I dunno...
This episode probably would have been a lot more badass if various fillers hadn't already regulated Gillians to the roll of cannon fodder.
REALLY? 10 more minutes of recap? FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK YOU!
The 4 minutes or so of actual action was good.
New ED is good.
Overall score = -200 for filling the time with shit consistently. The past two months could have been one episode with no story loss.
did anyone else have issues with the tracking and playing?
I tried it on several players and had issues.
that said, this episode sucked, it could have not happened and we could have just had next episode (hopefully) and it would have been better probably.
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills
yeah this episode pretty much sucked. By the time they finished recap and the Bleach half-way mark wallpaper came up, i was like fuck this.
This series is going to need a Bleach Kai at this rate. =(
So the Kubo cut of Bleach?
Something tells me it would only be a slight improvement...
I just watched all eps from 165 up to this point. I don't mind the fights. I found a lot of it entertaining. I especially liked the Ichigo Hollow conversion. But I think what's troubling me is that Ichigo has all this power locked away and can only be released when he's not in control. In other words, it's bad enough that he's not part of the main action, he's actually irrelevant to the whole story at this point because he cannot fight the top dogs.
I'll keep watching. Not sure why.
And what's up with the spoilers at the start of each episode? Every show I've seen this done was eventually cancelled.
Urahara's entrance is stealthy. Unfortunately, Aizen is just too powerful and sneaky.
