Yeah, basically what I was gonna say. The only thing I could add is:

Build up. The Wandenreich have fuck all build up at all, they come entirely out of left field. I believe that some time should have been devoted to the first war between the Gotei and the Wandenreich, so as to establish the power these guys wield, how they could put up a fight against the entire Gotei 13 and come out of it alive by not retreating, but hiding in plain sight. As it is, they just don't make much sense and every reveal seems to paint the Gotei 13 as retarded to compensate.
