For a filler... it was a very good episode. Found it way better than the clone-pseudo-arrancar arc.
This kind of episodes I do like...

I have to agree as well. I was pleasantly surprised by this ep and it's pretty decent animation especially at the hollow fighting scene. The next ep "looks" to be a good one as well.

the end of this ep seems pretty significant, was it filler?
This episode was ADORABLE!
I have to join the host of agreers: This was actually a very pleasant episode, despite being a filler. Maybe it's solely because it didn't try to be anything epic. When they keep things at this scale, it doesn't require any of those elements fillers can't have by nature. Plus the script was fine also otherwise. And the animation looked decent like Maverick said.
I wish they would keep the spirit of this episode in mind when they design future filler eps.
Golden Cup, though, I guess it was some kind of a Japanese joke. I certainly didn't get the grand idea of it...
Excellent episode, would be hard to tell it was filler if you weren't looking so hard. They need more of these episodes during normal runs too, not just during filler time.
I thought Karin and Hitsugaya were so cute together, until you remember he's possibly thousands of years old and she's around 10.
Hitsugaya's release kicked ass, especially where he whips the extension chain and freezes the hollow's arm and tears it off. I don't recall him using that technique before. Then the hollow tries to fire cero at them but Hitsugaya is too fast and cleaves the hollow in two. Pretty sweet sequence.
Next episode looks like non-filler or flashbacks or excellently-animated filler.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Let me be the first one to say that the new ending kinda hurt my ears...
The ep was nice. Not great, but not annoying to see too.
next ep looks like filler to me...I doubt that they'll put a simple Gillian in the real storyline when the arc is about arrancar. Gillian are nothing for a captain-class according to Hitsugaya..
I still don't understand why don't they just release the new OP/ED's later on. They're such huge spoiler fests for people that don't read the manga.
He used it when he was fighting Gin. He got Gin's arm frozen with it. Though when he releases his Shikai, the blade becomes a Suiryuu or Water Dragon. Don't know why it wasn't there this time, I guess it wasn't a full shikai release maybe?Originally Posted by Animeniax
a very good episode.
which is a surprising statement because, there was very little Action in the entire episode. anyone else think Hitsugaya and Karin are perfect together?
the bit where hitsugaya rips the hollows arm off was also very cool. i thought there was a ban on dismemberment in the anime, but apprently its ok if the appendage is frozen and/or doesn't sqirt (too much).
i also noticed that all the hollows (and yami's) Cero is fired from the mouth. ichigo's full hollow form fired from that thing where his arm usually is.
next episode looks like an update on the training of the good guys imo. so perhaps back to non-filler the folowing week.
Same here, I drew a blank after watching it. Maybe someone on the forums can explain it to us.

Well, she doesn't know he's centuries old. So to her he's just some elementary school bishounen.
See, while this was good as a single episode though, if I had to watch 10 of these in a row I'm pretty sure I'd hate it by the end.
Yeah, I did recognize that problem, and that's why I wrote to keep the spirit of the episode in mind, not the episode itself. Still, they should have lots of opportunities for fine episodes, even if they didn't include Karin, football and Toushiro. But as soon as they try to include some grand enemy with grand plans endangering the whole city, things always seem to take a turn to worse.
so does anyone that reads the manga know? it all seemed fine for a filler until Karin started talking to Toushirou and Matsumoto in their shinigami forms.

It's all filler.
Honestly can't believe the way this thread turned in to a discussion about appropriatly aged relationships...
Without getting in to the main discussion itself, I thought Rukia was only only like 150 (or was that 300?) years old or something, which would mean that there is no way that Toushiro, let alone Yachiru, is 1000+ years old.
Personally I thought the ep was really boring. All this football type action is not my cup of tea, and I wish they would hurry up and get back to the manga.
finally watched it... the end of the ED suggests Tatsuki will be fighting alongside them soon? I've always hoped so, though I'm not sure if a newly emerging fighter, probably even weaker than Chad, would be a good thing...
I don't like how in all these "sports dramas with one side clearly outmatched" the prescription is seldom "practice hard, come up with a strategy and do your best" but almost always "go out and pick up a ringer" ... great lesson for the kids...
and shinigami's cup wants me to watch my carbs...
it was a tolerable filler experience
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Well it's filler so what else should we talk about in this episode?
You're right, none of them are 1000 years old, most are probably just a couple hundred years old. To me it was a minor detail in my point.
I'm sure they'll keep Tatsuki away from any Arrancar, and she'll just fight your small-fry hollows. I'd like to see Karin and Tatsuki meet the Urahara store team. That would be a fun episode. I wonder why Yuzu doesn't have the same spirit energy as her sister and brother. Looks like she's from her mother's side of the family, so maybe that side doesn't have the spirit power of the father's side?
Also, where's that afro wearing Shinigami that's supposed to be protecting the town?
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
