I was actually half-expecting to see Bleach when I played my tape from last night, but...go figure. I take it that Bleach was completely removed from the lineup for now as opposed to just moved, then?
...Enough off-topicness. I watched the episode, and...it didn't seem that special to me. Of course, keep in mind that's coming from somebody who hadn't ever seen anything from this anime/manga before, so I might be biased in some respect or something. However, the first episode didn't strike me as special or anything. :\
