Makes sense. Bleach isn't for me anymore, but I don't begrudge anyone for liking it. |
For me, Bleach went from an interesting little monster-of-the-week show with potential, to a phenominal arc in the SS that set the series up for tons of awesomeness down the line, to absolute garbage afterward. It peaked after the SS arc to rescue Rukia and everytime it came close to matching that engaging level of focus from the SS arc, BAM! Here's more filler smackdab in the middle of a big, important canon fight, tr0ll'd ya, Rick R0ll'd ya! Twice during the Hueco Mundo arc did I have to go back and study up on the characters and their abilities because of big long breaks from anything that actually mattered.
The filler got progressively worse too. The Bount arc would have been OK if it wasn't so damn long and drawn out. Compared to the trash the Naruto studio was spewing out every week at the time, the Bount arc was gold. That sword beast bullshit was an insult not only to our intelligence, but to anyone who had been watching the show since Season 2. How the hell does Zabimaru go from an actual nue (a monster from Japanese mythology) to an bratty kid and dumb bimbo with the most retarded fighting style ever? It got better with the Fullbringer arc, but by then, all the soul had been sucked out of Bleach (no pun intended) after the disappointing conclusion with Aizen. The Bleach anime became a joke of itself.
Despite my hatred and loating for it, a part of me still loves it too. A part of me was sholding out hope for it to get back to SS arc levels again, which is why I'm so disappointed in it. Hopefully, if they return to the anime after the manga wraps up, it can be strictly business and go out with the bang it deserves.
