Bleach...why's it so popular?
So, Bleach is one of the big 3, eh? Personally, I could see what the big deal was about at first. The show started off tremendous and just got better as the story progressed. I was excited to see the next episode and the next one....then the first story arc ended and the filler began. No don't get me wrong, the Bountu arc isn't bad. Ok, it started out kinda lame and those three puppets are kinda irritating, but the Bountu arc was entertaining, but I wanted more of the main story. Well, I got my wish, but the next story arc started off weakly again. And when it finally started picking up again, it was interrupted yet again with another filler arc. This time, the filler arc was not so interesting. The New Captain arc, as I have heard it called is a weak entry, even for filler. But luckily it was only a bit over twenty episodes, but boy, did it test my patience. Now it got back to the main story again. This part of the main story started out with too much comedy, in my opinion. But when it got serious it started to really kick it in high gear again. And just as it was regaining its previous awesomeness and intensity it had in the beginning of the show, it was interrupted yet again with filler. Again, don't get me wrong. The Zanpaktou alternate story arc is plenty interesting, but it disturbs the flow of the main story and takes away from the power of the show overall. Now I know some of you are saying, "Well, just skip the filler, then". I'd kinda like to, but I cannot skip episodes of a show and then say I am caught up or have completed a series when I skipped episodes. Its just dishonest. All that said, I'm going to stick this series out to the end, whenever that may be. At the time of this writing, that is still an uncertainty, but by the time I am "caught up", I'm sure I will know one way or the other. I shall make a future entry on this particular show when I see the end in sight....until then, I will say the show is good, but not the be all end all some claim it to be. It had potential, but weak entries stole some of its thunder. Hopefully this will be redeemed by the time the show finally ends its long run....hopefully.....

Bleach is the only big shounen series that I follow - only because I've been with it since the beginning. Im invested in the series, so I might as well finish it. I do like Bleach, but sometimes I dont like it. Then there are times when Bleach will blow me away - and then piss me off. I love love love season one all the way up to the end of the Soul Society Arc. I got half way through the Bount Arc and gave up cause it was too long and boring, plus I hate fillers. The beginning of the Arrancar Arc was great, but overall this arc would fail in places and be great in others. The Past arc was extremely good - I wish more of Bleach was like the Past arc. so yea, I think people are super into Bleach because when it's good, its really good. It has all the shounen fighting mechanics but what sets it apart are some shocking twists in certain story arcs that you dont see coming. Overall I dont think Bleach should be in the top 3 best anime - it certainly isnt. maybe fans who are new to anime are probably ranking Bleach to be the best without knowing any better. |

I like bleach but Ya I hated how its going. I'm so glad it ended and that I can be happy. I hated on how overrated it is but its not as bad as the naruto fanboy and I like that show but still has that filler problem.
