| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Finally a nice episode. Some action, nice music, Neriel past, and the new ED looks nice althogh I liked the previous song more. Sent with Mal Updater |
| I have to lol at the massive spoilers in the ED but I guess that's fine since they're going into the Pendulum arc right after the next episode or so. |
 |
| This episode was really boring, even with the fights imo. What's with Bleach lately, or even the whole series in itself >< What's with the LONG freaking recaps!? This episode, why the hell did they replay like the last 5 minutes of the previous episode in it. Doesn't make sense to me, so stupid !! Just hope the next arc isn't as boring, and less recaps as possible, sigh~ |
 |
| Great fight! I like the flashbacks of Nnoitora's past, learn more about Nel's past. |
| Signature Here. |
| I hope they don't add another filler arc because it's catching up to the manga quite fast. Though I'm pretty sure that the Turn Back the Pendulum Arc will take up alot of episodes. |
| wewt for the greatest spoilers ever in the ED song.. yea like said.. getting really tired of the recaps next arc pweaseeee |
    |
| yes, wayyy too many recaps and slow motion things too |
 |
| why did they have to loop that scene? flashbacks? geh, this whole show was a big waste of time. im not weak...waaaa slash i'm dead goodbye cruel world! that's the whole episode in a nutshell. |
| the ending was very spoilerific but i don't think it compares to d-grayman's endings. they basically told you the whole damn story lol |
 |
| Why do I even come here anymore? So much complaining T____T That was a great episode, animation and all. I'm a little surprised they made the ending so spoiler-ish, but that arc isn't too far away. I also can't wait for the next episode~ :3 |
 |
| AWWWW!!! Poor wittle baby Nnoitora feews bad beacaws ewewybowdy pitys him. LAME! This fight best be done. |
| i like nells voice when shes old :) |
| The pacing is a bit bad, but the entire episode was worth watching just to finally see Kenpachi and his whole "Hey, did you know when you swing a sword with both hands it becomes much stronger?" bit. I've re-watched a good portion of the series since reading this part in the manga, and yeah, Kenpachi never once used a two-handed swing before now. |
| I noticed that the anime is rapidly catching up to the manga. In the future fillers will be very probable. But that's to be expected. The new arc will fly by, in my opinion. However, I'm curious to see what these two filler episodes will be. I hope its more about Ichigo's sisters or something not touched upon in the manga much. Nothing too stupid tho. krazywrath said: yes, wayyy too many recaps and slow motion things too Personally, I like the recaps... because I tend to forget what happened in the last episode... so it doesn't bother me... plus all those 5 minute recaps add up and with like... 4 of those, boom... that's one filler episode out of the way. Do the math... KEEP THE RECAPS... LESS ON THE FILLER. Pacing however... is a little bit slow. Oh well, it's Bleach. Very much like Naruto in that sense. This is my question... why do they start the anime so early if they know it's gunna catch up to the manga so quickly? Shouldn't they have waited like a year or two... or make spread out seasons instead of an on-going show all year? I mean... yeah i love watching it... but the fillers and pacing severely cut away from the awesome manga storyline... and its so nice to see the manga animated... it just sucks... but that's the way it is. |
kyox69 said: Incoming Fillers. But not an ark. just 2 episodes. 204/205 will be fillers. then they start the turn back the pendulum(sp?) ark. Yeah, I checked Wikipedia for Bleach Episode list. But that might change, because when I looked at that a few weeks ago the episode titles (which are now different) suggested that the Turn Back the Pendulum was going to start in this episode! |
 |
| Good episode but to much recapping >.< |
 |
| I'm glad he's finished, clearly the most annoying Espada member. |
| Good episode but was indeed a bit slow pace and all. I was kinda disappointed too in how much Zaraki's 2hand style was used.... only that one ''attack''. I don't like those kinda attacks either , with just some reiatsu flying about, wanna see the sword clash with the body no , not some energy stuff |
| So the one thing that really annoyed me about this episode was how Kenpachi's sleeves kept appearing, and disappearing on a regular basis. He clearly loses them during the battle, but then suddenly they're back, or one is, or both are, or the other one is, or none are. WTF? Keep it consistent dammit. Decent episode. Pacing isn't too bad; keeping up with the manga. Next week's will be good. Can't say I'm looking forward to the filler though. |
| I reject your reality, and substitute my own. |
| well , the best thing(for me) about this ep is that the fight finally ended. |
 |
zhiying123 said: well , the best thing(for me) about this ep is that the fight finally ended. Same here. I've seen enough of Nnoitra for now. |
| Nice episode, loved the music especially in this one:P Recaps are annoying, but I have got used to it. Something that really annoyed me, was the animation. It is really turning crappy:-/. So the two next episodes are gonna be random fillers huh:\? |
| Good episode - so the battle has been concluded.. im looking forward to the upcoming episodes, been waiting for this part since reading the manga XD really like the new ending - good soundtrack, through a spoiler for people who dont read the manga >.> |

