| this should've been the Halloween episode tf is going on with mayuri bro he scares the shit out of me😭 |
| I originally wrote a dissatisfied review of the episode, but then deleted it because I didn't want to be too negative in a discussion mostly filled w/ praise. However after seeing many others online voice their dissatisfaction with the episode, I feel more vindicated in sharing my thoughts as well. Episode was good. 6/10. So what's wrong? Let's start with the elephant in the room. The CGI isn't bad imo. Does it look as good as if it was hand-drawn? No, but it doesn't look bad. What does look bad is Pernida swaying in the air like a tree on a windy day. It looks dumb and draws more attention to the CGI. Pernida looks and feels like a video game character in a cut scene. The episode feels slow, which is a first for this adaptation. I wasn't on the edge of my seat throughout the episode, and I think a lot of things contributed to that. I think the studio should have either put more effort into the episode or they should have condensed the fight more. If the episode ran 33% faster, it wouldn't have felt as anticlimactic. Beyond that, here is the good Great music Great art, other than Pernida Love the use of CGI with Wahrwelt. When the characters are running through the streets, the CGI looks excellent. Mayuri's bankai was pretty good. |

| Truly one the most grotesque episodes I have seen, especially from bleach. Props to the animators for this. Mayuri truly is a psycho. Also I can’t believe twitter haters went ballistic on the CGI that was only few seconds, they made it seem like it was the whole episode. It didn’t bother me |
  |
| What an utterly repulsive episode. 10/10, cook again. 🔥 |
| Mayuri is still the biggest weirdo of Soul Society, that's for sure. I love the new renditions of the old, OG ost's. Feels so nostalgic. The new ones are also great, Shiro Sagisu never disappoints. The CGI was fine, and the rest of the animation has been pretty damn good. |
| If you win, you live, if you lose, you die. If you don't fight, you can't win. |
| Not a huge fan of the CGI. Komamura's Bankai CGI was handled much better. I wonder why they have to use CGI in the first place. Is it really difficult to anime a giant hand? Otherwise, great episode as always. Mayuri is such an awesome character. |
| That's insane mad scientist that altered his bankai to be like that... Kenpachi looks really hilarious XD |

| Not a bad episode in an of itself, but definitely the weakest of the cour so far. Mayuri's VA is always on point though, what a performance. At least the second half of the fight should be more interesting. Plus, Kyoraku reading the poem for this week means that next week we're getting at least the start of one of the best fights in the series. |

| mayu-chan complaining about the long name then his bankai's name is longer 🙃 |

| Mayuri continues to increase his creepiness. His inquisitive nature is commendable, though. Too bad for Zaraki. |
| Unbelievably CRAZY GREAT episode! 🤯😍❤️❤️❤️ |
 |
| honestly as someone who is going to school for animation, i get why theyre choosing to use the cgi. i've noticed its been a subject of debate with the new cours, and for good reason. sometimes it looks pretty bad, but other times they manage to pull it off. especially for the hand, its way easier to animate that thing in 3d than trying to keep the forms consistent with hand drawn. but hey, it doesn't look too bad. good episode as always, it was cool to see the big baby. the nerves being on the outside of the baby grossed me out in the best way possible. hoping we see nemu kick some ass soon too. |
 |
| I love Mayuri so fucking much. Easily best written mad scientist character ever. Each of his fights gets more deranged and sickening than the previous one. |
| Kurotsuchi episodes are always the weirdest ones, but he's definitely one of the greatest assets of the soul society. |
| Okay, but are we ready for what's coming next |
 |
| I'm just glad Mayuri isn't our enemy LMAO WHAT A MAD SCIENTIST!! |
 |
| The CGI was ehh, but at least they nailed Mayuri's creepines and his nightmarish Bankai. Hell, I'm glad they didn't depict the Bankai with CGI. |
