Animated fullbring? Sure I'll give it a shot lol

[Jorge D. Dragon]

The begining of Fullbring Arc in anime was ok, but I actually expected more. It actually had old Bleach style, but the bad thing that degraded the episode for me was that they changed the order by showing Ginjou and Fullbringers talking about Ichi in their base way before others were shown in the manga. Maybe it's not that big deal, but still... sometimes it counts. Especially in a bad Arc.

[cracker]

It was a pretty boring episode. I think they did the Ginjo thing so that people would be interested in following up next week (maybe?)

Ginjo's voice isn't as cool as I thought it would be. The Orihime bit with the pole wasn't as funny as in the manga, strangely.

And surprising for me, was Ishida's saving grace with that facepalm attack lol pretty funny.

[exacta]

Thought episode was pretty good for the start of the arc. These kind of episodes are always going to be light on action and interesting things, so I'm fine with the way things happened. Ginjo's voice is decent enough for me, and I like the way they animated him. I don't mind them revealing the Fullbringers earlier. One, we get to see them earlier, and too, it makes it more interesting for the people who haven't read the manga. Tsukishima's voice is great though(pretty sure thats his voice at the end of the preview). I had a feeling they would pick Daisuke Ono for him, his voice is just perfect for Tsukishima.

Only disappointing thing is the opening wasn't shown. But I'm excited for this arc....I think its a pretty decent arc actually.

Ginjo's voice doesn't suit a character who's going to turn villain later in the arc, at least in my opinion. If he was just a regular old joe then fine but he's evil and for the arc currently he's the big bad. Pretty lousy voice over choice. Maybe the actor will use a different inflection when he goes evil.


Daisuke Ono isn't a bad choice for Tsukishima, he's capable of giving a voice a sinister undertone.

The reason I'm fine with Ginjo's voice is because for where the manga is now, I find it fitting for his character. Deeper into this arc, I expect the voice actor will change it up during the big moments. Or at least I hope so.

but in the end after 5 episodes they will make a filler again because the manga and the anime is starting to get close to each other again

I loved this episode! I have been saying throughout that this arc was meant to be a callback to the first season and this episode along with the chapter in which Ichigo regains his powers are the best testaments to that. I also loved the original Bleach style and that definitely made it an amazing episode. The Opening was great! The sequence in it with the episode number cards going up in order was a great touch. Gave a great feel for what Bleach was. Ending was good as well. Overall-10/10. Great way to start the Fullbring arc. :D

Thats kinda what I'm hoping for too. He'll use a different inflection later on...keeping my fingers crossed lol NOT! lol

[Asclepius]

it's just the beggining. Only the looks were interesting.
My fav scene was that with 6 shinigamis in the fog. Really nice. Looks better than in the manga.

[meepers4982]

I was happy with this episode, the animation is top notch, and the new opening is really good too reminds me of the old bleach. I like how they introduced most of the human characters in this episode while still allowing for a cliffhanger and making us look forward to the next episode. Im so happy the anime is corresponding with the manga again.

[cracker]

You saw the new opening, wasn't in the link provided....

[Zeltrax]

The Opening..oh my god, the opening...scandal..
I like the opening so much, esp that part with all the bleach episode titles at the end, a very nice touch (that was the highlight)
+ the fluid action scenes and repeating it again..great song.

No worries about Ginjou's voice, I'm pretty sure we'll get used to it.
Great animation and I like the pacing, hope it stays that way. But if it actually stays that way it'll be only one season before it catches up to where the manga is now :blink
The fb are introduced beforehand but I have no complaints.

Like the ending and the nice touch with rukia at the end, what can I say? This episode made my day.


Yet I'm a little sad. This episode really made bleach enjoyable and fun to watch again. I know how great the fights are too but episodes and parts like this are what bleach lack.
The way the manga is heading right now, I'm sure we won't see days like this again. Now I really hope that kubo didn't rush too much into the fb-ers and shinigami returning..

[Skyguardian]

Well... Seems the new Style of Art is finished. 342 looked like a training ground. It looks better to me then before though. :)

Opening is just... Wow! Bleach, Shana and Fairy Tail's new Openings were great. Naruto and OP just crap...

However... Tsukishima looks very nerdy... Very very pale... :D

[slmcknett]

Great episode. Good animation, good theme song, good pacing, good...everything, really.

Hopefully they keep it up all the way through this season.

Probably gonna get fillers again as soon as the Fullbring arc ends, though. >_>

[cracker]

I saw the opening, the music fits it. Its okay, the animation is fine too. But it isn't my favorite, opening 13 is still better (that has my favorite images to date) and the song was catchy too, but like I said the scandal song fits this particular opening.

[Skyguardian]

Probably gonna get fillers again as soon as the Fullbring arc ends, though. >_>

If it's as entertaining as the last one I wouldn't mind. But not just probably. There'll definitely be fillers.

[K H Reborn]

Fillers doesn't bother me in bleach its always good. You can see that they really work on them .
And the episode it was amazing loved the old bleach style.

Always...? No... The second half of the Zanpakuto Unknown Tales Arc was just useless and stupid. The One-episode Fillers were ostly crap too. I just pray they won't mess with the Timeline anymore as they did with every filler except Bounts and Gotei 13 Invasion Army...

[Castriota]

pretty good episode to finally be back on track with the main storyline! if you look at the game that ichigo brought for tatsuki, you can see rukia, renji, and i wanna say byakuya but i can't really tell. pretty neat.
