Honestly - I've given up on this anime a long time ago. The first 60 or so episodes were one of so very very few that hooked me this much. Then it all went wrong. Changing and censoring the manga, lousy filler arcs, to much talking and material stretching and a notable drop in quality.
Yet today I watched ep 201 (call it curiosity) and I was pleasantly surprised. The material is still stretched and we can't go back to the old-school sword fighting but this was closer to the good old days than it was for over 50 episodes IMO - good mindless entertainment.
Maybe it's because I worship Zaraki or maybe because of the badass choral insert music but this wasn't half bad I tell you ... 8)
