i loved it. Bleach is one of my all time favorite mangas, right up there with beserk, tenju tenge and gunnm. The anime is really good too. This ep set the stage for one of the most interesting battles in this arc, and the strart of Ichigo really showing his true power.

This whole soul society storyline is just begining, no spoilers but it gets intense. Just hope they can keep up the good quality animation theyve had so far.
