Bleach: Episode 163

Rating: 7.6/10

Impressions:

Ahh, it seems like Bleach has finally started setting out for fillers, as apparently, it won’t be a few months before everyone is back in Soul Society for some anime original stuff. I’d say that this will drag on for as long as the Bounto arc, or even more, if the anime is to give the manga enough time to get a decent lead. I can’t say I will be looking forward to this filler arc, unless they involve some normal Bleach themes, instead of give everyone a few pokemon to fight for them, like with the Bountos. If they really started involving Soul Society a bit more daringly, and execute the story well, it might actually be like the first Soul Society arc.

As for this episode, the quality really jumped around a lot. Half the time, everything looks great, but only to be followed up with a retarded shot of Grimjaww or Inoue etc. The story is still moving forward with a below average pace, but that’s something I doubt we’ll ever see the end of. Ichigo’s fight with Grimjaww is coming up, as shown by the preview, and they better do this right. I wonder how many episodes it will take though—and I hope they don’t cut out Nell. The ‘main’ fight for Ichigo in Soul Society would be Byakuya, and that only took two episodes or something. In the manga though, Grimjaww x Ichigo really does last a long while.

    I’m not sure if they want(have time) to animate the Grimmjow-Ichigo fight (my favorite battle in entire manga). From what I’ve heard at the end of this month the Anime will start airing the Original-non-manga materials.
