But they didn't. If you want to watch bleach then enjoy the first arc, the first 63 EPs and stop it. I don't know how many of the 360 EPs are fillers, but my guess is 50% or more. In This Anime there are actually only 2 Arcs that matter and those two are the first 1-63 and the second stretched around the next 300 Episodes filled with endless flashbacks and side stories no one cares about.
The second story arc isn't really bad to start with, the main problem is it's endless length and that is interrupted with many many fillers that don't really contribute to the story in any way and flashbacks that tell the story of gaining ability XY to finish that enemy off. Worst of all seems to be the pacing, if there aren't fillers or flashbacks, then there are fights that are fought not only one episode, but 3-10 episodes! How do they manage this? Easy! They give you a summary of what happened before in every episode, that summary is so long that about 10 minutes including the intro are not contributing to the story at all...
If bleach where a 63 Episodes Anime, it would have been great. But it isn't, the first 63 EP deserve at least an 8/10 the rest a 2/10 - on average it should have been a 5 but honestly after watching 330(or so I don't really know) EPS to see the second(and final) arc ending, I can't rate it anything higher than 3.
