The ep was good, though I personally didn't like the Yammy filler. Mainly because I hate Yammy's guts. If I have to cope with having Rukia, Renji and Chad Kensei'd, then so be it, for the sake of not seeing Yammy's ugly face.

The thing that bothered me the most about the episode was Toshiro vs Harribel (so cool it wasn't censored). The drawing was atrocious. Hitsugaya looked horrible when he was cut in half. And Harribel... Something seems to be terribly wrong with her since she revealed her full mask. She looks beautiful in the opening, yet I feel they couldn't pull it through in the actual animation. Dunno, there's this feeling of... lacking, which is a shame since she's so gorgeous in the manga.

I always love Shunsui and Starrk. They make my life more joyous and funny. Baraggan and Soifon. Spicy and full of despair. I wanted to put a gag in Omaeda's mouth though. Like "Shut up already! I can't stand your stupid voice anymore!"

And yes, Pierrot, why not? I totally needed to see Ulquiorra die for the third time. Totally made my day (I don't have to specify the sarcasm, do I?)

But all in all, a fairly good chapter, with little flaws and very loyal to the manga. I hope we're done with the fillers. Funny omake, though last week's Quincy Encyclopedia was the awesome!
