Well, at least it had lots of action. Not that most of the action had any sense at all (also like DarthEnder said), but at least people weren't just standing talking shit, but they actually tried to do something. Although it remains a mystery to me why Ichigo ran away from the encounter with the two dudes intead of slicing them to pieces. It might be futile to try to cut water with a sword, but cutting those chaps might have produced much better results.
