As expected from this arc, it's pure win xD Of course, I watched it raw and understood only things described in manga =( Waiting for subbed!!!

Holy hell how boring can you get?
It was mostly Hiyori yelling and hitting at Urahara for 20 minutes. What the hell.

This I'd also have to agree with, but I mean it set's up a good starting point for the following episodes :P.

I was thinking of watching just this story arc (since the pacing in the manga was acceptable, even for Bleach standards), but after reading the negative comments on this thread, shying away seems to be the way to go. =/

Oh so this wasnt a filler? Seemed like one because the manga didnt have so many boring moments, i am not even sure if this episode was in the manga. :/

What bothers me is that improvements are easy done right now since the show is very crappy. So what's keeping them back from making it at least a little more interesting?

most of it was in the manga, its just that they added filler to get one episode out of like onr chapter

Well it's pretty obvious they'd need to stick in some fillers to get to the "ZOMG THE MAGGOT'S NEST" part. I'm expecting next week's episode to end with "ZOMG THEY WENT THERE TO SEE

I think I agree here. Hiyori pisses me off just watching her get nuts at stuff. If I was Urahara i'd give her a good ass kicking.

It's because they make a 20-minutes episode of about 30 manga pages =(

I think they're going to cover 2 chapters instead of 1 due to the next episode title


Btw,this episode is not that bad. At least I enjoy it. Next episode should be interesting.

Wow, I'm really liking these turn back the pendulum episodes. I'm glad I chose not to read this part in the manga. It's nice just to watch the plot develop without any fighting as well and it's a nice break from Bleach's usual pace. Also, damn Shinji is badass. Aizen was a shady guy right from the start, eh.

I liked it. It's always interesting to observe personalities of the characters. And it's really refreshing to watch something more human, than just pure fighting.
All the characters in this anime are absolutely beautiful, and i'm not talking about the looks.
Nice episode, wasn't bored at all.

I thought it was funny too, mainly because Urahara is indeed awesome!! Watching his easy going self deal with Hiyori, gotta feel a sorry for him. ^^;

But tbh Shinji stole the episode at the end... too much win!! :D

First of all, this was an awesome episode. It's not filler (only added stuff, which I think actually improved the storytelling from the manga version). And secondly, this arc is mainly for character development and background. You finally see the real Urahara, Hiyori, Shinji, and many more characters personalities develop. I can't wait to see...

After 206, I was kinda hoping that this would be a little better than it actually was... Seemed a little inconsequential really in some aspects (those who mentioned it being pretty much Hiyori shouting at Urahara: Right on.)
Although, that being said, Urahara in large quantities is enough to make me easily smile until the next ep xD Getting to see the Vizard crew in an old school form was greatly enjoyable also (Even though Hiyori needs a swift kick in the face....)

Love the fact that Aizen has been an utterly sneaky f*cker since way back when too, the end part with Shinji was so fabulously amusing. Can't wait for the next one.

I practically liked this ep. I dislike Urahara's slow speech but that makes me like him more nonetheless xD I admit it felt kind of dragging but for someone who doesn't read the manga it was pretty okay... 3/5.

I couldn't agree more, it's a nice laid-back episode with promise of good and bad things up ahead.

His nose bled when she punched him but a kick in the crotch hurt her so much she was scared of repeating it? Either Urahara has strange taste in underwear or he's far more badass than anyone expected.

While I miss the intense pacing from the manga, I'm a bit tired of all the fighting and it's nice to see the other parts of the Bleach universe for a change. I've already seen the plot in the manga anyway, so I'm happy with all the stuff the animators are adding.

I think it's the strange taste in underwear ;)

I haven't read any manga past the entrance to Hueco Mondo, so it's kinda nice watching it but not knowing whats going on. I did wanna catch up at one point, but I like reading the chapters after watching it.

I liked this episode, it was alright. It kind of got bit reptitive with Uruhara and that girl, but hey if thats what you gotta do to stop Bleach from getting too close with the Manga so be it. I just hope there is no filler arc after this because I will be pissed. I want to see the winter battle as soon as possible lol. If only the animation during the fights gets good I will be one Exstatic Bleach fan!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I'd have to agree. Hiyori is cool and all, but it just got annoying. Urahara is something special to deal with her. The best part was when she kicked him in the groin and when Shinji revealed Aizen lurking in the shadows, that was really cool.
