    I suppose it wasn't absolutely terrible, but that was probably more due to very little happening in it than due to the quality of the content.

    Still, Yachiru was cute and funny. A really useful lieutenant for sure...

    Yeah.. this was actually mildly entertaining, and somewhat funny.

    Bleach episode 0

    I was reluctant to watch it b/c of its fillerness, but I actually quite enjoyed it.

    it was avery good intro episode but i thought that the filler arc is gonna be happening before season 1 but it was only 1 episode so i think the fillers will be single episodes with no arc till the end of that season

    This was actually good for a filler, and enjoyable.

    I really liked this too and I can't fathom why when I lay out the episodes contents on paper.

    Next episode though, I can tell you EXACTLY why I'm going to like it.

    To paraphrase, I didn't really like this episode and that's because of two main issues I had with it .

    First, it seemed like a rehash of stuff we've already seen. I remember in the manga there were two parts of Bleach chapter 0 which covered Renji finding out he was getting promoted and Rukia being assigned to the living world as well as something about Ichigo talking to ghosts. However I seem to recall that stuff being animated near the end of the Bount arc or something so I felt like half of this ep was essentially a fleshed out repeat of previosly aired material (Bleach isn't Haruhi and shouldn't try to act like it is).

    Second, it seemed like they wanted to make Mizuiro seem like an important and interesting character when he has effectively been dead weight for 227 episodes. I think he's supposed to be the Tsukkomi to complement Keigo's Boke ways but the entire cast is already Keigo's Tsukkomi so Mizuiro isn't really brinigng anything new or special to the table. He sometimes provides stimulus to make Keigo go more insane but it doesn't seem like Keigo actually needs Misuiro in order to go insane, he can just do it on his own and then one of the main cast members can shoot him down.

    That said, I am mildly interested in where they'll go from here. I had the idea that they could spin this into a 'what if Ichigo never met Rukia or what if Rukia met Ichigo but never got hurt to the point she needed to give him her powers' alternate retelling of the first season. I would actually be interested in seeing something like that.

    Lol, so bleach is a slice of life anime now? That was pretty enjoyable, even more so than recent non filler episodes

    And by the way, the next episode isn't filler ( not 100% anyway ) It's an adaptation of a special written by Kubo
