Kubo played the Long Con. Bleach bout to surpass every other anime in popularity
No sign of any changes in that trailer, it's all just shots from the manga.
I mean it looks nice but there's no reason for me to get excited yet until I see some indication they're actually trying to salvage something out of this train wreck.

To be fair, it's more just showing the anime exists and that they have gotten the main designs done atm as well as the general art style of the series and even music tracks.
We will have to wait for future trailers to actually see whether or not there will be any real changes to it which I hope it is.
I get that, as I said it looks nice, it will just take more than good animation and music to sell me on it, especially when it's an arc I didn't like to start with.
I mean I like Ghost Reaper Girl but I would still be hella hesitant to get excited if it got an anime announcement for various reasons, the main one being the poor track record established by the abysmal Rosario anime adaptation.
I suppose I just need a bit more before I can get excited like I immediately got with the Shaman King remake only to get burned badly .
I definitely do hope for changes, I don't WANT this to be shit like the people in the Bleach section probably think I do. I mean i did REALLY like this series at one point. If at all possible, I want this version of the arc to at least be a decent final arc and not like the trainwreck the manga was.
Of course, I'm not saying you did or anything of the sort.
I also want this final arc to actually be what Kubo wanted it to be without the issues of failing health or cutting the final parts short.
I actually want him to use what he has brought up in the novels to expand on the arc and actually give it some damn good run time and not Final Act it.

Apparently Kubo had some Q&A block and here are some of the questions and answers.
Unohana is the "best in terms of raw power" but the "Royal Guard, Commander or Urahara are on her level or above". That's basically where we have her already so it's nothing new but interesting tidbit anyway.

At the very least Kubo is basically confirming the anime will be adding stuff to the arc based on what he had originally planned to do. Specifically in this case, something to do with Grimmjow and Harribel, no mention of Nelliel but I'm assuming there'll be something for her as well.

I can't really call out Kubo on most of that but it was also obvious that his health was failing him and he chose the decision to end it early rather than taking a break just to fully end it...
All of that really tracks together.
But yeah, I do hope this is full confirmation since he IS the director of the anime now.

Fair warning, there is no source on this Q&A so it may not be legit.
I might have jumped the gun a bit on posting it here but TBF nothing in it seems outlandish to me at least so it could be legit, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't.
It wouldn't be the first time someone in the Bleach section literally made up a Q&A. Although last time it was only one question, which specifically and "conveniently" refutes Urahara being equal to Aizen, by using all the standard bullshit arguments you see the Aizen fanboys use.
TL;DR
Basically he lost nothing, can choose the form of his Shikai at will but it's True Form is the dual blades, he COULD potentially have done the switch with his Old and True Bankai but Haschwalth wrecking the blade made that impossible. The "Sheathe" of his True Bankai(which represents his Quincy Powers) got permanently absorbed into the Bankai itself which is why we never see that anymore and Kubo fully denies Ichigo lost anything
EDIT: Apparently even his Dual Blade True Shikai is meant to be a "Scabbard" and a "Blade" formation, which makes more sense.
Klub Outside - Kubo Answers Translations
Changed my Klub Outside membership to Elite so now I can finally see the answers to the good stuff. I will be checking out the Q&A section and try to translate as accurately as possible any juicy info that catches my eye. Everything will be added to this thread as more updates come out. Now...
www.fanverse.org I'm just gonna bring in this whole thing from FV so we can get more info from Kubo himself until the Anime appears, especially since Kubo did toss in the idea that the Anime potentially will expand on certain elements of the war.
And more Klub Outside Questions are answered here:
If people want to know what they are talking about, they mean the capes Rukia, Renji, Byakuya and Ichigo wore when they came back from the Soul Palace. Apparently the clothing the Royal Guard gave them can block various hax(Or at the very least undoes reishi/reiatsu bonds on contact

Apparently Nazi arc Rangiku has achieved Bankai.
“Rangiku barely dodged having her Bankai stolen.”

Well that does make sense with the fact she's SUPPOSED to have the Soul King's Reiatsu within her which is why Aizen took a big chunk of her soul.
It's hilariously amazing that she jobs so often to finally have achieved a Bankai and falls into the Hisagi Zone of not using it(though to be fair, she was most likely jumped from behind and wrecked as badly as Hitsugaya was against Bazz.
Wait what???
I’m guessing this is from the novels right?
Databook. Which it's not the first time Kubo dumped shit into something like it and it becomes canon later or foreshadowing(Unohana).
There's also the fact that she's on the older side of the age spectrum as far as Lieutenants go so there's, enough time to fit the 10 years training for bankai and she was consistently impressive by Lieutenant standards.
I mean she intercepted Shinso (albeit from a distance), embarrassed Izuru and survived a 3 v 1 with three of the most powerful fraccions for a prolonged period of time.
I've always seen her as just below the Lieutenants who already had Bankai (Renji, Chojiro and Hisagi) so it doesn't surprise me that she was gained bankai herself.
I mean you have the issue of the Bankai stealing medallions and by the time those were dealt with, the Nazis would left would all have been well out of her league with or without Bankai.
Right. So apparently Rangiku having fucking soul king reiatsu which was taken by Aizen was not important enough to put in the manga. Despite how Rangiku and Aizen having Soul King reiatsu sounds pretty fucking important?
Especially given this incident is what provides Gin's motivation for wanting to kill Aizen.
Actually we see the aftermath happening(i.e. It's why we see Aizen having the Hyogoku near child Rangiku while Gin saw it), we just never saw the incident that lead to it(i.e. Aizen discovering she had it at all).
