Although the Soul Society arc immediately preceding the Bount arc and the
Arrancar arc immediately following it are (IMHO) superior to the Bount arc,
the Bount arc was well done and I wouldn't dismiss it just because it did
not appear in the manga.

What I found bizarre about the Bounto arc is that in the present (not in
the past, when the Bounto were indeed persecuted) nobody seemed to care when
the Bounto only ate dead souls, and it was the Bounto going after living
people that really started the arc. Considering the world of Bleach, I
don't see how eating dead souls could be unobjectionable.

The Bount were persecuted in the land of the living because they were
different and powerful. The Shinigami were after them because the Central
Chamber of the 46, Soul Society's governing body, determined that they
posed a threat to the balance of souls. The souls of dead people, in the
Bleach cosmology, are supposed to be reborn in Soul Society (or Hell for
the really bad ones). The Blounts, by consuming the souls, prevented their
transmigration.
