Like you, I did not enjoy the chapter that much aside from some of the entertaining parts that filler provides. I like that, the "impending doom" you mention...a lot of series do that, someone cracks a joke or acts silly...then all of the sudden we get views of everybody all serious...and someone else is either crying, screaming, or freaking out until someone responds and then they move on their merry way.

I feel bad that you had to fight your way through a situation just to be dissapointed, hopefully you won't get the same treatment next week =/.

All I can say, like in my own blog post, is that I expect one or two pages for Ichigo next week (they'll write it off like his Bankai training and the additional training he recieved from Urahara after gaining his Shinigami powers), more characters (Ichigo's sisters) with more running followed behind it...and hopefully some confrontation between Gin and Aizen. What will it mean? Action? I could only hope. Let's see, I read it on Mangastream...typically the first page is their own fancy design, so that's anywhere from 18-19 pages worth of material...two pages are typically dedicated to the previous chapter's ending, so that gives us a...15-16 page timeline to get some worthwhile material or...just more filler.

If I did a lot of math, with Ichigo only getting 1-2 pages...then supporting characters probably getting about 2-4 (depending on the importance of Gin and Aizen's relationship for the next chapter), that's only around 10 pages worth to spread out to the other areas or focus on Aizen and Gin. Please don't dissapoint Kubo...(my math is most likely wrong, as I cannot predict what he'll do...he might focus PRIMARILY on Aizen and Gin and that would make me happy).
