Bleach was a wild ride. The first 15 episodes were kind of slow but enjoyable nontheless. The Soul Society arc was the best arc in my opinion, I really loved it. The Arrancar arc was painfully slow at times but it had big highs for sure. The Fullbringer arc was boring for most of it but it had a decent payoff.
The OST was perfect. I think Bleach has one of the OST's in anime. Definitely the best in the big 3. I love every single theme, especially the spanish ones. The only thing that dissapointed me was that Clavar la Espada was only used once,
...
in an irrelevant episode, when it's clearly one of the best song's in Bleach.
I really liked the character designs, I thought they were very cool.
Ichigo is one of my favourite MC's of all time, he was very realistic and very cold which I really rocked with.
Another one of Bleach's strong points were the fights, the coreography was extremely well done, the power system is the coolest out of the the big 3 in my Opinion and Bankai's are the coolest powerups in all of anime. Intro's were also pretty solid.
I didn't really get emotional while watching it but I think Bleach didn't need it. To me it was an escape from the hard hitting animes, I watched Bleach for pure action and hype moments and it had plenty, I loved every second of it.
The writing wasn't all consistent and I started to have a few problems with it along the way. Some stuff just didn't make sense to me but it didn't put me off and I probably forgot about it when the next cool fight came about.
I also really liked the cast, the Gotei 13 were all extremely cool and I really enjoyed them everytime they fought. Ulquiorra and Grimmjow were very interesting villains as well. I can say Bleach had probably the best villain in the big 3, we all know who I am talking about. Another character I enjoyed was Ishida, he was severly underused, would have loved to see more of him. All of Ichigo's friends were underused but Ishida was the most interesting one. The Fullbringer's powers were pretty lame, all I need to say is dirty boots.
The hollow fights became very repetitive after 2 or 3 fights and they were very boring to watch. I was glad they were replaced completely.
Overall, while there were some annoying moments, things that didn't make any sense to me and a few asspulls, Bleach is a must watch for any shonen fan. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece but it was peak at times.
I am definitely excited to see the TYBW and if it is as good as people say it might bump the rating to a 10.
