Bleach 197 is out and has been for a little while! The .avi is available in the DL section and here's the streaming:
This weeks episode contained sneak peak promotions for Bleach: Fade to Black, which made for a pretty cool OP I think. Not to mention the movie itself looks epic and amazing!
The episode was just alright for me, I never thought that Espada's release was all that cool.
