| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Now what is this?? It's obvious that this is a filler as we just move away from the battle in the fake Karakura town back into Soul Society as well as the town Ichigo and the others are in =.= There aren't any interesting development in this episode, just some small situations the characters are in. I hope that the fillers won't last too long after watching this but this one is alright. |

| not a bad episode eventhough it is a filler, a little slow, but not too bad |
| I like Bleach filler. At least we get a full 20 mins of content, rather than the ridiculous 6 mins of recap every episode in the fully canonical arc. It was a decent story, pretty interesting seeing what "happened" leading up to the beginning of the main series. I guess this arc will finish just before where episode 1 began. |
 |
| Incoming people crying about the filler. It was good, i read the manga and also for those who dont it was a good insight. Whatever , i like it |
| This was actually a decent filler episode. It felt like a good throwback to the good old Bleach days. A prequel episode to the main storyline. It does seem like the fillers will be somewhat disconnected since the next episode seems to have no relation to this one. |
 |
| Loved it. It was a pretty dang good episode for a filler because it wasn't pointless and filled with useless information like all other fillers. It was very interesting to see how all of the guys met and how Rukia got sent out and Renji got promoted. I actually wish they would have gone into more detail about it, like maybe tell why Renji got promoted instead of anyone else (like Ikkaku for example). |
 |
| Ugh, a piece of me dies everytime filler episodes pop up...o how long will thou last? |
 |
| i heard 52 episodes. *crys* but understandable its catching up to Manga way to fast because its only fights. |
| Nostalgic is what this episode was; but kind of a random place to be putting the prequel, huh. AND ALSO, Keigo looking cool at the end was such a contrast to his spazzalicious self. Chimasternmay said: i heard 52 episodes. *crys* but understandable its catching up to Manga way to fast because its only fights. So we uh- ...We have a nice year of fillers before getting back to Fake Karakura? |

6dmafia said: Bounto arc>this How can you even say that after one episode? Besides, everything that happened in this episode, excluding Renji being promoted, Ichigo helping the ghost girl and Rukia arriving in Karakura, has already been explained (for the most part), but it just wasn't animated. It was just a recap, chill. But I guess if you don't like recaps, then so be it. Also, we are getting something completely different new episode. Just don't be so closed-minded. Anyway, seeing what was going down in Soul Society before the story we know actually begins was fun to watch. Next looks like an oppai beach special. I personally wouldn't mind a filler filled with that XD |
| As far as filler goes, that was pretty darn good. I'll probably like the beach episode as well. How many of these one and dones can they string together though? They should do a 26 episode slice of life/drama with all the Bleach characters outside of the Bleach universe as a filler arch. Of course, typical Bleach fans might hate that more than regular filler. |

 |
| mmm very nostalgic and good, im a bit down they keep dragging down the karakura town battle, but i suppose thats because the anime would catch the manga in like 10 eisodes without the fillers ( thats what think at least) at least the bleach episode, i`ve been wondering when it was going to appear since the 8th opening---looking forward----- |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| It's that time of the year.. "Spring...The perfect season for hangovers" i lmao at this line from Captain Kyoraku Edit |

| Considering the fact that it's filler, it wasn't bad at all. I liked the fact that they showed a bit about what was going on before the series started. Poor Mizuiro. His mom is such a cold bitch. And as usual, Asano's a complete idiot. Does anyone really find him funny? I find him obnoxious. Chizuru, on the other hand, is always hilarious. That horny lesbian. They need to give Hisagi Shuuhei more lines. We hardly get to see the man as it is, at least let him speak when he makes an appearance. |

