" expression. Along with the recap it did feel like an episode though...they maybe went a tad far as to flash back during the quite long recap imo.

Probably not, I'm predicting a 5-10 minute recap for Renji and that guy who's name I never remember for some wierd freaking reason even though I've been watching this show and reading the manga forever, then the next week a 5-10 min recap for Rukia/Chad.

If you watch the funny part at the end you would have caught that Hanatoro isn't in till 197 and if you read the manga that should be enough to draw the same conclusion..

Finally back to HM. OP is nice but i don't like the ED that much.
It was a huge recap, should have been shorter. -_- Hope if they do more recaps in the next episodes, they won't be that long.
I'm so glad to see Grimmjow again.But watching him with this stupid Nnoitra is more painful than reading it in manga.

Bleach is baaaaack, everyone! =D No more filler arcs for now!
I love the new opening and the ending is not bad either

I know pretty much all the episode was a recap of the last one, but god, was it good or what? I know I could watch that fight with Grimmjow over and over again.
When he started moving again I was almost squealing and screaming for more of that awsome fight. Damn that Nnoitra bastard. Well I reckon his fight will be awsome, so I'm not really complaining xD
Btw I loved the detail of his ranking being written in his tongue.

Can't wait for the next episode!

WHAT. THE. FUCK.
that was what, 90% recap? why do they assume that everyone that watched bleach has short term memory loss? we wouldn't be watching the damned show up til the 190th episode if we didn't know what was going on.
this could have been a great come-back episode. instead, they spend three minutes introducing noitra and the gay scientist.
gah. bleach frustrates me.

liked the opening, hated the ending.

too much recap, they should have just dedicated the entire episode to recap as I recall them doing in One Piece before.

now that I've read the manga, I'm suddenly not so excited for Bleach anymore. on hold!

Meh, they could have done without the recap. Oh well, I'm most definitely looking forward to the next episode. Unless they have another 10 minutes of recap. -.-

I'm just glad that they're back in Huecco Mundo now.

In any case, the new OP and ED are very nice.

really, do they think they can get away with just randomly placing fillers in the middle of this arc? "oh, and by the way, this never happened, but once there was a tale of a princess..." yeah right, no thanks but NO thanks. anyway, glad to be back to what it should be.

New Opening Song is not so bad but not so good. Actually I don't know it's kinda weird and I maybe even like it >_>.

Argh, like 3/4ths of that was RECAP.

Still, pretty excited.

5'd just for the return of the Hueco Mundo Arc. well, ignoring the half episode recap, Nnoitra appears, Ichigo implies he thought Inoue was fat, and Ishida and Renji prepare to get their asses handed to them. all is back to normal :)

edit: oh, since i forgot to mention, another good op and ed. only thing bleach consistantly does well, really...

I believe that other than refreshing the memory of those who may have forgotten what happened before the filler episodes, the recap also plays the same role as the filler episodes.

It is to save some of the manga material for later. It's far too easy for the anime to catch up with the manga storyline. So much material can be covered in just a single anime episode.

If the anime gets too close to the manga, we may have to endure yet another filler arc. No one would want that, would they?
