Acting: 10/10 Pace: 9/10 Storytelling: 10/10 Animation: 9.5/10 Writing: 9/10 End: 9/10

An amazing episode avenging episode 8 with an astonishing animation and great cgi.

This episode was near perfect for every category in my opinion with the ones suprassing a 9/10 being the storytelling and acting. Probably my favorite episode of the cour regarding storytelling, Nemu's backstory was really interesting to watch and the story development of the episode had you on the edge of your seat all time long. Mayuri's voice actor gotta be at least a top 5 bleach voice actor in the whole series, he is amazing and his character is so well written in my opinion.

Regarding the categories i consider a 9/10 are pretty much everything else. The only reason i didnt not give the animation a 10/10 is because i thought there was quite some room for improvement, some specific scenes made me not want to make it consider it a 10/10 but it was fine. Same goes with the pace, not bad yet not a 10/10. The end is a cliffhunger for the next episode, which is either going to be the deflector quincies against the remaining of the royal guards(according to the aftermath scene) or the continuation of Shunsui's front. Either way, it is going to be fully hyped up.

A category i think was missed on is the writing, maybe they could give Mayuri some humanity, a change in character showing how he has developed as a character and that he isnt heartless, simply a scieintist looking for perfection. His goal remains the same, being surpassing Kisuke, i think they could add a massibe layer of character development which they replaced with the last scene.

My only problem with the cour as of episode 10(not the episode) is how much ground they need to cover in the last 3 episode which seems abnormal to me. An episode for shunshui, an episode at least for ichigo and askin and another for the quincies which seems to be splitten up in 2. Maybe when you look at it a way of 1 episode a character it kind of muches but i think some of this fights will need more than 20 minutes of screen time if they want to be executed well and i dont really see how they are going to do it. As of now the cour had some pacing problems in the earlier episode which were on the edge of a slow story progression. Thankfully this was fixed and i hope they dont ruin this amazing cour(also my number 1 so far) in the last 3 episode.

Overall... just read the review, anything between a 9-10 stars is good. I Think thats everything for the episode, cant wait for next saturday.
