[ BLEACH #144]

The new OP and ED rock! ^_^

It’s great to see Bleach back in action and more manga material animated. The beginning of the episode contained some anime-original stuff that was full of laughs and basically showed just how dumb Ichigo, Ishida, and Chad could be. We also got to see Ishida and Chad show off some of their new powers which is just a taste of what is to come for future fights.

I really liked both the OP and ED songs though it’s kind of hard to say which one I like the best. The scenes are really good but I thought that the OP sequence could have included some more spoilers since they obviously didn’t have a problem with doing it in the last one. Anyway, the ED sequence shows some characters that have yet to appear so I suppose it balances out. I’m really looking forward to seeing how the rest of the Espada look in next weeks’ episode. I just hope that the animation is in top shape so that the all get an impressive first full appearance.
