Its getting so interesting. I cant stop watching. I knew Ichigo was not a killer and I'm glad that guy he was fighting is still alive.

Ganju's retarded.
THe show would be better off without him.

And what's up with all the running, anyway?

The episode was like 15 minutes of running, 2 minutes of ichigo being clumsy with his sword, and 2 minutes of an actually good fight.

Still dunno how its enjoyable, though.

This show is just terrible. I dropped it at ep 5 one year ago but it seems like I'll have to drop it again, and this time for real.
This is so fucking bad, the action is really slow, those retarded fights just take too long, they talk too much while fighting. Another thing, Ichigo was having a hard time with a weakling guy, he even took a long time defeating him, so how is he supposed to fight and defeat any of the stronger guys!!?? I guess he will just get a weird power-up out of nowhere like always, just like a miracle power-up. Fucking retarded shit. This could have been a good show but it failed miserably.
It's better if I just wait for Fairy Tail and forget about this crap.
Fairy Tail is 100% better than this shit.

Ecchi? If you call that ecchi, what do you call anime like Kanokon? Hentai? lol
Fairy Tail is 100% better than Bleach in every way. But this anime is still watchable, a bit crappy but watchable.

At the point of this episode, Bleach was better that Fairy Tail, it´s what comes after 64 which is a joke. Which makes Fairy Tail overal slightly better.
Fairy Tail has some serious flaws, and one of the more recent is the use of ecchi elements and sense of humour.
I don´t see the comparison with FT, it´s by far not the best shounen or anime, just your personal preference I assume.
So instead of bashing your opinion like a mad, start coming with arguments.

Meh, just get used to it. This is how Shonen anime usually are. Bleach is actually one of the better ones, believe it or not. If you're looking for straight-up action, you should watch Samurai Champloo.

It's strange how one guy is complaining about the lack of action when I personally think there is too much. The fights are well choreographed so far but there is not much substance, no weight to the proceedings. The Captains seem interesting, but as of yet not much has been done with them.

Ichigo is just awesome and his victories over enemies doesn't annoy me like it's usual for the MCs in most of the animes(winning with plot no jutsu and such).

Loved the conclusion to Ichigo and Ikkaku's fight. Now I remember what I loved about Bleach even more clearly; the "respecting your opponent as an equal" aspect of Ichigo and Shinigami in general. Not spouting justice at each other or trying to prove your point, but just having a straight up life or death battle with swords, learning/improving, and even flashing a smile or two (some exceptions of course).

Lmfao at Ganju once again, that bro is too hilarious! It was funny seeing Yumechika lose his cool so much, Ganju is like the worst possible adversary for him lol.

Also, Orihime is such a clutz haha. It's funny seeing her and the polar opposite Ishida teaming up and trying to come up with some strategies lol.

Lol, the running was actually enjoyable... not every anime can make that happen. And tbh, Bleach action isn't appealing to me just yet, not intense enough :/

Also, I've tried to tolerate Orihime... but that's getting harder and harder...

Also, I like how the new ending focuses on a new squad each week :)

I think that those shinigamis are not taking this issue seriously.. I get the comedy and I find it funny but sometimes I just think it's out of place.

I liked Ikkaku's determination and the mutual respect, but this was still merely just a warm up fight. Many, many opponents to go.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Well creaors try to make scenes intense despite lack of anmation by using some dope art and change of style

Still. Way too much slow mo x(

Ikkaku has respect for his enemies and their goals though he acts SO tsundere xD

Ganju vs Yumichika fight was boring and felt like a big comic-relief :/ ugh.

Lol Kenpachi and Yachiru wtf they can't sense energy or what??

Damn Ichigo was so cool, i think this is the moment for me.

Ganju scene was absolute comedy.

It will be easier if Kenpachi and Yachiru just running on the roof right? lmao this is so silly.

Release the Death Blow was again a better episode than the previous one, we saw a really good battle, Ichigo's Zampaktou didn't even have to say his name. By the way, I was wrong in my feelings about Ganju, but he could have been designed as a better character, nothing more I can say.

Best episode in a bit, all the plots were given the right amount of screen time, were either funny (like pretty boy dropped in garbage, Orihime being a silly) or really cool! Like, the visuals during the ending parts of Ichigo's fights were sick, awesome colours, awesome art. Kenpachi seems really exciting, the loli is fun too, I liked the post-to be continued gag with them.

Awesome episode. Loved how it had a good mixture of badass fights and funny moments. The black and white part of Ichigos fight was really awesome, I'm glad Ichigo doesn't kill people too. Can't wait to see Kenpachi fight Ichigo.

Why didn't Ichigo call out his zenpaku? Also, I have no clue how they're going to get away with this mission, unless some Shinigami's help them out (which is very likely considering the series of events). Anyways, so far so good! I'm enjoying this arc.

This episode had a nice mixture of cool fights and comic relief for me. Like how Ikkaku can respect his opponent but damn doesn't like to admit that he's lost. God Zanpaichi is very much lost. XD Though I can't help but look forward to when Ichigo finally encounters him because man does he seem like he means business there. Ganju was funny again in this episode. Who knew that one of the holes in the pathway lead to a garbage dump huh. Otherwise great episode regardless.
