I know you may have not mentioned this but may think the same way, but I was so glad they added a bit more to Aizen's fight with Ichigo. In the manga, Ichigo was showing parrying Aizen's blows for only 2-3 times, yet in the episode they at least demonstrated Aizen's great power while still keeping to the manga's portrayal of Ichigo's superiority (by having Aizen attack twice as much times instead).

Also the summoning of the Hado 90: Black Coffin was done brilliantly. I recall in the manga it was only partially complete, yet here they actually full sealed up the thing in such an epic fashion. Not only was the music perfect for this episode's fight, but the camera angles gave it a much more cinematic effect.

As much as Ichigo gets the spotlight in this fight and the one in the next episode, everyone can't help but cheer on for Aizen as well because of how amazing he was portrayed in this episode and the next. :D
