Oh, I loved the Deicide arc. I just found it funny how the opening was screaming it out - people who only watch the anime wouldn't get the connection.

My guess is 15 episodes. The anime studio will not miss the chance to include padding for the Isshin/Kisuke/Yoruichi fight by a long shot. Same probably goes for Ichigo v. Gin. Heck, they might even take some liberties and have Post-Dangai Ichigo wail on Aizen for two whole episodes. The bright side is that it doesn't seem as though we'll be having another filler arc, judging by the opening.

Edit: I wouldn't flinch if Ririn and co. were included in the whole running away from Aizen thing. That'd be one episode of filler right there. -_-;;;;
