Bleach episode 6 review

Rukia goes to the Urahara Shop where we meet Mr. Hat & Clogs. He sells her a gigai for Ichigo, but as it turns out, it’s a defective product, damaged goods. It’s apparently all poor Ururu’s fault.

At no fault of her own, Rukia uses the gigai on Ichigo to help him go fight a random Hollow. In the meantime, Ichigo’s body is now acting bizarre, trying to make love to Orihi- wait a minute, I’m all for this! Ichigo’s body kissing Orihime’s hand… oh do I wish I could have screenshotted the whole thing!

Anyway, this episode becomes hilarious once Soul Reaper Ichigo starts fighting Gigai Ichigo. Tatsuki, who was already enraged over Gigai’s actions earlier, just becomes madder and madder until she’s burning in rage. It’s her rage that makes much of this episode absolutely hilarious. That, and Gigai seemingly kicking and punching thin air right in front of all the students, as he actually is battling Soul Reaper Ichigo.

You’ll get a kick out of this episode even if you don’t understand Bleach. This is humor at its finest.

Bleach episode 5 review

So, this episode is mostly a dull one, the first such one of Bleach. There is some funny stuff with Chad punching thin air, but the majority of this episode is taken up by the Hollow that everyone is fighting against, taking the time to go on a long rant. Eventually, Ichigo beats him and gets rid of him, sending him to the Underworld.

Not really all that much to talk about thanks to how long the Hollow went on and on and on. Chad’s way of fighting without being able to see the Hollow was quite humorous, though.

Bleach episode 4 review

We are introduced to Chad in this episode, which begs the question, what the hell happened with him? He became a nobody once we got past episode 100 or so. We are also introduced to the juice box. Rukia can’t open it no matter how hard she tries. There’s a certain charm with Rukia that makes her so lovable. Can’t wait for her to get together with Renji 400 episodes from now and start popping out some Soul Reaper babies.

Karin and Isshin also play roles in this episode, where people have to go to the hospital, in the middle of a Hollow attack. Rukia tries taking it on by herself and fails, because she doesn’t have her Soul Reaper powers anymore. Meanwhile, Ichigo runs down the street with Karin in his arms. This can’t end well. (But it does.)

Bleach episode 3 review

So, a Hollow is after Orihime. Tatsuki takes some collateral damage in the process; Tatsuki also may be up for the award of “best character who never did anything” in anime history. The Hollow turns out to be Orihime’s dead brother. But there is Ichigo, saving Orihime, for the first (but not nearly the last) time. IchiHime has begun!

The funniest part of this episode comes after the whole battle is over. Rukia pulls out something that looks like a Pez dispenser (“Ha ha, the Pez dispenser!”) and uses it as a “memory replacer.” Now there’s something I totally forgot about. File that away under “one of those things that happens early on and quietly disappears from the plot.”

Best girl of the episode: Orihime (2), though I thought about giving it to both Tatsuki and Rukia
