Oh god, why did Nel's VA not use an adult voice. I wanted to puke when I heard it. Myself;Yourself nightmares all over again.
They picked a good VA for the kiddy-Nel, but they really slipped it up when they were going for the 2-fer of kiddy and adult.
VA aside, I thought it was a great episode. Adult Nel kicks ass (literally). It was pretty pathetic seeing Ichigo get kicked around for the first half of the episode... but, at least we didn't have to sit through any clone fights (nope, that comes next episode it seems). Nel's transformation was a bit underwhelming though. It was kinda like... *poof*, she's back. But, all in all, a good episode imo.
It's dangerous to go alone. Take Nep.
This episode amazed me. I could've done without the beginning half, but the 2nd half after she turned back into an Espada was fucking awesome. And the hugging part was really humorous too. I'm really looking forward to seeing Nel more in action and maybe her zanpakutou release.
Did anyone else notice that Nel's tits are bout twice the size of Inoue's? I mean holy shit... boob fetish! I can just see the hentai coming out now...
As for the previews, well, I expect the clone fight to be proper length and a less lame ending than with Naruto. Bleach is kicking Naruto's ass by a long mile.
Seriously, if this episode had ended at the halfway mark, it would have probably been the worst episode ever.
Ichigo attacks Noitra, gets knocked away, Noitra walks over to finish Nel, Ichigo jumps back into to stop him. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. REPEAT. And just to clinch in up, a fucking flashback montage of Nel annoyance. Why the fuck would anyone need that shit refreshed in their mind?!
Thank god for the second half though. It was tits. Literally. That voice is really gonna hinder masturbation though.

Voice sucked, animation sucked. Bleach, has now reached Naruto Filler level.
nice episode but about the voice it would be better if it was alittle more adult.
God i'm pissed!
I like Nel, she's one of my favourite characters on bleach and they present her true form with the shittiest animation work i have ever seen.
Seriously i can't believe they did such a great work animating that fucking filler arc that came from hell just to get sloppy when the story starts getting interesting.
These mainstream animes just keep getting worse everyday ( with the exception of one piece ), maybe they should just stop watching them in japan to show those retarded anime directors that they can't get away with shit like this.
I watched it after reading the comments here about her voice and thought to myself.. "It can't be _that_ bad..?"
It was.
Respect the joindate, not the postcount ;P
It's not so much that it's bad, its that...its the same. It's perfect for little kid. It's retarded on a grown up.
I am glad though that Noitra didn't get killed really easy though. Even though I was like, "Aw shit!" when I saw Nel's was number 3, as the episode progressed I was thinking, "Yeah, but she's one of the former espada, like one of the Privarion Espada that everyone was beating in the beginning of this arc. She's not going to be as strong as the current number 3, and might actually be fairly low compared to the current Espada."
And then Noitra pretty much says all that at the end of the episode.
It's weird though, I used to think that there were originally 10 espada, and then, when Aizen came, he created 10 new arrancar that defeated the old espada, and those that didn't die became the Privarion Espada.
But since Noitra said him beating Nel and kicking her out happened years ago, I guess that means that most of the current Espada have been around for awhile, and maybe only a few of them were created by Aizen, and those that used to be in the top ten, but got pushed out, became the privarions.

Her voice sounds fine to me. Not sure what type of voice you all want to hear, a deep manly voice..?
Well... remember the Shinigami are kinda 'old'... So Aizen himself must have entered Hueco Mundo much before than when he betrayed Soul Society. He himself could have created all those Arrancar long ago.Originally Posted by DarthEnder
And like Luppi replaced Grimmjaw temporarily... they replaced Nel after she 'left'
Maybe a voice not fitting for an 8 year old?
That voice was... interesting, to say the least.
This episode was pretty good, except for some lack of details (like Nnoitra's wounds disappearing). Now we have the many different colored Ceros! Yellow for Nnoitra and pink for Nel! How many more colors will they think of next?
Anyways, I was thinking about Pesche and Dondochakka. Since Pesche refers to Nel as "Nel-sama" and recognizes this "nostalgic" Spirit Force, does that mean that they were once part of her Fracción? I could be wrong, but the way they said it could mean something like that.
Gold is the King Cero (I forget the name but think this is right..) thing, the one only Espada can use. Grimjow used it during his fight with Ichigo.
I agree, I'm sure they were her subordinates.Anyways, I was thinking about Pesche and Dondochakka.

I could be wrong, but the way they said it could mean something like that.
Cero colors seem to be pretty much unique to each Espada, same as how they're fired off. Ulquiorra fires with one finger, Nel uses her mouth (insert dirty connotation here), Grimmjow can use it with a closed fist... and the list goes on.
In regards to Pesche and Dondochakka being Fraccion, I have a feeling they may be popping out with powers of their own now that Nel has gone back to being an Espada.
And as for the Privaron Espada and current Espada argument, I think that the Privaron Espada were exactly as they say, Espada who lost their rank because someone stronger came along. Aizen didn't have to create all of them, some may have evolved on their own to be stronger. It seems that the Hougyoku just enables the free creation of an Arrancar rather than the Arrancar creating itself by removing its mask. So, if that is true, the Arrancar that Aizen creates are not necessarily stronger than any other Arrancar. Which would mean that the Privaron Espada were just simply beaten out. The only advantage to the Hougyoku version of Arrancar is that I assume Aizen can create them at will instead of waiting for a natural occurence, and also that he can pick Hollow with abilities or strength that he wants (which would be how he creates "stronger" Espada) and convert selectively AKA picking the cream of the crop.
This theory is supported by the explanation given by Toushirou when he first explained the ranks of the Menos. Gillian, Adjuchas, and Vasto Lorde. He said "if Aizen brought XX number of Vasto Lordes under his control, Soul Society is finished". That would indicate that Aizen still has to find the Vasto Lordes, and convert them into Arrancar on his own. That also indicates that the Menos power level carries on when the Menos is converted to an Arrancar, therefore if Aizen converts Gillian and Adjuchas, he gets simply Arrancar. If he converts someone of a Vasto Lorde level, he'd almost instantly have an Espada.
So I wrote a bit in circles but I think you guys get the point. Anime watchers generally are better at picking up details...
Hahaha, lol. Yeah right.
Anyway I agree with you. For the most part it seems that the majority of the arrancars were there long before Aizen come along. I think I remember some arrancar mentioning something about having to subjugate themselves to a shinigami, their natural enemy, or something like that. As for what the Hogyoku can and can't do, you have to remember that it isn't fully awakened yet and it won't be very powerful until it is.
I think I'll jump back into Bleach. Now that the fillers are over there has been some good discussion going on in these threads, and thats what I'm here for.
Dreaming impossible dreams.
Sapphire is awesome!
Has Aizen "experimented" on himself or Gin/Tousen in regards to hollow abilities? Or has it been said...
