| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Sad to see this lot of fillers go, they were hilarious. Anyway, was a decent ep. If only they would show the continuation of this from the recent manga chapters, and skip to the other battles later. But, that won't happen. New Opening - Great music, terrible animation. Basically all stationary pictures (which are good), characters walking slowly, and some Orihime + Rukia dancing in the chorus... Would be better suited for an ending. New Ending - I dislike Sambomaster, so don't like the music, however the animation used is half-decent for an ending. |

| I just say finally. I waited for ages and here the new arc is. *jums* I can't wait for more.... Hitsugaya-Chan looked really handsome aswell *kyaa so cute* |

| adfadsfadsfasdf. I'm fairly middle of the road on both of the new themes, especially after Wiki got my hopes up for Stereopony's new single to act as a new Bleach theme. Maybe in twelve weeks for a new ED, hah. Maybe the new ones will grow on me too. The animation on the OP was trash though. Really still worried about the pacing of this in the anime. Just hope it doesn't take us 3 months to get back to Ichigo. Then again, considering the way that's going maybe I do. |

| I'm glad to see the fillers gone... DB has gotten lazy and taken them longer to sub so i had to bite my lip and watch raw with my poor language . but sooooooo glad they got rid of that crapper filler not last long |
| Finally back to canon storylines. They're going to drag this arc out as much as possible. The manga is going pretty slow so it's only expected the anime would be too. The new OP/ED are pretty good. They finally got rid of that terrible Orihime ED. |

| Sambomaster ending theme - I like it |

| I don't see why they had to waste episode time by showing what's going on in Kagamino city (22km east of Karakura city) by simply showing off reiatsu crushing hollows :P. I'm just glad it's back to the main story line. |

| YES! Finally back to the main story. I had forgotten how awesome the background music score of Bleach was until this episode, playing to the emotions of the characters and the viewers :D The capitan commander's Ryuujin Jakka attack was pretty great as well. OP and ED were good. I found it interesting that the episode had titles as to where everything was taking place (22km east of Karakura city, etc.) because they had never done so before in the series (I think). It really did just take up time in the episode. Overall it was a great comeback for the series and the plot line. |

| Ook watching second time ... coz i wanted to check on it Songs in OP and ED are good but animation is poor But does anyone else notice upscale in animation 11:06 when Ulquiorra is walking down the hall? I found severl other counts like this too ... i hope its not a tease on my eyes lol. |

I'm glad I never heard that rumor or I'd be seriously disappointed considering I love Stereopony and their new single. :P Glad to get it back on track. |
| Opening and Ending are lame...and they padded the hell out of this episode. On the bright side, I found Ulquiorra to be interesting for the first time...it almost made me wondere whether or not he'd pull a Vegeta. |
| op animation sucked, the song was decent. ed song sucked hardcore and the ed animation was nothing special. the episode was ok, it just reminded me that we are coming up to the fights where they jump around between them too much. i hope it isn't shown that way in the anime bc that is just going to annoy me even more. and im sorry but i laughed hard at the end, all i could think was orgy in the closet with the substitute shinigami diary. |
| Wow what an exciting episode! Tons and tons of NOTHING happened! Just awesome nothingness right there! *Sigh* and the OP... he was weird. |
| well,at least we are back to the main storyline^^ |
 |
| Didn't like the new opening(for the 1st time disappoint me) and ending. This episode is nice. At least I enjoy it. The animation is quite good too. Looking forward for next week episode. |
| I like the new OP song, but I can't say the same for the animation. The episode itself was alright, but this just confirms that they'll drag this out as much as possible >_> |
| The pacing of this show is as bad as ever. Ep summary Aizen gets trapped in ring of fire and Ichigo shows up to fight Ulquiorra + some meaningless dialoge. |

Hitsugaya-Chan looked really handsome aswell *kyaa so cute* Nyahahaha so I wasn't the only one who was happy to see Hitsugaya X3 FINALLY back to the main story! New OP was... I dunno. There was things I liked and things I disliked. ED was pretty good. This episode was overall good but little bit slow. I'm expecting some actions in the next episode :) |

You can blame the manga pacing for that, this whole episode consisted of 1 chapter from the manga, and that was with ALOT of filler extension help. My god the pacing is terrible in both forms. |

WolfWood37 said: Exactly... This is one of the main reasons why One Piece > Bleach, the manga has over 2x the amount of content, in the same amount of pages... But anyway, the pacing of Bleach is still better then KHR anime... For now...Quanta said: The pacing of this show is as bad as ever.

