How are you guys liking Bleach?

Oh I like Bleach. I like it up until the second character (which is the most useless IMO) is kidnapped...Oh wait.

I know, right? It's kind of like the Simpsons. They've been making new episodes with predictable plots and such and no one seems to give a damn anymore.

The only people who are really interested in this series are either

A: Bleach fanboys/girls
B: Someone who is on heavy narcotics
C: Someone who is watching the show because there is nothing else decant on television.
D: The small percentage who still think it has a great plot...

I don't even know why I'm reading bleach...

I dropped the anime because it was full of shit...er I mean fillers and I keep reading the piece of shit manga because I think it would be a pity to waste all that time I have spent reading on to get to the latest chapter.

That's retarded...

Why waste your time reading something you don't enjoy when you could be spending it reading something you like? And if you really want to know how it ends just wait until it ends and have someone summarize it for you.

Still watching but not bothering to go look up the subs I just catch an episode on sat at adultswim IMO its not too bad could be better tho

Oh god I just remembered why I'm seriously disliking bleach right now.

Manga: His fight with Aizen felt so dull and the finish was more so. Now this new arc feels like some bad anime fillers.
Anime: I remember how psyched I was to see Ichigo's transformation when he was fighting against Ulqiora in the anime. How fucking disappointing was that? It was so lame it turned me off on the anime completely.

Lol Gintoki would have a better....

Still reading Bleach up to the latest(well every time it shows up at tue-wed) though not as enthusiastic as before...

I stopped after he defeated Aizen.
Which means I watched 100+ episodes...I need a life.

Not interested in the Fullbring. I was actually satisfied how he lost his powers. Would have been a good ending.
But NOOOOO, Kubo just HAS to drag it out! *sigh*

Sorry. Got a little irrational. *hides*

I hardly think that watching 100+ eps. is classified as needing a life lol.

You're sure?
I think so...

No, it doesn't.

Well, it looks like the Fullbring arc might be coming to a close soon, so is it safe to assume that we might be getting to the next arc?

Bleach was one of those works that caused such an impact in the anime industry so I think it's wrong to say everyone dislikes Bleach. Most will find it hard to accept that there's a point in time where they would wait for the episode in an almost ritualistic fashion. But to be honest, bleach suffered a lot of negative comments thanks to the anime. The epic captain fights were eclipsed by the facepalm worthy bounto arc because it's honestly horrendous and a waste of talent.

I don't think it's right to put down Bleach just because of the anime. The canon arcs are a great read and the fight scenes are certainly entertaining. I for one enjoyed the arrancar arc, especially the part where Ichigo sacrificed his Shinigami powers to destroy Aizen (or at least he was supposed to). I thought the author finally realized that all great works must have a great ending, but then the next week another chapter came out with a new plot that came out of nowhere so I said to myself "well never fucking mind!"

At first I thought the author was just faffing about, after Aizen's arc. I really didn't get the point of another arc but now thinking about it, the author prepared for this arc long before. I remember the first time Ichigo showed Ishida his badge and Ishida felt something wrong with it, I guess that was a pretense to this arc. Maybe the author will try to explain the 'Spirit King' and the 'Royal Key' before finally ending the series.

How I like the work so far? I think it's fine but it's getting seriously hard to follow. I think they're adding too many characters when old characters have not found their resolution yet. With that said I'm still left wondering if Hiyori ever recovered from what she suffered in that fight with Aizen but these are things I don't think the author will even bother to look at in the near future.

I used to be an avid Bleach fan, but I dropped it around Episode 200, and just watched the Aizen fights on Youtube. I do read the Manga, however mediocre it's become. Naruto's Manga is still great though!

I don't think I ever 'like' Bleach..

From what I know of, we speak in terms of the manga itself. At least for me and my peers. What we disrespect/dislike/dispise/hate/dropped Bleach is just the prolongation of the useless plotline that Tite Kubo included RIGHT AFTER Ichigo is said to lose his Shinigami powers forever. Most people agrees that Bleach should've ended after the Aizen arc, which would most likely seem appropriate for a fitting end to a shounen series. Instead of putting an end into this ever-lasting evolving series, the plotline of the FullBring comes along. The plot of the FullBring might/may have explain the mysterious powers that only certain humans have(i.e Chad and Orihime) would have, however it is irrelevant to the overall story of Death Gods. Starting with a new arc for Bleach meant starting back from scratch, the process of leveling up into the same over-powered character Ichigo always was.

Aizen proved to be the strongest antagonist in the series, yet another antagonist appears however is weaker to Aizen? The irony strolls along into a shounen series.

My only question is: What do they gain by doing a rather risky move by prolonging the series than what it should? Will it abruptly end like Zombie Powder, left for the unknown yet continuing to search for the answers for their prayers/hope/will?
That is my previous greatest fear of Bleach ending at, but at this rate Bleach is going down the turmoil, whether for the best or for the worst. Whichever Tite Kubo will decide next.
Edit: Thanks art for the info now.

Are you talking about the anime or the manga because I don't read the manga and in the anime Ichigo just now got the second stage of his fullbring powers so I imagine there's still more to come in the fullbring arc.

Manga. Kubo said that, after the intermediate Fullbring arc, he was going to start what could be the final mega-arc of Bleach. It was from some interview.

I was impressed with the series at first, but now I only read it out of habit. I wait until the end of the month to watch the latest chapters.
