The episode had a wee bit too much filler for my tastes. A five minute recap? Man, no wonder some people call Bleach "DBZ with swords."
I like Stark's release. It looks much better in color than in black and white. The Cero look more powerful colored, too.
... But watching this arc animated just reminds me of the writing fumbles it has.
Namely, I'm rooting for the Espada, and not the Shinigami. The way the fights went, it made the Captains all seem like jackasses, and the Espada like the scrappy, never-say-die heroes.
Seriously, Stark is one of the most sympathetic characters in the show. The fact that Lillinette acts more like his daughter than anything else just makes it even worse.

To me, this arc made Yamamoto and Soifon look like the biggest a**holes out of all the soul reapers. I'm not trying to bash any characters or anything, I'm just saying. And yes, I watch the dub, I have no problems with it, the only dubs I hate are the 4kids dubs.
Back on the topic at hand, I wonder if Ichigo will not only learn this "Final Getsuga Tensho" but how to transform into that hollow form he was in while fighting Ulquiorra since Hollow Ichigo was in that form as well. And maybe there's a third form after that super hollow form. This is how I see it.
Hollow Mask-Ichigo with the mask. Duh.
Hollow Shell-Ichigo in that form when fighting Ulquiorra.
Hollow Body-Ichigo without the mask or shell but with literally white skin and hollow eyes.
I also wonder if Gin will have a hollow mask and resureccion like Tosen did. I mean it would make sense since Aizen is the leader of the arrancar army (Well they're all dead and Aizen turned on Harribel at the last minute) to have his two right hand men have hollow mask along with a resureccion. If Gin did have one it would make a cool fanart of all three of them in there most powerful forms. (Gin and Tosen in there resureccion and whatever Aizen is at the moment) This chapter was pretty good so I'm looking forward to the next one. I sure do type a lot at times.
