I hope everyone realizes Bleach 114 was one of the better episodes in the series.

Besides the detailed animation quality the plot theme and script writing were complete and thorough when compared to other Bleach episodes.

For the first time we are witnessing a very different Ichigo. He’s going to have to do a lot of soul searching which involves Inoue, his friends, SS, the Arrancar such as Ulquiorra, and finally his own weaknesses.

The producers will use this to spring board the series from a mediocre anime into a competent piece of artwork ( A’la Full Metal Alchemist ) which people can recognize for having a deep and involving storyline.

This is only the beginning, holding my breath.
