Why it’s score is 7.81

This guy gets it, the fist arc is just peak shoen, the way the ligthning and music are used to make the hollows genuinely seem otherworldly. The figths are fun and dynamic, the characters are endearing and for the time fairly progressive (Chad and Ichigo are an almost unique shoen best friend duo and that's amazing).

Skip foward 200 EPs and the show just devolves. The canon arcs are draged out, the figths lose much of their tension, story beats are repeated at nuasium less effectively each time. Just the entirety of the 40 friggin episode 'bount'/vampire thingy arc and the even the once amazing direction starting to lose its luster.

To be honest I'm really surprised it's rated above a 7.5, guess the power of nostalgia and hype is strong lol.

I understand that the bount arc wasn't that good at all and bleach does have the issue with being over 1/3 filler, but saying that you're surprised that it's over 7.5 is a stretch, I gave it an 9 mostly because it was the third anime I watched but I'd give it a 8.5 if I could, also you saying that you're surprised it even has a 7.5 when you gave school days a 10/10 is kind of like putting a hat on a hat

soul society goated but other arcs are slow paced

I gave quite a few more reasons then just the bout arc and I could give quite a few more😅, if your gonna complain please read the message properly.

I've got no probably with people liking something and as I clearly said in my message I can totally understand why people do like it, no issues there, I personally love the early 100 eps, however I score based on being as unbias as I can be, that goes for school days to.

Each show I take for how well it achieves what it sets out to achieve and the production quality, story and by proxy filler is just one aspect. It could be 70% filler but if the production held up and it was used effectively then I'd give it a higher score.

Feel free to actually read my school days review rather then just going along with the usual anime bandwagon. Again your perfectly free to enjoy anime however you see best but I too am free to judge things as a metric, rather then on my initial knee jerk feelings or based on popular opinion. If your biggest defence of a show is 'well you like school days' then the conversation has already lost track 😅.

Hope that helps👍

I checked out your school days review and sry I'm not reading that, you basically wrote an essay lmao, also about your other reasons I didn't mention them because I disagree with your opinion on them, also I didn't really mean to phrase my sentence that makes it so I'm talking bad on school days but school days does have a lot of flaws, if it ended on episode 6 I'd give it a 10, but all the stuff Makoto did and how Sekai was treated later on is why I think anyone giving it a 10 is strange but each to their own

Lol it's long because it's a review not the usual 10 line plot summaries Mal users love so much. If you have time to downplay a show on a Mal form but not to read a review and actually attempt to understand a show better from another person perspective then you need to spend your time better or not speak with such confidence😅.

What part of my initial statement do you disagree with? The arcs are dragged out, there's an absurd amount of mostly poorly used filler and the direction gets less inspired. Those are objectives not opinions, with respect you didn't mention them as according to your own message, you haven't watched the show in a while so you've forgotten the finer details. Which is completely fine but don't try to act otherwise please.


I'm afraid it's not so much a case of each to their own but rather that you didn't want to like school days😅. Like most people you heard its reputation, let positive reinforcement take hold and now even the idea of reading a comprehensive review is to much effort. And that's fine, your free to enjoy anime however is best for you👍, it's just sad you'd let your personal experience, colour the way you talk to someone who did make the effort to actually understand the show.

I doubth will get much further with this and there's little reason for me to type walls of text if your to busy to read em (which is perfectly understandable). Have a nice day👍

PureAsGoldCR7 said:
well if you're typing an essay most people won't want to read that because of how long it takes, you should understand that atleast since it seems you're very stubborn lmao

Also the arcs aren't too dragged out imo, the filler arcs were poor but they're filler and not the main story so can't really judge on filler, and the direction doesn't really get less inspired imo but then again people have different opinions

It's not that I didn't want to like school days, I watched it because an anime YouTuber said it was underrated, which it is in some ways but the negatives out way the positives in the later episodes, I still don't know what people's opinions are on school days but I know that a 5 or 6 is a fair score

7.81 is low score to you? err its Ranked #821 in its mean score out of like 20,000 anime in the database of MAL

Considering that Bleach is one of the big 3 it is quite low.

FMmatron said:


Yeah, how one is trying to deny that is beyond me(like just look at the episodes I mentioned or Udon episodes like 944) But the attitude and the first quote with which he came into this thread tells a lot.

"Greatest story ever told."

For a series primarily aimed that teenagers, that one did make me chuckle. Not going to lie.

FMmatron said:


You know what's even funnier funny?

xenosys said:


No, I just found that quote by Davidsmethod1 to be quite amusing given that was his first post on the thread.

FMmatron said:


But why did you quote me?? I don't get it.

xenosys said:


... because I was scrolling through the thread, read your latest post, went back to read his first post and laughed, so thought I would include your latest post in my reply as you referenced it.

Aaaaaanyway ...

Bleach to this day still has the best power system in any anime and ofc the soul society and hueco mundo arc are top top tier, 9 out of 10 is what bleach deserves, if not for all those filler arcs and ehh ending for the anime atleast I'd say 10

No, bleach power system is broken after soul society arc ......bleach power system is not even close to HxH .....But i still like bleach

PureAsGoldCR7 said:
I mean with it's kido

EL-PSY_C0NGR00 said:
best power system doesn't mean the strongest power system .....HxH power is the best because it is the most balanced power system ......And if you have watched many battle shounen than u will know that why people call HxH power system best ......And you are comparing kido and Nen that's ridiculous.
