Bleach
Episode 287 - Number 1422

Side Story! Ichigo and the Magic Lamp

Opening 12 - Change by Miwa
Ending 24 - Echoes by Universe

This week on Bleach...
In a special episode, Ichigo and a number of other characters take part in an alternate world that hinges closely on the stories of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp.

Last time on Bleach...

Spoiler:

Ichigo arrived at where Rukia, Chad, and Renji were after Rukia was thrown by Yammy. He then cut Yammy slightly with a point-blank Getsuga Tensho using a new Hollow mask, but was unable to wear it again. Yammy took advantage of the situation and grabbed Ichigo, with an intent of crushing him with his bare hands. Byakuya and Kenpachi saved Ichigo by cutting one of Yammy's legs off. Mayuri Kurotsuchi then arrived and told everyone that he managed to analyze the Garganta and offered to send Ichigo back to Karakura Town through it. Byakuya reminded Ichigo that his duty was supposed to be protecting Karakura Town, and not fighting at Hueco Mundo. After, Retsu Unohana decided to go along with Ichigo.

Bleach. Only Toonami.

Previously on Bleach: Kenpachi and Byakuya nab the fight against Yammy so that Ichigo can nab the fight against Aizen. Indeed, there is much nabbing to be had in Bleach.

Ah damn, a filler ep.

Looks like an Arabian fashion boutique threw up on him.

[JShaggy]

Great. Bleach goes Arabian Nights this episode.

[trance2009]

Is that you, Yoruichi?

Nyyyaaann.....

[FFmax]

Wow, are they serious? Adding random filler a time like this?

[Kitschensyngk]

Which Clash video did HE escape from?

No, it's Mr. Mumbles OF COURSE IT'S YORUICHI!!

Aww dammit, MORE FILLER?? HOW THE HELL MUCH LONGER CAN THEY DRAG THIS OUT?!?

[Nobodyman]

Incidentally, I started reading Magi today.

I don't think these middle-eastern wardrobes are entirely accurate.

[Hypeathon]

*facepalm*

Crap! I forgot about this episode. What is it with anime and this kind of story anyway?

[Rynnec]

Is it wrong that I like this episode more than the canon ones?

[Kitschensyngk]

WHAT THE KRAKATOA EAST OF HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!?

"You sure you're not just making this up as you go along?"
I assume you guys have been for about three years now.

[animePWNS]

Did I just hear an 8-bit treasure-finding tone just now?

[Nobodyman]

Is it wrong that I like this episode more than the canon ones?

Not in the least.

Anyway, let's me how many contemporary middle-east jokes we can cram into the span of this episode.

Shouldn't Orihime be wearing a Burqa?

[MasterofRoku]

It just got Indiana jones for a second there.

[trance2009]

"Lasers? That's a cliche AND an anachronism!"

Haha.

[Nobodyman]

"That's cliche and an anachronism!"

Okay, that was good.

Rukia? Well, I was kinda hoping for Robin Williams, but eh...

Why does Rukia's voice keep changing?

[Hypeathon]

I wish this anime ended.......................................................... wait.

[animePWNS]

Don't be dropping a lot of PH-bombs their, Ichigo.

[Kitschensyngk]

Wait a second. There's four of them, don't they each get three wishes?

Uh oh. Renji genie. A genie who sucks at granting wishes.

Didn't they save her once already?

[MasterofRoku]

The Lamp Society Arc. So Original!

[JShaggy]

So, this is basically a rehash of the first season-and-a-half, but in Arabia form.
