| Is it only me, who recognized, that the OP suggests, that Nel will grow up? {srry if yes... I don't have the willpower to read 6 pages of text...} |
| OP was better than the ep, but what can I expect? |
 ilu Mathes. thanks for awesome Beato sig. <3 ilu mah_marina. thanks for awesome Beato icon. <3 |
| that recap was dreadfully long. |
 |
| Quite the relaxing episode I liked this episode better than the fillers. Nice to see how they opened up the next fights. The OP and ending songs are great too and so is the animation for them! I really like the songs they're pure win! <3 |
| HEY! |
| their in deep shit !!! ... they're toasted man |
     |
| The new OP was awesome, the ED, um not as much. But both songs were great! Skipped the recap (except the Grimmjow parts lol) but the rest of the episode was good. I'm just glad it's back to manga-verse. |
 |
| Meh epic recap, though I had forgotten what happened at the end of the last arc. Nel punching Ichigo in the balls was lol, however the next episode looks to be more stalling with Szayel, Ishida and Renji. |
 |
| Recap bullsh*t then a bit of progression. |
 |
| "he's surprisingly strong for such a skinny guy"-ichigo seriously though...way too much recapin' |
| I liked the OP & ED |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Nel is the best :D |
| <img src="http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad294/Fumo7/Ani/signature3.png" border="0" /> Put your wishes into the memories you do not want to forget… |
| New op and ed was okay, but I loved the 8th opening best so far. Stupid recap episode except for the last five minutes. Nnortira (or however you spell it) is an ass for fighting Ichigo just after Ichigo was going all out with Grimmy. Nel part was funny :D |
| The OP and ED are pretty good. |
| New OP and ED are amazing. Way better than the last one. I just skipped the recap, but i can imagine if i had waited months of filler and not weeks then a recap woud have been nice, and adding new content at the end made the episode worth while. Bring on the good stuff! |
 |
| So apparently I took a break (At least 6 months) at just the right time since this was mostly a recap of stuff I wouldn't remember. I love when that happens. ^_^ |
| People always bad mouth the filler arcs, but they are much more enjoyable than watching an episode of recap. Hell they are often more enjoyable than the material from the manga. Completely unnecessary to recap to such extremes. Recapping is the worst kind of filler. It's all been done before. :P Pure laziness by the animators. And no doubt the small amount of new stuff will be included in the recap of the next episode. Hahahaha Pointless episode! |
| Man, Grimmjow... quit scaring me like that, I thought you were really going to die. I'm glad Ichigo saved him and I hope Grimmjow will learn from this experience. He lost and got saved by the same person. I want him to make an epic comeback someday and repay this debt while looking 10x more badass (if that's even possible). He still has room for a lot more development and I really want to see him team up with Ichigo someday. (Wishful thinking since they're my 2 favourite characters ^^) I'm a little fearful for Ichigo because if I remember correctly, he took 5 of Grimmjow's darts to the back and still didn't heal himself. Not to mention this Nnoitra guy is a real pest, he always sneaks up on people after a tough fight. Let's go! Renji and Ishida! |
 |
| I skipped through a shitload of fillers again, and too good I felt that I should skip 3/4 of this episode before wasting much time. Meh, a wild Noittora appeared. I wonder if this fight is gonna be any good considering Ichigo's state. |

| HD and 16:9. Just what a boy needed. Cool OP. I think I liked the previous one better but this one is good as well. Meh, basically this whole episode was just a huge recap. And another Espada fight. To be honest I'm getting quite sick of these fights, move on with the plot already. Meh ending, better than the previous one though. I never was a huge fan of Bleach endings (openings are awesome though!), only Soul Society arc endings were good. |
| So much for the filler arc I guess, well we got back where we ended and most of the episode was recap so well lets see what the story will give us now! |
 |
| Finally back to the this arc. That recap was far too long! Hey, Grimmjow was in it again, I thought the Bleach wikia said he didn't appear after episode 166 :/ Awesome episode. |
 |
| Man, that was a lengthy 4 to 5 months break, I can only say, the previous filler arc has surely worn me out. However, it's truly is nice to get back into Bleach. I really appreciate the recap content we got this episode, it only suited me the most as if it was made for my case, I had forgotten some minor details, of course, I really enjoyed it. And that's not talking about the extra content we got in the second half of the episode. I don't know how to feel about these raging Espada barging into fights one after the other, can't Ichigo and his group catch a breather? But then again, they were the ones to sneak into Hueco Mundo, that's what you get I guess. I don't know how to feel about the next Opening, it certainly hasn't left a so much good first impression, but I've noticed I can only love Bleach Openings regardless what my first impressions of them are. |
| Recap first half, because we just went through a filler arc obviously. Anyways, now that Espada 5 has joined the fray, Ichigo is pretty Ichidead now! |
 |
| Most of the episode was a recap, I watched Hueco Mundo part 1 like 1 week ago so it was kinda useless for me but I still watched it. The rest of the episode was good, nice to see the main story again |
 |
| I thought the recap was understandable considering that when this was airing viewers were coming back from a long time of unrelated episodes. They wanted to make sure the audience remembered what the heck was happening. It was like more than five months since the audience would have seen anything from this arc. That's a long ass time, so the recap makes sense. Also, most recap episodes I see make it so the whole episode is a recap, so at least we got new content at all. Hell, I've seen two recap episodes in a row before in another shounen. Anyway, what I actually came here to say was that the choice of audio for Nnoitra walking on the sand was weird. Just sounds like someone walking on wood with socks-- which is probably exactly what they did. Thought no one would notice. Walking on the sand has more of a crunch or a shuffle, not really a soft thud. Not even wet sand really makes that noise when you walk on it. Can't even start the arc back right without cutting corners somewhere, eh? |
| lol only the last 5 mins or so were new, rest was recap, still, Espada 5 is looking a bit tough for Ichigo rn.... |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| Long ass recap, but I get that when this was airing there would have been literal months of filler, but people couldn't have forgotten so much as to make the recap 16 minutes, right? I guess they were just trying to buy time instead of making another filler episode. Not much to say. Long recap, but now that we're back to the canon stuff. Back to HM!! We're gonna get some good action. Excited to see the upcoming stuff animated, hope it does the manga justice. I did quite like the new OP and ED. Especially the ED! |
  |
| Ahh, Hitohira no Hanabira. I've known this song for a long time but never knew it was an outro song of Bleach until this episode. |
| The line below is True. The line above is False. |
| Damn that was a long recap, grimmjow still doesn't wanna lose, number 5 shows up, number 8 hasn't lost yet, let's see how this goes |
| Finally OP 9 and ED 17 is here. Filler is over we are back again in Hueco Mundo but 15 minutes of Recap... Bruhh That was unnecessary isn't it? |
 |
| Recap aside, I do really like how it segues into the first canon widescreen moments. The way Ichigo is thrust into another battle with an even stronger Espada is so intense. I can't quite remember this part very well, but #5's bloodlust definitely gives me hollow Kenpachi vibes., |
 |
| Finally the best opening is finally here! Well for me it’s this and Alones. The ending was hilarious with lot of fourth wall breaking |
  |
| Lol yeah I skipped the fillers. Oh and most of the episode was recap(SKIP)... I wish Grimmjow was killed already |
| خ |
| Most of the episode was just a recap but still was fun to watch. It would also be interesting to watch the fight between Ichigo and Nnoitra. |
