Opinions on pacing?

are you sure? I remind you that the final episode will be about 1h

This new episode got me by surprise, I expected a lot more action. Last cour adapted almost half of volume 61, but in these two episodes they only adapted at least two chapters from volume 62. We are sure they are adapting Ichibei vs Yhwach? Are they going to adapt volumes between 1/2 episodes? Also, if they are adding a whole new fight of Shinji, I'm pretty much scared of them rushing Komamura's fight or making Shinji's bankai introduction useless. What are your opinions on pacing?

PD: apologies if my english is not that good, it’s not my mother language 😔

It's normal that they will adapt more chapters in the coming episodes. Fights in Bleach are fast to read and most of the action can be covered in a few seconds, and most of this season will be non-stop fights, so things are going to flow faster.

yeah I was thinking the same but it scares me a little. I mean, even if they are pretty much "fast fights" (in this arc) and in some cases have not too much choreo, the fights are pretty cool and the impact of Kubo's draws and panels makes them incredible. That is something that I think it's not easy thing to do in the anime. For example, Yamamoto's fight in the manga is very impactful mostly because of the drawing and storyline than the fight itself (it's pretty much Yamamoto dissing Yhwach). I liked how they adapted it, but some friends that are not big fans of Bleach argued me that they were expecting more of a classical shonen fight (idk more of a long difficult fight). In my opinion the fight was cool and it has to do with how it was written, but I can understand their opinion too. I mean, I'm feeling most of the fights are adapted as the panels itself and not exactly with the same feeling they have in the manga. Now, if they are adapting in a gap of 4 minutes, I'm scared moments as Komamura turning himself into a dog, Rukia's bankai or Kenpachi's shikai being rushed (only adapted as a panel). I imagine tho Kenpachi vs Gremmy will have almost an episode. But I'm scared that if Shinji's bankai scene is long, they are going to adapt some fights in 5 minutes.

I do agree that Kubo's panels and drawings is what makes Bleach fights good, so in motion some parts are bound to lose some of the impact they had in the manga. About the Yama vs Royd, the fight was made more dynamic in the anime, with extended scenes and the animation making the fight feel more alive than the manga one who was mostly carried by the panels.
There's also something to take in mind, and that is that not all the fights are gonna be treated equally. The staff will give priority to the important ones like they did with the first season. Which ones they will be? We will see, but I didn't dislike how they made Hitsugaya vs Bazz-B and Soi Fon vs BG9 Part 1, which are the fights I liked the least in this arc, so I'm not concerned for the moment.