I'm just glad it's back to the main story line. Yeah wtf is the point of that? I like building up suspense and drama and all...but please...were 215 episodes in, and bleach has gotten pretty slow pace. Why are you showing us something totally unimportant? We all already know they are all about as strong as they get. The titles thing about where stuff was going on is kool in a way...to build suspense. But they've already built enough making us wait over these crappy filler arcs...just get to it already! lol PsychFreak said: This episode has confirmed my belief that Bleach is about to be dragged to death I know...I saw the new OP, and the setting up for the new big battle...and got excited thinking "Maybe Bleach will become good again!" Then we spent a whole 20min episode of just...talking. I've lost hope... Yes "Back to the main storyline" that will take another 5 episodes before anything meaningful happens at the rate there dragging this out. OP music I liked. Animation was ...meh ok. ED I didn't care for one way or the other. Quanta said: The pacing of this show is as bad as ever.

| fillers over and new ep was good ya op and ed rocked but this arc is about to be longggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg |
 |
| Next episode looks much more interesting, however it feels good to see everyone again. However, if Ichigo manages to easily pummel Ulq, I am going to be very upset. Ulq is my favorite character and him just being on screen has me instantly glued to the screen. |
 |
| Finally!!! It's back to the action man! Boy, the actions are really HEATing up ;p |
 |
| Yes we are back to the main manga storyline XD it was slow but rather go through that then fillers like the new ending but with the opening i like the animation continuing from Velonica and good soundtrack but both dont seem to work together >.< |

So true :/ I want to see the Vizard enter the fray already! Talk about stretching it out... I haven't been able to stop thinking about that scene with all the Vizard.... "Lets roll"... hehe, gonna be so damn good! |
| lolwut dance routine. |

Incubus said: yey x).... "Lets roll"... hehe, gonna be so damn good! i wanna see Aizen's reaction when he will see the Vizards ) but he's in that circle of fire x( maybe he'll sense the reyatsu of them.. who knows |
| At last, the arch was over... But I kinda dont like to see the battles to being divided for sametime. They should focus on 1 and then after that to the another one |

This episode takes 2 chapter actually with some add-in. Refer to chapter 316 and 317. |
| Weird op. Average episode, the pacing was a bitch. |
 |
| loved the episode i've been waiting to see the scenes with the captains and those with Rukia & co for a long time now.. glad they're back on track,although they're going kinda slow : \ |
 |
| Well.... now THAT was a big disappointment really, was expecting much more captains vs espada time in this episode, but all we got was just some boring Ulqoirra rambling and annoying Orihime, as if we haven't had that enough alrdy .... way too slow, but at least next episodes should finally become some good again !! |
| I really preferred the OP over the ED, but that's just my opinion. o.o I'm glad that the fillers are over and its back onto the main story line. Needs less talk and more action though. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| a bit odd OP, love the pic. but to quick for me to enjoy them. had to stop, so i could see them :P every one showed up to help ichigo, exsept 1. where is ishida? i didn't see him :S anyway, can't w8 to see the Vizard ppl fights :D |
| Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow! I love the new opening! It feels very different from the other ones, it's quite strange, but also familiar in a way. I also like how this time 'round they only show the good guys. The ending was also quite good. Unfortunately the episode was pretty lame though. |
| Nothing happened... tsh... I'm tired of these small-detailed filling things. OP was good, but animation was poor. I liked Rukia and Orihime dancing (rukia's hair was somewhat cute) but I'd like to see Rukia alone... Orihime is getting much more annoying... |
| I really love the new opening song! Its amazing! :D Love the animation of orihime! :D |
