| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Uh... what? New Captain? I'm expecting him to die at the end of the fillers then. |
 |
| Beat me by 30 minutes. -.- Quite a good episode. I liked how instead of having one huge flashback episode they broke it up here and there. 5/5 |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| it is finally happening D: |
 |
| the ep was so-so.. is it filler time now ? if it is why o why? |
 |
| for a second the new captain looked like urahara...but not. that fight's conclusion was fairly simple. i was expecting uroqua to interfere or some other lame hollow. or maybe for grim to rise from the dead [that is IF hes dead haha]...it would have been more interesting. oh well. |
| From the preview, the fillers are going to focus on Soul Society so Hueco Mundo arc is completely ignored. |
|
| crud, more fillers coming up... oh well, i liked this episode... kinda a concluding point to Ichigo and Grimmjow's battles... oh well, not really looking forward to the next ep though... |
 |
| AAAAAAAAAAAND IT BEGINS. You know filler's around the corner when they start playing the bounto theme song. (you know, the one banging on the same piano key for 5 minutes ¬¬) Well at the very least we can be glad they concluded the best ichigo fight in this arc, and I guess if they were gonna put fill in anywhere, it'd have to be here. I would thank Nel not to point out the glaring plotholes in the omake though. >_>; I guess if its gonna be centered around SS they could say this is whats heppen during the HM infiltration... but whats with all the talk about ichigo and co being in school clothes they couldnt be thinking to actually show them during the filler the way things are.... Bleh. I need sleep. |
Vince said: Yes, it's filler time now. And to answer your "Why, oh why?" it's because it's catching up to the Manga...but the Manga is still pretty far ahead, I don't know why they are going into fillers. But eh, some things can't be helped. I guess but there was only about Vince said: Personally, I thought the episode was great. Grimmjow's end was done very well, in my opinion. Though, I didn't quite like how the episode ended by the way the events happen in the Manga. But now I'm wondering due to the events in the Manga, how will the fillers actually work? I won't spoil anything, because I myself hate spoilers, but I'm just confused. x.x. I agree its pretty much impossible to tie up the ichigo fights, but then again it might not be so hard, ichigo just underestimates his foe and gets beaten up before it catches onto the manga, but Rukia, that could be a bit tough.... |
  Dibs on Ishida! |
| Another good ep. Nice to get some of Grimmjow's back story and I liked how they ended the fight. |
     |
which means there would have been about 9ish more episodes before it caught up to where the manga is I thought they were pretty close to the manga, but I wasn't positive. I'm glad that they're going this route, though, and talking about the captains. At least it's not Naruto's totally random episode filler. This ep was alright, but I see that they've returned to Old (New) Bleach style w/ 3 minutes of recap, which (hopefully) should disappear once the filler arc starts. I liked the flashback info on Hollows; it was something that was always nagging at me. I also liked how Ichigo and Orihime had that romantic stare into the setting sun and Grimmjaw's (implied) dead body. That was a nice touch. |
 |
| *shrug* I don't understand how they're going to play off this filler arc. Are they just going to cut off in the middle of the Hueco Mundo arc, and move into a totally different stroyline, and then 50 episodes later they're gonna come back with the Hueco Mundo plot? Doesn't make sense. I have no idea in which direction this anime is going... sigh. At least the Grimm part of this episode was nice. ^^' |
     |
| I'm kind of looking forward to the filler eps. Because i follow the manga, everything in the anime iv'e more or less seen. So filler anime eps just breathe a new life into it for me. As long as they don't do a 'Hantaro bakes a cake v2.0' ill be happy =D I didn't mind they ended it here because anywhere else and i think it might've looked a whole lot less polished |
| Yo Grimmjow... EAT ME! |
 |
| Ending was kind of boring and stupid. D: |
     |
| Wonderful... I'm gonna go ahead and say based on the fact that the manga is taking a break in its own form and fashion, I don't expect fillers to be over until well into July, probably farther. Just wonderful. |

