Oh Bleach filler, why are you more entertaining than the current manga arc?

Also great looking episode, budget seems higher than the fake Karakura and Final Aizen fight to me.

Well... that was extremely well done. I'm gussing thr bad guys power involves time perception. The finale was gret, with the originals going all BDH. This was way better then the last half of the last canon arc, and 100 times better then the current manga arc. Way to go.

I hardly ever give this show a 5/5 but I have to admit I loved this episode cause I love action : )

The ONLY 2 things I did not like is
- No epic soundtracks were played during all of the action
- Chad was once again used as a fodder character, getting real tired of that.
(Edit- It would have been nice to see him get a fight scene like Ishida)

Great episode though, now the opening makes sense ^^

This episode was AMAZING ! I loved how the episode was animated! I almost got a nosebeeld only from the art and action... Filler arcs are always animated better... But it's a good thing.
Ishida was very cool, but the same things keep coming again and again... Ishida and Chad were defeated AGAIN and Ichigo saved them... again. Looking forward for more Ishida in the future~

I don't remember the last time I really enjoyed Bleach, but this episode I ejoyed very much. Giving it 5/5.
Not to say that it's anything groundbreaking, but it's everything Bleach SHOULD be more often.
Yoruichi was is awesomeness incarnated.

Good god the animation was awesome this week. I couldn't help but laugh when Chad jobbed less than 30 seconds after showing up.

Nice fighting with ichigo and double-hair-color guy. I like his double voluge type weapon. Using that rock style Number One from the movie soundtrack again was a good call too. I might end up keeping this episode around for my archives.

I'm hoping for them to either fight their doubles or someone else to clearly measure the originals' power.

this was a great episode and the animation was really good. i think this is going to be a short filler arc since everyone knows the villain and stuff probably not going to be as big as bounto. but still going to be good (not as good as one piece filler :) ) but gonna keep on watching

episode 5/5

I agree. I like this filter more compared to other filters in Bleach. I love to see how Yoruchi fighting. It had been so long that I didn't see her fighting and she is awesome as always.

Looking forward for the next episode.

The animation is top-notch here, and it went really went alongside the location of the battle (the inside of a factory). I have high hopes for this filler arc.

It looks like next episode Kon goes back to stuffed animal form. I'm loving all the screentime Kon has been getting. It was short this episode, but they gave him time in the Shinigami Picture Book. <crossing fingers for funny moments next week>

Yeah. The way his zanpaktou goes around in a circle, it looks like the hands of a clock.

Don't know for sure if it will be short or not, but I'm glad they didn't drag out the "Ichigo is the bad guy/traitor" theme for too long. That's been played out so many times already.

I'm actually surprised.

I'm glad this filler is going at a pretty good pace. None of the fights were drawn out and there weren't multiple fights a quarter ways in ending with a "To be continued..."

Haha! It's quite funny that at the moment the manga actually seems worse and the filler arc after Aizen is more exciting that Kubo's developments after Aizen.

Yeah, it's annoying when they've stretched fights between episodes, but it's understandable too. They want people to be interested in what happens next and tune in the following week. Speaking of annoying things, I am quite happy that they haven't been doing any recaps at the beginning of episodes (so far...)

Throughly enjoyed the episode!

I love it when we have Shinigami on Shinigami fighting, and with the human crew getting back involved as well! Yes!

Although Chad only lasting 5 seconds made me facepalm. Sigh.

I want more Byakuya action wooooooooooooooo!

This episode was freaking awesome. It's been really a long time since I enjoyed watching a Bleach episode so much. That action, that work with the camera... I hope more of this kind of stuff will be in the future.
Definitely 5/5 for this episode.

Not a bad episode. I too agree Sado got down too fast... They could use some plot-o-hollow so that Sado could see Inaba move and block it at least once (later carry Kon).

This looks like soul cutters arc but the sword spirits look like shinigami and are combat crazy.
Ichigo is reckless too... going all out in his state like that not knowing anything about the enemy. If not for Inaba's wish to test Ichigo he would go down as fast as Ishida or Sado.

I need to start paying attention to things, so far I haven't really noticed the step-up in the animation.

What's his face's power's interesting though. Maybe he's able to freeze a person's perspective of time or something. Eh. :U

After some on-hold time, back to watch Bleach.

Hmm the battle animation and the art looks greater than anything before, I wonder if it can stay like that for the rest of the series. I think this is gonna be some good filler.
Apologies, I just can't avoid to rant.

Amazing animation! The little things are what really did it for me, despite the great work on the fights themselves... things like the guy scraping his weapon against the railing, or how Hitsugaya knocked out Izuru's fake with the hilt of his sword...

First 5/5 Bleach has gotten from me in ages lol. The filler is much more entertaining than I expected, I hope they keep it up!
