@Mefist - Depends on your definition of filler. Dragged out fights and pointless chit-chats? Then yeah, its inevitable. Oh well.

I doubt that would happen, this isn't Shippuuden after all ;) Here if they want to delay for a bit, they put a few random episodes with little or no relation to the main story, like they did in the mini-filler bit when they fall below hueco mundo in the crystal forrest or something.
Anyway, about this episode, I really liked it, the first half at least. Although it ended so... bad (for Ichigo, lol), I'm guessing this is just the beginning of their fight. Hope it keeps up the pace, but to be honest, Bleach rarely dissapointed at this part (except the Bounto bit :P), so I'm hoping for the best and not expecting the worse.

Liked the episode: everything exept for renji scene's, he's turning out to be a discrace. He used 2 be so cool in SS arc :/

And damn...emo is only 4 o.0. Team ichigo in deep shit. But i expected this actually. Espada's 6 and higher are 2 strong. Ichigo couldn't even defeat grimmjow who's #6 and has never properly used his sword ( one hand ) or released it o.0. We don't even have 2 start with aizen who whooped ichi/renji's asses in SS with 2 fingers and puts grimmjow 2 the ground with only his reiatsu. Seems hopeless, but i still have faith in ichigo...^^

people that need 2 die really bad: aizens b*tches and sayel grants.....they really do!!!!

Next ep: GRIMMJOW XD XD

*Sigh, Ichigo gets his ass kicked again. He was impressive, but he still lost quite fast after his mask broke ... I would have thought he'd put up a bit more of a fight, what's with his Bankai becoming completely useless all of a sudden?

And well, I never liked Renji, but he was having trouble vs. that stupid big arrancar? wth? It's not like he got seriously injured .. Syazel didn't even touch him ... he was just dodging his attacks the whole time =/.

Guess it's all up to Ishida to keep the team alive.

haha ya, it feels like the anime is almost on top considering the szayel fight took so long in the manga, and the anime tends to cover those types of fights in only 3ish episodes, oh well, it will be interesting to see where the anime catches up...

Ichigo only option is 2 increase the 11 seconds. I still don't like the mask that mutch...it lokks better when you only see have of it.
Credit 2 #4emo tho: he's straight 2 the point. He attacks with no mercy.GREEN CERO FTW ;p

When grimmjow fought ichigo's bankai form with his bare hands , it became clear that bankai is useless.

nice episode i guess, looks like all the 5 heros are falling to me ._. i wonder how it will go on :X rukia,ichigo,sado are really really badly injured plus renji still injured the only one that "seems" to be fine is ishida >< and if they were to make until the arrancar that powerfull... isnt it abit hard to defeat them when defeating some of the lousiest rank is enough to almost kill them? :X anyway hope all of them would be fine :D

That was... strange or lame. I don't really like that kind of "humour" and I don't know how many do either.

Imagine he can't use his Bankai against an Espada in that situation... he couldn't do better, and he sure tried, we gotta give him that. But bankai means increasing his own abilities, as well as the sword's, so it's understandable. Btw, I don't really like Renji either :P

Are you denying the fact that Ishida's battle, as well as Ichigo's with the horn-guy, and even Chad's, weren't at least interesting? The lamest was Rukia's, but then again, it wasn't such a surprise either :P

You got a point, i think bleach characters need more stragedy, like Ishida. Whenever they're weaker they just seem to pointlesly attack the enemy without a plan.

Now, this was some episode for me, probably because of Ulquiorra (the part with showing his espada number, mmmm! and scary too o_O) xD Quite short recap at the beginning, big plus. Gladly voted 'loved it' after few eps of big disappointments ;D

Now, I would like to see some of chars die, don't get me wrong I don't hate any, but it is kinda strange that it is always too hard to give finishing blow, when someone is lying unconscious. It's obvious that Ichigo won't die nor Rukia but someone else ... Oh, and yeh, I know that it's shounen :p

They have to seriously power up if they want do something, maybe some reinforcements from SS or that guys with hollow masks?

Och, and the bi*ch duo shall be punished!

Nel, as usual, was the best part of this episode.

I like how we get to watch all the main characters slowly get destroyed. There's something about an invincible, never-losing team that makes anime boring. The "good guys" have to lose some of the time, or else there's no point in watching.

And ironically, Ishida seems to be the 'strongest' of the group thus far...having been the only person to succeed at anything in this disasture-filled bust of a mission.

Who the hell thought it was a good idea to travel to the enemy's main base, when your superiors (the captains) can't defeat a single espada on earth? Obviously our main characters weren't thinking...at all.

Yes....i agree! Making the good guys loose is good somtime, but i think ichigo's lost 2 mutch. Yami / grimmjow 2x / Ulquiorra / and a hard fight against that privaron guy!!!
He rly needs 2 step up.

And i wonder why byakuya didn't stop Rukia and Renji. We're talkin about espada' and Aizen!!!

I think this is episode is the best so far in the arrancar arc.
Im actually looking forward the next ep.
bleach is getting better and better and I hope it keeps going like that, while naruto shippuuden is getting worse.
with this episode, now I think: bleach > naruto shippuuden
what I think will happen/ want to happen in the the next episode:
1. nel will heal ichigo (I think)
2. when inoue realizes that ichigo is not dead, she will kick their asses (I hope <333)
3. and ulqui is going to see that^

as for renji & ishida's fight, Im not really into it.

anyway, I do hope inoue will do something instead of being rescue =333

I agree, why would they think that they would win against the espada when they couldn't do any major damage on earth?

As for Ishida, I think that it is ironic that he used to hate the shinigami and now here he is the one who exeling in the battle fighting along side with them.

I thought this episode was pretty good, it went at a decent pace and it left you wondering what will happen to Ichigo, Rukia and Sado. Then there is Grimmjow..

First and foremost, LMFAO at Orihime getting bullied by those 2 Arrancar. They look sexier when they're bullying Orihime some reason... ^^ Though I do feel a little bad for her, it was just too amusing to watch.

Ichigo vs Ulquiorra was flashy. Too bad Ulquiorra just wiped the floor with him though. Scary to see that he's just #4. Speaks a lot about the first 3.

Ishida! That epic heroic entrance! Show the other Megane who the more powerful Megane is!

Also, I caught a glimpse of Grimmjow in the preview. FINALLY.
