I read all the blogs! But yeah was it 'hmm... interesting' not much happened. And I'm annoyed Byakuya is alive - the amount of panel time he got with him absolutely rinsed - the whole 'his reishi has gone, he is dead' and the last wishes to Ichigo... he has to die. I think he is a brilliant Character, and his fight with AS was stupid, and I'm surprised he got knocked off so quickly seeing as he is one of the most well balanced captains. But if Kubo was going down that track - he has to finish the story. In my humble opinion, he should have had Komamura or Rose fight AS and die - at least that way he could have had the drama of captains dying without killing off one of his best characters.

And Renji getting drop kicked and being damaged beyond the repair of Squad 4 is a joke. I think Kubo has had alot of 2nd thoughts about how the Quincy engagements in the Soul Society went - as the story doens't seem very fluid, there is alot of confusion and alot of those easy Anime Fixes where 'all of a sudden there is a new magical thing to solve everything.'
