Story:
Bleach story is really big challenge to average guys brain. It's like big chess game full of free moves. You never know what is going to happen or which chessman is going to be moved next. Only tiny little thing on this chess game is that last movement was made back in 2002 like 9 years ago. After 9 years Kubo hasn't managed to move a single chessman to anywhere.
Actually the story is really great. Too bad same things happens 42 times with different characters or with different power levels. After reading almost 500 chapters of the manga I can tell biggest plot twist is just behind 460 chapters when Rukia has new haircut. I know, I totally spoiled the whole thing. I've also heard 42 is the amount of seconds it took Kubo to write the story, too bad he didn't have enough time to come up with plot.
Characters:
Yes, there is a lot of those. Really great ones, like Inoue Orihime. Lets just say if Yagami Light knew her, her name would be written really quickly. Bleach has also made character development to whole new level; I didn't know it could be negative.
Art:
At the beginning, there was one. It was messy and reader didn't always get what was happening. So it got fix'd and turned into "lines." No ink is wasted anymore. You can really see how white those manga sides are before they are filled with things.. And after that too. Bleached, ha, I bet no-one has heard that before. In the anime it's just shit along the animation. But hey, it's still definitely the strongest part of this series.
Enjoyment:
Oh yes. If you see a guy who isn't moving anywhere but spinning at his place and says he is going home - that's quality entertainment. How about Bleach. Well, it's like that guy but all he does is say he is going home. After many years it gets little annoying.
My score was 10 for long time after the start. After that it has keep coming down little by little just like the story has improved. It's now 3. I'm looking forward to the future. :)
Suggestion list:
Forks, yes forks. Those are fascinating.
Cancer. I don't have any but I assume it feels the same.
Ah, and yes. This review is for both, manga and anime. I don't mind feedback.
