New OP and ED as well.

Quite a bit of filler in this ep.

I don't care if stuff is 'filler' or not as long as it is entertaining, but the episode was rather boring. And Ishida's new bow sucks. New OP and ED are nothing special either.

Yeah, I wish they would just put fillers in separate episodes instead of combining it with canon material, because then it often ruins the canon material.

I'm not a fan of the new OP or ED either. Meh.

Decent episode at best... Ishida's bow is interesting. It's cool how his bow can shoot 1200 arrows at onces though, sheesh.

Funny cap at the end of the episode

When you guys talk about fillers are you referring to the summaries at the beginning of every ep? Because other then the beginning the rest of the ep was not a filler. It's consistent with the manga now.

Liked the new op :) Asian Kung-Fu Generation <3
It was an ok episode, nothing special and kind of sloooow. Hopefully they are now done with the whole introduction of Ishida's and Chad's improved powers.

Love the new OP song, but the video behind it kinda sucks. Half the video is just fire and credits >.<

This episode pulled a DBZ on us. IE, think the DBZ episode where Goku and Piccolo could barely hold up a bus full of kids, even though they could probably have punched a planet in half. Thats what the slow motion running scene at the beginning and Chad having trouble stopping the boulder made me think of...

Ah, but you see, Hueco Mundo boulders are extra tough 8D

I like the new OP, and I didn't bother to watch the ED. Love the part where Ichigo bursts through the wall at Aizen, and his mask smashes.

The episode itself was alright. I kind of wish they'd just fight, instead of all the hideous chit-chat, though I guess that was justified with Ishida and Sado's new weapons.

+ Extra long tongue as a last resort? Pfft. They've had harder times battling Hollow's. That battle would have been awesome, had Sado fired his..fist beam (?) while stopping the giants fist. You know, shot a big hole right through his arm.

OH WELL.

I really liked the new opening, ending was rather boring as usual, i think id rather have happy people again -_-

Episode itself was good, i do have to agree about the slow motion running scene is a bit dumb, but i guess it makes sense since chad doesnt have any super fast moving ability, its not like ichigo and ishida are just gonna leave him behind. as for the boulder, note that he did it with his regular arm, so that was pure muscle that stopped the boulder. ah yes, and hueco mundo boulders are tuff xD that explaination works too.

If there was filler in this episode, I didn't notice it, and its been a long time since i read this chapter and i dont particularly care to go back and re-read it. for those just watching and not reading the manga, dont worry, this whole arc moves pretty slow regardless.

I dislike the op and the ed (hope they change it) I only liked the manga part on the op.
the episode itself was ok, very slow but now nothing compare to naruto ship. I liked how sado and ishida treated ichigo, ichigo made a lot of faces in this ep =O

Ya this was definitely a more comedyish ep than the normal fight scenes, I love A.K-F.G, but the video gave me mixed feelings, as in half the video behind it was credits with fire swirling behind, terrible transition between screens i think, i think the previous one was better in giving good scenes and such, the ed, it seems better then the previous one but im not too big on eds. I found the battle scenes to be somewhat of a lesser animation quallity and it seemed they used a lot of those whatcha-ma-call-it backgrounds that have all those 'action lines' for lack of the word, somewhat disappointed by this considering they had 2 weeks this time around, im a big ishida fan in case you haven't noticed ^^, and they made his bow look absolutely horrible compared to the manga ><, argh, better luck next ep . . .

Dibs on Ishida!

Usual pacing but it's not going to get any faster. This episode was entertaining. I liked Chad and Ishida, but also the Espada. We already know they aren't anything special but they're still putting up a good fight.

When we have a new OP/ED, expect it to be random stuff.

Thats the only part of the opening I liked too =/. The song is nice, but I duno...the opening itself sucked. Too much running and fire blazing.

In terms of the episode itself...I found it meh. Didn't really like Ishida's new bow and the fights seemed slow / lame.

I really liked the new OP a lot. The episode however ehh. Even though it wasn't filler it had a filler feel to the episode. To much half hearted "comedy" and crappy one liners. really did not like the episode at all. Would have gone with hate, but the OP and ending scene with vice-captain's family saved it =P

I'd like to know why people are complaining of filler :/

I just re-read the chapter and the only part that was any different was the booby-traps at the start. Other than that it was entirely canon. Even the one-liners.

Correct. I don't read the manga, but I read the Bleach 144 summary on an anime blog. Only the booby traps was filler.

It was a decent episode. Seeing Chad and Ishida fight for once is good. They could have beaten those weak arrancar by the end of the episode though. It doesn't hurt to speed things up even a little. The new OP was meh. The previous one was a lot better.

I liked the new opening... although they could have taken out some of the spiffy fire effects since it was really repetitive...

The episode was okay; we're moving into a new arc, really, so we're probably going to have to put up with the 'introductions of awesome new spiffiness' for a while, but it shouldn't last that long.

I actually rather liked when Chad and Ishida kept on pushing Ichigo out of the way. xD Ichigo is awesome, but so are Chad and Ishida - especially since they're not shinigami. It helps to remember that sometimes...

I didn't notice any major filler either... I should probably go back and read the manga...

The OP itself is ok, but the video is meh (but I loved Ichigo rushing towards Aizen-sama, his Vaizard mask breaking). The Ed theme is ok.

Good episode, we finally get to see Ichigo and Chad in a fight again. Lol, I really liked how they bumped Ichigo out of the way. XD Lol, it's like they're saying, "It's our time to shine! Butt off!" The fights itself could have been speeded up (didn't know Chad was that chatty at fights), but it was okay. Can't wait to see his arm level-up. ^^ Ishida's 1200 arrow-shooting bow is awesome.^^

I'm not a fan of the new opening. Probably the most boring in the series visually and the song isn't as catchy.

Hard to believe I started Bleach less than a month ago. Anyway I think the op is pretty good. I am a fan of AKFG. I didn't really like the end theme like most of the Bleach endings. The episode was fairly decent... I didn't really mind the filler stuff all that much.

I liked the episode, kinda. Bleach has set low standarts of entertainment anyway.

The thing that bugged me the most were the mistranslation of the Spanish attacks. Uña Tirotear and El Directo were translated as Tiger-Some-other-animal Claw and Giant's Attack. WTF?

(Their true name are translated to something like: Nail Shoot-out and The Direct/That which is Direct)

Anyone else get similar translations?
