I liked Bleach, but I lost interest a long time ago. The fact that it seems to be going on too long with overpowered villains *cough*Aizen*cough* doesn't help...

I went all out of cares for bleach after the second damsel has been kidnapped literally (as in literally, not figuratively because you have to say a word doesn't mean its opposite nowadays it seems) right after the first damsel has been saved because taking 2 years to save rukia was so enthralling we have to sit through it again right away or something.
It started off interesting with the spirit theme but never did anything with it and I suppose it never got any better after the spanish dudes.

I fell off the wagon with Bleach during the Fullbring arc. Oh i'd started losing interest a long before that, but i'd assumed once Aizen was defeated/dead the series would end. Just gonna see it through, you know?
Aizen was an incredibly boring villain and to me the show died with Gin and the Espada. Aizen didn't even die since apparently he became literally immortal and then Ichigo was started on a path getting his powers back from a bunch of people who don't even remember their own allignment and some guy went around stabbing people with a book and a flatcap (that's how i remember this shit).
Aizen dead, Ichigo powerless and forced back to a normal life. That would actually have been an ending i could live with, but of course it had to drive itself into the ground.

I stopped watching after....I think season 2? The point where they went to the Spirit Society to rescue...what's her name, the Soul Reaper that lost her powers to give them to Ichigo. When it became a rehash of DBZ and Naruto I lost all interest.
I actually really loved season 1, and still stand by it being pretty awesome, what with all the spirit dealings they did, policing the spirit world. That part was really fun and enjoyable to watch, but then they just, kind of forgot about all that and went into fighting game mode, and I got bored.

Assassin Classroom is so good it's ridiculous. And I should hate it. The stake is "destroy the world" which is the most boring of all stakes and it's a school setting and I've come to LOATHE school settings by now because it's fucking copout for easy appeal to their main audience, AC is such a fresh and fun take at both these tropes and it's just plain good.Kaimax said:
I'm still following it, though really only because I've been following it so long I kind have to. It's ... gone WAY down hill since Azien, these Quincy are far from an adequate replacement for the Arrancar. Bach especially, he's just so fucking BORING, Azien could get boring to mind you but least HE had class.

You'd better not mean Death Note or Great Teacher Onizuka, pal. 'Cause them's fightin' words.
Please tell me more, if you can. I've been looking for a new series to read. Boku no Hero Academia: The author of "Barrage Of The Battle Star!" wrote this?! It's a superhero story as well, with the story that sounds like the main character is almost like Batman? Sold!Kaimax said:
Assassination Classroom: I've heard of this, but I've been unsure if I should check it out. Mind telling me a little more? Why should I read this? Pitch it to me. Because the premise certainly SOUNDS interesting.
Food Wars: Shokugeki no Souma: Hmm...this, aside from Hero Academia, is the one that interested me the most. Mostly, thanks to shows like Toriko, or some anime I watched a while ago called "Fighting Foodons". Is this series similar, and if not, what does it do differently?
I quit when magic vampires showed up, had a summon fight with eachother, then left for no reason. I was suffering through the show up until that point thinking "well it's rated number 1 on most anime popularity charts so it's gotta be good! RIGHT?
Then I found a comment somewhere saying 'I miss Bleach back when it was good in the Soul Society Arc!' and I flipped my shit.
'GOOD? What I am watching now is the GOOD OLD DAYS and it's somehow gone DOWNHILL?! What the f**k?! This show is complete garbage! How can it get Worse? Surely this is as bad as a "story" can possibly be? This is almost the very worst thing humanity has ever created and you are trying to tell me it goes downhill after this/ I'm O-U-T out.

Its nothing like Toriko or Fighting Foodons. Its just cooking, there aren't really any super powers, no one really ever gets punched. Its just cooking. The art is amazing the series is literally food porn(kinda funny since that's what its artist used to do.) Think of it kinda like anime Iron Chef.ArcaneGamer said:
I'm actually liking how it's progressing..the past few chapters with Ichibei vs Bach have been quite awesome.
I've been following Bleach since the beginning..I'm in no way stopping now. Bleach is my "first time love" so to speak of the big three.
I will always like it because it's one of the first shonen's (aside from DBZ) that I have watched once I got internet in my house in 2005.

