Good Episode i suppose... I would have liked to see more but, meh, it's building. Someone mentioned earlier what I would rate bleach... to be quite honest, I would Give it a 6 or 7. that's not to say I don't like the series but i've seen some phenominal series especially as of late. and though I really enjoy bleach, it's not the best thing since French Toast or anything.

as to my opinion on Ichigo's relationship with Rukia, yeah I can see them together too. but she's gonna need a real body if they ever do seriously consider their relationship and she wants to go to the real world. wasn't there a problem earlier in the series about her temporary body not being completely stable or something like that. (probably wrong on this) but in any case, being in a temporary body kinda changes things doesnt it?

I kinda get the feeling Innoue's gonna hook up with Ishida too. the cat's probably gonna hook up with Chad. and the sandel hat guy is probably going to end up having some long lost love in the SS who's still waiting on his return or some stuff like that.

Well I hope the series get's better and I hope the fighting improves between Renji and Ichigo. (I also really REALLY hope Ichigo doesnt have to fight through every single captain and leutenant. that'll get really old really fast.) Till then, can't wait till next episode.
