I may be the odd one out, but I'm really digging this new arc so far. I like that Ichigo's friends, who used to be almost secondary characters, are central characters this time around. Also, I really really liked 353. There's no post for it, but that's pretty much all I have to say anyhow. Sure, I could nitpick some things. But the personalities and their quirks seem to be used more prominently now. So I'm happy.

343 is the first ep of this arc if I'm not mistaken.
