Bleach 129

The fact that there was a little kid added all of a sudden is like holding up a giant sign saying "this is going to be a crappy filler!" It's pretty much the universal symbol of awful filler. The annoying kid. He's be completely uselees, and he'll cry alot, and everything about his story will suck.

And yeah, those fight scenes were awful. Half the time they actually cut away from the arrancar getting hit by a weapon. I thought I was watching Toonami all of a sudden. So far, Bounto arc was way better filler than this.

Looks like they might be borrowing Naruto filler writers and animators. The story line is so obvious and lame. The animation looks like Speed Racer.

lol, well apparently someone liked this episode because i got neg rep'ed for saying i didn't like it. I'd love to hear what made the episode good, so please tell me mystery guy. I won't neg rep you back, i'm just honestly curious about the goodness i'm not seeing.

ya know, Crash, if the little colored button next to the indicated repped post is Gray or Dark Gray, then that person's rep hit doesn't count. If it's red, then it actually counted against you. Just letting ya know.

I thought the episode was pretty shoddy. The animation (Speed Racer-esque indeed) just fell flat apart from the first minute, and I found myself constantly wanting to just exit and delete the file. The filler kid's strong facade from the previous episode collapses, and in typical filler fashion (Darth's post is spot-on about this), we get his teary-eyed angst about his useless little story... I didn't feel any emotion, aside from annoyance, while watching this episode.

i'll just scan the next episode, I don't think it'll be worth watching the whole thing.

I didnt like this episode as well. It just goes on and on and on. Is there an ending to this or what? Hopefully, next week will end this.

All I can say about this episode is boring. I was tired as hell when I watched it so I didn't pick up on the animation quality and didn't really judge the dialog, but from near the beginning (right after the first Haineko release) till the credits played I was continually thinking to myself, why am I watching this? The one thing I thought might make it interesting was when the sister ran off b/c I thought that maybe somehow she was actually the Hollow and was controlling the others, but then she just ended up chillin in the park...WTF? I thought the Bleach people realized that conflicts with mindless monsters generally made for BAD episodes. Who can say they ever enjoyed an ep of Bleach that featured generic mindless hollows that just ran around and screamed. This filler hollows only difference is that it's a mindless Arrancar that runs around screaming, not engaging at all.

To me, the elements of this episode got predictable before it was animated. I honestly could have done without it. I am starting to really wonder if they are going to go to a full fledged filler arc. I sincerely hope they don't, but I will not rule out the possibility.
