The first half of this episode reminded me of those horrible american cartoons, in which someone or something has been caught and the main character has to do some kind of treasure hunt/quest in order to get it back… I’m also curious about the motives of the new bad guys. Why the heck would they capture her? Do they want something from Ichigo, or were they just in the neighbourhood and found it a nice idea to drop by and say "Hi!" in a kindof eccentric way? And why would they organize such a treasure hunt in order to do it?
I do like the bad guys themselves. They show lots of potential, and seem better antagonists than Aizen and his gang.
Oh, and btw, the new ED is too cute. ^^
