----------------------------------------
Ah, finally things are starting to get interesting. I wonder how long they'll keep up this pace until they decide its high time for more fillers. I think that's my biggest fear.

Well, I might as well enjoy what they are presenting. Totally love the Espada music. I feel it really captures their essence and fits them very well. And yeah, that was one long ass 11 seconds. Haha.

This sucks. >.>

I wouldn't be surprised if the rest would be pummled to the point where Inoue is forced to join Aizen's crew and we'd get another set of fillers... ; ;

I'll give 'em 2 more eps full of fighting left before going back to the fillers.....TOPS! ; ;

I don't want to flame but.. ug. Isn't fighting somewhat filler-y.. It's not like it requires great scriptwriting. I bet it's the exact same as all the other fighting :P
meh, this is why I don't watch bleach.

Don't kill me! I just wanted to see what people thought about it..

What the... Half of this episode was just filled with recaps of what we saw last episode.

I love the fighting in bleach and wouldn't mind of they dragged on for several episodes per fight.

The Ichimaru Gin part at the end was most likely the best part of this episode. He seriously rules!

:edit: just flicked through the episode parts again and gave a rough tally of the times. Around 12 mins of actual new story took place while the rest was recaps/op/ed

/sigh this is why I hate characters like Inoue. She'll will eventually come to believe that here friends have absolutely no chance of living unless she (arguably the weakest link) does something. Honestly.....could she possibly get anymore worthless !!

This will soon turn into a "we must save here from the people she willingly gave herself up to".......and that scares me.

Kinda dissapointed. I was expecting more action and less talky. Also those were the longest 11 seconds I've ever seen.

Hah, true that. I liked the segment between Ichigo and Grimmjow, but the rest was rather dull. I wish they'd hurry up and show off Urahara's abilities.

Anyway, if they stick any more filler in after this string of fights and plot development, I'll be tempted to stop watching the series for good.

QFT.

Seems like they're dragging the whole episode by showing lots of recaps. Hope this doesn't go back to Filler-land soon.

I don't dislike Inoue, but we're about to enter an era of her making some not-so-great decisions. *sigh*

/off-topic/ The current Ed theme (Daidai / Bitter Orange by chatmonchy) really annoys me for some reason -- it sounds whiny. =_= I sat through it entirely only thrice. ^^

Well i prefer the way they're putting the fillers to say that of naruto. Wouldn't want to go over a year without watching Bleach. Watching one every few weeks that has the story and skipping the others.

It's better than Naruto, but still pretty lame. I mean, seriously, like 2/3 of the show is crap filler, and even worse, they interject the characters from said filler into otherwise awesome battle scenes and such. I don't mind some filler between major story arcs, but Bleach is pretty ridiculous. All these long shounen series need to take a look at One Piece to see how filler should be done.

I totally agree with you. One Piece does fillers correctly, not to mention that they are actually pretty entertaining to watch. Bleach should take notes.

I wonder if Aizawa needs Inoue's abilities or boobs..

And btw, during the training, Ichigo was wearing a mask many times, and never was seriously tired, like at the fight with Grimmjow.. Maybe he just overdid it, used for longer than 11 seconds, thats why? :|

I don't think he used his bankai so much when he was training....

But yea, this episode definitely didn't meet my expectations. I literally fast forwarded the first 6 minutes before there was anything new. God I hate fillers. I wish they would just take a break from the anime, wait until the manga is ahead, and then start again. It would be sooo much better >.< But I'm just bitching.........
Anyhoo, I was happy to finally see the fight between Grimjow and Ichigo, even if it lasted more like 4 minutes rather than 11 seconds...lol (if they'd just shut up and fight, it would have been quicker =P) And I was uber happy to see Ulquiorra at the end, cuz he fricken rocks ^_^ And Inoue sucks, I hope they torture her to death -_-

all im seeing is too much bitching... for the past 100 episodes ppl just keep bitching between the manga and the anime blablablbla STFU already, we all get it youre cool because you read the manga... If you got nothing productive to say just hold your toung. Start speaking about the damn episode already...

....personally, i dont really care i like it regardless. I didnt pay alot of money for my computer to flip through a black and white picture book.

Inoue finally becoming useful and luppi needs to die fast and rukia needs to use her bankai soon and 11 seconds seems a little like 5 minutes but in anime universe a 30 minute show can = 65 seconds ^_^ ...a pretty exciting 65 seconds @ that

Meh, quit your bitching. =P The past 100 episodes sucked regardless of the manga. And they're obviously related since the anime is an adaptation of the manga.

Anyway, I'd love to see Rukia's bankai. And Urahara's as well. Those are two of the things I've been looking forward to the most ever since I saw Ichigo fight Byakuya in the Soul Society arc.

Not really. I didn't realize bankai was such an awesome thing until seeing Ichigo's and Byakuya's, and Urahara and Rukia are the two people whose bankais I'd like to see most.

I liked when the kiddy captain used his Bankai and the Arrancar just tossed him aside. Other than that the ep was a let down, I was really looking foward to seeing Urahara fight and he doesn't even arrive til the end.

i thoght the eps was good and i don''t care what u guys think also stop comparing the aples(the show) 2 oranges(the magma)
if u don't like the show then go read the mangma and stfu about the fillers fillers r a part of any anime so get over it also 11secs? wtf is the mater with u people do u rlly think thats its going 2 be 11secs of astcul viewing time? becuse if that was the case then the day would never end you can't rush great things they take time 2 build
theres 3 parts 2 a fight the prelude the climax and the end
we saw the prelude next ep will be the climax where all the action happens and i don't think any 1s said it but all shows r motvated by money so yes they will be drawn out 2 make more money

lol wut?

*carefully finds out the questions marks*

I don't remember fillers being a part of every anime i watched. I don't recall death note using them (although the manga was already complete when it started airing).

I assume you're reffering to mulderman i think he was merely implying an expression that you took too seriously? Unless i'm thinking of the wrong poster.

Things may take time to build but there is no reason to fill out half the episode with last weeks episode in terms of 'recaps' or some 'merry antic' that involves 'the gang' which finishes in one episode and has no effect on the plot whatsoever. Although i did find the Bounto arc quite good it was a nice change from the manga.

Actually i think i'll stick with...

lol wut?

lol, I already expected it to be portrayed that way. If they actually animated it to where Ichigo's mask was on for exactly 11 seconds, there wouldn't be much to animate anyways, and we would all be hella unsatisfied for not witnessing any epic-ness.

Anyways, I totally forgot about Ishida, had it not been for the recaps... LOL. Gomen, Ishida XD
