Thoughts

Yes, sure, I could describe this episode in detail but I don't see the point. Last episode was a flashback episode and this one is an even bigger diversion from the main story. The preview for the next episode seems to indicate that they will be getting back to the Soul Society in the next episode.

Thoughts

This isn't bad. I like the ending but as short as this episode is it felt like it could have been shorter or that they should have filled it with something more interesting than just the operations.
