Featured reviews
One of the most awaited BANKAI.
The humblest and coolest Head captain used his bankai for the first time in series. As we know Shunsui is very humble because he visited ichigos friends by going by himself in world of living to tell ichigos will never come back I don't think Yamamoto will do that but shunsui does it he is one of the greatest Head Captain.
I don't know correctly what happens next but I am sure a big plot twist will happen .
Everyone who even doesn't watch bleach knows about Bankai: Katen Kyokotsu: Karamatsu Shinju they have heard about it. Now it happened.
The animators made a great job.
Everyone is happy.

Oh my god where do i begin with this one.
Acting: 10/10 Pace: 10/10 Storytelling: 10/10 Animation: 10/10 Writing: 10/10 End: 10/10
I know giving all categories a 10/10 may be considered glazing in this situation but when it comes to this episode, it is most definetely deserved.
A spoiler free review: This episode felt like a 5 minutes episode, it was so well paced i didnt feel the time passing at all. The scenes are not dragged out or underdeveloped in order to save budget for the more hyped up ones but rather each one is well executed(thanks to the animation directors), pace is by far a 10/10. The voice acting is as anyone would expect from bleach, number one!(you see what i did there😅). As far as the storytelling and writing, it is filled with great dialogues, new powers well explained so we can understand what is happening throughout the episode. The manga scenes have an almost perfect-perfect adaption for sure with really nothing to change in it. The end is will be a cliffhunger for manga readers and anime-only fans who are not spoiled up to this moment will have to wait till next week to understand it.
Overall best episode this cour on part with 3x5 a clean 10/10 for sure. The onlyh thing that had some room for improvement were some moderate-ok cgi in the episode but nothing major to lower the rating in my opinion.
