I honestly don't mind that some of these fights are going faster than previous ones. Remember that Haschwalth stated Yhwach's orders to be "exterminate the enemy army", and to do so quickly. So it would make sense for the Quincy to do everything in their power to end things quickly. So having a drawn-out fight where there shouldn't be one would be problematic. Plus, having 20+ Quincies each fighting one or more Shinigami for 10-15 chapters each would get tiresome fairly quickly.

Other than that, I liked this chapter quite a bit. Best part was easily Rose's Bankai. It was just as mind-bendy as I thought it would be. I'm a bit bummed that we could only briefly see it, but at least we got an explanation for what it does (*cough**cough*Unohana*cough*). Only thing that I was iffy about was that "star-blast" Mask had, it felt kinda cheesy. I mean, with Mask I guess that's the point, but still. Other than that, great chapter.
