The new Bleach episode,288 has just come out today!
And by many of you, you can be assured,it is not a filler episode^^
The story continues as Ichigo moves to help his friends.There he is accompanied by captain Unohana which tells him more about Aizens zanpakuto. I don't want to give to much of spoilers,so if you are interested,go and check it out :D
As seeing now,it looks like this series will have a lot more episodes.
Now that manga is probably near the end it will not take to long to anime to finnish then too(because then probably there won't be any filler episodes).
So you can just predict how much there will be. I guess at least 50 good story episodes,lol xDD
We will just have to wait and see =)
