Average episode, but I like the Shinigami Men's Association thing. I'd totally want a cellphone like that.

I liked this episode. i was glad they where in there own town again . i was happy to see kon i really missed that guy. what i dont understand. what happend with The Hueco Mundo arc all of the sudden.


The Hueco Mundo arc was temporarily put into cold storage by the great powers above that be Studio Pierrot. This filler arc is a completely unrelated piece of story that barely fits anywhere in the Bleach timeline.


ahhh that explains a lot...
but yeah i agree i like seeing them in the town again...but 6 months of it =O (as someone suggested)
maybe if they showed urahara and/or toushiro then id be happier =D

well, the op and ed are good, and it has ninjas. however...cutting out of the middle of the hueco mundo arc like that still bothers me, so i'll probably be unable to like this arc anyway, even if it ends up ok

erm... the plot was so...standard. Then again, the whole beginning of the last filler arc was kind of a fakeout, so maybe things'll get more interesting. I hope they get back to the new 3rd captain, I liked that episode better. It also irritated me that Ichigo was starting to actually think about his fighting, tho his explanation was still kinda lame. I'm just hoping that the whole noble family thing will get us some more Byakuya and Shunsui screentime...mmmm...

Luckily, for those really hoping to get back to Hueco Mundo, the plot of this filler arc doesn't look like it could possibly sustain more than 24-26 episodes.

WHAT?! Even as a prediction that's scary! I really like the Hueco Mundo Arc, esp. at the end. I don't read the manga so I really want to know what happens in Hueco Mundo, but if it seriously goes on for 24-26 eps. then I'm gonna put this show on hold till further notice!

All I have to say is LOLNINJAS.

God. Half a year of shitty animation? I mean, I don't really care if its filler since Bleach is Bleach, but still, at least do it with semi-decent animation quality.

And indeed, dere ain't nuttin more manlier than have a rolled up towel as a headband. :3 Best part of the whole episode.

Bounto Arc gave us about 50 episodes, so 24-26 means good news.

...have to admit, I'm actually starting to get more curious about this arc. Unfortunately, I'm not completely convinced that it will be much better than the Bounto arc.

The animation sure was lacking in some parts, the stupid dialogue bothered me too. And the stupid monkey sure killed the "serious tone" for me...


WTF? What the heck was a Sayajin doing in Soul Society???? This Kumoi character must have a grat influence indeed...

So wait is this a filler arc or did they start a whole new arc after Ichigo defeated grimmjow? I'm rather confused but well lets see what this has to offer, currently it isn't really that interesting imo... the new characters are okey I guess.

The assassin at the end resembled Kakashi a bit, with the mask and the wild, white hair.

Lots of assassin's who work for that guy who is meant to be the head while the girl is too young trying to get rid of her, that's is cliché I agree.

But assassins are cool.

Well, I gave it a 3-episode shot. This interests me far less than the Bount filler arc did, and I didn't even watch all of that. Unlike the folks who posted in 2008, I have all the episodes available to me at once via Crunchyroll. To me the depth of story and characterization is less well done than in the Bount stuff. A lot of it is just silly. It is like the studio called in their B team to do this, they had other commitments, so now its the C team.

IMO, the studio would have been much better off to have stuck to the manga throughout. This means there would have been gaps in televising Bleach. I'm imagining something like 13 weeks on, 13 weeks off, etc. (More recently, the series _Haikyuu!!_ has had two 25-episode seasons followed by a 10-episode season, and they are currently waiting for the manga to get far enough ahead for a new season. The gaps are frustrating but the seasons are great.) To interrupt an on-going action story with 22 episodes of an "other world" slice of life thing just doesn't fit. (I guess for the Soul Society parts, "slice of afterlife". 😉 )

On to episode 190 -- Hueco Mundo here I come.

I don't really care if it's cliché or not, it seems interesting so far, it can be fun to see Ichigo's turning into a bodyguard xD

Kinda cliche plot, but my inner Bleachie screams "I'm kinda enjoying this so far"

As someone who finished the manga this is only an excuse for me to watch more of Ichigo and his friends kicking ass, despite it not being that great.

Otherwise kinda enjoyed this episode tbh. Assassins are cool. The assassin at the end made me think of kakashi a bit with the mask and hair. A few laughs in the first part.

Princesses, power struggles and a mute bodyguard I still have high hopes about this filler arc. Ichigo being made a bodyguard not sure how long it will take for him to spill the beans to Rurchiyo that her life is in danger.
