Quote by kyokujitsuI completely
disagree. First, commenting on the LanceVIII's post, Naruto is boring solely
because of the year of boring, unoriginal repetitive fillers. Prior to this, the
battles were well done, the animation was smooth and neat, and the storyline was
quite good. The only downside I could think of is the main character.
And what is your definition of "mindless fighting". On to Bleach, this
anime has a good storyline, with plenty of surprising twists, and there aren't
any plot holes. If you bothered to actually watch the anime up to around ep. 63,
perhaps you actually would appreciate and acknowledge the fact that this is
definitely not a "mindless
fighting" anime. Do you have any examples of anime that don't have
"mindless fighting"?
To those few people that claim Bleach is "one of the overrated anime",
do you have any reason to think that? Especially to songprayeryuna, you haven't
even watched the anime and you claim
that it's overrated? Are you suggesting that every single anime that is
extremely popular is overrated?
If you're going to complain about something, at least give evidence to support
your reasoning. To Hoduken, I get the impression that you haven't seen much of
Bleach, espcially considering that you mentioned "the last episode",
unless that was just bad sentence structure.
After that, I'm not going to bother commenting on the original poster. It's
obvious that you haven't seen much of Bleach, and your arguments are both
pointless and repetitive.
But looking back at this post, it does seem rather insulting. But as some people
have already said, it was
flame-bait.
Word to kyokujitsu here. You pretty much took the words right out of my mouth
haha! I agree completely. W/o seeing the anime, one cannot say that Bleach is
"overrated". Watch it before you judge it. Obviously if you think that
Bleach or Naruto is nothing but "mindless fighting," think again. If
you will judge the anime by the fillers, then i don't know to you. If you don't
like the anime, then read the manga. "Outdated" and "being left
behind?" Please. you think watching bleach would make a person "cool
and popular?" You obviously got something else coming to u. This thread was
asking to be flamed but it is a thread and the poster's opinion was voiced so,
flame on!
Em, okay everyone have their different view...well, i must admit it bcos at the
first eps it's seem too boring for me but I can't resist to find out more abt
this series.
Yep, the first post was definitely asking for flaming, and the others who posted
saying that they hated Bleach for one childish reason or another simply haven't
got a clue what they're talking about. Bleach *is* original, because:
- Even though the modern samurai theme has been done before, I don't think
Ichigo can be called a Samurai, but a death god (Soul Reaper, Shinigami or
whatever) - which is original. Also, the concept of the Gotei13 (the 13
divisions) is pretty original, and most of the characters, even the secondary
ones, are given an in-depth characterization, a thing that doesn't happen in
other anime, popular or not.
- Bleach manages to avoid most cliches and brings out some rather original
concepts, like the main female character who isn't super-attractive (when
compared to other leading female characters like Lacus Clyne from GSD, for
instance), but rather a normal person, with good and bad points. Same goes for
all the other characters (Ichigo, Ishida - again, he seems to be a pretty
original character, Sado, etc.)
- The animation and sound are both great (even though some particular songs on
the OST were rather a poor choice, most of them are good); the fighting scenes
are well-done and some of them are breathtaking (remember Ichigo vs. Byakuya,
for instance)
- The plot is pretty catchy, especially after the pace picks up
There are many more arguments that can be brought - so, for short, Bleach is not
boring to say the least.

