Acting: 9.5/10 Pace: 10/10 Story: 10/10 Animation: 10/10 End: 10/10
Without spoiling anything, by far the best episode this cour so far. In this episode there isnt an fighting or other kind of action going but instead we have an episode fully focused on the aftermath from previous one and an update to where the previous cour left off which hadnt been picked up yet in those previous episodes. A character is re-introduced after a long waiting. Also lets not forget to mention that thiss episode fixes the pace problem of the last 4 episodes.

The most hyped up scene and best scene by far was Aizen's hado 90. The animation was done perfectly, and the way they showcase aizen at the start is also amazing
The worst executed part of this episode in my opinion is how when aizen does his hado 90 all the captains/lieutenants how they go back to the r&d and suddently back at the battle field without animating a single frame of them doing it just happening in a few seconds.
