Bleach 201 Episode Discussion Thread

[monir]

To all the Bleach-fans every where in the world: Happy New Year!!!!!

Hello everyone. This week's episode promises to be good as indicated in the preview. Kenpachi had an evil grin after getting hit, so of course, the anticipation level for the episode is extremely high. And the loli was licking her chops! Disturbing and at the same time, somewhat..... <no, I won't finish that sentence>. So who is excited?

Have fun discussing.

If Kenpachi beats Norita...I'm gonna be like, wtf? But already I know Kenpachi is gonna kick Norita's a$$ cuz the good guys always win...

[Jays]

I'm interested to see this episode, I hope the animation team pulls in a winning effort!

[Spectacular_Insanity]

This is gonna be epic, I just know it.

[stonedzombie]

Awesome ep.

Spoiler:

Whole ep was fighting between Norita and Kenpachi. Turns out Kenpachi has been rusty due to not fighting for a while and thats why he wasn't able to cut him. After Kenpachi starts cutting up Norita up and down and then cuts Norita's sword in half, he has no choice but to release his zanbaktou and gain like 4 arms. Ep ends with Norita gaining yet another arm and impaling Kenpachi with it.....

Can't wait till next week!

An episode tarted with extreme manliness or more like extreme madness without any sort of intellect..Where did my arrogant Byakuya go

[tensashinigami]

I'm going to hope the animation team will put up effort to create this epic battle between Kenpachi and Nnoitra.

[Zu Ra]

In about 15 minutes I am going to watch the episodes .Considering last week's break hope its good or lot of heads will roll : )

The animation was okay, nothing special though.

[Langus]

A decent ep. I kind of laughed at the part where

Spoiler for minor spoiler:

Noi's arm grew back and just started waving around while he was talking.

Other than that though, it was pretty solid. I'll watch it again when the sub is released.

four moving arms must be pretty hard to animate
Pity this team doesnt get next episode too, they did well enough

You won't have a team of animators work on 2 episodes in a row, since animating an episode takes a lot of time. There are 8 teams of animators that alternates on episodes.

Great EP.

Spoiler for episode:

Noi's release was done well and i thought they used a very fitting Sound FX for Ken Blocking The Cero. All in All a Great ep. That i have been dieing to see Animated Cense Manga

[King Lycan]

Spoiler for Kenpachi:

Ha, ha, that so reminds me of this!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xw4aPG0Jc6M

This show needs some madness and manliness to get things going again!! Can't wait to see the episode and get my Ken-chan fix later.

[Kankel]

Love the episode, the best part for me was the background music they use during Noi's release, it was epic!! Love that kind of music..

Noi's release itself was also awesome.Dare I say better than Grimmjow's.

[Bassoonicmayhem]

Hm, the animation could have been a lot better for the total epic-ness of this episode, and at some points Yachiru looked really cute and little like she is and then most of the times she looked... disporpotional... and slightly older than how her character is usually drawn out.

I'd give it a 6 out 10.

[WONDERMIKE]

ha, I knew they would change this scene,.. oh well, the rest was brilliant though

They can imply that Noitara gets stabbed through the face (yeah I know he didnt really but it was implied) but they wont show his arm getting ripped off.
Its a shame
