In any medium I've been invested to - Bleach has always had the better designs. It never had any competition. Even the "ugly" ones are still nice to watch. You don't prove any disgust on these at all. I mean, just look at it:

I will admit that Bleach has some good art. For some reason I never got back into it after the Soul Society arc. I might get back into it eventually.

Now the manga is finished you could pick it up.

The character designs were definitely one of the best things about Bleach, but that doesn't really say much since it's one of the worst battle shounen I know. There's dozens if not hundreds of shows where I like the character designs just as much, if not more. Heck, I can probably list at least half a dozen if not a full dozen of character designers whose work I appreciate infinitely more than that of whoever did them for the Bleach anime (https://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=766974 a bunch of them are listed here for example).

The Bleach ones look nice, but they're nothing special for the most part. They're inoffensive and somewhat forgetable, albeit definitely not bad.

I've been really enamoured with Aizen recently. And seems like other characters look nice too. Maybe I should watch Bleach after all...

I agree. That is certainly one reason its among my favorites. Never encountered another show or manga with such an amazing cast of characters.
Rewatched it twice, that says enough.

Well I hope to get more 'filler episodes' for each and everyone of them. It was good until a certain fight indexed. Let's watch the new season (next year?) and probably send more death threats.

Oh yes definitely, Bleach men are top notch especially Aizen.

The character design got me to rewatch and reread Bleach anime and manga over and over again^^

The artist draws some good looking characters but I feel like the anime butchered a lot of them.

It has some dope looking ones, but many are not really striking or even bland compared to other big battle shounen.

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

Bleach's charadesigns are certainly good but as far as battle shounen anime goes there are far better ones like the ones of Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, and Naruto.

Nope.

I've never liked the character designs of Bleach.

Yeah as far as battle shounen goes, Kubo is a really great artist among the ones I've seen or read. Mayuri is still one of the best unique-looking designs I've ever seen. The captains and Espadas in general are so well-designed and iconic. I also love the casual clothes he makes his characters wear. He's really in tune with his artistry.

People have never criticized his drawing skills as much as his laziness to draw backgrounds tbh. Everyone acknowledged he's a great artist.

Yup, that was never the problem with Bleach. Kubo was always a great artist but no so much a great storyteller.

I partially agree, some of Kubo's character designs are really cool, especially the Arrancar/Espada and their Resurrections. But imo, One Piece has the best/more unique character designs.

I have to agree with this. Character design was definitively one of the best parts of Bleach.

I don't know if they're the best in my opinion, but they are incredible and I don't know what I would put ahead of them. Bleach definitely, undeniably, has the best pantheon of girls of any anime/manga.

Kubo is really good at making attractive and fashionable characters, but I wouldn't say Bleach's character design is the best. Though, I do like the designs better than most things that came from its 2000s shounen contemporaries like Naruto and One Piece.

Can't say the best, but it's up there. I fucking love the captain coats, they're probably my favorite uniform ever in any media. The way they give that "wow this guy is different" vibe is awesome, you immediately know a captain is a fucking powerhouse even if it's one of the more bland looking ones. I also like that when he goes weird, he really goes weird, like with Mayuri and Szayel Aporro, but the overall character design is pretty uniform. Not going into how he draws faces, since that's personal taste, but I like it way better than other classic shonen.
The only anime I can immediately think of that is clearly above Bleach design wise is Soul Eater. I like some things better in Bleach's, like the faces and that it's more uniform, but Soul Eater is just wild

True that.
Gin and the Espada were my favourite subjects for forums profile pictures back in the day, I really liked their design. Only later on, during the Quincy Blood War Arc, I started to appreciate the captains' design too. Other memorable mentions are the Xcution and Senjumaru Shutara.
Recently, with the announcement of a new season and the rise of Bleach fanarts, I also realized how hot the girls in that show are.
The story, on the other hand ...
