I'd say. She was naked for all of 66

Terrible animation. Even though the story and game, as well as the hallway incident were good, the animation made me feel like this is going to be like Naruto.

[Sirch]

This episode was fairly entertaining but also frustrating.

Why didn't Ichigo just ask each of them questions only the real person would know.

Ichigo: "Hey Chado; who gave you that necklace that you value above all else?"
Chado: "Um... i dunno"

Bingo fake found out in 10 seconds. Ishida uses his brain to figure out the last game then shuts it off in this one.


Also, maybe someone could fill me in to why Soi Fong just randomly came up and kicked a window then ran away?? Don't tell me she knew somehow that the broken glass would scare the imposter.

There were a few good comedy parts so that was good and thank the Lord that they toned down the girls laughing.

[NoSanninWa]

It was an annoying episode. They could have found out the impostor in so many ways. Application of Ichigo's medalion on everyone and check who pops out a pill. Asking each person a question that only they know the answer to. And of course my solution: I figured that the impostor was the only one whose dialogue was non-existent. (I know Chad is the strong and silent type, but he practically turned mute this episode.)

As for Soi Fong shattering the glass, I haven't any clue why she did that. I suspect that Soi Fong and Youruichi are up to something on the roof and the glass was just broken by accident. I don't know why Soul Society has gone silent either. Perhaps both these mysteries will be solved in the next episode.

[Novarain]

Actually i thought the imposter was Ishida... He was talking TOO MUCH to be him... and i don't think he's a believer in using intuition either...

Yeah i'm glad this filler arc's gonna be over... i was actually hoping for it to be less serious, less irritating and more humourous.... kinda like the first 10+ eps but i'm not gonna pass judgement till i see the next arc.

[eLcHaKeTeRo]

i thought that Ichigo couls also use the spirit threads to see if all the "real" people were there......can they just kill those 3 already?

[defrule]

These games are getting annoying.

Funny stuff....

Spoiler:

OMGWTFBBQ, that's so cute!
Ukitake still treating Hitsugaya like a kid. (Even though Ukitake IS more than 2000 years Hitsugaya's senior. xD )
That really made my day.

But didn't the SS Female Association sub-arc get forgotton? Maybe it'll be mentioned again in future Shinigami Golden sections. I was kind of looking forward to what crazy ideas the Female Association president Yachiru would come up with. (It's probably her that came up with Soul Candy and the funky animal names like Chappy in place of the more sombre "Gikongan". )

On the episode itself, I also thought Ichigo could have had it easier by just asking personal questions the imposter could not know the answer to. As for Rin Rin being annoying, I don't feel that way at all, she's kinda cute to me.

[Radiosity]

Well, I feel fully justified in all my negative comments on this 'filler' arc (I've stopped calling it 'original story arc' now, it doesn't deserve the title). Plot = suck. Bad guys = suck. RinRin = DIE you annoying little bint. I skipped through the entire episode, I found it that excruciatingly paintful to watch. A brief glimpse of the lovely Soifon and the Shinigami Cup Golden were the only two good things in this episode IMHO.

Overall opinion of this episode: It sucked like a toothless man confronted with a bag of humbugs. However, since the next ep seems to have some more SS action, even if it's a small amount, I will download it just for that (I can hope for RinRin to die a horrible death as well of course ).

Then please don't watch Bleach anime from now on.

For those who dislike the way the Bleach anime fillers are going to, please don't watch the shows. Keep your complains and comments to yourself. Keep posted with the news threads and skip these fillers episodes until the 'manga' story is picked up.

Save yourself the breath and memory space. I am not impressed with people who complain about the fillers and still end up still downloading the fillers to watch.

Reread the Bleach mangas and memorize them .....that should keep you preoccupied with the same story and humor in them.

[Komataguri]

I think some of you people are just to damn cynical [ which is saying ALOT coming from me, the fountain which all cynicism flows from ]


It was a fun, entertaining episode. It ain't naruto, stop comparing it to that, and just shut the hell up and god damn enjoy it. If you think it sucks so hard than just fucking stop watching it, For christ sake.

[Guido]

Regardless of everyone's negative comments for this arc, I actually enjoy these games.

The intruders want to play with the minds of our heroes to doubt about themselves, to confuse them, to expose their frailties and weaknesses, and to wear them down.

This psychological taxing endeavor makes for an effective strategy approach.

For episode 67, the theme of the school game meant if-the-person-right-next-to-me-is-who-he/she-seems-to-be-?

Frequently it worked as mostly Inoue, Ichigo, and Renji took out the bait.

