New Opening : "Velonica" by Aqua Timez ( Again )
New Ending
First part was a recap since Ichigo fights against Ulquiora & Grimmjow
Second part was the continuation of the story.

I liked the new OP and the new ED was okay. I just hated the 15 minutes of recap.

So far I have only watched the opening and I love it. Aqua Timez is now one of my favorite bands <3
Though I am a little sad that NOT EVEN ONE espada is shown in the opening :<

it wouldn't be bleach without op + ending + recap + funny thing at the end > time on story. anyway I'm looking forward to the rest of the hueco mundo story finally. at least the ichigo action, the szayel fight drags on so much

Pmuch. But hey, the new OP/ED are pretty awesome, I was pretty happy with ALONES and Velonica basically delivers. No idea who did the ED, but I like it(EDIT:"Hitorira no Hanabira" by Stereo Pony) . The recap can't hurt those who don't pay a whole ton of attention either.

I just hope they don't drag out Szayel too much here, I'm DYING to see the Turn Back the Pendulum stuff animated. I mean, really what all do they have to do?


...that's a lot more than I thought when put in text, but truth be told you can stack a couple of em together into an episode, so whatever. Bring on the Pendulum!

Oh, and poor Kon :( He needs his attention.

The OP and ED are pretty good this time around. I'm dreading the Szayel vs Renji/Ishida fight though. That fight was so long in the manga... who knows how long it'll be in the anime. x_X

Anyone know why there where sidebars? Bleach does broadcast in HD widescreen right?

As for the content, I think I will go reread the manga really quick to get a handle on where things are gonna go, but I sincerely hope that 5 minutes of story doesn't become a normal thing. I also wanted to know why the scenes in the new OP and ED were so repetitive. Just characters and no real scenes from the anime. I thought that was a little strange.

i think the sidebars were just there for the 16 minutes of recap, i really dont know why but they stuck them in for the recap and then they poofed after the recap was over


As for the OP i noticed that too, but what i also noticed was a few parts of the OP kinda spoiled a future event so i was like -_-'

i've read the manga, and anyone else who has as well probabaly knows what i'm talking about, but for any anime onyl watchers that one clip in the OP might have spoiled something if they noticed it

I honestly just let the video run the first 15 minutes in the background when I saw it was a recap. Didn't expect it to be as long as it was though. What was new I did like though, what little of it there was. Nice op/end too. I'm just happy to see Nel again. :3

Well, skipped the first 15 minutes after reading this thread earlier today. I haven't seen Bleach in a while, (avoided latest filler arc) but I don't need a 15 minute long reminder of what has happened recently in Hueco Mundo.

Although, it looks like the pacing has picked up, and by looking at the next ep preview, the next few episodes are really going to be quite entertaining. New OP was good (except for that one obvious spoiler in the video), new ED was crap (than again I dislike all the ED's except for 2 of them).

Wow, that was a hell of a recap!
But kind of good to see some scenes again, if they left that out i think that it would be kind of confusing.
Yay Nnoitora-action! I'm looking forward to see this animated.
Nice Opening, VERY nice Ending!
And I really love these hints they gave us in the Shinigami Cup-thing XD You know, about Hana coming up soon ^^
Cant wait for the next episode!

I didn't mind the recap. I actually didn't even catch on that it was all that long. Since I skipped all the filler it wasn't all that necessary, but it's actually been how long since I watched 167 so it was still nice.
Not a fan of the OP, but the ED was rather catchy. The only part I didn't like was the very end where you see Ichigo's big mouth gaping open in an attempt to smile. He looks like he's trying to smile while fighting off a yawn.
I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

Personally I don't mind fillers, but a 16 minute long recap is quite anoying and not nescessary at all.

The only good point of this episode was the OP, that reveals an older Nel, so hopefully she won't be as anoying for long...

Yeah could have definitely done without the huge recap, they could have put that into a 5 minute section then it would have been better. Just finally happy that we are back to the main story line.
