What's the best animated episode in Bleach ?
After watching ep.121 , I wonder if the animation quality is better than those of SS arc . Can 121 beat all other in this aspect ?
If not , could you please state your best epi. in terms of VISUAL quality ? |

My vote is for the episode where Ulquiorra and Yami show up and then Ichigo(and later Kisuke/Yoruichi). The number of frames being used in the fight sequences has to be higher than any previous episode. Course there is always death note 25, if anyone wants to see the best animation in any non movie anime ever

I dont know why but I didnt like the animation in 121 that much. Maybe because i felt some scenes could have been made much better...
As for my favourites... maybe 58 or ichigo's first encounter with renji+byakuya Quote:

SS arc's animation at-times was as bad if not worse than the eps all those Bounto arc haters clammer about...Ichigo vs. Byakuya while probably having the best intensity and atmosphere is not even close to best animated or visual fight ep in this anime (I remember feeling like it's good but it could have been drawn so much better)...For best animated fight episode (can't recall exact numbers) that I can think of off the cuff, I'd go with
Ikkaku vs. Ichigo (This episode I remember there being a visual intimacy to that fight I loved). Ichigo vs. Kisuke (The training fight between the two during Ichi's flashback when fighting Renji in SS--That whole ep was drawn good) Ishida vs. Mayuri (Mayuri's soul slayer and Ishida's wicked blue energy made me notice, overall great visual ep) Ichigo vs. Grimmjow Jaggerjack (aka the guy who was punching the $hit out of him--By far the best hand-drawn stuff to date--The imperfections in Grimm's face and movements tell the story that only a few can understand when I say "imperfection" ) Ichigo vs. Head Bounto (Final Fight episode--Ya see I forgot his name^^ Yeah the Bounto arc ended rather average and this fight didn't have much soul to it but, visually it was superb in it's animation)

I kind of liked Ishida vs Yoshi (Bount) to be honest, I thought that was the most active and aggressive fight Ishida had fought. Vs Mayuri it was a lot of standing around and teleporting, whereas vs Yoshi alot of the transition scenes, the dodging, was animated, not to mention he let some automatic arrowfire off!
SS arc didn't have the greatest animation, true, because they were going more for image quality. The reason was, if most of the characters can't fight equally with their opponents, what's there to animate? Just guys getting nuked by shunpo. So you focus on image quality. Bount arc had better animation because some of the fights were more full-body, but the IQ was horrible at times (no manga images/cells to draw transitions from). Bount arc 95+ had much improved image quality though. The biggest difference in the fillers has to be the music though, other than 98 (Kenpachi fight) most of the music was horrendously corny. Right now the music is really carrying the Arrancar arc as the the IQ/animation flip flops. |

A lot of 105 was amazing too. No major battle, but the scene that begins with the shot of Seretei in the morning is full of shadows and light sources that looks almost film quality. This leads into Rao'Tao confronting Kariya with a kido gun. This entire scene's overall quality (animation, image quality) might be the highest quality (IMO) in Bleach so far.
