Animation is clean as fuck, and I like that they are not censuring the fights and they are as brutal as they were in the manga.

HOLY SHIT! THE ANIMATION IS OVERKILL.
Loved this episode.
Lol Pesche is voiced by Takehito who also does Dio and Takasugi and Quilge is Utsuro. Also, I can never unhear Sakamoto's voice in Urahara. I am currently watching Gintama and Bleach so can't get over it right now.
They increased the gore and no one can tell this is the same Bleach we used to watch.
I love how they changed the atmosphere to dark and depressing and they skipped few comedic scenes and used next to no music to manage the pacing of the show. The director is clearly serious about the show's pacing and it is very nice. It doesn't feel out of place. If the original Bleach had this kind of pacing...
Overall a Solid 5/5 episode.

I liked it, but why is Nel’s hair a different color? Wasn’t it like a lighter blue instead of green before?

That's Mandella effect lol. It's definitely green.

Just looked it up..I’m actually in shock right now..and confused..

is it just me or the bleach has lost its comedic sense. like there not even a funny ost anymore. plus from the first episode until the second one the karakura town feels like a dead town to me.

They made it look more grim and depressing matching the dark atmosphere of this arc. I'd say this is an extremely great choice. Plus they even skipped few comedic scenes to stabilize the pacing of the show.

I like the opening song, and RIP Sasakibe

yoo Nel is back again, I haven't seen Nel in a long time, as usual her behavior is very funny and cute.

Another fantastic Bleach episode.

The gore surprised me, but it demonstrates how evil Yhwach is, killing not only his enemies but also his comrades.

It was upsetting to see Ichigo and his friends learn of Tadaoki Sasakibe's death. It was also heartbreaking to witness his funeral. He was kneeling to his captain, Genrysai Shigekuni, in an emotional gesture.

Despite the depressing elements, we did get to see the return of the goat, Urahara, and Nel.

This is a WAR arc.
War and 'funny' don't go well together, although there are little comic relief moments in this episode, with Nel and Pesche.

You're probably going to love the battle between Renji vs Mask de Masculine tho.

True, the theme is indeed war but it wouldn't change bleach as a whole you know, like the scene where nel closed ichigo's eyes are comedic relief. This shows that even the theme arc is war, it doesn't need to be serious all the time. This is shonen after all.

My point is i kinda felt strange when the gag did not followed by a funky ost lmao just like this one https://youtu.be/C7NJ7IaGjYM

I have a question,why in sasakibes funeral, in the Manga byakuya talks about him and he's achievements and stuff, in the eps the only word was "light the fire" from yamamoto, what happened to that speech about him?

Also yhwach scene with jugram when talking about ebrens medallion, there was so meny changes like yhwach's position and he's respond

+the op was great but to much spoilers
Either then that the eps gets 5/5

But with these problems I'd give it a 4, also that yhwach scene could've used better animation

The opening and ending song got me hype

It’s wonderful to see Urahara again. I wasn’t expecting Sasakibe to die, but he was at least able to tell them about some of the enemy’s power. I love how they’re showing everything. Censorship won’t be easy for this season. And our girl, Nel, has returned!! It was a fantastic episode. I can hardly wait for the next one.

However paired to that, they are omitting some bits of extra info that, albeit not really necessary, kinda made for a bigger impact for Sasakibe's death (like the little exchange between Byakuya and Renji during the funeral talking about how much this is affecting Genryuusai). Another one that was unfortunately not present is Ishida's speculation that they may have sent the novice shinigami to Karakura on purpose in order to keep Ichigo informed and have him help in case things went very wrong.

All of which are not essential, but kinda still are cool bits of info and food for thought, but hey, nothing that actually damages anything, and they only have 4 cours for 20+ volumes.

Thanks for that information. I think that is kind of impt actually, especially for we anime onlys. I've speculating on why they sent novice shinigami and had the same thought.

no worries regarding the first part about Yamamoto. Cant spoil ofcourse, so thats all I will say.

Such a great episode! The OST was amazing, like I think it's top quality OST! Also I liked the Opie charactter, he seems much more interesting than in the manga, where he was portrayed a bit differently. Overall, everything is amazing!!! It will be a great arc!

i pointed at reddit and ill write the same here. so let me point the only negative one..the rest are top notch. Pace. It doesnt look like bleach and the scenes dont make empathise with the characters. They change so fast, it is so rushed. They miss details which made love bleach.i cannot even comprehend one scene and they go to another.Havent seen a anime fight faster than sternitter j against the 3 hannibel girls . Showing 2 scenes with the captains out of blue.. Probably the manga wasnt written very well. I wished they made it like 60 episodes so each scene would have a feel. So many things happened at once. I hope Ichigo vs Quilge has its moments

They are still as good as ever!!! Both the Op and Ed. Although I like the Op more, Op > Ed. And hey we get to see Nel, Pesche and Kisuke after so long!!! It's great to see them all again!! And yeah it's pretty much clear now that it's none other than the quincys who are the enemies. Overall this was a good episode!!!
