C&C - Bleach - "Ishida's Strategy, 20-Second Offense and Defense" (164) [11/7]

Bleach is on at 12:30am and 1:00am eastern with two brand new episodes!

Last time:
Spoiler:
Orihime was rescued from Loly and Menoly by Grimmjow, who claims he was repaying Orihime for restoring his arm and promptly kills both Loly and Menoly. He tells Orihime that he needs her help, and takes her with him. (However, Orihime chose to heal both Loly and Menoly before they leave.) Meanwhile, Uryū found that his arrival was expected by Szayel, and his attacks are useless against both the Espada and his Fracción. Renji saves Uryu from a fatal blow, and the two prepared to work together to take down their common foe.


Today: Stuff and more stuff and, stuff that may shock and/or surprise you. What is it? Tune in to find out!

NO SPOILERS: NO TALK OF FUTURE ARCS, EVENTS, AND ETC! ALL SPOILER TALK MUST REMAIN ON THE ANIME FORUM! PLEASE SUPPORT THE DUB WATCHERS! =D

Note: New episodes end on November 21st, the series will go on hiatus and the diamond dust rebellion will air on December 9th, so watch out for that.


And the Espada list, which has been newly updated:
Spoiler:


So from left to right we have
Ulquiorra (Rank: 4) - Is fairly cold and indifferent to most and one of Aizen's most loyal Espada responsible for kidnapping Orihime and mentally trying to break her. (Which apparently isn't working too well since she's given him the slap of doom)

Starrk (Formerly known as Lazy Bones. Rank: Unknown) - All we know is the guy likes his sleep.

Nnoitra (Formerly known as Spoonhead. Rank: Unknown) - Is tall and has a creepy smile made even more creepy by the fact he sounds like Dean Venture hitting puberty. Nnoitra has a Fraccion (an Arrancar chosen by an Espada to follow them) named Tesla and does not like fighting weak opponents wanting to be acknowledged as the strongest even if he already thinks he is.

Harribel (Formerly known as Mrs. Underboob/Censorboob. Rank: Unknown) - The only female Espada who got her nickname due to her arrancar uniform, which as you can see was censored when it hit the anime. So, the nickname kinda... makes no sense. Meh :/

Aaroniero Arruruerie (DECEASED) (Rank: 9th. Former Nickname: Mr. Bubbles. Arrancar Zanpakto: Glotoneria). Aaronierio is the only Gillian member of the Espada. A two-headed weirdo who can actually absorb a hollow's abilities and powers when it dies. He actually ate the hollow who ate Kaien which explains why he can take his form. He's also the first Espada to show off his resurrecion which is some sort of giant.. purple tentacle monster with two jaws on either side of his body. He has the power of 30 thousand hollows (approximately) and, the potential to use all of their powers in his resurrecion form. He was killed by Rukia by being stabbed in the head from her third dance, San no Mai: Shirafune.

Yammy (Rank: 10th) -The first Espada we've met and from what we've seen: he's really dumb and fairly easy to beat. If you're not Orihime or Chad that is.

Old Guy (Nickname Due To Not Being Named Yet. Rank: Unknown) Nothing really know about him besides the fact he's... old.

Szayel Aporro Granz (Rank: 8th Former Nickname: NERDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD and The Prissy one) - Szayel is apparently the scientist of Hueco Mundo and enjoys collecting new experiments to work on, even those of his fallen team-mates as well as watching old videos from 40 episodes ago. He is currently facing Renji and without any effort seemingly destroys his Bankai....Uryu has now jumped in as well.

Affirmative Action Arrancar (Nickname Due To Not Being Named Yet. Rank: Unknown) - He's Affirmative action because he's the only true black arrancar/Espada in the anime. Yammy's more mexcian, Underboob's a mulatto and Tousen isn't an arrancar.

Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez - (Rank: 6th) Ichigo's Espada rival who recently reclaimed his spot after taking out the replacement 6th Espada Luppi. His rage and rebelling attitude also makes him one of the more popular Espada, especially around here.

Dude PUT THAT SYNOPSIS IN SPOILER TAGS! No one who comes into this talkback should know about what happened in 163 yet if 163 hasn't aired. Really we're suppose to be preventing spoilers (those who create talkbacks) not creating more of them for no good reason.

I wonder how this episode will look, being this is the first episode to be shot in widescreen.

It'll look the same. They don't switch to widescreen until episode 168, when the next filler arc starts.

You sure, for some reason I thought it was 164.

Nope, it's 168 that starts the Widscreen episodes when Season 8 starts.

Spoiler:
This becomes especially apparent later when flashbacks of this ep are shown in a widscreen ep and the flashback clip is given more black background space due to it being from the normal fullscreen era before the switch to widescreen

I figured this was what you meant by "changing the way we look at Bleach forever" over the last week or two...

Bleach doesn't flip over to widescreen until 168, which is the start of the second filler arc. Adult Swim will be taking a break at 167 (the final fullscreen episode), so they'll hopefully go with the widescreen next season.

zoombie, this show will never be in HD. Even when 168 comes and they aired it in widescreen, it would mean nothing to me if I can't view it in real HD. No anime is in HD in America, unless [adult swim] is really airing GITS and Death Note in HD at 3 am.

Also, here's something for those who hate recaps, since everyone's doing it. During the recap at the start of this episode, play this. Call it an effective time killer and makes you save your strength for other things. So, sit back and enjoy...

Macho Madness in Left 4 Dead 1! Especially since I'm now seeing the ads for the sequel on [as]!

Last time: Uyru gains some EXP points for bailing out Renji, while Grimmjow breaks up a one-sided catfight.

(But I like doing my own recaps!)

Last Time: Grimmjow gets points by beating up the she-demons. But Orihime, out of the kindess of her heart, heals them. Uyru fights Szayel but things might be as easy as he thought.

SHOWTIME!

Previously on Bleach: Grimmjow exponentially increases is rep by showing the b***h duo what's what, Szayel psyches Uryu out by faking his death, and Orihime takes the whole Good Samaritan thing a bit too far.
