Did I enjoy this? I'm not even sure...

3/5, it was okay I guess. Not at all what I was hoping for. Plus the ending song this week went through way too much material (in my opinion). I'm glad it at least slowed down during Ichigo's final battle with Ulquiorra.

Lol the Kisuke vs Kisuke part was really good, other parts just seemed boring otherwise.

And I love how Rukia screamed for Ichigo after he got stabbed. I'm sadistic :(

Nice to see Mayuri irritated again. Knowing him, he's probably faking that he's hurt and is plotting something real bad against reigai Unohana.

Looks like Ichigo's current Hollow form still wants to protect his friends. So it isn't just a hollow this time, he's actually partly in control.

Kidou battle was really nice. I love when they use Kidou.

Ichigo needs to go full superhollow mode, and the annoying green-haired dude will be no more.

Only 3 more episodes? Thank god. I'm not hating the filler, I just am getting a bit bored and impatient

Now the question is what form will Ichigo take in order to win? Will he have to use final getsuga tenshu again? I don't care either way. If that's what it takes to end the filler, so be it.

Nooot gonna lie, that wasn't a great episode.
All I really saw was the good guys getting pushed around by the bad guys.
Renji was especially an idiot in this episode, I mean, he found out the FIRST time that attacking head on didn't work, so what did he do? He did it AGAIN!

Ichigo protected Rukia? So he is able to still keep his human side as a hollow? I guess that was kinda interesting.

Anyway, the endng was cool cuz we get to see Ulquiorra again! ^_^

Urahara vs Urahara was the best.

And i hope either Ichigo manhandles Kagezora like he did with Aizen (who really deserved it, i wish more Anime would have such a moment for annoying arrogant characters), or Orihime will finally stop him.

While Kageroza has the power to control space, to an extend where it looks like time manipulation,which is quite useful as seen, Orihime is far behind the need for such simple minded concepts.

With the possible exception of Ichigo abusing Kageroza like he did with Aizen, which would require at least his full hollow powers, or another special form, which would be kinda boring, him already having enough different power ups and forms, Orihime showing him whos the boss (and i mean killing kim, or at least hitting him so hard he wished he would be dead, and not just a bit deflecting some attacks..which she does not even do for the most part there..) would be the most satisfying end for him.

What happens after that is open, if he reverts back into to regai, or vanished completely or whatever, but please, don't just simply stab him or wave around a bith with Getsuga Tenshō or so.

The Illustrated Guide was one of the most WTF moments in all of Bleach. Getting Hollow Ichigo to jump thru a flaming hoop (literally)? Sure, why not.

I also wish they'd decided to go with Vasto Lorde Hichigo instead of the bulky white version, there'd be a lot more tension if we knew he was in the same form he obliterated Ulquiorra with and even smashed the frikkin Gates of Hell using. As OP as Kageroza is I think Super Hollow Ichigo could still wipe the floor with him, and if he busts out his Bankai 2.0 or Final Getsuga forms it's definately all over. Sorry, as strong as Kageroza is, he just isn't as overpowered as even pre-transformation Aizen.

Speaking of Ulquiorra! Awesome ED again this week. They're basically just doing brief AMVs of each season or so. I just wish the anime itself had skipped that huge, god-awful filler arc between the vice-captain fights and the Lust. It was torture waiting a year or so for the best fight in Bleach history to be animated. Even with the random edits and censoring, it was insanely awesome and well-deserving of a touch-up in the Hell Chapter movie.

The EDs are doing a good job of reminding me both of why I love Bleach, and why it frustrates the hell out of me. First the Neliel Tu ED, then the ED reminds me of the inexorable pauses the Winter Invasion inexplicably had. They picked the worst possible part to leave us hanging on, when we'd already sat through one filler season waiting to get back to real fights. I was fanraging every week I didn't get to see that fight animated, LOL.

Anyone else notice how Kagekujo (forgot his real name) blasted hollow ichigo into the air in the most cheapest animation ever?

Funny shinigamis cup, fights were pretty meh, except the end where they put most of the budget on Kagekujo flipping out.

I wish theyd have Rukia, Renji and Chad to have more badass moments. Renji's last one was probably in the first Soul Society arc and Rukia just got lucky with Aaroniero. Chad punched a hollow so hard the face of the DEVIL was formed on the wall behind him, but that was like 100 episodes ago.

Well what can I say? Nothing really happened in this episode. It was OK but I wanted more intesetivity. (Don't know if the spelling is right so excuse me. I'm Swedish.)

The best part was the ending. That's sums it up.

This ep had its moments! Reigai Unohana was awesome going up against Kurotsuchi. More of original vs their reigai double, which I hate.

But we got to see Tessai and Nemu, and they rarely get screentime, so that was good!

Interested to hear about the next arc starting in either 3 weeks or 7 weeks, depending if the poster above was using US dating (mm.dd.yy), japanese (yy.mm.dd) or UK (dd.mm.yy)!!! hahaha!

Don't get your hopes up about the so called canon arc that's coming up. I was sure that was a MANGA filler, while they came up with more manga content.

What a tedious predictable arc. Getting real tired of bleach...
"Howl Zabimaru" - does nothing... Didn't see that coming!
I'm don't want to rule soul society, I want to destroy it"... Didn't see that coming either
Giant captain battle - haven't seen that before....
Overpowered evil leader guy beating everyone down until Ichigo battles him...
This show is getting so bad I'm starting to get offended that it acts like we can't see through it's lazy bullshit.
