Bleach Ep. 115

This is one of those "OMG, this is so kewl. More shinigami in the real word" moments. This episode covers Volume 22: Chapter 196 & 197.

Short summary
-continued from ep 114, Renji, Ikkaku, Yumichika, Matsumoto, Hitsugaya and Rukia arrives to meet dear speechless Ichigo
-Rukia proceeds to kick Ichigo in the face whilst Renji holds him back, she slaps him some more
-she then drags him his soul out of the classroom
-Rukia spots a nearby hollow and makes Ichigo fight it
-turns out Ichigo hasn’t been in shinigami form since the fight with Yami, reason: afraid of his hollow side consuming him
-yet again Rukia gives him a lecture about getting stronger so he can overcome this, he then goes to slice the hollow that he was fighting
-later everyone goes to Ichigo’s room and they explain about the Arrancar
-at the end of the episode, Ulqiorra & Yami report back to Aizen in Hueco Mundo

It feels so good to see all of this animated. It's also great to see everything go according to the manga. The mod souls didn't annoy me much, thank goodness. The anime original added touch of Ichigo's imaginate hollow mask was nicely done. We like to see Shurosaki, and Studio Pierrot delivered. I love Rukia's version of Ulquiorra & Yami/Yammy. Anyways, this ep doesn't disappoint , so no bad comments from me.

Bye for now,
