    3x6 The holy newborn

    Acting: 8/10 Pace: 9/10 Story: 9/10 Writing: 10/10 Animation: 9.5/10 End: 10/10

    Similar to the previous episode, this is a more dialogue-based episode without any fights, yet it prepares us for the upcoming episodes. Some could consider this episode a filler but i dont see it that way.

    To begin with, some new faces are back from way way back. The story progression in this episode might have been a bit slow but still the writing and the dialogues between the characters was fantastic.

    This episode focuses on 3 main places. The gotei 13 and the execution of their plan from previous episode, Yhwach and his royal guards at the royale palace and finally ichigo's group.

    Without having a next level animation, it was pretty good and the voice acting was on point with some goofs in their dialogues.

    Lastly, at the end the animators and directors are preparing us for some of the most hyped up moments to come in the next episode which will have more action and fighting, leaving us eager for next week.

    Overall this was a great episode and i rated it a 9/10. For the last heavy dialogue episode, it was done as good as it could but since nothing major and the story progression didnt move as much as i would expect i cant give it a 10/10. I konw next week wont dissapoint and will keep cour 3 as the best cour yet to all the fans out there.

    A calm episode

    The final prepare for the last fights of a great war It was a good ep with some clarifications of how the garganta and dangai works. The assemble of all the soul reapers and hollows and fullbringers all of them against yhwach's squad. I expect nice fights with great animations and hope to see some of sakuga.

    Poor thing we will not see aizen in action anymore till the next season But i still hyped for the upcoming bankais.

    I think there will be also some additional scenes. And i hope so especially some new fights.

    After waiting years to see the most powerful bankais in bleach. Finally i will witness it.
