I like it, the song is great and the opening itself brings me back to some of the earlier openings from so long ago.

I like the opening, but the ending is really...it looks like Ishida is ichigo's girl or something...lol xd

[qchanlover.livejournal.com]

what!? I eneed to see this!!

[fois.livejournal.com]

why are they fighting against themselves ohhlala

[burn1ngcha0s.livejournal.com]

'Cause that's your typical Gotei 13? :D

[femmelujah.livejournal.com]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[gokuma.livejournal.com]

Awwww..! Shunsui and Ukitake are standing together... AGAIN! ^______^ *is a devoted ShunUki shipper*

[nyxviola.livejournal.com]

Glad I'm not the only one that they are shipped hard in the OP (and in the episode, too)! XD

[milkymao.livejournal.com]

Why no Orihime???

[mistyowl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I noticed that as well. Maybe because it's like a battle sequence, and since she doesn't fight...(?)

[rusky-boz.livejournal.com]

Did I miss Orihime in the opening or there's no Orihime at all? X'D
The fight scenes are fangasmic <3____<3 Don't like the song though u__u

OMG, the ending... So gay. I loved it, hahaha. That scene with Ishida and Chad looked so shippy XD Why is the ending centered on Ishida though? Not that I'm complaining What is happening in the filler? @_@

[nehalenia.livejournal.com]

When I first saw the OP I thought I saw Orihime (done in the same way Ishida and Chad are in the first 20 secs or so) but I don't see her now. I guess I thought that flash of Ichigo was her due to the similar hair color. As has been noted, her absence may be due to the OP being mostly battle sequences.

[valentineninja.livejournal.com]

Kenpachi is made of so much win! --fangirls--

[moehoshi.livejournal.com]

Ishida~~~~ ;A;

[nehalenia.livejournal.com]

Damn! DAT ENDING! O_O

Yeah, I'm loving the IchiIshi fanservice there. (And about time we got some, too!) Tsundere, thy name is Ishida. XD Also, I love how gorgeous the animation is, especially of Ishida's face. SP almost never makes him look as good as KT does, but that ending is exceptionally nice.

I also like the OP animation, too. If we can believe it as foreshadowing (which I'm not sure we can), it promises some interesting battles and some Chad & Ishida involvment. I suppose we shall see.

*goes back to playing the ED over and over and over...*

[gorgeous-moth.livejournal.com]

Tsundere, thy name is Ishida.

oh heck, this made me LOL...in a good way. :D

[redgreendress.livejournal.com]

Oh gawd, the ending. When did the anime go yaoi??? Just when I thought it was irredeemable.

[peca-06.livejournal.com]

WOW! Check out the ICHI-ISHI on the ED o__O lol so cute <3333 fufufu
I don't know about the OP, is kinda blah to me. OH, well for a filler that I won't watch, so I don't really care XD.

[qwirky.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the OP seemed too busy and messy to me. It was as though it desperately wanted to imitate earlier OP styles, but it ended up being like a train wreck IMO. Throw in parts of Asterisk and Tonightx3 and other OPs, you end up with this OP. I also didn't like the song.

The ED is hilarious~ It's ridiculously Ishi->Ichi. So much fan service. Don't forget, SP, Bleach has many yaoi/BL fan girls, so you must cater to them once in a while. XD Also, I really loved the scenes of post-training Ichigo and Mugetsu!Ichigo. <333

[animeangel4eva.livejournal.com]

OP is great, ED is a real treat for Ishida x Ichigo fans, I mean really, that last scene!!! XDDD

[http://users.livejournal.com/_debbiechan_/]

I have to admit--Studio Perriot and I have signed temporary reconciliation papers. XD We still have TRUST issues but I enjoyed this first episode and if the fight scenes are animated well, I'll tune in.

Also, the IchiIshi ED with the beautifully animated ISHIDA--YOU KNOW HOW TO FANSERVICE ME, SP! OMG.

[la-kalaka.livejournal.com]

LOL to your divorce metaphore xDDDDDDDDDDDDD.... LOOOOOOOOOOOL! XD

*YAY FOR ISHIICHI FANSERVICE ARF!*

[mistyowl.livejournal.com]

I didn't really like the OP to be honest, it's not bad , it's just ... blah. The ED, however, got me laughing all the way to the end (Ichi-ishi is now officially canon XD)

Some theories

[(Anonymous)]

I love the OP !!

