Too be honest, I actually didn't think much of this episode. How I had it pictured in my mind was completely different to what they did, and it may be just me but I felt that the pacing was all wrong, slow in the fast bits and vise versa. Like at the end when Aizen defeats everyone, I felt it should've been done the same as the manga, in an instant, not showing us how he took each individual out. And then going backwards to when Aizen gets his hand trapped in ice, seriously what? That was grade school animation skills there, moving the single image of the ice to cover his hand, same deal when someone was cut down, no creative perspective shot of them falling, just dropping like stones.

Just reading over the chapter now I see another difference, Gin explaining Aizen's power. In the manga he's just watching from a distance musing over the situation which shows how he's distanced himself from everyone, but in the anime they put him half faded over the action. Then Komamaru and Love crushing Aizen between their Zanpakuto, I was completely expecting a slow-mo action shot there as they're about to collide with Aizen in the middle but instead we get two separate shots of their Shikai with Aizen not even in the picture all in real-time speed.

There's other issues I had with the episode, and maybe I'm just putting my standards too high, but in the end I stand by what I say, this episode was really dissapointing for me, though from the preview of next week it should be alright.
