Ah Bleach, the first of the big 3 that I've experienced (haven't watched TYBW, writing after finishing og series), you haven't been perfect, far from it in fact. Criticisms are easy, 1. Bad filler, 2. Aizen gets to OP, 3. no one important dies, and so on. BUT beyond all that, very few pieces of media have inspired such emotion and hype from me, so few shows have so many likeable characters, Bleach has been special. Ichigo is one of the easiest to root for characters, Rukia is just so damn investable, and so on, very good characters. Great fights which inspire that feeling of hype. Also, my word the music is great.
Canon arcs:
Substitute Soul Reaper arc.....solid 8, very enjoyable.
Soul Society Arc.....9, hype as hell.
Arrancar arc....9, surprisingly emotional and very enjoyable despite the flaw of Aizen being to good for the anime's own good.
Fullbring arc....7, decent but a bit of a step down.
I look forward to the TWBY.
