Ichigo is actually a pretty good MC. He's a cool guy and didn't whine and bitch all the time. Great.
There are a lot of great, interesting characters throughout the show. Watching them grow and progress was pretty cool.
Some of the arcs were initially interesting but dragged on for way too long and got really boring.
The number one thing this show suffers from is the "Ha! You shouldn't have underestimated me and turned your back on a presumed dead opponent" trope. A lot of shounen have this problem, but Bleach does it more than any show I've ever seen.
If you're kinda iffy about the show but have somehow made it past episode 300 or so, the last arc is absolutely worth it. For me it brought the show from a 5-6 up to a 7.
I did use a filler guide to only watch the canon.
