I started Bleach today and I'm on episode on episode 12. I just wanted to know your guys honest opinion on how you feel about bleach and what you like it about it so much. NO SPOILERS PLEASE. So far, I am really enjoying blech I would say it's a 8/10 right now and my favourite episode so far has probably been episode 8. Made me emotional when they showed how Ichigo and his Mom's relationship was.

Bleach is a long journey. The first 75 odd EPs are some really great stuff with a really memorable OsT and some very striking direction espically in the ligthing department. After that it does gradually go down hill quite a bit but if your enjoying it thus far you should find a lot to love it those early days😊👍

Great Shonen up until the the end of the Soul Society arc. After that it's just not as fun or awe-inspiring.

If you're enjoying it that much already, chances are you'll really like what's to come. It used to be one of my all time favorites, but I'd say it suffers from too many incoherent filler arcs and then the final arc felt like the wrong place to end it. I'd probably give Bleach an 8/10 overall with a proper filler-free rewatch, but some of its fights are easily some of the best in the battle shounen sphere.

Really useful disinfectant and does exactly what many of the products for it claim. I primarily use Domestos around the house, as most people over here in the UK do. Couldn't be any more useful during times such as these and comfortably comes off of the income.

Underrated anime people just hate it because everybody else hates it therefore they go to watch the anime and expecting garbage. The anime is very good and when it comes back it will break the internet.

Bleach is a huge long journey if you're planning to watch fillers and movies too(4th movie about hell is must watch [after one of the greates fights in 200+ episodes, but it will be better if you'll watch it after finishing the canon, the other 3 aren't that good as 4th in my opinion but they are decent and they deserve to be watched aswell) , was my first anime online so I've rewatched some arcs over 20 times, very good shonen, there are alot of small details which you might miss while watching like what is needed to improve your power [that ain't that obvious as you would expect x) ]? (without spoilers so that's mainly the only example which I can come up with), also can't tell but apparantly the soul society arc is better as you will read can't fear your world novels which also have plot after the manga so ( I haven't read it yet, planning in summer so can't tell what exactly is there)

Most people hate it I assume cause the arrancar arc is a 50/50 you can love it or you will hate it at least that's how I see it.

So far my favourite out of the big 3. I’m only on ep 35 but it’s really dam enjoyable. I thought this was going to be the same with op and Naruto where I’m just gonna enjoy it but after I’m done I’ll mostly forget about it but so far this isn’t the case. I’m glad I didn’t have high expectations

It had a good start but then it just became more and more stupid and boring. The character designs are really good. Music is good as well. Animation was good for it's time. Characters had potential to be great characters but the author didn't focus on developing them instead he just adding new characters. Most of the main side characters become absolutely useless. Ichigo always gets some bullshit power ups , I don't mind power ups but the way they give ichigo power ups is stupid imo. I'd totally reccomend to skip the fillers cuz they're really bad.

In my opinion, the Best Shounen Anime / Manga with Supernatural and Action genre.. This series has:..

- Intense yet good Battle Scenes

- Badass Art

- Nice Visuals

- Interesting Characters

- Interesting Story & Plot

If there's ever a downside part of this series, it's probably because of the fillers (blame Studio Pierrot for this)..

Bleach has some really interesting characters ,one of the best antagonist ,op,ost.
If like Bleach till 62 then u will love it.

Bleach has 2 problems :
Fillers
A very huge cast.
So I would suggest this
Make note of every single character from now on to know about the huge cast
As for the fillers u can skip if u want

Ah well, bleach is good, always people saying it's trash and too much fillers. Agent of the Shinigami arc was pretty ok, you know it's the beginning,
The soul society arc is soo good, the show just include more characters and fights. the hueco Mundo and Arrancar arcs was fire too, I'm still waiting for tybw. I hope y'all we'll enjoy the new season!!

My Top 3 shows for sure. A ton of people say that Soul Society is the peak of Bleach but that is not true imo. I just have one suggestion and that is to skip all the filler arcs except Zanpakuto Arc and Fullbring Arc.

Bleach has one of the smartest and best antagonists of all time and probably one of the best shounen arc of all time.

I'm a manga reader too, so i can say that leaving the 2 painfully obvious filler arcs, Bleach is a great watch.

Hope you enjoy it as much as i did :D

It's a perfect mix between supernatural, action shounen and comedy. I totally agree that some parts are weaker, especially filler arcs, but if you like it enough, you'll consume just anything like I did. Will always be my favorite out of Big 3. I actually started with manga first, fell in love after few volumes and started anime. A big part of the reason I am that attached is because I read last arc while it was still coming out and there was a big suspense about character's safety. Some things I love Bleach for are:

- world building, different races and their history, also politics - some are not revealed up until last arc which has not been animated yet or is part of the light novels, but it's still awesome
- big variety of fleshed out side characters - some may argue but it's probably because they didn't read manga yet, a lot of characters make comeback later/their backstory is revelead later so they don't care. I don't like main trio that much but man... I love all of the side characters
- Kubo is not scared to kill off his characters
- epic action scenes and soundtrack
- different types of swords and its abilities,
- opening songs are bangers
- very intelligent and crafty villains
- great comedic relief

First attempt to get into Bleach failed. Wasn't really interested to continue. Then I gave it another shot.

Introduction and Soul Society were top tier battle shounen greatness. Don't mind the filler since I could skip them(Rip weekly watchers)

If I solely look at the fights without taking backstories, characters, finishing moves into account then I would say that it had the best ones from the Big 3.

Unfortunately too many characters were forgotten and the storytelling was pretty mediocre, it was carried by rule of cool or badass characters. At times it succeeded at that, but more often I wasn't impressed because there was no substance.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Great series overall in my opinion, I would skip the filler arcs as they have fairly bad pacing and weaker plots compared to the canonic rcs. If you want to watch them do it after you are done. Only real point of contention is people disliking the anime after Soul Society, in my opinion the anime only gets better and the parallels between Soul society and Arrancar arc in regards to Ichigo’s development are great. I would say read Thousand Year Blood War after you finish the anime as the Fullbring arc was not a great spot to leave off in regards to story, as while I liked it, it is easily the communitie’s least favorite canon arc. Fights are good, soundtrack is amazing, and Kubo’s art looks good in anime format, especially seeing the style change throughout the series.

Fullbring arc is not filler, assuming this is a mistake with the Regei arc but wanted to correct this just in case OP see’s this and possibly skips as Fullbring is necessary to understand TYBW.

I am aware of that but some filler sites online show it as filler so I was just letting him know that

I blitzed through the comments and saw a good amount of people saying it goes down hill after soul society, this isn’t true peak bleach in terms of writing is the 3 major arc and also the longest arc in bleach the arrancar saga, it does everything the soul society does but better, if you are a manga person i would recommend reading instead of watching as the pacing is better but you are already enjoying it as an anime so you might have a different experience than me and as many said just skip filler, hope you enjoy, and to answer your question i think the story is great overall with its greatest strength being its characters, foreshadowing and fights with many of the fights at least one of the two opponents developing which makes the fights so much better for me.

Currently on Episode 58, I would give it a 7/10.
The main 5 characters are really boring and not likeable, except Rukia.
The amount of plot armour on Ichigo is absolutely laughable, and all the powers are very poorly explained.
That being said, the captains are really interesting characters, and the whole soul society concept is very interesting. I really hope Ichigo improves, because he just randomly powers up every single fight with no explanation, and is so cocky even though he should know nothing, due to his lack of experience.

One of my favorite shonens, but it has some flaws. The story could have ended where the anime stopped, but I still like some details about the direction of the last arc.
