Andromeda:
Spoiler: Aizen makes Orihime "undo" Grimmjow's injury. Orihime's power is closer to "undo" than "heal", which is why Aizen kidnapped her. Continuous use of the Hogyoku weakens it. Orihime's there to make it good as new, over and over.
Not for Andromeda. Sharing information that isn't implicitly stated, but is a spoiler.
Spoiler: I was reading, and since Aizen's slaughter of the Office of 46, Yamamoto has taken over its role (supreme, unchallengable authority). And he's a bit paranoid about defense of Soul Society, so no (authorized) help for Ichigo and co. in the Hueco Mundo arc.
-edit-
No new Bleach this week, but I have this to say about Death Note: "...Wow. F*cking wow."
Death Note is almost like Chuck Palahnuik's (Fight Club's author [it was a book first, yo]) novel Lullaby. (Which I recommend reading)
Death Note, like Bleach, uses the term "shinigami". Shinigami, literally translated as "death god." This shouldn't cause too much confusion for the dubbed Bleach watchers, as the Americanization process has Bleach's shinigami consistently translated as "Soul Reaper," whereas Death Note just uses "Shinigami." Death Note's and Bleach's shinigami are radically different in nature and appearance, however, they do seem to have some similarities in function.
