Good morning ladies and gentlemen! This stretch of good animation that we have enjoyed in the last couple of episodes should come to an end if we go by the sampling of animated sequence displayed in the preview for this episode. Are there any other fight that would warrant another very good animated episode? I would definitely love it if they put some effort to flesh out the fight between Barragan and Soi Fon. In fact, I will be delighted just to see Barragan getting up from his seat. The big booby arrancar's fight with the shouta is purely fanservice as far as myself is concerned. I also wonder if the old man will lend any hands to any other fight. Shunshui's fight with the #1 was pretty boring as much as it was shown. So what exactly are they going to focus on in this week's episode? If we go by the preview, the episode is going to be about the sideshows (Rukia, Renji, Chad, etc) disappointingly enough. Hopefully we will get some answers on Ichigo's newly found transformation once enough time is spent on the shinanigans of the side shows.
Enjoy the discussion by adhering to the spoiler rule that is in effect for anime-only threads. Absolutely no manga spoilers in any anime-only threads such as the weekly Episode Discussion threads. That means, no hints, or vague remarks about a future event from the manga, even within the spoiler tags. Inability to observe this rule will result in a BAN! |

Well the ep was a good 50/50 split of the bench warmer and action variety.
Ulquiorra/Orihime shippers are gonna love it. Sad to say but they stupidly replaced the Arrancar Encyclopedia with Quincy Encyclopedia. Like anyone gives a f&ck about Quincies. Guess Gin's gotta find himself another day job. Too bad, he was the best part of the show.

No we're not. Because Anime Ulquiorra is colder to Orihime than Manga Ulquiorra It actually kinda pisses us off. There is only one scene we're gonna squee over. |

besides, uruyu got some screen time these past few episodes. the arrancar ones will probably be back once the show goes back to karakura town.

Anyway just saw raw... Once again Renji got owned... well more exactly his bankai did... Looks like Yammy decided on different entrance... Shouldn't he have fallen on top of the tree? Kinda like Ichigo's hollow voice here, sure sounded a bit dramatic there. Bye bye Ulquiorra, we'll miss you. I wonder if I should bother with next two episodes... Since Halibel VS Hitsugaya surely is not my favourite battle... more like the worst ever. Even this one is far better for me. P.S. Looks like naimation was doen differently. at least it is the first time I see them handling flashbacks like that.

I also didn't get most of the hype surrounding this scene between Orihime and Ulqui. Orihime was seemingly suffering from some kind of Attention Disorder here. She is screaming Ichigo's name. Ichigo stabs Ishida. She is now screaming Ishida's name. And at the same time blaming herself for putting Ichigo into such state. And then she focuses all her attention to Ulqui as it became clear Ulqui is about to do the vanishing trick. She just didn't seem to have any time to linger on anyone for too long. I guess in the next episode she merely shakes her shoulder, followed by "Oh well!" and moves along. Better yet, the subject is never brought up, just like a foregone filler saga in Bleach. I mean, she didn't even make an attempt to heal Ulqui as he was crumbling away. It was still very touching to see Ulqui reach some kind of consternation when Orihime told him "you aren't scary." I liked Ulqui a lot, right up there with Grimjow. Grimjow, for his crazy, fun, and the abundant reckless energy he constantly projects while Ulqui is for his sheer calm and arrogance. He never doubted about his superiority and never failed to point out about the inferiority. Practical to the bitter end, but still clueless about the human heart. The episode did have some showing to speculate further on Ichigo's new found upgrade when the process to close the hole was followed through. Quincy Encylopedia was hilarious. Ishida's dad is holding Isshin responsible for Ishida's current state of affair at the hands of Ichigo. No one stabs his son. That's why Isshin had to go, "dokan." (boom) Ishhin actually said, "dokan" himself before the explosion.
