I hope it’s not a filler damn!….I’m first anyway lol

first!

Guys u do know that this a beginning of a filler story arc so dont get ur hopes up now. so it’ll probably last some month with this filler story arc

3rd

oh fun… looks like its a filler arc… makes sense though, the anime is pretty much caught up to the manga…. oh well… hope this is a good one, the title brings some promise…

3rd

last

gonna be an awesome episode

hard to say if it will be a good filler arc.. we’ll be stuck with it for a several months so i hope it’s halfway decent..

haizt

well as much as I know this filler arc will last for about half a year…
so:
1 episode per week -> 4 in a month -> we’ll get about 24 episodes from this arc…
hope i’ts worth it.
At least a new OP and ED will be published.

and
‘Aoi Tori (Blue Bird)’ by ‘Fumika’

Huh why are captains fighting at start video?

lol, another researcher gone mentally disturbed, woot, aizen substitute arc LOL

well it actualy looks more intresting then the boring story line were ichigo trys to get back his power.

this so called filler arc looks like its going to be good o.o some say its going to last a month or two but if it lasts that long at least they put some thought into it and it wont be some random bs like other fllers when they go to the beach and shit like that

this is NOT a filler arc. this should be counted as a story arc and as an actual happening as part of the story. its the entire reason why they changed it from the manga. he lost his powers immediately in manga and gradually in anime for the reason to make this part of the story.

My first impression on this new arc, pretty awesome.

Thank you so much for the upload~

If the intro is hinting toward later in the arc… I’m all for this filler. Looks pretty badass

Ichi. that is what filler is. that is the exact definition of a filler arc. this is a filler arc, but it looks very interesting. i can do with this for a while.

an arc that deviates from the original story to kill time to allow the manga to get ahead will always be called a filler arc…

Based on the new intro this should be an interesting alternative arc especially with kenpachi fighting the other captains.

From the looks of the opening, I say we’re looking forward to a Shinigami Civil War arc. I wonder what kinda BS they’ll pull to reestablish the status quo at the end of it.

hey remember when Bleach didn’t have fillers like this battle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUC9V8EXHOk , cause i don’t

Seems to me they’re going to imply some external cause makes them start the civil war… Either way, I’ve always liked the Bleach filler arcs…although some of them were put into play at the worst times -.-

Ummmm… He lost hia substitute shinigami combat pass/badge?… i hope he gets that back because that’s quite important in the manga atm… it has to be the same one he originally had and a not a replacement or the story wont make sense..

They shouldn’t have tried to make this filler connect with the real story is the only problem I have with this.

Ichigo still has power huh? Well he blows it all on the final boss in this arc is my guess. Glad to have a new arc though, instead of filler crap.

@Sigh,

The Captains picked up his pass/badge (the important item they found) when they were in the tunnel. Thats why they attack Ichigo at the end.

New Filler Story Arc

Guys the item that Kuchiki Byakuya
showed 2 Captain Yamamoto
I have a wild guess of what it is
i think its Ichigo’s
Substitute shinigami combat pass/badge

What you guys think?

“Mayuri notes that there is a TIMEGAP between the Human World and Soul Society”

@Xenn
They tell you in both the manga and the anime that you don’t lose your shinigami powers as soon as the stigmas happen. The anime goes on to say that you can keep them for an indefinite period of time meaning it can last years days or months, so there’s no surprise in this filler arc really.

@Fail
What are you smoking. It’s much better that they did. It’s good to have at least a little something to fil in the time gap you have between the last battle between Aizen and the current arc. Otherwise you just get a stupid 17 months later… and nothing to fill in the gap of what happens in between.

awesome anime bleach forever

LOL I love all these characters!. They play them off each other so well. I start laughing even before the reactions come cause you know they are coming; like Kenpachi and kurotsuchi instantly bitching about one anther

hope they make up for that crappy ending in the last arc in the new one they’re starting

*Spoiler* I think maybe gigai (or something… all the bodies) come into play here? I could be wrong, but the guy from squad 12 had subordinates that look… familiar. Maybe that is also how Ichigo is thought to be a witness. I hope it is actually better than gigai, but that seems to be the hint.

Wow! by looking at the opening i notice that the captains and other Soul Reapers will be fighting later! so EXCITING!!!!

wtf guys when does ichigo get his powers back…i mean u cant have a seperate story for 6 whole months
