Was it just me or was the animation in this episode way better than normal? Great episode. Grimjow vs Ichigo was the best fight scene in a long time even though it was most just Ichigo getting his ass kicked.

i loved the new opening... way too much spoilers though

and the fighting scene was just awesome... i was hoping that the hollow ichigo would show up somehow.... but well that might just ruin the storyline.

Twas... Woah. Felt short to me, but I think it was because of Ichigo getting his ass kicked... Keigo's sister was amusing too...

Honestly, I didn't really like the opening's music... But that's just me, probably will get used to it... eventually.

Holy crap! I haven't seen fight cinematography that good in the longest time (I'm talking about over 10 years ago with lots of Dragonball elements found in the Ichigo vs. Grimmjow fight via the theme of power and devastation being emphasized)! Yeah, I just love the new animation, it fit perfectly with the action in this episode. I really like the new opening and endings as well. LOL, Soi Fong in that dress, priceless!

I was thinking "Get on with it already!" when she showed up... Though it was amusing...

Kon also looks sorta funny when he sings... xD;

New opening and ending rock. Catchy tunes for sure. Kon ftw. :D

Great fight scene. Definitely felt like DBZ pwnage. I love how Grimmjow had his "speed burst" through the air. Kinda like Mach 1 and breaking through the sound barrier. DBZ days own. :)

Like x0x0 said, I wanted ichigo's hollow to show up too. His hollow woulda owned Grimmjow. :)

Um, Keigo's sister scene went on for about 2 minutes too long.

Great, I'm not the only one who thought the show was better-looking than usual. I thought I might be losing it hehe. Anyway, I wonder what brought about the change?

As for the opening, it's definitely growing on me. Rolling Star is still my favorite, but it was about time for a change.

agree'D

Kon is annoying, pointless, and stupid. He has little plot relevance and he isnt even funny.

I dunno, he's had a few entertaining moments.

Besides, every character in the show can't be awesome hehe. Beyond Kurotsuchi, there aren't too many that aren't at least fairly cool.

Yeah... he was great at first... but they're overdoing the whole "neeeee-chaaannn" thing... and it's getting annoying... It's so bad for me, that I just hear his voice and I cringe... Honestly, the only "modified soul" of the 4 that I actually do like is Nova...

I thought the blood looked really weird. Call it better quality if you will, but it shined way too much for my liking...

Keigo's sister was pretty funny at first, but then it felt filler like and way too long.

Why do all the fights for Matsumoto, Renji and Hitsugaya end really quick and yet we have to watch Ichigo get wacked about loads again.
The punching in the face scene was well done though.

The best fight in a long time. Grimmjow is getting better and better. I hope this little rebellion against Aizen will bring out his role in the story more. He better be important later on, he's too good to waste as an everyday powerful villain.

I felt bad for Ichigo in the end (especially since I was rooting for Grimmjow LoL), he accepted his loss and realized his own weakness. I hope this will help him grow. That OST always gets me.

Grimmjow vs Ichigo was a great fight. Just like others mentioned the animation has improved a lot. I'm also really liking the new ost that played while Ichigo was getting beaten by Grimmjow. It matched the scene really well. Looks like it's going to be tough for Ichigo to overcome this phase.

I thought the limit release would make the fight more interesting but they beat them in an instant. Well that's ok I guess.

Damn even though it was one-sided that fight was intense. I hope Ururu survives

Awesome episode!!!

Grimmjow punching Ichigo repeatedly, wow!!!! Lol. He's so insane but insanely hot. I like when he has a crazy look on his face lol.

Epic battle. sad Grimmjow got taken away for being naughty lol.

Cool new songs too. But I'll miss seeing Rangiku jump on Hitsugaya from the last opening, so cute.

Honestly this is my favorite part in the episode. it was so irrelevant. Ikkaku shoujo version lol.



I wanted the hollow to take over Ichigo this time. I want to see a heated battle of madness.

I liked the fight with Byakuya and the scene which stopped my heart beat was when Aizen stopped Ichigo's bankai with mere 2 fingers.
