It's not a totally terrible arc. It's actually a bit deeper than most Bleach arcs have been, and less in-your-face Ichigo-smash. That said, other than Ichigo getting his power back there is next to zero relevant plot development for the rest of the universe, which is why people don't like it. It's more of a side story where only the last episode actually matters. If you want the really relevant stuff, skip to the last like 3 eps and watch from there, problem solved.
