I disagree. My issue with the Wandenreich's first invasion is that it was pushed around too quickly. A lot of the major characters in the Gotei 13 were fighting Quincies, yet we only saw a handful of the opponents themselves. We don't know who Shinji and Momo were fighting, we don't know who knocked Rukia out, we don't know if Kensei or Mashiro got involved, etc.

Not to mention that NaNaNa and Rose had some serious dialogue, yet we have absolutely no idea what happened between the two of them. The only thing we do know is that NaNaNa left Rose at some point to confront Yamamoto along with Bazz-B and As Nodt.

Personally, I'm glad we got some exposition with Komamura and Bambietta. I can't say we'll get this with everyone (and there might not be enough time to do this anyway), but some things have to actually be paced decently, instead of jumping around sporadically from fight-to-fight, or rushing a fight too quickly to its conclusion, like we had during the Sternritter's first invasion of the Seireitei.
