I hope we see Ukitake’s Bankai in the second cour. If not, maybe the third? It just seems to me that the second cour would the best time to do so. Also, just curious, what are the chances of

Hisagi’s Bankai showing up even though it shouldn’t happen until CFYOW? I’m asking because of the Bankai tease from Hisagi’s training scene. Kubo could have left that part out for the anime adaptation if he really had no intention of revealing Hisagi’s Bankai, but he made sure it was still included.

There are ways around that. I think it is very likely that we will see Hisagi's Bankai but when he uses it, nobody is around to see it. And, maybe, having people around who can do mind manipulations, Hisagi lost the conscious memory of it.

That means, discovering it again was not that difficult for him.

I definitely will be one of them. I think the coming new season will be even more interesting in that regard than the first. Some of the fast brief scenes also made me curious.

If there's one thing Bleach as a whole knows how to do well it's to create hype for the upcoming releases. The chance that the second season will be more interesting is pretty high if you ask me. Kubo's availability as a consultant for the continuation of the anime is of great value because it means that the anime gets to both be faithful to the story that's been released in the manga format and to Kubo's vision about what he didn't get to write and draw in the said manga.

Now, there are some aspects of the story I'll always have a problem with and constructively criticize (like a certain moment between - spoilers - Urahara and Yoruichi during the final stages of the manga), but having such opinions is normal for whatever kind of story you're watching and/or reading.

I completely agree with you. I understand why Urahara did what he did but it bothered me a lot that he had no problem with it, that he joked about it. I hope that this scene in the anime will show regret on his part, that he felt that he had no choice in order to save Yoruichi's life. It would still make me uncomfortable but make Urahara more likeable. He is a pervert but although shady, he is supposed to be one of the good guys no matter the shades of grey. I don't want this to change.

Omg I can't believe that they're going to show Shinji's Bankai early! The hooded guy is definitely Grimmjow.

I hope that they show Sode no Shirayuki's spirit in the anime version of the final arc. We get to see Katen Kyokotsu's spirits, so why not the other Zanpakuto as well?

We are very much nearing that time people, as such, I have been reawakended for the second coming. I just saw the trailer for the next portion of the series. I am very excited.

VIZ has a playlist for all of their TYBW related videos (teasers, trailers, OP, ED, snippets from the episodes), so if anyone wants a brief summary before the second season begins, this may be a good starting point:
