Who else noticed the amazing Hitsugaya animation in the beginning of the ep?

I just hated the part where ichigo came in right before Hitsugaya and Maki began to fight. I loved how since Hitsugaya barely even knew ichigo, like they didn't really get to know each other like ichigo did with many other captains. To Hitsu, ichigo was just another ryoka who had to be cut down, but then was allowed to leave, and had a HUGE reputation. So when ichigo just randomly showed up, I loved Hitsu's expression when he was like "ICHIGO?" and then they had to ruin it by making ichigos face horribly animated, and then making it sound like they knew each other.

But other than that, pretty good episode.
