Well, people (like myself) wanna see the payoff moments (Kenpachi's Shikai, Urahara's Bankai, the flashback mini-arc, etc.) animated and voiced, the anime adapting the story would give it a chance to fix the shortcomings of the last arc by putting in things Kubo had to cut for time/changing certain story aspects (think the Ashido stuff from the Hueco Mundo arc), and I think Pierrot always did justice to the fight scenes. The character moments, not so much, but somehow they always found the budget for the battles.

The live-action movie announcement is kinda apples and oranges with this, that was an announcement made in the Shonen Jump magazine a week after it was first teased in the same series, while this is getting a much more ceremonial buildup and event. Sure, it could be another letdown, but it feels bigger.

I'm sorry that you didn't like the live-action movie or Burn The Witch, but personally I enjoyed both! The movie took some liberties and had to cut a lot of stuff but felt like it retained the overall spirit of the series (better than the anime did, lemme tell ya), and BTW was a fun addition to the world of Bleach that partially answered the long-running fandom question of why the Soul Society we know wasn't much, much larger and more varied in racial population. The idea for an OVA of that seems to be that it would lead into a proper serialized follow-up from Kubo himself in Shonen Jump, as he hinted at in the final page of the original one-shot, and I'd be down for that too.

Conversely, I wouldn't want a video game adapting the Quincy Blood War, especially not after seeing how Soul Resurreccion handled adapting an actual canon plot (see: Gin's betrayal being reduced to "Aizen kills Gin"). But that's just me.
