| But the filler stuff turned out quite well this time. The episode had a really fine quality animation, so it was a pleasure watching. |
| Oh finally, we've reached the Turn Back The Pendulum. I've been waiting for this to be animated since it was in the manga. I'm just glad to have the Vizards, Urahara and Yoruichi back. Easily my favorite characters in Bleach. Far better than the current (Vice)Captains. The only Vizard missing now is Hachi, but he'll be showing up shortly. Honestly, I don't mind if there's a little filler added around here, either. On the Bleach timeline, this is the strongest part outside of the initial Soul Society arcs.  ^ Pretty damned awesome, if I do say so myself. |

| I loved this episode. It really brings you back to the good ol bleach days... where blood splatters everywhere.. .and what not. I liked it very much. =D -refers to bloody nose- |
 |
| Ahhh finally. The Pendulum arc. This is going to get exciting. Minor spoilers on captain/vaizard rankings during this time period: |

| Hilarious episode, looking forward to "The Pendulum Arc" |
 |
| I've been waiting forever for this arc to be animated. I can't express how excited I am for this. Even with all the random extra stuff. |

| very good stuff. music fit nicely and the animation was fluid. |

Even with spoiler tags, it says so right in the OP. Thanks. Also, please do not quote such spoiler posts, just report and move on. :) Yo, I don't mean to be riding someone's ass, but put some spoilers on that stuff. This IS an anime post after all. Some people don't read the manga. *shrug* |

"I'd suck you~" Berri||Desu Ne? |
| i realy weant to read start reading the manga again now after reading all those comments, but watching it is just so much easyer. onlt thing is ive read upto CP3 in the manga... |
 |
| AMAZING episode. I really liked how they added stuff in about Urahara and Yoruichi and Soifon. THATS how a filler should be done. Good job. very entertaining. Of course the manga storyline is gunna be awesome animated. I can't wait. I really like this arc.. and I want to be able to understand it better and watch it in motion/color. PIMP! bleach is back on traaack! |
| Kyahahaa Soi Fon became a stalker XDDDD Phew finally the Pendulum Arc started! And like many other said I don't mind little extra added on it. Oh how I missed fights between Shinji and Hiyori ;D |
 |
| it seems that this arc is going to be intersting .. i enjoyed this episode since i got to see Urahara and Yoruichi. would be awesome if there was some kick-ass scenes next episode .. |

Oh how I missed fights between Shinji and Hiyori ;D The Soi Fon stalking and fights between Shinji and Hiyori were awesome! When Urahara went into the deserters building, did anyone notice how Soi Fon was standing with the bamboo? Haha, cracked me up. It's always good to see extra bits with Shunsui and Ukitake. Especially when they were talking about Unohana and then she appeared, "How about we disucss it in my private quaters" lol. Good episode! |
 |
| yay! finally the turn back the pendulum arc is being animated! good epi. |
| ~Friendship is so sweet that it can cause tooth decay~ ~Respect the losers, cause without them, there'll be no winners~ |
| Nice, I loved the turn back the pendulum arc in the manga. I was getting tired of all the boring fights |
 |
| Next time, Shinigami Golden Cup will be replaced by Substitute Shinigami Work Diary, featuring Rukia's amazing drawings. and this is actually a good filler compared to the other ones. but expect a lot more fillers to cover up the entire pendulum arc. my guess is at least a season-worth of pendulum episodes (24+ episodes) |
| It's weird to see Soi Fon behaving different than.. her usual xD |
| Yes finally back to the manga storyline and Pendulum arc XD It was good that added some addition parts along with what was going on in the manga - like Byakuya's grandfather being introduced earlier. cant wait for the next episode |

| This was an interesting episode. I haven't read the manga yet so I am looking forward to this arc. |

They are my fav bleach characters ^_^ 5/5 |
| I'm waiting to see some new kicking-ass zanpakutou and bankai :D Pendulum arc ftw :D |
| Look forward to learning about the past and how everyone was before considering I never read the manga :D. |

| Nice, loved it , finally a splendid bleach arc again eh :D Looking forward seeing the rest of this arc, haha the captains back then were so non-serious compared to Aizen, Kenpachi , Byakuya etc haha :p Urahara <3 |
| That was a pretty good episode, nice seeing some faces that haven't been shown in a while. |
| I hate to have that to admit, but... Good filler. |
 |
Amazing episode! Love this arc! & also we get a bonus at the end... Yay! |

| The Pendulum Arc begins, yeah!!! People this is not a filler so dont think that okay!!! This was a great episode, Urahara becoming a Captain, seeing Sasuke playing the role of the shy correct Vice-Captain... Cant wait for next week. ^^ |
| Not bad. I had a problem with a couple of characterizations, but any arc I can watch Kisuke is better than anything with Ichigo et. all by default. |
| Man haven't been this excited for a Bleach episode in a long time. Plus most of my favorite characters are in it. |
 |
| Very good episode indeed ^_^ |
| Decent episode. Just really didn't grip me at all. I'd like so SEE Kiseke do something, and the whole Soi Fon stalking thing really didn't do it for me. Ah well, it's still better than Football Cup. |
 |
| Not bad. Had me a good laugh on Soifon. |

|
| I liked this episode, but it did kind of drag on for me not being a manga reader, this leads me to believe there will be a filler like the Bount one after this because Bleach apparently is so close to the manga so i am told. If you want to reply to me PM me instead thank you! |
| Not bad not bad, I kinda enjoyed it. |
 |
| KYAAA!!! this arc is really good.. XD i like this part better than the hueco mundo arc.. XP |
... =_=     |
| This was admittedly a really good episode. It's the first episode in a very, very long time to have me actually wanting the episode to last longer. Haha, that's how sad it is. It was also an episode where it ended before I even knew it ended. Simply put, it didn't drag on at all for me and it was actually at a very nice pace. Kisuke was just awesome in this episode. What's more, I love how everybody knows everybody else. Haha, they're either childhood friends or they've just known each other for a very long time. And since Bleach started, you get the idea of them knowing each other but it's only now where they actually give us some insight on just how things started out. And I can't wait for them to show Byakuya back then. :] |
 |
| LOL.. just like Yoruichi to misunderstand Soifon. |

| ooh so they've started the pendulm/minus chapters arc =D, nice to see it animated ^^ |
Somebody said: Kirky said: It's always good to see extra bits with Shunsui and Ukitake. Especially when they were talking about Unohana and then she appeared Hehehe, nice one! Ukitake's face! Bless. She can be pretty scary when she wants to be. nehnehneji said: Bakayaro said: Lol, I thought so too! ^^^ Pretty damned awesome, if I do say so myself.

But I liked the additional material that was incorporated, Soifon :P You've just hit the nail on the head with me nehnehneji, because - I wanted to catch up with the manga to be current. You know so I would know what's going on, but on second thoughts, I think that I prefer watching the anime without knowing what's going on, then reading the manga after to see what they added/missed out and whatnot. xD darkxdestiny said: Wasabi said: Ahhh finally.

Minor spoilers on captain/vaizard rankings during this time period: You might have forgotten the pink-haired girl who came with Kenpachi when he joined the Protection Squad. Yachiru-chan! But I think as someone said, Wasabi methinks, that Kenpachi is just a title. Which I think also refers to the the white haired Vizard. I think that he was also know as Kenpachi. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. We saw him in the preview of next week so I guess we'll find out. I really did like this episode, has kind of a nostalgic vibe. I think I've nodded and agreed with everything that's been posted on this thread. :) I look forward to more! |