For AssClass (lol), it's main story is clearly written on its sleeve. The Teacher is a "foreign Lifeform" who looks like a yellow humanoid thing with tentacles for hands and feet. He's nigh impossible to kill able to move at mach speeds and has super regeneration. His only demand is to teach a class filled with the rejects of this one school for 1 year and besides teaching them how to kill them, he also tries to make them the top students of the school. Apparently the Government has put a bounty of 10 billion Yen to whoever can kill him. The twist to that is, this teacher also provided the one material that can slow his regeneration and kill him.ArcaneGamer said:
Besides the School related story, occasionally Professional Assassins will also try to get the bounty, this usually will involve the whole class and this is usually the parts that have a more serious tone, because these Pros won't hesitate to use and kill the students.
For Souma, yeah, what user Syaoran said, it's basically Iron Chef. But it really aims for a realistic cooking story (besides the reactions lol). It details real cooking techniques and the food looks real enough to make. Also the art is very beautiful, the food will always looks enticing. It's rare we get a real "cooking story". While many others tries to combine it with other genres (Toriko with shonen fighting, Yakitate Japan with gag Comedy turns into full fantasy comedy later on lol).
The closest thing resembling with Souma was Cooking Master Boy in terms of the cooking skills/techniques/presentation involved, but not as dark as the story of Cooking master boy.
The most damning thing that can be said about any story; "the fans did/do it better!"Lieju said:
But yeah, Bleach really should have ended after Aizen. And preferably without ass-pulling Ichigo's last power-up. My personal preference would have been if Aizen's and Orihime's "I reject your reality and substitue my own" powers had clashed with each other and brought Aizen down from Mount Omnipotent to, you know, actually killable.
I personally feel that Bleach would have been excellent if it ended after the end of the 1st arc. I don't think the story needed to progress past the rescue of Rukia?(Its been a while so excuse the spelling) and truly if the anime was only 60 episodes long, it would have been nearly perfect.
Yes I follow it and every week I bemoan the stagnation of the series. It's like watching a trainwreck. Our main character hasn't shown up for 12 chapters now and counting.
The fight between the big bad and that super shinigami who'se name I can't be bothered to remember lasted 5 weeks. This could have been done in one chapter and nothing of value would have been lost.

I've been following the Bleach manga for years. and while the recent chapters have dragged on a bit, it's not that bad.. sure the leader of the Quincy army seems to be able to pull out new abilities like a child using a everything proof shield(give Yahtzee credit for that one).. but they have to make the leader survive so that the series's main character, Ichigo can have the last battle against him.. that's the way most shonen manga are...the last battle has to be fought against the main hero of the manga. it's like a rule or something.... though i think Ichigo's victory against Aizen should have been the end of the series if you ask me.. but there was no way the publisher at Shuisha Publishing was going to let one of their most popular series end at that. even though Tite Kubo wanted to end it there.
Bleach had so much potential but the author squandered it away with bullshit power-ups, ass-pulls and not adhering to his own god damn cannon from one story arc to the next. Also forgetting things that happened previously. Seriously, after Aizen was dealt with the series ended for me. The whole bullshit arc with the... fullbringers (had to think for a sec there) and the quincy's never. happened.
TBH though, the series had lost the plot LONG before than. Essentially at the end of the Soul Society Invasion Arc is when things started sliding down hill. The Arrancar arc had some pretty cool moments though, I will admit.
Saw these images on a different forum a little bit back and thought they'd be kinda fitting way to end the series... The troll to end all trolls.

True that. Some of the fanfic stuff is quite awesome, and so much more rewarding to read than the actual story. They have coherence, good characters, no ass-pulls and a god damn plot.Mangod said:

Bleach...
Right now it's like watching a train wreck happen in slow motion...
Should have ended with the Aizen arc and that arc should not have ended with a 'pulled out of ass' ultimate superpower.

I gave up on bleach shortly after Aizen was defeated, from the sound of things I made a good decision
I do have one question, did unohana ever get a big fight, if I recall correctly she was supposed to be the most dangerous fighter in the series when she decided to fight instead of heal
