Point? Point?! Filler has no point. The Bount arc created a small story which overall led to no resolution or change of anything other than its own terrible storyline.
Kariya was typically cliche; power for revenge. Nothing new there. Hell, he's pretty much exactly the same as the villain in Memories of Nobody, except that Memories of nobody was one movie instead of over 40 episodes. I did not like any of the Bount; Koga was the only one I did not actively dislike.
All of this is strictly my opinion, of course. I simply did not like the Bount filler. You are entitled to your opinions; I'm simply disagreeing.
Okay, question: Bounto Arc or almost a full year with no Bleach episodes whatsoever?

In answer: In this case, nothing would have been preferable. Not that they would ever have done that, of course; stop releasing the show for a year and then just try to get ratings. Good bloody luck.
I usually find that I prefer the occasion week of nothing rather than small filler arcs. Small filler arcs, though, are tolerable; large-scale filler arcs I really dislike.

I didn't really mean it like that. Of course the only point of fillers are to fill up time. What I meant was they actually incorporated the plot into the previous episodes, and it fit well.
Actually, I didn't feel like he was out for revenge very much. I felt that he knew that the thingy he was trying to get was going to destroy them all. His "ultimate power" story was just a ruse to get everyone to think he was evil. He just wanted to leave a legacy before they were all killed. At least, that's how I interpreted the story.

Previous? Or following? If previous, I have no idea what you're talking about. I will therefore assume you mean following, and heartily disagree. The only way they worked it in is to have the remaining and utterly pointless characters stand around and do nothing (or try to do something, but that is impossible, as they aren't supposed to be there, and so their attempts are fruitless).
Oh, and there was another filler character I didn't hate: Nova.

Sorry, another bad on my part. I meant "They actually incorporated the plot of the previous episodes into the filler, and it fit well."

Okay, you didn't hate Nova. How about Cloud? You must admit he was pretty amusing at times.
NOTE: New Bleach Anime/Manga episodes released!
Bleach Anime Episode 171: Kenryu, the Profusion of Blooming Crimson Flowers
Bleach Chapter -101: Turn Back the Pendulum 8
There you go.
Now another question: Would you rather have the Bounto Arc, or a Bleach version of the Naruto filler arcs just before Shippuden?

OK, now I truly have no idea what you mean. There was almost no inclusion of anything from the Soul Society arc other than Ishida losing his powers (which was repaired with a temporary filler excuse which disappeared at the end anyway) and Ichigo's hollow coming out...what, twice? For about 10 seconds each time? I don't get it.
Hakuro: No. Not really. Cloud was not particularly amusing (to me) at all. Nova at least didn't tick me off.
And I never got anywhere in the Naruto filler, as I was warned off it by so many people. (Please tell me you aren't suggesting I go back and watch it now?) Of course, I was losing patience with Naruto and its FLASHBACKS OF DOOOOOM!!!! before then anyway...that and how almost every character suffers from the same syndrome: "I hate everyone. Oh! It's Naruto! I'll be happy now! Yay!" I mean, seriously. Neji, Gaara, Sai...give it a rest! That's one of the major reasons I stopped watching it (though I do still read the manga).

The manga is getting really good and the Filler Arc isn't half bad either.

1. Apparently at the NY premiere of Bleach: Memories Of Nobody, designer of the series Masashi Kudo will appear there along with producer Ken Hagino & a guy in a Kon suit (bet he's not going home alive) & the first 100 attendees at the Regal Union Square Stadium 14 Theatre's screening, will get a special Bleach armband.
2. Finally, Director Noriyuki Abe, Kudo & Hagino will appear at participating theaters next Wednesday & Thursday for a behind the scenes featurette.
3. Remember: the films out June 11.

BTW where did Renji go? I'm not complaining that he isn't there, I'm cautiously relieved in that I'm HOPING he's back in Soul society doing important Shinigami things rather than being nothing more than comic relief for that insufferable, self-important, preachy, god-moddingalways-sticking-his-nose-where-it-doesn't-belong-false-shinigami in the real word, but I doubt it.

What do you think it has to be first before it can become ultra shit? One cannot go from greatness to ultra shit in a single leap. There are stages to this type of thing.
As for the current state of things; Aizen was a cool guy. Now he just sits in a chair. Dammit, I wish I got paid to write shonen manga. I'd be so good at it.

No, I was saying that it couldn't have been great to go to ultra shit that fast. You know, I just made up this scale of measuring quality and it's confusing and it sucks so I'm killing it.

All of the main villains are fun to read about. Too bad they haven't done anything for a good 100 chapters.
Wait. I just realized what this is and what they are.

From what I saw, the anime's going back to fillers again... about Ichigo in some stupid superhero outfit. Then again, I liked the Bount and Kasumi-Ooji arcs, not to mention that I was amused by the 2-episode "soccer" filler, so I'm not upset by this... I just wish I could see what happened to freaking Renji and Ishida; I was really confused by the episode they left off at before going to the Turn Back the Pendulum Arc. *shrug*

Anyway, much like the soccer filler, this "Karukaizer" filler will only last for 2 episodes & the current storyline will return after that (coincidently, in the same week the Arrancar arc will be shown in english on Adult Swim in the same week :P).

Also, can't wait to hear how the Hueco Mundo Arc is gonna be in English. I'm hoping that Nel's voice is done well *crosses fingers*

BTW, the dubs pretty good so far & I'm starting to get used to Roger Craig Smith as Shinji Hirako. Next, we'll hear Ulquiorra,Yammy & Hiyori in english for the first time. But 112 & 113 won't air 'til May 2nd. Oh well 2 eps in one night is still nice. :)

OMG, a thread for my all time favorite Anime and Manga Bleach! >w<
And to contribute to what we're talking about and not spamming:
I really did like Shinji's voice. I'm hoping that Yammy's, Ulquiorra's, and Hiyori's voices aren't too terrible. But then again, I'm a dub lover so I'd eventually get used to it.

Urgh...I know what you mean.
Also, I think the next few eps are gonna drag with the Vice-Captain's fights, but they may be pretty cool so its not all bad.
EDIT: Just watched 112 & 113 dubbed. Hiyori sounds, a bit annoying but alright. Yammy is quite good & last but not least, Ulquiorra sounds a teeny-tiny bit more high pitched, but still gives the overall impression of his Japanese voice actor in my opinion. Grimmjow's english debut is in 2 weeks. As for next week, we'll have to make do with the fight against the 2 Espada & a comeback of some of the Soul Reapers.

Regarding Ulquiorra's voice, at least the pronounciation is right & I guess we've all just got to let his voice sink in.
219 will have Hisagi's battle & shikai reveal....yay
114 & 115 were ok. 114 particulary for the action. Grimmjow's (& maybe other espada's) dub this week.

I might edit my post after seeing the dub episodes this weekend since... well, I'm hoping Grimmjow shows up. I can't remember if he's gonna show up soon or not, but I'm crossing my fingers for his unknown voice.
And am I the only one who squeals watching Hetalia when certain countries show up? England= Ishida, Italy= Ulquiorra.... It's so strange to think about but I love the comparison <3
