So, I think the deal with the new filler arc in Bleach is this: Ichigo and co. did not 'suddenly get transported back to normal life', this is just like a flashback of sorts, perhaps taking place in the time between the Vaizard Arc and Orihime's kidnapping. That way, by the time this arc is over, any loose ends can be tied up without having to worry about affecting the future episodes. That's just my opinion, who knows what the real explanation is. But so far I'm not complaining, the animation's been nice and the story's been pretty good (so far) for filler; if the quality stays this good, this whole arc might not just be tolerable, but enjoyable.
A gate from Soul Society opens in a field next to the river running through Karakura Town, and two Shinigami step out. The big guy is pulling a little chariot, atop of which sits a young girl with her face covered by a lampshade of sorts. The smaller Shinigami says that they must wait for sunrise before they can move about, but the girl insists that she is hungry. Daybreak happens at Ichigo's house, and he is rudely awakened by his fathers attempt to beat him up, this time involving the use of a trampoline. A regular day at school begins, with art-class inspired humor, when Ichigo is interrupted by Rukia's cellphone, signaling a Hollow attack. As they race toward what seems to be a growing number of Hollows, the younger Shinigami (his name is Kenryu, the big guy is Enryu) loses track of the little girl they are in charge of, who goes to find food and ends up running into Ichigo. After a humorous interaction between the two, Kenryu and Enryu show up, snatch the girl (whose name is Rurichio), and leave Ichigo to be squashed by a group of Hollows.
Fortunately for Ichigo, his trusty Bankai is able to prevent him from becoming a stain in the ground, and to the surprise of the fleeing strangers his power is enough to take down all the Hollows with ease. Apparently Kenryu knows of Ichigo and his powers, though he does not offer any help. Ichigo joins up with Rukia, and Orihime, Chad, and Ishida show up to take care of the remaining Hollows. They had sensed an unfamiliar spirit energy, and once Rukia learns that Ichigo met the Soul Reapers, she spends the rest of the day on her cellphone trying to find out who they are. She doesn't get very far, but later that evening the three new strangers move right next door to Ichigo! A not-so-warm welcome ensues, and Ichigo is even more shocked the next day when all three of them transfer into his school. Why are they in the human world, and what do they want from Ichigo?
