Ahahaha! wow! what an episode, Kira really did kick Kazeshini's ass. And The Beast is B-A-C-K..!!! can't wait to see the next episode. The real strong man is now on, with or without a Zanpaktou... ^_^
Quality I loved it that suzumebachi is a bit like yachiru and then she cussed soi fon about the way she acts around Yoruchi. Now that Kenpachi is back this fight is over he will just blow through everything
I guess the main excitement in this episode was the appearance of Kenpachi!!! I love Zaraki Kenpachi as i always eager to know his Bankai (or at least his Zanpakutos Name!)
Wahaha so excited! I can't stop giggling!!!
and yeah, Wabisuke is damn cool too!!! Hooray for Wabisuke!!!
First: How long is this filler going to go for?
I could understand if they used a new opening from the beginning, but I thought it would be wrapped up with 4 or 5 more eps. Bleach usually has a new opening every 30 eps and I didn't see anything other than Zanpakuto in this one so I'm worried. How long until we see Ichigo vs Ulquiorra?
Second: Sorry to say that I don't really like the new intro. The song's too mellow for all the action that's taken place so far. I don't care too much about endings although the last one was great.
Third: I don't know if anyone else noticed but it looks to me like they upped the level of animation this ep. Especially during Yumichika's fight, great shading.
Fourth: The action was great. Soi Fong and Kira especially. I'm gonna have to say that they both impressed me. Soi Fong always seemed like one of the weeker captains to me but the speed and strength on display really made me believe that she should be a captain. And Kira always annoyed me with his Wabiske spiel every fight, but he's so much more awesome without it.
Fifth: Anyone who has wondered about my sig can have part of it explained with two words: Zaraki Kenpatchi. He's on the scene. He's laughing. Let his epicness own!