The music as always is thrilling, jittering, psychotic-esque, always to listen over and over.

Do you recall a previous post of mine in the previous episode's thread?

Spoiler:

Since Ririn, Cloud, and Nova were discovered to be Mod Souls, I'm postulating a brand-new theory.

What if they happen to be Mod Souls created by somebody else?

Information about the Mod Soul project that leaked from Soul Society to another party.

I wonder if Ririn and her comrades are in fact test-type Mod Souls to measure the abilities and psychological profiles of Ichigo and his companions.
Makes sense with all the games that they are upholding.

Our three intruders have not yet made remarks about Shinigami or Soul Society either.
Cloud (in Chad's disguise) did not point out Soi Fong as a Shinigami rather a very, strong woman.

Agreed. I think the critics are expecting too much from the fillers, which are not meant to outshine the real story in the 1st place anyway.

[Guido]

For the people who are complaining and bitQ$%ng about the filler episodes, may I ask you all a question.

If you're that extremely negative about them, then why do you watch them?

Wouldn't be better if you just skipped them for as long as they last and on the meantime following the manga?

On-Topic

This week's Bleach joke was Chizuru's remark observing, along with the rest of the class, Ichigo trying to strip Renji..... (off his gigai)

Spoiler:

The Forbidden Love -- Kindan no Ai--

Chizuru says all expectant and blushy.

I couldn't stop myself from laughing that I started to cough nastily.

I wonder if a healthy lesbian like Chizuru adores and enjoys to read yaoi manga and all kinds of stuff related to yaoi?

Either that or she wants to accost badly Inoue the same way as she mistakingly thought Ichigo was accosting Renji?

[asam_laksa]

One thing I like about these fillers is they emphasize more on Ichigo's school and family life. I thought SS arc was boring with only fights and fights, Ichigo racing and competing with other shinigamis who stand in his way, while Rukia waits in the white tower.

But with the fillers, I get to see my other favourite characters, for instance KEIGO!! Tatsuki, Mizuiro and the other girls (the one with short hair and the other with long hair....don't really know the names). And the humors they have.....certainly more than an average SS arc episode, especially after Ichigo's fight with Kenpachi.

It doesn't matter with the quality of the animations (I think Orihime looked very ugly here and Ichigo very deformed).....but the laughs, make me look forward to it every tuesday and wednesdays.

The humor in Bleach is what attracted me first. Shinigamis and hollows.....weren't something that I would look for first in choosing what anime to watch.

agreed. this spoiled brat needs some serious bankaispanking. i just dont get it why ichigo and renji are playing every stupid game they come up with.

Well, my excuse is, as I said, I'm a whore. I'd like all the johns to be handsome young men in their twenties, but I have to service the fat slobby 40 year olds, too. Their payoff is just as good.

Such as the Gigai scene you mentioned.

And I'm still hopeful that Ririn is being portrayed in such an obnoxious fashion so that we don't feel bad when Ichigo inevitably puts her in her place.

(Woo for the grossly extended analogy!)

[Okami Joe]

I loved this Filler, so i just don't get why some people even consider to compare it with Naruto Fillers.
There's Fanservice. There's Humor. Good Artwork & Animation. As for the Story, it's not as good as it could be, but it's good enough to keep people interested.
All those things mentioned before, are what the average Naruto Filler is missing, IMO.

But enough of that, the reason i'm posting is because i noticed something interesting:
Does anyone of you know the Yu Yu Hakusho series?
At a certain point, Yu Yu Hakusho had a couple of Fillers, taking place after the second arc, and starting with Episode 67!

Here's a short summary:

- Three guys with supernatural powers appeared and took the main character as a hostage
- The remaining 4 main characters are searching for him as they were lured into a house of "illusions"
- They are forced to play games according to certain rules, otherwise their friend would be killed
- Each one of them entered different rooms at the same time to find theirselves in a some kind of maze, which appeared to have no exit
- After clearing the maze, the enemy stated that one of the 4 saviours is fake, faked up by one of the enemies, who got the special ability to copy a person
- They were forced to find the imposter within a time limit, otherwise the caught one would be killed

Pretty interesting, huh?
Coincidence?

....well, not really.

Because of one major reason: Yu Yu Hakusho was directed Noriyuki Abe, the very same person that is directing Bleach since the beginning!!!

But it makes me think... are the scriptwriters so out of ideas, to produce fillers that are that similar to those of former hit series?

this is a bleach episode discussion thread, people are free to share their opinions on whether they like what their seeing or not. Just because a filler is bad, doesn't mean that the whole show is bad.
