    ALMIGHTY 10/10

    A exemplifies everything I love about Bleach-epic fights, compelling characters, and a story that keeps getting better. 10/10, a masterpiece in every sense!

    The pacing was perfect, balancing intense moments with heartfelt scenes that pulled at my emotions. The music and sound design further elevated the experience, perfectly matching the atmosphere of each moment.

    The fight between Yhwach and Ichibei is nothing short of legendary. The intensity of their battle was amplified tenfold compared to the manga. The way the anime captured Ichibei's overwhelming spiritual power and Yhwach's unrelenting might was breathtaking.

    Bleach's return with such a high level of animation and attention to detail is a dream come true. This episode didn't just meet expectations-it shattered them. Absolutely 10/10, Bleach at its finest!"

    This is Goated

    This is a goated episode, the anime is definitely back. I cannot wait for the rest of the season. The goat Ichigo is back and so is the the rest of the cast. The power scaling to me is better then one piece along with the factor of the fights being better then most, the anime really is deserving of being the big 3. Ichigo is great but my goat Toshiro is gonna get to shine in this season hopefully. This review is just to prove that bleach is on top. The other reason this show is goated is the animation and characters. You feel more in touch with Ichigo who was a normal high schooler at the start so it'll be lit to see the end of his story.

    Slow motion poetry

    The episode is pure beauty in terms of music , direction , voice acting and ofcourse the animation. Beautiful cuts are present for both yhwach vs ichibe and senjumaru vs uryu. It might feel slow as there's almost a minute long chant/song performed by ichibe but the music added to it is very interesting and then there's beautiful usage of CG. The opening and ending are insanely beautiful and full of energy and the visuals are stunning especially the opening visuals. There's a poem like all the TYBW episodes at the ending and also the title of the next episode. Two keyword cards are also given with information about Ichibe and Senjumaru's power Shigarami.
