Anime Salvation

I think I will not use my Super awesome banner for one week and just go with a week of non Katimusha reviews anime reviews now say that 5 times fast week of non Katimusha reviews anime reviews…. yeah im not even going to write it that many times. The answer to the question you are asking yourself is Yes…. I am insane and yes this is Katimusha doing this review so feel privileged that you are reading this crappy review. Lets see while I’m here lets get this review started as I believe I have taken up way too much of your precious time talking about nothing.

REVIEW

Since this is not a Katimusha Reviews review its just a regular review thus there will just be the review part so enjoy.

Alright this is the first episode of the Pendulum arc which is set 100 or so odd years before the present day bleach so you get to see slightly younger versions of characters and other stuff like that. Also the opening and ending themes are still the same which is very very lame because they should change them for the new arc.  The animation is actually much better than the animation that’s been shown the last two days  and matches what has been shown in the Huecto Mundo arc in my opinion. The plot is what made this episode worth watching though its based off of the Turn back the pendulum only 1 chapter of the manga was used the rest is original animation. Which is pretty darn good animation for something that’s not from the manga it actually fits in well. I was actually surprised how how good this episode was really especially since we went through some horrible filler just recently. I will have to give bleach 206 a 4.5 out of 5 because its actually good so you should watch it or you will be missing out.

BiggityB: So lets start by saying episode 206 is the start of yet another arc for the Bleach anime. However, it may throw you off a little at first (if you are like me and do not read the manga). Why is that you ask? Well, because its actually a Bleach history lesson called Turn Back the Pendulum.

So let me fill you in. First off, most notably is

Aizen is a vice-captain of the 5 Division and Shingi Hirako (remember the Vizards?) is it’s captain. Vizard Love Aikawa is the Captain of the 7th Division. Hiyori Sarugaki is Vice Captain of the 12th Division. Lisa Yadomaru (you know, the vizard in a sailor fuku, reading erotic manga lol) is vice captain in the 8th Division.

Captain Kirio Hikifune is mysteriously mentioned. She is promoted to the Zero Division (The Royal Guard),a secret group composed only of former captains. We do not even get to see her or the current Captain of the 11th Division. All I gotta say is Aizen had great interest in her promotion. I think we will see  and learn more of Hikifune soon.

Urahara Kisuke (at the time of 206 he is 3rd seat of the 2nd Division) was another surprise for me. In this episode they get into the relationship he has with 2nd Division Captain Yoruichi.

Yoruichi is up for recommending Urahara for Captain of the 12th Division. Soifon (whom is totally against this) follows Urahara around to gather up anything negative she can show to Yoruichi. Soifon presents her evidence to Yoruichi only to have it laughed off as not important.

I always liked Urahara, so I was thrilled to have seen this episode. Bleach 206 has me eagerly ready for episode 207. My review of this episode is 5/5 for a perfect start to a new arc.

Katimusha: well here is the episode so in case you missed it you can watch it. In a few days you will see a bleach 207 review so just keep your eyes open.
