As a long-time fan of shounen shows and mangas, I dare to say I was heavily depressed with bleach, for the fact the fights are way too boring and uncreative, and would make other shounen artists like Hirohiko Araki or Togashi Yoshihiro facepalm in dissapointment.

it doesnt help either that the story backgrounds lack feelings or resolve, you wont feel inspiration or excitement in these fights.

its no longer about comparing it to One piece or naruto which are the hot popular stuff now, bleach even pales to classic shounen tales like Rurouni kenshin, Jojo, Yuyu hakusho or Saint seya, or other underlooked mangas like kenichi, soul eater or full metal alchemist. there is just no feelings here, just pretentiousness and simplistic mindless fights coated with good artwork and "attractive" characters.
