    This episode wasn't as bad as I expected it to be after hearing it is a comic relief episode beforehand. Although nothing was really that funny, everything was amusing. Unlike a lot of other people, I find comic relief necessary. It wasn't the funniest Bleach episode, but it was decent enough. The whole scenes with the dolls inventing new traps was a bit stupid, but for some reason it offered a small giggle. It got better by the second half when the dolls tried convincing Ichigo and crew that their traps were worthwhile and disguised themselves as Bounts to prove their point. Overall, not a great episode, but decent enough.moreless

  • Boring episode with only a couple of humorous moments.

    this past week's episode of Bleach was complete filler material. there was nothing on the main storyline with the Bounts. And to make matters worse, it was not really funny at all. the only part that was mildly funny was when Hanataro got stuck in Kon's trap and ended up with a pie in his face. I think that some of this problem has to do with using Claude and Ririn, who completely stink as characters and have been quite annoying since they came in to the show. this episode was one that can be skipped and i urge you to do that. hopefully next week's will be much better and get back to the actual plot.moreless

  • I can accept that a comic episode won\'t go anywhere, if its purpose is just to invoke a couple of laughs. The only problem is, I didn\'t laugh, and I was embarrassed at how stupid and weak the characters were made to look.moreless

    With tools from Urahara\'s shop, the three dolls decide to set up various traps for the Bountou in case of an attack. When Ichigo is hardly impressed by any of the traps, Cloud, Ririn, and Nova hatch a plan to teach Ichigo and Rukia not to underestimate the Bountou. Cloud and Ririn dress up like the Bountou bug-things and decide to scare Ichigo and Rukia, all the while proving that their traps are effective.

    None of them notice how bad the costumes are, or that they actually hardly look like the Bountou. Frankly, they all look like idiots; running around and destroying the neighborhood because they thought the Bountou had captured Ririn and Cloud. It just wasn\'t a great episode. The excitement of the dolls in their traps was cute for a little while, but is nowhere near enough to justify an unnecessary and farfetched episode.moreless

  • A funny filler episode where Ririn and Cloud try showing Ichigo and Rukia that the Bounto traps really do work.

    This episode was funny, though it had absolutely no real point. It was needed. You can only go so long without something to laugh at! I admit, I was somewhat ticked at first because I wanted to know more of the story. Who wouldn't? After Yoshino's death and Kariya creating all those new dolls, it felt like you couldn't end the episode right there! But afterwards, I was kind of happy that they had this episode. I was even happier once the story continued... I tend to enjoy things with no point and seeing Rukia try to kill Ririn and Cloud was really hilarious!moreless

  • Ririn and Cloud think that Ichigo and the gang are underestimating the Bound. To prove the Bound's strength, they put on suits to get them to beleive they're dolls and that their Bound traps work. Unfortunately, they don't think it through and get attackemoreless

    i agree..this episode was just ok..it was a good filler and it kinda gave a comedy sense to this show 2 get our minds off all the action/adventure thats been going on..it had its funny moments but it was also kind of silly..i think this episode would have been better if the 3 stuffed animals had gone into their human bodies (gigais?) and made themselves look like they were actual Bounds and given themselves real powers and things of that sort..it was pretty cool when cloud used his illusion power to make it look like they had morphed together (i actually beleived it at first)moreless
