If by best you mean the most consistent 'high quality' animation then yeah, I could see that, but that story was garbage, and the fights were mediocre to say the freaking least.
First took some major blows from the Mary Sue in my book, and the middle of the second dragged on too long. Overall second one probably topped out, due to the end sequence being both sensible (Save Ikkaku obviously) and actually using hollows that are an actual threat for once... >>
