I really like Bleach until the fake Karakura battle, where it drown and never make the surface again. But i still reading it because I want some answer and see how it will end, but it is and ok reading I read in 10 mins each week.

Aizen was the most interesting character but he fell flaw and boring, the fullbringer arc was ininteresting and the last arc is SO disapointing...

It starts well, climaxes in the middle, and rolles down a hill untill the end. Overall, it's above average, but nothing too special. The whole human-goes-to-after-life-and-battles-demons thing has been done plenty of times, and it has been done better. This is just one of those and an average one at that, but being as long as it is there are some great scenes worth exploring. If you have the time to kill, go for it.

As most people would agree, I would have to say that Bleach started out quite strong and the idea of shinigami and hollow was original and fresh. I love the Soul Society arc, when Ichigo and the gang goes to save Rukia and we get to see the Gotei 13. The arc with the Espada was not bad either, but the quality of originality of this manga dropped but it was still worth reading... that is, before they introduced all new characters and fullbring. It just seems like a desperate move of Kubo Tite, wanting the prolong the series instead of ending it with Aizen. I no longer read Bleach because the plot is so banal now, but I have enjoyed the series thus far up to that point.

I don't really care what other people say about the manga supposing to end. Naruto should've ended when they defeated the evil snake guy, but no they are STILL GOING ON. You just can't deny it, good manga should be as long as it can. Just like Detective Conan, it's like at 780 chapters and it's still going strong. Bleach is great, that's all there is to it.

I really enjoyed Bleach but it just seems to be going down hill. It feels like the story is being forced to go on and the arc right now feels like one of the bad fillers in the anime. In my opinion it should of ended in the last arc.

Here again with a freshly-updated review to account for the end of the Fake Karakura town arc, and the beginning of what appears to be the "Undo the end of the Fake Karakura town" arc.

Plot: There still doesn't appear to be any overarching plot. Unlike other shonen, our hero here doesn't have any vague long-term goal. It's more like "Oh look, an enemy. I go kill it now." Rinse and repeat.

Length: 48 volumes, and counting, with no end in sight. And supposedly it's only halfway through. Nuff said.

Characters: There's a bunch of them. There's bound to be at least one you like. Emotional moments between characters are rare gems, but still tend to be very poignant when they show up. Overall the characters are an enjoyable and likeable bunch, but some suffer from lack of development due to the extremely large cast.

Art: I actually like the art pretty well. The only issue I have with it is that all the characters have become very standardized and hairstyles and clothes are pretty much the only way to distinguish them.

Possibly offensive: Lots of boobs and ridiculously stripperiffic outfits. Pretty much the kind of stuff you shouldn't be surprised to find in a shonen. Lots of blood and occasional sexual jokes. Oh yeah, and some almost-yuri.

Other Stuff: When it comes to Bleach, I experience one of three things when I read a new chapter: "WTF awesome", cautiously optimistic ambivalence, and just plain "WTF?!". The entire fight against Aizen was pretty much one giant "WTF?!". I won't go so far as to call it a wallbanger, because it was something more than that. It was more like I got trolled left, right, and sideways. Then I realized:

Stopping to think and try to reason out what's going on in Bleach is bad for your brain. You'll enjoy it a lot better if you just go with it. Just accept the series for what it is---complete with hax Aizen, plotholes, and deus ex machina powerups---and it's actually pretty entertaining.

-.- theres no strategy in the fighting in Bleach besides spamming a crud load of attacks till the other person dies sometimes fights are more interesting if theres a way to solve it in a new fashion not just spamming till the other person is dead

Like a year ago this series was almost(<-almost...) better than Naruto Shippuden in my opinion. And then, this random kidnapping almost leads to like the world ending, and now every known character is fighting with newly-introduced-only-to-be-killed characters that I don't know the names of, and well, it's to much for me! I put this series on hold like at the end of the summer and its STILL on the same arc (from what I know) so I think I'm just gonna wait until it's over, skim through, read some summaries, and continue reading HOPING it gets back on track (and some info in Ichigo's dad)

Bleach is great for those who love action. Drama is decent, fighting is detailed, everything about is overall little better. However the characters and attacks in the recent chapters aren't too great. The attacks are just blobs of white ink and the characters aren't too interesting anymore. But I've still continue to read it even to this day because of it's artwork. The best I can give this is a 7.8
