Well, I finished all the episodes up to 30... It was... Something...
General Stuff
To get the basics out the way, animation is solid and the character designs are always peak, many of the fights are top notch (Yamamoto vs Fake Yhwach, Ichigo vs Uryu and several others), though a few were lacking, (specifically I think the Gremmy vs Kenpachi fight was short but it had a funny moment that took me out. I also felt the some of the get back fights against the Quincy were lack luster). Overall though it's good, sounds are solid, the music always slaps. As a whole, It's hits the mark in my opinion.
Characters
* The Goats!!!:
I'm not a fan of most protagonists but Ichigo is different, his pull up game is top notch and his character is fine, the only thing that pissed me off was when he showed up for round two in the Soul Society and went easy on the Quincy... I'm like bruh, Ichigo did you forget that these guys killed countless soul reapers and nearly killed your friends!? He sitting her just hitting them away and even telling Candice to dodge killed me. I know he was there for Yhwach but come on now... Regardless though, he's got some of the coldest lines (cheesy ones to but what do you expect, he's the protagonist)
Don't care what they say, Yamamoto ain't no fraud. Mustache man may not have named him a special war power for a reason but his fight against the fake was clean and even after being cut down, he tried to stop Yhwach from leaving, top tier moment.
Kenpachi, you already know why. nuff said.
* Squad 0 (Fraud 0)
Jokes aside, they didn't peak my interest at first but I wouldn't call them frauds. I enjoyed their fights and in the end, I'm gonna say it Shutara Senjumaru is the best one, fight me!,am i gonna simp? You best believe it. I generally just like her design and character the most out of the squad. What helps the the fact that she has if not the best, one of the best moments I've seen and I'm sure y'all know which one I'm talking about. When she used her Bankai and took down Uryu and the others one by one with the loom tarps she made, ending with their tarps coming down with each of their silhouettes on them was peak. Sadly she gets packed up but she made an impression. Now this isn't to say the other members aren't alright, I just like her better than the others.
* Quincy (Goofy ah troop)
None of them really stood out to me, besides Bazz B and Candice but that's mostly do to design and I like fire and lighting, their over the top personalities did give him genuine laughs at times as well. This isn't to say the others aren't unique, I was happy they all weren't one dimensional but their personalities didn't get me if you know what I'm saying. I also found their defeats... Lacking if that's the right way to say it. By that I mean they came into the Soul Society and massacred them but when the get back arrives, only As Nodt gets a very spectacular end. BG9 and Chang get their heads splattered sure but that's by their own people, Bambi gets smacked by Sajin's Bankai but she's only incapacitated and killed off screen by her own people, and so on.
It kinda makes their demise weak in my opinion, it also makes they look down right stupid when their all shocked as Yhwach beams them. Like why Liletotto all shocked? They literally work for a dude who kills his own subordinates or foot soldiers if they argue in front of him, serve their purpose or says something he doesn't like. Hell they do that too and later several of them back stabbed each other to see who would kill Ichigo, y'all literally watched as Bambi was zombified by one of your own... The level of delusion was peak!. Yhwach did drop the funniest line in response when they asked what they were to him, "Comrades" That shit sent me.
Overall though, they aren't bad characters, I think their alright but for personal preference, they didn't completely stand out besides the two I mentioned (because I like simplicity like a lame nerd) at the top but again when it comes to characters, it's all a preference and I can certainly see why people would like one specifically. To note, I do know several of them appear later on post so obviously not all of them were going to get bodied, also, the Elites that went to the Soul Palace were excluded from my thoughts but there alright as well.
* Soul Reapers (lame ah reapers)
Jokes aside. Ain't got much to say given we've known the characters for the longest. I enjoyed Renji and the others getting to run some fades without getting clapped. Enjoyed their battles, but man, poor Toshiro bro, he didn't deserve getting Zombified. But y'all know the rest, they did their thing as best they could and seeing them deal with the invasion was narratively solid.
However, I will give credit to the character Suì-Fēng. I actually like the two times she lost it a bit and spoke out, it contrasted with how the others held their feelings in. I noticed she got hate for that but character wise, it's interesting.
Those are just my thoughts I wanted to drop regarding some of the characters I like and my general thoughts on the arc as a whole. It's a solid 8 to 9 out of 10 so far for me. I'm not critic or someone who can see artistic genius but I can say as a casual Bleach fan it's a good one. I can see why y'all enjoy it.
