Now, I make no secret of not being a big fan of Bleach, but I do read it, and I know others do as well. I feel like the quality took a sharp nose-dive since they left the soul society. But if you feel like discussing Bleach, feel free to do it here!

If anyone just watches the anime, then mention it and we'll use spoiler tags, otherwise feel free to post spoilers.

I did feel the whole Hueco Mundo arc was kinda bad, like Tite just wanted to wrap this all up, while still showing off all the things he though of. That being said, this execution arc is awesome. Or, at least more so than anything between the betrayal and the sentencing of said betrayer. I didn't read the manga until they went to Hueco Mundo, but I assume the manga was pretty good up to that point too.

Everything up to returning from Soul Society is probably the best anime I have seen. Not at all biased by the fact that it was the first, and I saw it all over the course of a weekend.

Agreed, it was all pretty awesome, but it kind of took a turn for the worse after Rukia was saved. I really hate how Tite has like, three character archetypes he uses over and over again, the exact same character but looking vaguely different.

Was anyone else REALLY disappointed with how he ended the whole aizen arc? It felt so utterly anti climactic.

And I really cant get into this current arc at all. It seriously feels like filler.

Welllllll now I dropped Bleach... when was it. Oh yeah, they were going to save Orihime from Hueco Mundo. Somewhere amongst all the individual fights, I just completely lost interest, and stopped looking for updates.

I do mostly agree with you guys - it started out awesomely, and I have to say, the manga a lot better than the anime. They changed quite a lot of unnecessary things.

And I didn't mind when they came back from Soul Society, and I was really interested in the Vaizards or however you want to spell it - I LOVED Shinji instantly (though they gave him a totally wrong voice, annoying).. But even so, I just couldn't take another round of individual zooming in, every character getting their 2-3 chapters of "Take this! Oh no, I'm losing! Here's a special attack! Oh no, he's got a special attack too! But I have an even more special attack!" ... I think I remember the last chapter I read being just as the fight between Ichigo and Grimmjow (another character I loved) was about to start, and even though I had been looking forward to it.. Yeah. It just felt.. Meh.

I dropped Bleach fairly early, After they saved Rukia when there were many stuffed super animals and Ichigo couldn't use his Bankai...

You could say it picks up after that.

Indeed - that arc that follows (ie the rescue Rukia arc) is by far the best one in the whole anime/manga. After that a lot of people think it gets boring but you should watch/read that at least :3

I've heard that the zanpakuto filler arc is pretty good. Anyone seen it?

I don't know what you mean, but if you do mean the one with Amagai Shuusuke, then no.

I hear it's pretty good for filler, and bleach in general.
