Memories of the manga are hazy but I do hope that Kubo manages to fill in some of the gaps the manga has. Either way I'm be happy with it completing it's adaptation after 18 years.

My expectations remain low unless they adjust the last...30 chapters or however many those final fights were.
The animation will at least be decent/good.

Yeah no.
The idea of something good coming from Bleach is like saying you'll get nutrition from an oscar meyer salami.

They can't even be bothered to provide the names for all the Schrifts, something that would take literally a single line of dialogue (in fact in some attempt at horrible comedy they significantly downsized Robert's already minuscule screentime instead). Do not expect anything meaningfully improved from this adaptation; the best it can do is Renji vs. Ishida, a fight that does not matter and nobody involved has anything to say about afterwards despite for all Renji knows his friend tried to murder him

Weird to call this the final arc when they teased the next one.

I would be surprised if that One-Shot from years ago becomes more than a One-Shot.

Have to say, I got a good guffaw out of the preview blurb: "If this is what's to come, Bleach might have one of the best final arcs in shonen." I haven't even seen this final stretch yet myself, but I know enough about how it generally turns out to state pretty confidently that this sentiment is...well let's just say misguided.

The first 3 episodes were a treat to watch in theaters, the animation was great and though there aren't any major additions yet, the stuff changed here does improve the flow of events, and makes the action of what's happening a lot clearer than it was in the manga, where I was sometimes confused over what was happening during the fights. Definitely think the end of season 2 and most of season 3 were huge imrpovments over the manga, and I'm definitely hoping that the additions will help the final battle, not be a complete disappointment like it was in the manga. Also there was a pretty good interview after the movie between the two directors of this season, and Kubo which was pretty fun and showed some insight into the animation process. The most interesting point to me was that Kubo had lots of notes as to what certain character's facial expressions mean, and how that can help the animators with drawing those expressions so that they make sense for that character.
