meh this was an okay episode.
Like Kraco said.. Why would Ichigo just satnd there and watch Kariya do whatever he was ther to do in the first place.. I though the whole point of Ichigo and Chad going after Kariya was to.. umm.. I don't know.. STOP HIM! but I guess thats a filler for ya =/
At least the Shinigami Illustrated Picture Book thingy made me laugh.. partly because I have a sick mind =p but who doesn't there days =]