| Surprisingly decent episode. I'm interested to see where they'll be going with this arc.... |
    |
| I liked this episode, almost more than the standards. I like character-building. Bleach has always done pretty well in that respect, but this episode does it even moreso. Not looking forward to the next ep though.. we get enough 'beach' effect in the normal episodes, I don't need it even more >.< |
 "You're such an idiot." ~Celty (Durarara) "How many seconds until the boy confesses his love to the girl?" ~Durarara Should it be sad now that twice in a season I've been glad that subs scrolls by to quickly for me to process? |
| Yeah , i haven't watched this episode yet, so don't know where this fake plot belongs in the Bleach time line, or who its gonna be about, but i hope its something i can watch, because the last big filler arc, was just messed up to me, each episode of the last filler arc i just watch PARTS of it that i wanted to , didn't care about Nobodies who i knew will never matter when the real plot begins that included that new caption. Whatever at Least new manga each week, Anime was always just to hear their voices and see the action and reactions(most important part, even though bleach doesn't have much of it, Cuz Ichigo is always fighting somewhere Alone without spectators.) |
| wow, that was really refreshing! nice filler, i rather watch a filler this good than the current bleach story. |

PsychFreak said: If we are going to have to go through a year of filler, I wouldn't mind a slice of life/drama involving the Bleach characters at all, quite frankly it might help to expand on relationships. This episode people liked because it was a special from the manga with few cahnges. but then"I wouldn't mind a slice of life/drama involving the Bleach characters at all, quite frankly it might help to expand on relationships" wouldn't that still be false expansion of relationships. im guessing they are just gonna do a long arc about some new enemy like bount arc, or some variation like that. the tricky part will be how they set it up, will it be like the last filler arc which was supposedly after saving Inoue arc, or what... |
| that was pretty gay bro |
  |
| It was so nostalgic to watch this episode... it reminded me the good times, when I started to watch Bleach... Good old days... |
 |
| This wasn't really a filler as it was actually an extra chapter in the manga. I actually enjoyed it more than the regular episodes |
 |
| LoL this filler episode is like a totally different genre compared to regular Bleach, but yeah this episode wasn't even all that bad in my opinion either. Bit slow but that was all, some interesting background information and stuff, let's see where this goes :) |

| Karakura fillers were pretty good Soul society fillers sucked. |
 |
| It was amazing. |
| This episode isn't filler it's based on chapter 0( Kubo's bonus chapter). So we can call this episode 0 Anyway, episode was pretty good. |
| A YEAR of fillers?! Tell me it's not true!!! |
| |
| Episode was okay. |

| it seems ppl enjoyed this ep, but for me it was rather boring and very random.. anyway it wasn't a bad ep xD next week lots of funservice, huh xDD |

TadloS said: This episode isn't filler it's based on chapter 0( Kubo's bonus chapter). So we can call this episode 0 . i read the chapter its different its about inoue, not this episode |
| This was decent, hopefully the rest of the fillers don't suck. |
 This Fairy Tale Is Ending |
| I really wanna know what the hell they're going to do next if Rukia's just getting into the real world now. I mean, are they recapping or doing side stories? Hopefully the latter. I sort of liked it though. It's giving us more character development that's for sure. And Keigo's such a spaz xD I liked that part. Maybe it'll revolve around everyone's school life and Soul Society life so we can see how everyone sort of met at the half way point. |
 |
| I couldn't stand this episode, and not cuz it was filler, because it was boring. Most of this stuff has already been referenced, just not animated. And the one chance they have to animate a fight (Ichigo vs bullies) they skip to Mizuiro going home. We had already met all these characters, we already know their quirky personalities, it isn't funny or interesting anymore to see them interacting with each other. |
| Well loved the slice of life feel to the events in the real world, plus I found myself really liking Mizuiro. :) Don't mind if this arc goes back to flesh out the events leading up to the start of the series, just hope it stays clear of 'alternative dimension' filler! |

|
| not a bad episode. the day that Ichigo and Rukia met. and we get to see what was going on in SS before things got crazy complicated. |

| Hmm, somehow I seem to remember the very end of ep 226, where Ichigo gets called back from Hueco Mundo to fight in the real world. If this is how it's going to be, I don't see Ichigo doing some kickass fighting, since he doesn't even have his big fluffy wannabe zanpakuto yet. I did enjoy the ep though. Absolutely loved the end, with Rukia standing on that pole, jumping towards Karakura Town, followed by that text... highly nostalgic. How it all began ;) |
