Liked the episode. I think Uliqiourra is in love with Inoue and lol at all the bodies in Ichigo's closet.

Okay episode. I liked the OP, i didnt think the animation was bad, just a different style. I thought it was kind of bond sexy, with the Rangiku, orihime and rukia shilouttes walking was sexy and i like their lip-synching and dancing. it was different. I hated the titled scene shifts, they were so unnecessary and frustrating, i dont believe they ever used them before, why now. I guess they were just dragging this episode out.

The opening was weird and the ending was stupid, nothing happened during the episode except sealing away Aizen and Ichigo vs Uquiorra

Back to the main storyline!
Can't say i thought much of the OP and ED. Still (ish) images worked in the last OP but really not in this one. The song feels a bit down in places too, upbeat songs tend to work better for OPs. xD

I really liked the song and images. Rukia, Orihime and Rangiku dancing were beautiful as well.
And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be...

It was cute to see Rukia dancing ^^. Orihime... yeah you better dance, that's what you're here for right?

Yama-ji just went crazy with Ryuujin Jakka. For a second I thought he was going to wipe out everyone except Aizen,Tousen,Gin and Espada. Well, temporarily trapping the 3 works too.

Loved that fight with the extermination squad. Everyone got involved and we got to see Rukia and Renji again. ^^

Ulquoirra doesn't seem all that evil to me. I think he's just sad or something. Oh well, Ichigo has arrived and is ready for round 2.

So many battles... Let's go!

Yamamoto is a monster. His flames were even able to trap Aizen.

Looks like Ichigo made it to Ulquiorra. Their fight should be epic.

Worst opening in Bleach so far. Like wtf? I liked every opening so much, I was addicted to them and this one is just... not good. Ending isn't great either...

But anyway... this ep was meh. I hoped that they will show the fight in Karakura, while this episode was just basically Ichigo flying to this tower and Ulquiorra talking with Orihime. Whatever, let's watch the next one!

Yay! I love the OP which I already knew because it was by Scandal but I didn't know it was on Bleach! They are my fave Japanese band <3

Cool new ED too.

Finally back to HM and stuff. Awww, Orihime is so sweet! she really cares about her friends!

Ichigo literally popped up at the end!

The flame as well!

pardon, what did i just watch..?

Mayuri, as a man of science, are you conducting some sort of social experiment during the OP or what the hell is this supposed to mean X_x'
I like to comment Episodes as i Watch them.

Very good episode because it's a change of pace. Recently, it's been a lot of filler, or all about the soul society, or a lot of boring fights that dragged on. About damn time we get a plot-centric episode about our main characters. Also great new ending theme, and a beautiful new animation style. Can't wait to see more of it

New opening... I can't say for sure, it's hard to decide from the first time, unless it's super good, which is rarely the case, but I can get used to this.
I like how it doesn't show too much if any, I'd like all of the major fights to remain a surprise until the end.
That was a lengthy conversation between Ulquiorra and Orihime, and honestly not that neede,d they already have had a lot of conversation like that, saying the same thing over and over again. Why even bother.
The hype is too real, the head captain showed some real feat, trapping Aizen in that fire, that was impressive, although, I bet Aizen could have easily encountered it, you can see it in his face.
I hope it's in this arc where we get to know the top 3 strongest Espada, and I can't wait for the Visards to join the fights, especially for the captains to see them face to face, and please don't forget to involve Urahara in battle this time, I really want to see him in some serious action.
I feel kind of sad that Ichigo is going to miss a lot of great battles along with the others in Hueco Mundo, I hope they get to join in at a certain point, and of course, Uryu's father and Isshin as well.

Ichigo can now fly xD

But seriously, there are way too many flashbacks. It ruined the hype of the episode a little