About the ED, here what I wrote on BA. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it makes sense :

Someone said something that I find interesting on another forum : This ED is a Ishida centric, and it's a little 'special' (don't get me wrong, I love Ishida) since he doesn't seem to be central in this arc, and why Ishida especially among all the Nakamas ?

Well, maybe each of the Nakamas (Orihime, Ishida and Chad) will have their ED-centric. I don't know, this remains me the ED 3 where it was the case (with each L/C team that had their ED). Sorry if this doesn't make sense, sometimes my english is bad.

Okay, maybe I'm crazy and I overanalyze things, but I really think it's that. Look at the beginning of this ED, we can see all the symbols of each Nakamas, then the last one is that of Ishida and it shines. I'm very confident that those of Orihime and Chad will shine in another version of this ED. Each his/her turns.

[miss-ragdoll.livejournal.com]

OP is Blah... I've seen a lot better, even those I sworn I didn't like and then ended up watching over and over again XD I looks like a RPG, everybody fighting the other... is this to please fans? Suuure XD

OMG DA ENDING. After this, how do we tell ByaKen scary crazy yaoi fans not to ship a non confirmed yaoi pairing? I mean... that look... I dunno what to think anymore xD It's cute in a strange way. Guess I'll be stuck with bright Ichigo's smile :D

[nehalenia.livejournal.com]

Why on earth would you ever tell scary crazy yaoi fans not to ship ByaKen? (Or any other pairing, for that matter?) ;) Since when does "canon" or "confirmation" have anything to do with shipping? XD

[airisu7425.livejournal.com]

Both are total 'like' for me. But because of the IchiIshi fling-thing, the ED is closer to my heart. :3 Btw - why only boys are allowed to have fanservice? Girls need their share, too! XDXD

[mochavalentino.livejournal.com]

OH MY GAHHH!! The IchiIshi just made my week. I really /really/ wasn't expecting that. I'm tempted to start watching again just so I can see that every time.

[cyanglow]

OP: Oh look, Shinigami. Well, the manga hasn't got 'em now so...

ED: Why is Ishida the pretty princess focus in this? NOT complaining at all, just seemed strange to me. LMAO at the last few seconds though. XD Ichigo is all, "Hey, baby! Want a kiss?" And Ishida is all, "You moron! Not when there are slavering fangirls/boys watching!"

Studio Pierrot, you so silly.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_debbiechan_/]

Ichigo is all, "Hey, baby! Want a kiss?" And Ishida is all, "You moron! Not when there are slavering fangirls/boys watching!"

LAWLS, that is EXACTLY how I saw it. Haha, I'm going to watch this a million times now.

But what about the episode!!?

[(Anonymous)]

Aside from the OP and END, I'm just excited about the Ichiruki-ness of the new episode (317) The second I saw Ichigo carrying Rukia I was squeeling like a small child who found an easter egg. Even though it is a filler arc it might be worth the watch if I can get the Rukia fix that the manga isn't giving me right now :)

Re: But what about the episode!!?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_debbiechan_/]

I'll post something about the episode tomorrow I think. I have reconcilliation papers with SP being written up. ATM I've got another Hell Cold (srsly the daughter being in school now is bringing me all the viruses I never knew existed for the past 10 yrs) and I'll see if I can't get some Kubo tweet translations and episode musings up. ACHOO.

[afteriwake.livejournal.com]

I seriously can't wait for the full versions of both to come out. And please oh please can we please get Kenpachi vs Byakuya during this arc? Please? And URYUU! Lots of Uryuu in the ending! I was happy.

[matilda8.livejournal.com]

the opening: i like some parts the static ones but with the others the images just went to fast that it was hard for me to follow the song is good though.

about the ending: i cant belive it, im at my office and i cant stop smiling my workinig partener is just looking at me like if im crazy smiling for myself, suddenlñy he ask me why are you smiling tell me the joke lol like a could say.

but for me is really surprinsing ´cause is the most romantic ed ever lol and i cant belive that is between ichixishi not my favorite yaoi couple in fact i never had supported them but i would have to give them a chance since now is canon lol will see.

[cyanglow]

"since now is canon"

LOL WHAT? No. XD

[jczala.livejournal.com]

I'm loving the IchiIshi fanservice!!! I'm not into the OP that much. The ED was love for me. LOL...

[tuna-sama.livejournal.com]

Dat ED..... I can't take it anymore....
This is my happiest day of my entire life XD.
