As for Bleach... I love swords!! When I first found it I watched the first 14 or 15 episodes in a single night-- I was hooked! No shitty filler about Bounts will make me give up this show. It also hold deep philosophical meaning to me: the concept of the sword being an entity in itself and a part of its wielder, etc. It is simply awesome.
Think about this for a second. Yamamoto has a flaming sword, right? And he's basically second in command besides the King of Soul Society. This makes their relationship identical to Michael, angel of war, and God themselves. Aizen, a very trusted Captain(Lucifer)-Convinced two other Captains to aid him and his army of Arrancar(Essentially, Shinigami without souls, so...Fallen Angels) to rebel against the King(God).
Take Ichigo aout of this equation and we have the basic story of Lucifer's Fall here.
