I know I said it last week too, but I still love the opening ^.^ Ok, that's out of the way. On the the meat of the episode.

Animation was at it's peak this week. Like you said, this is easily up there as one of the best animated episodes. My favorite is still 166, but this is a very close second place. Aizen using Kinshara to tie up Love was so cool! I need to re-watch this episode again before I go to bed just to make sure I take it all in. The level of animation was even high enough for me to not care about the Momo incident. Well, that and Romi being an amazing Seiyu. That scream gave me chills, just knowing what was coming. I agree completely with your 10/10.

Also, the omake - Perfection! I laughed so hard! I'm actually glad my friend I was watching the episode with had left during the credits and missed it so he didn't see me literally rolling on the floor laughing my expletive deleted off. ^.^
