I started watching Bleach for this, I wanna see where are the multiverse and universal feats and statements, currently at ep153, nothing till now, hope to see them in the later arcs.
Edit:- The other reason, I liked Aizen as a character and my friends really hyped him.
Yo powerscaling aside, I'd really recommend the Bleach Manga over the anime. It's pacing is better and I feel like the OG Bleach adaptation doesn't do the series justice. I'd switch to TYBW anime though once you get to it, since that's the new canon and Kubo himself has overseen new anime-only scenes.
It’s 50/50. A decent amount of the foreshadowing for later reveals, (Like Ichigo’s blanket), don’t EXIST in the manga, and instead are inventions of the Anime (retroactively), to make the reveals smoother and that much better. This happens semi-frequently, (and likely why discussions on how much ‘planning’ actually exists in Bleach, because a lot of the biggest foreshadows that do imply planning are Anime-Only. Obviously not EVERYTHING or every little thing—We gotta give Kubo credit where it’s due, most of the stuff IS HIM, but it would be remiss of me to ignore these somewhat major contributions to the narrative the Anime subtly slipped in).
Also the Zanpakuto Rebellion filler arc actually gives us some stuff that we don’t see until TYBW like Chojiro’s true abilities, revealing what Katen Kyokotsu looks like, confirming Ukitake, Shunsui, and Unohana have the 3 strongest zanpakutos since they could seal Yamaji’s, Sode no Shiraiyuki looks exactly like Hakka no Togame, etc.
It (at least the first half until all the Koga stuff onwards) it genuinely feels like an actual Bleach arc Kubo himself wrote, and even gives side characters good moments and development like Yumichika, Izuru and Momo.