It could be a year from now before they finish fillers. I hope not, but it wouldn't surprise me. |
| I noticed something very unnatural at the end of the episode... How in the world can Ichigo move like he's uninjured at the end of the fight, when he got pierced twice? Anyway, nice episode, I liked the previous one better though. |

|
| after the last epi was so good, this one was not that good. the animation itself wasn't at the same level. booo. and the filler, while i don't mind them, at least make some sense of it. now they are leaving HC all of a sudden. dumb idea. what is inoue going to get caught again so they have to go back to HC. |
| Its stupid. They easily have material enough for 2 more months. And when they finish this arc. the manga is done with the current arc (I hope) And since it takes place |
 |
| Decent episode. I liked how they showed Grimmjow's past in between the fighting because I'm not a big fan of long fight scenes so the flashbacks made the episode more interesting. Looking at the preview I realised fillers were coming, and now looking here I find out that I am right. I hate the bleach fillers. >.< Lets hope I don't have to skip them agian like I did with the bounto ark. >.> |
| Pretty good episode. Hated the ending, though. Sucks that the fillers will start now (they could at least show more of the Hueco Mundo Arc). I hope these fillers won't be very long =S |

| it was ok i guess.but the real exciting parts were gonna come after this fight.oh well that means no more bleach downloads for 3 or 4 months. |
  |
| Mixed feelings on this ep.... I've always wanted to see Gimmjow get his arse kicked but now that he's dead...I feel a bit sad...'cos he was just an awesome character! T_T oh... one more thing... FUCK FILLERS... |

| The ep was ok but now fillers come. Does this mean they will completely ignore all main characters in HM? If thats the case I have a bad feeling this is gonna be boring as hell. |
   |
| grimmjow isnt dead, is he?! he wont die, right? 8{ screw u ichigo, u dont even have the balls to let inoue heal grimmjow !! fuckin pussy -.- grimmjow > ichigo |
 |
| This was one of the best episodes in a while, despite Ichigo's ridiculous power level boost. I hope we'll see more of Grimmjow, he's one of the most interesting Espadas and pretty gar. Fillers... they better not fuck up the storyline too much. A side story or something that happened in the past would be preferable. Even Don Kanonji! D: |
| Boo @ fillers and boo @ Grimmjow just floating there waiting to die.. |
 |

|
| I have a great idea for this filler arc! The Bounto rise from the dead and attack soul society again! How great would that be. Oh and they need the same OP from the previous bount arc too. |
| I liked this episode, even if the animation wasn't that good. I think having fillers at that moment of the anime is kinda weird : Rukia and Chad are still dying; Renji and Ishida are waiting for Syazel to have his clothes changed xD |
  |
| I loved this episode pretty much. And I'm courios about the joke part at the end of the episode :D Probably Ichigo will be send to Karakura Town in a MAGICAL way :D |
 |
Cristina_Sierra said: And I'm courios about the joke part at the end of the episode :D Probably Ichigo will be send to Karakura Town in a MAGICAL way :D Yeah. Like notning happend... Pathethic. They should do this without characters involved with Hueco Mundo. Damn... |
| good episode, i like the little moment with Ichigo and Inoue at the end ^__^ though in the manga i think that part is suppost to be |
 |
The fillers will most likely describe the back story of four high-ranking Soul Society members (read manga ep. 297 if you want to spoil the surprise) and will give you the pre-story of who, when, why, and by what method do they enter Hueco Mundo. As for Ichigo/Rukia in the Real World, expect this to be exclusive to the end of each episode replacing the Shinigami's Cup/Paparazzi Pictures fan service. |
| Surely wasn't my favorite episode, but I don't think they could have made it better than they did... Kinda liked the music and how they held hands and looked up at the (fake) sky... but the only thing that gave me tears is the fact that I won't be hearing Nel talk until next next winter -_- |

Guy32 said: It was cool but they could have made it a lot better. I suggest you read the manga if you want anything interesting, it really starts to pick up after the Grimmjaw fight in drama-ness, too bad they're cutting it off right here XP |

Sukotsutsu said: I suggest you read the manga if you want anything interesting, it really starts to pick up after the Grimmjaw fight in drama-ness, too bad they're cutting it off right here XP Yeah, I totally agree with you. So...If you want to read the manga and not have to start at the VERY beginning, then I I suggest reading 280-285 in the manga (Grimmjow vs Ichigo). The fight ends at 286 and the story continues from there. (If you watch the manga at Youtube, each little chapter will take you about 5-10 min to read; they are not long) As of today's date it's up to Chapter 318. |
| I really enjoyed the episode to the point that at the end, I thought it was just at the middle, lol!, I had to double-check to make sure the episode was the right length of time. And for the person who skipped the Bount Arc, that was not a very wise decision IMO. The Bount Arc was just as good as the canon! If it weren't for manga nazi whiners, I wouldn't have even known that it waas filler. Bleach has generally decent and enjoyable fillers, with a few exceptions! |

It'd totally ruin the impact of them arriving if they explained that they were coming before they got there. |
| Wow! Couldn't they have gone easy one the cheese factor, because that was a seriously cheesy ending. They even panned up to the blue sky at the end. ^_^ |