| Totally loved it! I loved the part when Nnoitra was finally falling and his eyes met Nel's the motions were good the effects and the music kinda put you into the action |

| Just a load of crap again, lol. |
| it's just like Kenpachi that 'holding the sword in two hands makes you stronger' is a revelation. Also, fairly badass for Nnoitra to hold his two halves together with one arm so he can keep fighting. Good end to the fight, even though it took a while getting there. |
noteDhero said: AWWWW!!! Poor wittle baby Nnoitora feews bad beacaws ewewybowdy pitys him. LAME! This fight best be done. My thought exactly... why on earth did they try to make us feel pity for him right when he was able to die. That's why I prefer Naruto Shippuuden... no mercy to the enemy. ^_^ |

| Pretty good ep, but... Am I the only person that is really annoyed by the music in this season? |
| I've been annoyed by most all of the music except for Ichigo's comeback theme. But this season is very uninspired and stereotypical, and out of step with the series as a whole. |
| I liked it, but it wasn't somethin awesome. Maybe I liked it cuz they show part of Nel past xDD However, that battle make me sick DDD: And there's still more :SSS |
 |
| I hate fights in Bleach manga, but I enjoy most of them in Bleach anime xD I liked this one as well |
 Credits for the av go to whispering-eden.livejournal.com =) I used to be Dolce_Vitka here, but Vitka_Lynx is my nickname at alost all other sites, so I decided to take it here, too ^___^ |
| Wow that episode was pretty badass. Man... When Kenpachi used the sword with 2 hands... His power level... It was... OVER 9000!?!?! |
 |
| BTW What happened to Grimmjow ? He was not finished off cause Ichigo defended him if I remenber correctly... |
 |
| does anyone feel like it's not really over yet? well, the fighting yeah but there still feels like there's something else. what was up with Nnoitra and Nel at the end? those stares were really weird, huh? |
     |
| i miss the soul society arc it has good production quality than the arrancar arc now and so much talking and animation is bad i do think they will include fillers on the past of the vaizards just like what studio pierrot is doing with naruto shippuden now |
| They dragged the hell out of this fight, but I'll admit I really enjoy seeing Kenpachi cut loose. Hopefully, the next episode will end the lackluster Hueco Mundo arc, but now there's more filler........ |
| First of all I'm glad that the opening theme went back to normal, that new movie dialogue was kind of sucky! Now to the episode itself... It was alright, at times it got somewhat tiresome with all the flashbacks but at the end what really mattered was Kenpachi cutting loose and kicking ass! ^_^ Can't wait for the next episode. |
| Long episode seeing as all that happened was bring him to his knees, worst case scenario after he sees Nel he decides not to give up and somehow miraculously gets back up D: but seriously we need another captain, espada fight already =/ |
| love the new ED except for the freaky part where Orihime is singing haha |
| I hate Chihiro subs... nuff said |
| I liked the previous episode better .. Also I hate the new - full of spoiler - ending and I hate orihime , enough themes for her already . |
| Finally goodbye Nnoitra. even with 6 weapons, you couldn't do much... a great episode with a great closing for Nnoitra, and an even better way to realize how bad ass Kenpachi is. Now to pray for no fillers and even better fights |
 |
kRUbER said: Aren't they there just to explain why Nnoitra has that beef against Nel to begin with? It's obvious he would hate her if she'd hang around him because she thought he was weak. maybe they showed things about how noitra feels that everyone pitys him was not ment for people to feel comparison or for kenpachi to show mercy, but i think it were there so people would understand why he turned out a psychopath :) |
 |
| Note: I fucking love Kenpachi. Now as for the episode,pacing was okay, it had enough in it for me. however; I felt, with such a big lead up, kenpachi's two-handed technique was a let down. In my eyes; It was too slow, and it doesn't help that bleach has had a major cut in blood. Yay, he swung his sword and whole big cloud of dust blew into the air to keep my virgin eyes from seeing and graphic violence. Even Nnoitra's blades cutting up Zaraki was poorly done, I thought he was missing/not exerting enough rietsu to cut Though glad they ended the fight here instead of draggin it into another episode like I feared. Remember to donate people, Bleach is low on blood resources and needs your help. . . Or they could move back to a later time-slot. |
