Against the Judgement

Acting: 9.5/10 Pace: 10/10 Story: 10/10 Animation: 10/10 End: 10/10

Without spoiling anything, by far the best episode this cour so far. In this episode there isnt an fighting or other kind of action going but instead we have an episode fully focused on the aftermath from previous one and an update to where the previous cour left off which hadnt been picked up yet in those previous episodes. A character is re-introduced after a long waiting. Also lets not forget to mention that thiss episode fixes the pace problem of the last 4 episodes.

! Small spoilers below !

The most hyped up scene and best scene by far was Aizen's hado 90. The animation was done perfectly, and the way they showcase aizen at the start is also amazing

The worst executed part of this episode in my opinion is how when aizen does his hado 90 all the captains/lieutenants how they go back to the r&d and suddently back at the battle field without animating a single frame of them doing it just happening in a few seconds.

This is just absolute peak cinema 🙌 Everything about this episode is at least perfect, characters dynamics, pacing, dialogues, animation, and everything.

Even From how the episode started and how it ended.

The studio did a great job on this one, and the story board with surprisingly well done, even the little things like voice acting was pretty much good.

And come on we all know the best element here is the king himself, aizen souske. His presence this season made it better in so many ways, mostly because things like the hado 90 that doesn't get old at all.

I hope we have more episodes like this.

Not Aizen hater per se (don't know how to spell that) but not a ride or die fan either but he was cool af this episode. Can't wait for the next one, hoping to seeing the panther king more. If you're a bleach hater stop spreading hate fam like chill out it's not that serious. And bleach lovers we gotta stop giving all that attention to the haters it's whatever at the end of the day. No lie I'm running outta things to say again. Just tested spaces.... It don't work. Guess a little about me I've watched a lot of anime through out my life but bleach is peak gaps everything else so like the hate is re.

This week's episode of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War shifts away from the high-octane battle sequences of previous episodes, offering a more story-driven installment that sets the stage for upcoming conflicts. Several long-anticipated character returns take place, adding layers of anticipation for the battles yet to come this season.

In terms of animation, the quality noticeably heightens whenever the camera focuses on Aizen, bringing a cinematic feel to his scenes. CGI usage remains subtle and effective, enhancing rather than detracting from the overall visual experience.

We see that some manga scenes, which ideally belonged in previous episodes, have been shifted to this one. This week's anime-exclusive scenes, though fewer than in previous episodes, are nonetheless well-executed and contribute meaningfully to the episode.

Overall, this season continues to maintain an impressively high standard, and it's safe to say that all Bleach fans are eagerly awaiting next week's episode.

This is what we call it peak. In the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War anime, Sosuke Aizen makes a significant return in Part 3, Episode 3, titled "Against the Judgment," released on November 2, 2024. Imprisoned in the deepest part of the Central Great Underground Prison, Muken, Aizen is approached by the new Captain Commander, Shunsui Kyoraku, who loosens some of his bindings to enlist his aid against the Quincy King, Yhwach. This strategic decision underscores the dire circumstances facing the Soul Society and highlights Aizen's formidable power. Against the Judgment (Nov 2, 2024) is an intense episode.
