Bleach ep. 132

[ BLEACH #132 ]
FIFA…Bleach?
I like this episode a lot more than the previous mini-filler arc. A lot more. I found myself laughing quite a few times. Especially at how Karin and her friends keep calling Toushirou an elementary school kid. Anyways, it’s been quite a long while since Karin had an episode to herself. Last time that happened was in the 50’s I think. The soccer theme was nice and was quite entertaining for some reason (it must be an additional reason because I’ve been reading a lot of sports manga lately…). The central theme of this episode though was Karin’s concern for Ichigo. She’s always shown herself to be one of the most caring for him in their family and the writers just expanded on that part of her character in this episode.
The new ED was nice. It’s quite different from the last one but it isn’t too hard to get used to. The title, Bitter Orange, no doubt refers to Ichigo and Orihime’s hair color. Of course, I think it also foreshadows a rough time in their relationship that is to be shown later on in the anime and which is currently happening in the manga.
The fillers seem to be continuing with the next episode as well. It’s hard to tell what the episode will be about though…

I haven’t seen an episode for like 2 months now, but I think I’ll watch this one.
P.S. Here’s hoping for a Tatsuki filler! :yay
looks like each of the shinigami are going to get their own episode…and where are the vaizards???
I’d like to see a Vaizard episode or two myself.
I actually consider this my favorite Bleach filler episode. Toushirou and Karin were both more awesome than ever.
