[Discussion] The second half of this arc so far.

The sternritter fights have all almost been okay I suppose, but hopefully I'm not alone on this, I just want to see what Juha does next. He is literally the meat of this arc along with Aizen who I hope does something of significance later on. The deaths feel very cheap to me, Kensei and Rose got killed off like they were fodder #67 and #99 and I suppose Toshiro and Rangiku is gone too unless there is a way to make them normal again which is very possible. For an arc that is supposedly going to be the longest one in the series it feels like it's going way too fast and at the same time not so much, on one hand the fights are very short and the sternritters are being killed off pretty easily and fast and they are even killing each other! (Which I personally hate seeing in a villain group like this) and on the other hand the chapters take like 30 seconds to a minute to read :| I cannot imagine how long it takes to read a Bleach volume, what like 5 minutes tops? I am looking forward to Ichigo and his new powers and him going all out on someone mainly Juha of course. Hopefully next week we stay on Juha as he is the only interesting quincy besides Uryu at this point for me personally

I have been very happy with this arc so far, with a few times where I thought things could be better.

In regards to reading Bleach volumes, it actually takes a bit of time. If you read all the speech bubbles and look at all the panels, it is quite detailed, which is why I purchase volumes, to get the greatest quality of the art and speech. It takes me around 45 minutes to an hour to read a volume.

Yeah, don't get me wrong I am loving this arc and the character development for people like Kenpachi, but some things I were better too regarding the fights hmm and I plan on buying all the volumes for Bleach as well, I love Kubo art style and I think he knows that he is a better artist than a storyteller which is nothing wrong with that, but if he was to be like Takeshi Obata who just does illustrations for manga while another mangaka focuses on the story then man! Kubo would be exactly where he needs to be imo =D plus in the volumes they fix mistakes, add some extra panels I assume sometimes, you learn more about Kubo and his life and the art looks 100x better in real than through a computer screen as for all manga really.

The second half of arc?

Whole zombie thing, Pepe revival, Toshiro's death, some SR fights were horrible. War started going down hill since Zaraki vs Gremmy and Gremmy is brain thing, Lol.

Before that my only objection on this arc was Zangetsu's plot twist. Other than that first invasion, training and first part of second invasion was good to great.

This chapter was better than around last chapter, but it still need to be way better.

Yeah Kenpachi vs Gremmy was just...I don't know :| The fight had so potential and I expected a villain with the power of imagination using so many things and creative attacks, but nope. Gremmy death could have been good if we knew more about him and where the brain came from. Hopefully the next chapters show some real progress and the royal court guards actually do some damage to Juha!
