Wow, nothing happened.

"Mediocre"

By ZaleIsBackAgain, Oct 20, 2009

Once again, another episode within this so far lackluster arc and nothing happens. What happened again? Some slice of life moments with the injured at Urahara's place, we can safely say that nothing happened here since it contributed to nothing. What else happened? Some talking, talking, and even more talking! How frikkin exciting! What saves this episode from dropping down to a 2 or 3 is that at least there is "some" action, but even then it isn't enough to really compensate for the nothing that happened for the first 15 minutes. Though the reappearance of Ugaki was a bit surprising.moreless

How boring. The quality of the animation is deteriorating and it\'s getting repetitive. I don\'t like seeing Ichigo and the other\'s sitting around in Urahara\'s shop when they are discussing. Of course, sitting down like would be the normal thing to do, but a variety of settings would be nice. The budget for the fillers is quite low I assume, so I guess that can\'t be helped. The Bounto don\'t make very interesting enemies. Sure, their dolls are unique and each one presents a different battle, but Bleach is meant to be about the awesome swordfights. Also, watching Ichigo get owned is not my idea of a good episode (referring to a few eps back), and watching the vice-captains who are only at a fraction of their full strength defeat the Bountos that Ichigo could not is even worse. However, the show does continue to present new ideas that keep the show interesting such as the traitor among the Shinigami and Ichigo learning to control his Hollow side. The constant action also helps keep the show alive, even though it\'s incomparable to the good ol\' Soul Society arc. (I wish Ichigo would use Bankai again soon!!)moreless

Nothing really happened. A little out there if you want to label it as. It made the Vice's seem weaker then normal.

By Rukia_Kuchiki, Jul 13, 2006

Even though, all I seen is the raw right now, from what I could follow, it seemed off character for 3 Vice Captains, and a 5th seater who's zanpakotou can be considered Vice. Them getting there butts beat easy by the stuff Ugaki used, was cheap tricks. They shouldn't have been able to be brought down that easy. The regrouping of Ichigo and Rukia and crew was ok, but it is odd how everyone regroups after mulitple battles at once.

It seems like they might be spoiling the manga again with Ishida getting his powers back. It may seem like he and Nemu might be having a battle. It is odd, how 5 Vice Captains are in one town too, Renji, Nemu, Kira, Haseii and Masatmuto. It is making the bount seem stronger then they normally are. Well even if they are in 20% of the maxium power, they seem to be having an easy time beating the bounts. So I guess that is making them seem weak.

By that I mean, look at Kira and Haseii where easily beating there bount, and Masatmuto was on her way, after they found his weakness.moreless
