I think I want to just make a shorter review of this.
In general, I like Bleach. The action scenes were okay, there was a main storyline followed (although the wide array of fillers sometimes made me wonder if what I was watching was related to the original plot at all), and I mean, if you were to watch this before looking at less popular ones, it could just be quite the anime. However, where a lot of big anime fall short is quality. As the anime progresses, things just seem to be a bit more forced. There is less action, less content, less... flare. Especially after the climax, things died down and basically had to be forced back up again.
Give it a shot though.
