----------------------------------------
Finally, Ichigo's Bankai. (But I still prefer the old bankai. ;_;)

About 4 more chapters and only 1 episode left. Maybe they will cut something out. That would suck. =.=

So next week really is the end, huh? Dam, i'm getting depressed. again. T_T

During this episode I came to the realization that the timeskip that happened wasn't used very well. So much more could have been done with the whole Fullbring thing. Still feels weird that the anime will be ending next week.

I'm not sad that it's ending... personally I think the end is LOOOONG overdue, it will just be weird that one of the big three is going to be off air.

Rofl, best way to drop a long series; right before the final episode airs.

I agree, I don't much care for the new appearance of his bankai. His new shikai does look cool though.

As for why it isn't going to be animated... who knows. Seems like the network things that a stupid looking Naruto spinoff will do better than Bleach is currently.

I'm kind of hoping for a sequel series to air after the manga ends though, kind of a "Bleach: The Final Chapter" series with the full final arc with no filler.

Seems like they will exactly end like it has in the manga, so I would gess they will shorten the battle between Ginjou and Ichigo. There's no way they can put all of it in the anme without cutting something.
Too bad, it ends here. Is there any official statement from the studio about why they end it?

Well, this one was done quite nicely. They kept a good quality through the episode which satisfied me seeing as this is a one before last after all...

Next one is the final, so better be good.

4/5 for this.

This was a good episode. I enjoy the pacing this time around. Hard to believe the rumors its going to another channel when it the next ep previews seems to cover the rest of the arc. Also with Kon saying this is the last Illustrated Guide to Soul Reapers. Well I hope this is just a long hiatus till the manga gets far ahead though would love to see more being animated.

Nice episode, bankai looks cool to me, Ichigo shinigami's pride never go down! And here we go, feel depressing again T-T Hope that's just a hiatus, at least, we don't want 2 years of fillers, or the final arc all filler cutted like the Arrancar.

Love Ichigo's bankai. Ginjo is going to get his ass kicked.

366 cant be the last ep. How can they wrap up the battle and the whole series in one ep? Don't we got the 1000 year war arc left?

Could anyone say what subber did you use? Horriblesubs are trolling its users and released Another episode 11 named as Bleach 11. I only found one video that was subbed, but its quality was shit.

The 1000 year war arc isn't going to be animated because it just started in the manga. Hopefully it will be animated once more chapters come out. *crosses fingers*

The episode was pretty good the "Shut up" then into angry Bankai was my favorite part. As for his new out fit. Could be better. But his sword, his sword is awesome.
Ginjo's Bankia looks really stupid.

It really is an awkward feeling that the series is ending. I honestly wouldn't mind a filler in between. Bleach's fillers aren't that bad, well compared to Naruto. I don't see why bleach animators can't come up with a canon quality filler arc.

Well, it's unfortunate it's ending. But, honestly, I wouldn't be worried about not seeing this final arc in the manga animated.

Logic: businesses want money, which Bleach brings in. A hiatus (anticipation) + return + no filler = money. Whether it's 26 episodes or more, it's going to be animated and it's going to be good.

Thank you.


Exposition!

Ichigo's bankai...I have to say i liked the first look. It was more simplistic, like when Ichigo and Byakua first fought he(?) said his bankai looked like it took all the extra and pushed it inside the sword. I am digging the backcurves of the sword though.

Kon gave us confirmation about the show ending. Fingers crossed for a sequel show! And the preview spoiled that Jackie survived.

Awesome!

I really enjoyed watching this ep. The pace didn't seem rushed at all.

The whole twist about the Shinigami Substitute Badge was great.

Urahara: "He was gonna know sooner or later"
lol @ Ukitake being the one behind the Badge idea xP.

Ichigo's pride is high like ever.

Kon's saying "Last Shinigami Illustrated Picture Book" ... made me feel like: Yahari na.

5/5!

Can't wait for the finishing last ep~

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Bankai. <3 I still feel nostalgic about his old bankai though. I remember that time when he did it while fighting Byakuya. I was like :OOOOOOOOOO!

So yeah, great episode. I'm really starting to feel nostalgic about Bleach though. It makes me sad. I really wonder how they're going to end the series though. Probably have a nice monologue from Ichigo about all his past adventures~~~~ <3
But of course, the awesome fight with Ginjo first ;P

I'm gonna be pretty sad next week, with A LOT of shows ending then, especially Gintama' D;

Oh and Kon. It makes me so depressed! No more of his Shinigami Illustrated Book :( I wanted him to finish his story! :P Probably another one of him trying to hit on Orihime though xD

Mhmm ok ep, I been waiting for this for a while now but it didn't seem as good as it did when I first read it in the manga for some reason ;o Is it just me or did the art look a little off?

Bankai's were pretty good, especially Ginjo's. Ichi's outfit didn't look as good as the old one, but his blade is better ;o

Th finale to this arc next week, the last episode, hope it's done well.

I can't believe it's ending next week :c Although I didn't start watching Bleach until about a year ago, I really enjoyed watching like 10+ back to back to back..
When I finally got caught up, it was the filler & then I was so excited about the fullbring arc because it was actually in the manga but turns out I didn't really enjoy the fullbring arc as much as all the aizen stuff that happened before. & now it's almost over D: I was totally looking forward to the arc after the fullbring one to be animated since I don't read the manga.
Next week.. >_<

I agree with those saying that Ichigos old bankai looks better. It was really sleek. Just take a look at Ginjo, all that bones, oversized muscles, the hood (?), and then his purple wings..Ichigo isn't that extrem obviously, but Ichgio was always so sleek. No super detailed decorations, no flashy stuff. Just him and his Zanpakuto.

Also, this means no Shikai or Bankai for Kenpachi, Yachiru never even having a fight..heck, a lot of people didn't gshow their Bankai yet. We do not even know if they achieved it for some. Rukia, Urahara, Yachiru (not even Shikai), Ukitake, Shunsui and obviously Yamamoto. We also don't know much about Chōjirō Sasakibe, the first divisions leutnant, though he is the least important here.

Probably going to be in the manga before it ends for good, but not in the anime. Even if they do an OVA or so. Only way to cram all that stuff that is "missing" into it would be to animate something at least the length of an average arc.

Oh, and just remembered: Aizen never used Bankai. He did all that crazy stuff without Bankai. I wonder why, he was all about power after all. Maybe the increase of power through Bankai was to little for him to consider using once he got his hands on the Hōgyoku.

I also hope they do some thing in the future. Best would be a new season, the movies weren't *that* good (compared to the ongoing anime).

Oh my gosh!!!! The "supposed" last episode of the series. One. Week. Away. In. Counting. It must not end yet!! Tite, please let it come back after it ends in the manga!! It's your biggest masterpiece EVER!!

Loved Ichigo's bankai sword and the truth about the Combat Pass was interesting but Ichigo obviously figured it out long ago and doesn't give a damn. :)
Anyway in preparation for next week, I'll be listening to many of the theme songs for the series throughout the week.. I invite many to join in!

Argh... what was his zanpakuto called? Well, whatever it was--it had the power of illusion, making people believe his power was water. I'm guessing it's fairly plausible that he "used his water bankai" or something, at some point.

As for the illusion bankai, who knows. Not sure what it would have even been.

Ah Ichigo's bankai looks great, still prefered the old style as it was simpler though.

They decided to end this episode just when it was heating up! I expect an epic battle for the finale next week then.

I can't wait for it, but then the show is no more... ;_;

Something tells me Bleach might go in a similar direction to Gintama which took a year-long break before resuming. Either way, I want to see the manga's final arc animated!
