Another overly stretched, but good, episode.

Team Kakashi and the spy are finally going to meet. Yamato transforms himself in Sasori, in a very funny moment, and proceeds to the bridge. And the spy is Kabuto? Seems unlikely, since Kabuto always seemed to like Orochimaru. Anyway, Orochimaru himself is watching.

The animation was well done, with some cool moments. Orochimaru’s first appearance was powerful and the music complemented everything really well.

I hope the next episode makes good use of the fights, or at least build tension for an awesome future episode, like the one with Sakura.

I’m glad to see that this episode didn’t disapoint. There’s some new footage of the movie in the OP and a new preview at the end. I can’t wait to see this one, seems a lot better than all the previous Naruto/Bleach movies.

This episode showed a little of everything that is happening.

It was really cool that Dordinni tried to help Ichigo. His thoughts for Ichigo were also deep. Renji and and "big guy" really made me laugh with their crazy diaolgue. Also, Chad seems to have already encountered an arrancar and to be having problems. Rukia has also encountered an arrancar, but.. it is.. Kaien-dono??

There was also some time to show Aizen. He seems to be liking the fact that he is being evaded. 

This episode was a lot better than the last, but it’s still far from perfect.

Ichigo is really week right now. He is forced into Bankai, and he still isn’t strong enouth to win. He has to use his Hollow powers. But will this powers be enough for the higher ranked Arrancars?

We start to uncover some of Nel’s special abilities and secrets. How can she eat ceros? And have medical abilities?

We are also told arrancar 103’s story, how the espadas were replaced and why he really needs to fight Ichigo at full power.

This episode’s animation was good enough, not great, but enough for a decent episode.

I hope the show doesn’t decrease it’s quality again. Even if the studio is saving for the most important fights, it’s still no reason to make this ones crappy.

Jiraya knows what Pein is now, but he is dying. His throat is trashed and he can’t talk. He starts losing consciousness and we are shown a flashback.

It seems that Jiraya’s erotic novels weren’t the only books he wrote. There was another, about a ninja that never gave up. This book is, supposedly, the one he was fated to wrote, and the one that was related to the prophecy child. If Naruto is this child, then, it is almost certain that we will defeat evil and bring peace to the world.

Jiraya thinks about what defines a truly great ninja, his actions before death. So, choosing not to give up, he comes back to life and uses some type of jutsu or technique to pass Pein’s information to the toad. The toad understands and Jiraya dies..

The story seems to be ending, will Naruto be up to the task of defeating Pein? What will happen to him now that he met Tobi? Tobi must be confident to have come face to face with so many Konoha ninjas, is he still trying to take the Kyuubi? How will the other situations evolve? Sasuke vs Itachi, the other Hebi "members" and Kisame?

"Teamwork is for pussies" lol.

This chapter continues the fight of the two bosses against the 3 most powerful guys of the Osaka team. It seems they don’t really care about their teammates.

There’s some really cool fighting and the Osaka leader gets trashed pretty well, he won’t do much until this hunt is over. They finish the two monsters, but still realize that this hunt is strange, the enemies are too powerful. I think their team as only know realized that something is changing in Gantz.

The head of the true 100 pointer finds it’s body and becomes complete again. Seems like the real fight is only starting.

What has the rest of the Tokyo team been doing? I’m really getting pissed at them. I wish Kurono was still in the team, even Daizaemon is lacking some balls, although I understand he has to protect Takeshi.

This series has so many mysteries, I’m really eager to know what’s going on, where the vamps, the aliens and Gantz all came from and what happens now to the two vamps that got trapped in the Gantz team.

Galatea continues to fight other Miata and Clarice. I initially though she had the advantage, but after losing her arm, things are going to get difficult. It’s cool that the two guards from the Holy City have appeared again.

The youma that the guards heard was actually a former number 2. Seems like Galatea was waiting for claymores to arrive in order to get help in defeating the awakened being. It was a really cool moment when the guard (can’t remeber is name) tried to get the awakened and when the awakened being got "surrounded" by Galatea and Miata. The plan goes wrong, because Clarice makes it a priority to deal with Galatea. I think the two guards will eventually convince the two claymores to help Galatea defeat the awakened. It’s really just being smart, I don’t think Miata and Clarice have any chance of defeating an awakened former number 2.

If Galatea survives, it would be cool that she joined ranks with Claire. Maybe they will even get the city help. Although, it’s not clear what there objectives are at the moment. Of course, everyone’s first priority is to defeat Priscilla, but then what? The organization will probably not change its methods. Will Claire and her friends be hunted for ever?

I’m looking foward for the next chapters. This is truly one the best series I’ve read making a solid combination of shonen and seinen. I only wish chapters were released with smaller intervals, as I tend to forget what’s going on lol.
