Character development during a battle makes sense if it's battle related, like you mentioned with Zaraki and Ichigo. But when a character unrealistically starts talking about their childhood during a battle and swapping stories, it's a tad much in my opinion. However, I completely forgot that most anime comes from manga first. But doing one episode per chapter seems a bit ridiculous unless you're trying to milk it or keep the anime from getting to close to the manga, which is more than often the case.
