its just a very poorly portrayed version of the tsundere done in non deliberate over the top fashion.

IE a show like bakemonogatari the main character is a tsundere. Similar in many ways to the annoying little brats like the one currently being portrayed in bleach manga.
But not as over the top, and lacking many of the awful traits present in this character.

Ah so indeed it all comes back to this 'tsundere'.

I'm sure this has been said before, but this feels like the start of every arc of bleach i've ever read. Or watched for that matter. Please just stop, it's getting painful :(

Bleach hasn't really used cliched anime character archetypes in the past, in fact he seems to enjoy poking holes through them. The arc is young, and if she's a tsundere she's heavy on the dere.

No it's not that, it's like that "annoying bitch" is a stereotyped personality that has been showing up a lot more in recent anime. It's like a bratty, cutesy and angry over-the-top personality with some kind of psuedo-Western influence and it's silly. Another example would be in Gundam 00 (1st season if there were 2). Halfway through the anime the brown Gundams (i'm not up on Gundam lore) showed up and one of their three pilots was a young woman with the exact same kind of personality. It's like watching a 4 year-old flap around in a teenage body.

Nena Trinity, although I would agree follows the childish/whimsical brat female character archetype - she wasn't over-the-top angry so much as a thoroughly troubled sociopath. Her character was meant to be juxtaposed with her psychopathic and malevolent actions  - It sort of expresses the dissonance between the seemingly pure but deeply corrupt nature of the world. Less symbolically, it shows - without directly stating so - the mistreatment of the character in her personal history which is an overarching theme of hidden atrocities in the falsely peaceful world. They tried the same thing with Stellar in Seed Destiny, and all the way back with Four Masamune and Elpeo Puru or Puru Two (though she/they technically were quite young) in Zeta and Double Zeta. You could say it's a common technique employed in these series where were lead to empathize with the fragility and purity of the enemy pilot which the protagonist is inevitably forced to fight, rather than simply employing wave after wave of expendable villains.

I was more confused about the Nena Trinity-like character in the 00-Gundam movie, that felt much more like pandering.
Peace, Love, and Tranquility

I just found an interesting plothole in another forum regarding Ichigo's loss of power after the Aizen fight. I don't think it has been mentioned here. The discussion about the end and the new arc started four pages back. Anyway:

Why doesn't Inoue use her power to revert him back to before he trained to get the Final Getsuga? ::)

They should at least have mentioned it, whether it was possible or not is another case.

She can also help in healing Hinamori, some of the vaizards, Yama-jii. I hope you get what I'm intending.

This manga has just become flat out boring.  I mean I could bear its sheer stupidity of it in the past because it was entertaining, but boredom is a whole other animal.  Maybe I'll drop it and just pretend it ended at the logical closing point when Aizen was defeated. :P

Kill subordinate because he refuses to stop protecting you. Makes perfect sense.

The opening story line of this new arc seems like a very speed up Vizard arc,  I hope they don't end up doing a stupid "Orahime is kidnapped"  story again.

I'm sure even Kubo is happy to get the whole Aizen thing done. He just has a thing for his fuck-ton of characters to have one-on-one's with the enemy which is why it took so goddamn long for this arc to end.

Either way, we know it's going to take a while for that to happen. First we need this arc to end, and then the arc which explains stuff about Ichigo's father.

EDIT: this week's chapter was pretty good lasting one minute instead of the usual 30 seconds...

lol, 1 minute

I must say the unknown shinigami (Kon? Another gigai with artificial soul?) managed to grab my attention, for a minute ;) But I think finally showing that Isshin is actually involved in this arc, after hearing it all the time, might make things a bit more interesting, of course, only if we learn more about the character Isshin.

Ichigo looks more like a ninja than a samurai now. Well, not like he looked a lot like a samurai in his shikai and bankai form...

Tsukishima must've use some kind of hypnosis on her? He could have also just said some stuff that only family would know. Both Ginjo and Tsukishima are stalkers lol.
