Havent even watched the actual episode yet, but the new opening is freaking awesome.:darn

[LeDuck]

Opening suggests a lot of action, especially between the Captains against each other, so if they animate them properly, it will probably be worth watching.

[espadaboyzz]

It's good episode i guess, the opening shows fight between captain and i hope they will give a little/tiny credit to Unohana in action, even a shunpo/kidou is already satisfied. :)

This episode marks the start of a new filler arc -you guys like filler right? :p- and with a new Bleach arc comes a new Bleach opening, which actually reminds me a bit of the SS arc's opening (at least when it showed some fast paced action scenes) though the song was a bit meh.
The arc itself is set about a month after Aizen's defeat and seems like it'll have a similar concept to the Muramasa arc in that it'll have some characters being controlled/brainwashed into fighting others. So far there have only been 2 new filler characters to show up (one obvious bad guy who's just kinda in the 12th div for without any explanation and a mysterious green haired girl who will no doubt be kidnapped at a later point in time so that Ichigo will have an excuse to stick around), though I wouldn't be surprised if more showed up later.

Overall a bit of a slow start to the arc, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious as to what will happen next. Regardless it seems like it'll be better then the Shusuke or Bount fillers based on the concept and animation quality alone, even if two-tone hair guy annoys the crap out of me already :s.

[Galbert-Kun]

This arc looks promising. That Inabe dude made a pseudo Kōtotsu? Cool

What's the names of the new opening and ending?

I'd say it was pretty decent episode. A slow start of a new arc, but I liked it. Hope we'll get some interesting episodes, but I hope that he plot will be better than in previous filler arcs.:)
But at least we'll get plenty of action and fights and that's for sure.:)

[Exodi]

I never thought I'd say this, but the opening had almost too much action. It seemed a bit chaotic. But perhaps that adds to the mystery...? So many things going on at once that you don't catch everything the first time.

The episode itself was pretty cool. But then again, I said the same thing about the Zanpakutou/Muramasa/Beast Swords arc's first episode, and then I lost interest towards the end of the arc. This arc looks a little more hopeful.

The animation was swell, too. Hopefully we get some sort of consistency at this level. That would be ideal.

[ILikeSleeping]

The animation quality, i'd like to say was very good, u could notice it even in the small things like ichigo and rukia running. This entire thing with time and the precipice world seems kinda cool too, im actually pumped for the next episode.

[The Newbie.]

Well, this wasn't bad, and that joke about Kon getting in trouble while in Ichigo's body came back. The pacing has to improve, however, if they want people to pay attention, especially everyone that watches the show mainly for the action.

Some scenes were overdone.
Nothing new for the soundtrack.
The animation was pretty good, why didn't some of that budget go into a fast paced fight for the finale of last arc? Who knows, but it pisses me off.
The studio keeps handling the characters however they feel like. Mayuri should be more aggressive.

The rest is good, keep improve a bit on it and the filler won't be boring. Hopefully it is not going to be boring.

[bamf]

Let me just say that the moment when Ichigo went bankai was freaking amazing. Best animation for it outside of the Byakuya fight. Did anyone notice how slow Mayuri moved when he threatened Hitsugaya? That should have been fixed.

I hate the new filler song, but the intro animation was fun. I watch/read bleach for fighting and power-ups, and it looks like we're finally going to put our Bleach tournament to the test with this arc =D

[BekasStrife]

I am actually looking towards this new arc; the animation was good, art wasn't bad... Looking good so far~

Opening and Ending are nice (Ohh, do I see eye candy for fans at the ending? xD) but...

Am seriously ANGRY+SAD FACE at the lack of Orihime :\ She doesn't show up in the opening as far as I saw and in the ending, all we see if a shot of her and her hairpins falling.

Could this be a hint for the arc or did the animators just forget she's also part of the gang?

[102jayday]

For some reason this filler arc reminds me of the last 2 movies in the quality. Doesn't look boring like the first few filler arcs :)

[LeDuck]

I think it was a rather good start for a filler arc, we're already aware of the main villain, some mysteries are going around with the girl (who reminds me a bit of the girl in the first movie), some action is going on and Ichigo is having major drawbacks, so the story isn't completely thrown overboard.

[crazy_man]

I thought it was a very good opening to this arc.

I can already see our new girl character getting along with Kon, glad he is getting a bit of spotlight.

[Darui Jonin]

The opening is just to awesome!!!I'm not big fan of fillers but bleach fillers are good and this one looks like the best till now.I have good filling about this filler.

[meepers4982]

i saw the episode was a filler but i was pretty bored so i decided to watch it now...then i saw the opening, i watched it, and then watched it again, paused the video and went strait here to say how amazingly amazing the new opening is and how just the opening is making the filler look pretty epic...just saying...bleach openings have always been really good but this one seems better than usual (the last two openings were amazing however)

Awesome beginning to the arc, i bet if it was faster it wouldnt be as interesting especially since we were properly introduced to the basic plot of this arc. I knew when ichigos badge fell off thats the object byakuya found :D. Animation was very good especially for a fillar arc which is surprising but im not complaining.

[Zeltrax]

Contraction: Ikkaku showing his bankai to Kyoraku in the opening.

Anyway, meh..I'm not excited, this felt like another movie 1 thing and another movie 2 thing again. I think I'll give it a few episodes and then decide.
Pierrot is quite cheap to pull this off, I mean, by using existing characters they don't have to make new ones, esp villains.
I don't think it will have a good plot either. The opening may look good but I hope the arc does the same.

[BaddAzzKenpachi74]

Haven't started watching this filler yet but the opening is freaken AWESOME!

If the filler is anything like the opening then this may be the first filler arc I've watched since the Bounto arc lol.
