Damn, felt bad for Yamamoto ....especially with his lieutenant gone. Even those short glimpses of them together was sad.

The story Pesche told to Ichigo and his friends was kinda terrifying. Still, seeing characters like him and Nel bought back a lot of nostalgia. This episode really isn't holding back to show how brutal the Wandenreich are. Once again, I am quite impressed on what was shown this episode.

Nel is so freaking adorable. I missed her so much. She's still so small and adorable. And, her Itsigo always gets me. And, I love how Ichigo still treats her like a child. That's cute. Aside from that, the Quincy King is brutal AF. Sasakibe... :'( Vueco Mundo is in trouble. Also, Hannibel is not looking good.

Man... no censorship does feel good. Great to see Urahara back. He looks fine as ever. LOL. The OP was good but I prefer the ED a little bit more. Excited for the next episode.

Man Yhwach is super savage, nevermind the enemies, he's blowing away his own comrades like it's the most fun thing in the world. Also hey always use present tense when talking to him, because this man absolutely loathes anything concerned with the future.

Plenty of old faces making their return, though not going to lie it's Urahara with his age old impeccable timing to barge in a conversation took the cake. Ichigo's in Hueco Mundo and things about to go bonkers in Soul society. Peak Hype.

Okay opening and ending, though it's the visuals making their presence feel. Pierrot doing some unusual good work a sight for sore eyes.

AMAZING EPISODE!
I love the OPED! Never heard anything from SennaRin before. Has that Hiroyuki Sawano touch you can clearly hear. Tatsuya Kitani is one of my favorites.

Opening song is great and Ending song is good as well, visuals are beautiful!

Yhwach doesn't give a damn about these arrancars, he only care about Quincies. Yamamoto & his lieutenant silent farewell was heart breaking, anime did an amazing job. Urahara is back!
J is here, and he defeated the sisters easily! Now we will have ichigo vs J in next episode.

Nel & pesce being funny as always!

Another stellar episode with great pacing.

We got up to half of 488. Everything flew by with eye candy all over the place.

A lot of hidden spoilers in the OP most people who didn't read the arc won't get, like, stuff for muuuuch later haha

Another easy 5/5

What a great episode, really enjoyed seeing the Tres Bestias going ham on a bunch of the quincy soldiers completely uncensored. The tone of this new Thousand Year Blood War season has been incredible so far, really happy with how they are adapting this arc! And great to see Urahara again! And the OP is fantastic!

Direction was excellent.

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.

The Quincy King is beyond brutal and absolutely insane.
Great re-introduction to Hueco Mundo. I had forgotten about Nel and her Itsygo loving self.

Sasakibe's funeral seemed too short. Poor Genryuusai! He lost his ENTIRE squad. That's gotta hurt something fierce. I wouldn't want to be in the area when he goes for his revenge.

Thanks for that information. I found it enlightening and think it is somewhat important especially for we anime onlys. I speculated on why they sent novice shinigami's to Katakura Town from the beginning and thought it was to keep Ichigo informed. I was also kind of worried about Genryuusai.

There was one awkward little transition in the second half of the episode but the rest of the episode was well directed for the most part, some nice shots, usage and restraint even when it comes to music, and animation and storyboarding for most of the episode. Got some nostalgia seeing some old characters again too, alongside Hueco Mundo being showcased again, albeit in a brutal situation with Harribel in big trouble after being captured by Yhwach. Opening and ending songs aren't Bleach's best if you look at all the songs from the original anime compared to these newer ones and maybe a tad underwhelming because of that (Rapport last week was awesome though for the special ED), but they aren't too bad either.

Overall, this episode was nothing special but it was decent enough to watch to continue from the previous week while building the conflicts and build to war with the Soul Reapers and the Quincies. Yhwach looks intimidating here, which is nice and the bloodiness and lack of censorship here is a good touch too. Pacing was good too, feels way more watchable so far than most of Bleach when it comes purely to pacing.

OP and ED are nice

nice to see Nel and Urahara again

the Quincy King vs Halibel was a nice added filler

there it is the Quincies are the final enemy and Orihime really got bigger boobs now

What I didn't like

-The visuals for the opening wasn't good in my opinion. I liked the way they colored in the Bleach Thousand year Blood War logo, but everything else for the visuals I didn't like.
-The passageway to enter Hueco Mundo was so werid and unfamiliar.
-There were some places that could have used better attention to detail during the Hueco Mundo part
-The beginning, and ending to the ending of the episode had a werid audio cut with a few seconds of black screen.

What I did like

-All the new stuff
- and everything else that I didn't mention as a didn't like.

I know that we should be grateful for what we got, but those were my issues with this episode.

loved seeing the faces and hearing the voice of so many characters, specially Kisuke Urahara, one of the most intelligent and resourceful characters.

and damn that OP and ED were so good.
Also loved the slight spoilers in the OP.

So the weak link, the OP. With somewhat a lack of flair expected from the song of a Bleach OP, in my opinion.

Nel appearing brought a little brightness to the mostly dark episode.

Like, the thing is, it's not really ever confirmed iirc, just heavily implied even in the anime, except without Ishida's directly addressing that it may just be the case. So if you especulated as much, that already means it's not something that couldn't get trimmed, aka, non-essential. Still was nice to have it spelled outright, since it's always a cool extra showing Ishida did consider as much.

As for Sasakibe's funeral, there was some little trivia during the exchange with Renji talking about how it was the first time he used his bankai and how strong and important to Genryuusai he was, but then again, it's not exactly essential overall, you can surely see how devastated the poor old man look, and the other info was just trivia, about him, that made the impact a bit heavier.

Other than those two scenes, the only thing they trimmed was some little bits of comedy that I actually think it was a good idea to take away, since they were a little bit of mood-whiplashes in the scenes they were in (particularly the ringtone with the novice shinigami's senpai's voice (which made her blush) when, well, the atmosphere was supposed to be more somber and talk about the hundreds of dead shinigamis lol).

Another fantastic episode. Nice to see more familiar faces returning like Urahara and the Squad Captains. More top tier animation during the action sequences as well. And shout out to Tatsuya Kitani for another banger with that OP song.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Quilge epic as expected. The voice actor delivered him perfectly and the fight of the Jagdarmee against the Tres Bestias was better than what I thought it would be since it wasn't anything major, just some supporting characters against mooks. Hope his fight against Ichigo ends being epic.

It's been two episode and i feel like bleach has lost it comedic sense. Yes, there are some smol portion of gags but it doesn't even had the funny ost anymore :(

Plus the Karakura town felt dead af like there is not even a single pedestrian in town. i know it doesn't effect the story and all but it just felt odd.
