Bleach episode 287 review
You don’t know what we can find… Ichigo reborn in the land of Aladdin and the magic lamp? While that sounds ridiculous, that’s underselling it. This one is wild. A filler episode to end all filler. Ichigo keeps getting reminded that he’s in a dream, while the story of Bleach is retold in Arabian Nights fashion.
There were several laugh-out-loud moments in this episode, which is big because I just don’t laugh unless something is really funny. So kudos to Bleach on producing a filler episode that even I can enjoy. Bonus points for the final segment, which makes this entire episode work. This wasn’t Ichigo’s dream at all! Even though he and others kept breaking the fourth wall to the point that my screen was smashed, telling us over and over again that this was Ichigo’s dream, this was actually all the dream of… Isane Kotetsu??? Way to pick a random character to wrap everything up. What an episode. All filler episodes should dream of being as funny as this one.
Best girl of the episode: Rukia (52) (or, should I say, Ruki-Ruki?)
Episode rating: 8/10
