If this arc were to ever be animated, the amount of gore in it compared to past ones would be a perfect excuse for the Studio Pierrot, who animated Bleach for 366 episodes, to hand this arc over to someone else, preferably a studio with a little more backbone who would be willing to ease up on the censorship a bit. It's Shonen manga, people lose body parts, hiding that fact is pointless.

But I digress. Since there is nothing official stated, feel free to dismiss my comments as the rants of an angry 20 year old.
