261. Alright, I'll admit it. This episode was decent. It wasn't great, but it was much better than I had expected. Sadly I'm fairly sure that this was a stand alone episode, which means that none of the characters or the plot will show up next week. However I have two questions. The first is, she was trying to track her victim by a key chain animal? Not by say...address or anything but by something that many girls in the city must have? Second, while I'm glad Orihime actually appeared in this episode would it have been too much to ask for her to handle this herself? Does she really need Shinigami helping her at every turn? The Shinigami Illustrated Picture Book was amusing, especially considering that I think we know more about Komamura than we do about Sasakibe*.
