Lethan's Recommendation:

In which Yumichika makes some bad choices, Uryuu makes some questionable choices, Hitsugaya makes no choices because Giselle is making choices for him, and Kurotsuchi makes some excellent choices.

Lethan apologizes for this one. Del doesn't. Enjoy :)

In this weeks episode, Nomi and Lethan discuss the power of the mind and the fight between Gremmy and Kenpachi, where Yachuri went and how Ichigo's friends are always there for him, unless they're Uryu.

In this episode, Lethan fan-souls shamelessly over Rukia's new bankai to a willing Nomi as the two dive into the unusual manga and anime differences - from Renji's cut fight to Kyoraku and Kurotsuchi bickering like an old married couple.

Del's Recommendation: https://www.tumblr.com/annas-anya/722705567591841793/aishin-on-vacation?source=share

Sunflowers, dire straits, hot boys, training montages, and a decided appreciation for the Department of Research & Development abound in this episode. In other words, Bleach is back, and so are we!

But no, for real - would you betray your best friend or nah?
