bleh, the animation quality and pacing really isn't comparable to Bleach in the old days ... totally ruins the epicness of these fights. and Kenpachi's fight is made out to be an annoyance rather than something to get excited about considering how they keep jumping up and down on it instead of just focusing on each fight separately ... Really, they've been exchanging small blows for like 5 episodes now, saying the same things over and over.. a fight has to have sustenance to make it interesting, not lengthy repetition.

Just rewatching old Bleach eps reminded me of this: none of the fights really contained much swordplay / were drawn out due to pointless sword exchanges, instead something new was always happening .. I was really looking forward to this arc when I read the manga months ago but now .. I'm sad to say Bleach is no longer my favorite anime.

So, if Nnoitra has half a head, he has half a brain too, right?

Two reasons for giving this ep. 5/5
1. kenpachi's whatshername licking her lips, and
2. Kenpachi's smile in the end of the ep

Somehow Bleach was more fun to me when I could watch several episodes a day, not once a week. The pace of the show is slow. Perhaps I should start One Piece - there is a long way for me to catch up ^___^
Truth. The epic slowness of Bleach and stupid fillers from Naruto made me turn to One Piece. I'm almost half way through that and gonna catch up in no time with all this marathoning I'm doing. Thanks a lot winter break.

This episode is more the same. AGAIN. Like everyone says, the highlight of the show was the revival of Nemu. Mayuri pulled a Chobits. (I wonder if anyone will get that)

Good episode.
These recap parts are getting ridiculous.
The Nemu rival part had me laughing.
Ishida blushing is too priceless.
Kenpachi is the man! I wish they would just let us see him fight though, instead of teasing us then going to another fight. *crosses fingers for next week*

Im considering dropping it now.
I've had enough of these slow moving episodes.
There is SO much fucking manga content ahead of the series where it it currently at.
I'm completely sick of this.

If it doesn't change within 3 episodes it will be the 2nd series I've ever dropped.
Naruto is moving faster than this shit.

Why dont you just 'give it a break' instead of a permanent drop? Like wait for another 10 -20 episodes to be released, builk watch, etc. I mean, you watch 1 episode a week, where's the point in dropping it. Is your life THAT busy you cant spare a simple 25 minutes a week?

I doubt it.

The problem is not lack of time. More like lack of interest. Casn you be interested when a show consists of stretching the same fights over 20 episodes? Bleach has slowed down little by little ever since Soul Society. I still remember the days where a fight would start AND end in the same episode.

I can see what you mean but, I still find it an easy watch. At the end of the day, if I want to watch some good action I'll watch Black Lagoon or something. I personally like the visuals in Bleach (I havent noticed the drop in animation much since i've not tried to rewatch the Soul Society arc and when I did, it was on a shitty flash player), still characters I recognise, and they're still cool enough.

Its just 20 minutes a week of an easy watch. Its generally a Tuesday or Wednesday, get home, get a cup of tea, bite to eat, put Bleach on. Its a nice, easy 20 minutes. If I wanted something more hardcore, I'd look elsewhere.

It's a shounen, its obviously gonna be dragged out lol.

OMG!
come on you three top fighting!

for god's sake, bleach is way to far better than naruto, when it comes to moving, i mean last time i watched naruto their was hardly action! damn it, so i dropped it!
right! i don't read the manga but the story is really slow those days, i think it's because of the 3rd movie coming out and all, besides, days are running slow all those holidays, and boringness, and cold =_=...
but honestly this slow running fights are pissing me off, yet i didn't see ichigo much in the anime, did he dead?? :P... i hope that they move the anime faster, or i will lose interest too.

Some people can. Ever since I finished my 200th series I think it's finallly sinking into my when a series honestly is dogshit terrible. And yes. In the soul society arc, shit would end the episode it started.

Actaully Sara-kun, the _____ of Asuma Arc actually was very good, and moved quite well. Even the currently airing filler seems to have potential. Right now I think not just me, but many other people watching Bleach and Naruto, can honestly say, Bleach is total crap compared to everything else out there right now. As much as I hate to say it I am not enjoying the anime even the slightest bit.

i won't say either of the was shit, but i have head the the filler in naruto is coming back again, i'm not sure, as for Asuma thing i'm not that much fan of him so i kinda skip it, but that is not the point, the point is whether or not watching is enjoyable or not, the reason why i'm watching bleach is because it's active and live, like when naruto shippuuden was first aired, but if bleach starts to be all boring and shit i'll drop it too, over all i didn't like this episode too, Kenpachi was so weak or what seems to be, and i missed ichigo is he dead or something, 'cause i didn't really seen him much in the anime lately :P.

Viper; If you really feel Bleach is so shit; then drop it and leave it at that.

I dont know how 1 episode a week can keep -anyone- that interested, to be honest. I mean unless its a kind of thriller thats designed to keep you on edge, then it wont. We all know Kenpachi will win, we all know the Shinigami/Ichigo will always win in the end. Its not like we cant predict the outcome of the fights really.

Naruto is bullshit, srsly. Bleach owns it. I admit lately Bleach is a bit slower than normal, but heck, at least its not fuckin' filler. Lets face it, that bullshit about Kasumi-Ooji wasnt too impressive. Nor was the Bount arc. Just be thankful this has some purpose.

Read the manga if you hate the anime so much. But as I said, its only 25 minutes a week to keep yourself busy and watch casually. It's nothing hardcore.

Chill d00de. Just let Bleach go at its own pace.

They don't delay... if they don't release in two days it means that the show wasn't aired that week. Seriously, a lot of shows didn't air this week, so chill.

I'm really looking forward to the Turn Back the Pendulum arc. It was just short enough to feel like the author had everything carefully plotted out and the pace was much faster than in the last chapters and episodes. I'd say it was the best thing since the Soul Society arc.

Did anyone else notice if Inoue ever started healing Nel? In 199, about 07:30, Ichigo told her to heal Nel first, but I never saw it happen. Then in 200, about 13:00, it shows her healing Ichigo.
If you saw something I missed, or if it happened in the manga, but the anime just hasn't showed us yet, could you let me know?
Thanks.

Agreed, I adored Turn Back the Pendulum, it had my heart racing like a thriller which hasn't happened since all that Aizen business back in SS.

Mayuri really "healed" Nemu good there. She looks better these days than before some reason.

Orihime finally got around to healing Ichigo, FINALLY.

Kenpachi vs Nnoitra is finally starting to heat up. Maybe now that Nnoitra's revealed his eye, Kenpachi will reveal his. I can't wait.
