Bleach

[Haiko]

another year of fillers? thank god i stopped watching Bleach long time ago...

[Koul]

how fast did the anime take to catch up to the manga after the bount arc?

[kuronosan]

Relatively quickly... they went to the Amagai arc right after the Grimmjow fight. I believe the FKT fights were just about to start at that point.

[Sho]

Couldn't they have done like... 3-5 months of filler? 1 year of filler is too-fucking-long.

whose side are we on

We see the reactions of the shinigami and aizen's group.
Hisagi, breathing faintly, stares at Kensei.
Hirako says there are people from the gotei 13 he wanted greet after such a long time, but not everyone is there.
Lisa silently goes over to Kyouraku.
She steps on his head and asks how long he's going to pretend he's dead. Then she presses down with her foot.
Kyouraku tells her she's gotten pretty in the time he hasn't seen her. She kicks him away in disgust.
Kyouraku: "I'm glad your healthy!" "Fool!" "...Really..." (Seems like they're talking about the past?)
Hirako go to Yama-jii and asks if he's let go of his past grudge. To Aizen he says matters are different with him.

Hacchi creates a barrier room(?)
The 1st Division VC looks at it and finally goes in. At first he's hesitant, but then goes in to watch the progress of the battle.
Yama-jii asks if he can consider them allies.

"We are not your allies. We are Aizen's enemies. In truth, we're Ichigo's allies." He returns to the vizards.
WW screams and a large number of gillians come out of Superchunky's mouth.
The vizards all don their masks.

Rose's is like a bird. Love's is like a demon/ogre. Lisa's has a cross in it. Hacchi's is like Nel's fraccion with the big face.

Translation of the Ohana spoiler by CG:

Tousen, Gin and Aizen are surprised by Hirako's appearance.
Surprised Yama-jii asks, "Are you our allies?" and gets the answer (from Hirako judging by the kansai))), "We're Ichigo's allies"
Lisa goes to Kyouraku's side and is relieved to see that he's ok.
Wonderwise shouts and Gin says, "Wht a strange child. I don't like him".
Tousen answers, "Be quiet and just watch".
Lotsa Gillians appear.
Hirako and others put on their masks and prepare to fight.
The end

Dear me. A year goes by since we last see Yamamoto's VC and all he does is hide.

Filler Arc* I should've corrected myself. 1 or 2 filler episodes are fine but no more Bunto Arc please.

Again, load that gun, because this is going to be a Bounto Arc type filler as far as length goes.

[Milkster]

Damn it...

[Stiker]

Look at the bright side though, this filler is really story that Kubo wanted to put in the manga but couldn't find a way to do so. Seeing the materializations of all the zanpaktos actually does interest me quite a bit. At least it does have some potential.

[Souj]

It could be pretty good. The manga's only hinted at the other zanpaktous personalities, and I'm a little interested to see them. half the people who have spoken about their spirits seem to say they dont get along.

[kuronosan]

Well, some summaries of the filler arc plotline:

Spoiler: show

Featured zanpakuto: Rukia, Renji, Byakuya, Hisagi, Hitsugaya, Soifon, amongst others.

Synopsis: A rogue spirit suddenly arrives in Soul Society, demanding all of the zanpakutou of the shinigami or else. The zanpakutou begin materializing before the shinigami and our story begins...
