OMG just started watching Bleach!

Ima start off by telling yall this

I like anime, Ive only seen DBZ, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo and Death Note, despite the abundance of programs there are in this genre of entertainment, you can clearly see, that I do not bother wasting my time with anything less than pristine.

I have tried other animes, and if they can't captivate my attention, or provoke my thoughts, feelings, or beliefs, than it ain't worth my time.

BLEACH, seems extremely promising, it has made me laugh out loud several times in the 2 episodes I watched, very interesting story and good action so far. what I like the most is that it's 300 freaking episodes and counting. I feel I will be well occupied with this series and I look forward to it.

If anyone can recommend something else that should meet my standards please tell me the name of the show and maybe a brief description of it or why its so good.

I will mention I have Escaflowne in my queue. The mecha warrior animes look great but I tried Gundam Wing and I found it a bit boring to be honest but I only watched the first 2 episodes.

Which episodes of Bleach have you seen exactly? Not to be cynical but the further you go into the series, the more you'll realise Tite Kubo isn't exactly a good story teller.

Other than guys fighting with giant swords it makes no sense and is completely forgettable.

Needs more cute girls if it wants me to watch it.luisen123

I used to watch Bleach and it started out pretty good. It kind of goes off the rails further on though. The story gets progressively more ridiculous and the show suffers from the "Dragon Ball Z" effect, where the charaters start off weak then have to get stronger to beat an insanely strong enemy, then when they beat that enemy, they have to go through the same process to beat and even more insanely strong enemy (and so on and so on until eveyone is stupidly powerful).

I am on episode 311. I watch it on Hulu.

Bleach only disappoints towards the end but even then there are awesome fights during the whole season.
Just wait for the main story/objective in Bleach comes up...you'll like it even more. Not gonna spoil anything but you'd better keep on watching, it only gets better. :P

Bleach starts well enough and the first major arc is pretty good, from there though it falls flat. DBZ syndrome, lack of character development (this one especially is a huge problem for me), overly long fights, ridiculous stories and it simply runs too long for its own good (and is still running).

I gave up on bleach when I was informed of the stupid amount of filler and DBZ syndrome. And the thing is I like DBZ which is a testament to how off putting bleach was.

It has a good start but really goes downhill fast after the soul society arc.

bleach is good till ep 70 or so then it fails miserably.

The first major arc is pretty good (you at least watch that)

The second major arc is decent (the beginning is good the ending is horiible)

The third major arc which hasnt started in anime yet seems promising

- Akira (quite possibly the most important anime of all time considering it was single handedly responsible for bringing anime out of Japan)
- Neon Genesis Evangelion (widely agreed upon to be one of, if not the, best anime of all time)
- Puella Magi Madoka Magicka (just finished airing but already the second best selling anime of all time and one of the most discussed in recent memory)
- Grave of the Fireflies (one of the few anime that has managed to earn praise from mainstream critics)
- Clannad and it's second season, After Story (tear-jerking drama)
- Ghost in the Shell (archtypical cyberpunk anime, inspired The Matrix)

Some others that may be worth looking into are FLCL, GTO, The Girl Who Jumped Through Time, and Higurashi no naku koro ni. Also, while I and many others consider it to be a somewhat "meh" anime due to heavy fanservice and sometimes cringe worthy dialogue, Elfen Lied is pretty entertaining and you'd probably like it.

It's pretty good, I don't think it's, "OMG" though, try Claymore.;)ultimameteora

HM was a poor SS copy by Kubo.

But some of the best characters were introduced (like Nel)

I really enjoyed it until the bount arc. Then my interested plummeted.

[QUOTE="ultimameteora"]It's pretty good, I don't think it's, "OMG" though, try Claymore.;)Chojuto

it is, it actually has great story, unlike the rest of bleach after soul society. Still, Bersek > both but claymore gets close imo.

Bleach now is basically, 2 episodes getting owned by someone then power up then his power up then final technique i win.

Has nothing about me being a hater. Kubo sucks at story telling, it's that simple. Around the time of the Hueco Muendo arc it turns into one giant ass pull competition.

Hell, I'd call Kubo the Michael Bay of Anime/Manga.

It actually kind of drags out and gets boring.

There is even a few seasons which are completely filler. I made it to episode 205 before deciding to continue watching it at a later date.

I have always found the multi season anime to be disapointing. Promising in the beginning, but in the end they only exist to sell toys and video games. Essentially, if the anime is action/fighting, there is no sex or graphic violence and has way more than 26 episodes, the target audience is most likely middle school kids.
