Best anime moment: I'm afraid to say that for the anime i dont really have the huge surprises storyline wise because i have read the manga, so for me basically any moment where the animation quality is high. Eg. Grimm v Ichi fight, ikkaku fight.
Special mention to the moment when the main team stepped into HM leaving the mod souls behind 8)
Worst anime moment: Any scene with mod souls.
Best manga moment:
Worst manga moment:
Spoiler for manga:
Everytime szayel releases a new ability. Whether it be his hour long clothes changing feats, mazes, carnivorous habits, release, clones, puppets, viruses, phoenixes or whatever random contraption he came up with.
When the 4 captains appeared. Yes, it was one of the best moments, but when i think of it, it was IMO a uninspired way to continue the story. The fact that we spend a year having the main team fight the espadas and the captains come in and finish the job in 1 month, it just makes the whole year seem like a waste of time. While i welcome the captains, their arrival just seems like a rushed attempt to quickly finish the fights because kubo cant be bothered / has run out of ideas to continue his current fights.
