It depends where you stopped really. I think if you have a rudimentary understanding of the setting and characters you can probably just dive into the new show without watching the other arcs before it.
Yup. Like I said, hadn't watched a single episode post Soul Society and I jumped right into TYBW no problem. It helps that these battles seemed set up FROM THE BEGINNING, like I knew about the Quincy/Shinigami stuff from Soul Society. Ichigo being part EVERYTHING was also plain from the beginning.
It also helps that most of this arc animated has been absolute fire.