Yea, I agree with most of the argument strengthen bleach...
if you think bleach is not good think again, or maybe you have think you are too
mature for an anime now?,
or did you just judge book by its cover? you see the character is just original
and not the bishounen type of guy? so you dont like it, or maybe some other
reason I can't think of
In my opinion if you dont like it then thats your opinion and im not one to post
things but if you dont like something then keep your damn mouth shut! I love it
myself and I think its very interesting and I got alot of people I know to watch
it and love it. I didnt read anything about what anime you liked better or what
wasnt overrated? Anyways though I think anime like bleach, FMA, and cowboy bebop
are great series but I not a fan of naruto but Ive never really watched it but
im not going to leave stupid post about how bad it is.
When I watched the first episode of Bleach, I was like...he is so overpowered,
this so sucks.
Out of sheer boredom a few months later, I downloaded the released episodes
until 35. I'd have to say after, Renji and Byakuya whoop Ichigo's ass, it begins
to pick up from there. The first 16 episodes just seem like a really huge
introduction of the main characters.
Anyways, like I said, it picks up from the after episode 16. Also, Ichigo turns
out not to be so awesomely overpowered as originally thought. He beats like...2
more people decisively in soul society- Ikkaku who decided to be a knave in the
battle and the gate guard. Everyone else he 'beat' looked more like a double KO
whilst Byakuya just goes....'you win' and walks off. He could've used demon
arts....but didn't. Thus it leads me to believe that Ichigo is not too
unrealistically overpowered.
Also, the side characters kick ass. Yourichi....oh my god, breathtaking. And I'm
just talking about her cat form. When she transformed, I actually just fell off
my chair. There's only one character who I dislike and thankfully, she's not too
major a character in the series.
Overrated? Compared to what? It's had like....years to gain plenty of fans. It's
in the same magazine as Naruto, who by far, seems to have more fans if you look
at FFnet figures. If anything, I thought it was rather underrated.
sorry, you obviously are the type of person who sits down watching an
anime/reading a manga and starts with a negative expectation.
personally i did not get hooked on bleach watching the anime. i watched it until
maybe about episode 20 or so, and thought, "oh well, this is an OK, so-so
anime." after that, i decided to find out MORE on why the hell Byakuya is
such a freaking jerk. So i went and downloaded the whole chunk of manga and read
it, hoping that I could find some information that would explain a lot of things
that is left out in the anime.
i fell in love with bleach straight after i started on the manga.
it's just wrong for you to think that people just like bleach because it is
popular. please don't think that you are too smart for the world of anime.
people who watches anime are not stupid, they do not just like a certain anime
just because the 'majority' does. you're just insulting us anime lovers'
intelligence by spitting out this suggestion.
no one can refute you if you don't think the characters are cool. that is your
choice. no one can refute you either if you said the anime doesn't give you any
"heart beat". lay off drugs, if you're on any. they're bad stuff. the
rest of your post is just on how 'boring' and non-pulse-racing for you, unlike
other people who are so taken with bleach. that's you. congratulations on being
so different.
if you don't like it, fine. it's a personal choice, personal opinion. keep it to
yourself, don't flame other people and looking for people to flame you back.
helloooo.... i don think bleach is boring at all.. the storyline is good and the
characters are very interesting.
n u think that we like bleach because it is popular? how outrages,, u know
what,, even if it's 'outdated' i will still go for it! anyway, wat's wrong with
samurais and the title to be named bleach? come on.. if u don't like it it's
fine with me, but don't go moaning all over the place as if this anime's
'terribleness' is killing you.. its insulting for those who like it.
Quote by LanceVIIIi completely agree
with you man. bleach and naruto is boring. its ONLY popular because its
overrated by people.
there are much better animes out there. but if u like mindless fighting then by
all means, watch bleach
yep exactly...the only reason my sister watches Naruto and Bleach is because
everyone else likes them...and you shouldn't be like that...don't like something
because everyone else likes it...
Personally, I've never watched Bleach and I plan not to, there are better animes
out there than that
well.... you've noted beside one of your "reasons" as personal
opinion.... but basically they're all your personal opinion...
you may try to turn bleach fans away from Bleach by convincing them that your
point is true for them too... but thats not very likely.
every anime got people who love it and people who hate it. theres no "Best
Anime in the World" neither is there "Worst anime in the world".
its all just in your mind.
I'd really suggest that you provide more concrete reasons as to why you think
reason 1 - 10.
sry if im repeating points... i got no intrest in reading tru everything since
they're prolly pretty much the same anyways
I agree that different ppl has different view and own liking,but saying bleach
is boring is quite not right.The reason why people watch bleach becos its
good,no one will say its good if its not good...Therefore if you don't like
it,you should not give the idea of people was being "forced" to watch
bleach becos its a popular anime and want to follow the line.
I watch cos i think its creative,first of all having lot of episodes is indeed
quite tiring.But think about it,at least there is a new storyline coming in,no
one want to watch an anime that has only one storyline like killing one group of
enemies only and drag till 80+ still haven end.There are always new enemies and
so on.By saying the characters not nice and heroine is ugly is definetly
insulting those who think it is nice and also insulting the person who created
it.No matter how you don't like it,at least respect the creator.Monster not
scary? Its not even about monster at first...are you watching some horror show?

opinion.... but basically they're all your personal opinion...

P.S: Total overall 9/10 are disagree with me, uhm...well... nevermind.
from my point of view, you all love Bleach is not really the anime is nice, good
or great... but because this anime is really famous and popular. You'll are
scare to be scared with the word "OUTDATED" at your head if you do not
watch bleach. You just scare to be throwaway or left behind if you do not watch
this what we called popular anime "bleach"... huh.
Oh great, so you instantly categorize everyone who watches bleach as a follower,
and not people who truly enjoy watching it. I enjoy watching it, it does give me
a heartbeat, and I find it to be quite interesting. Sure, I can see how it is
unoriginal in lots of ways, but who cares? I enjoy watching it, period.
For that matter, could you say that you're just one of those people who can't
stand to be someone who likes what everyone else likes, and so instantly decries
anything that achieves a moderate level of popularity? Do you see how unfair
that statement is? I'm just saying think before you make broad generalizations
that make you look like an idiot.
I thought that Bleach was quite good! I have only watch until ep 50 but i still
think that it's a pretty good show. Although the manga is better than the Anime
as many cool things were cut out. However apparently it starts dragging later on
in the storyline not at the beginning.
Bleach may be famous, but that's NOT the reason i like it. Your reasons are
logica; i hate how characters are drawn as well, but i'm intrested in animes
concerning paranormal stuff, and about the battles, i love the effects. I really
enjoyed the story line though the fillers are kind of boring. But i still think
the anime is worth watchin, not because it's popular, but because it makes you
wonder what will happen next.
i would like to disagree. technically, bleach has very good visuals and
graphics. story-wise, it is very unique and exciting because you really cannot
anticipate what will occur next. to add to that, there are so many charcters
that provide many interesting back stories that will keep you wodner what the
charcters connections are. it simply is great to watch their lives seamlessly
intertwined with each other. it also gives us a glimpse of a possible
alternative look at the grave. what we can expect. the notion of death is told
in a manner that humor us and make us feel that there really is something to
look out for in death.
What more is there to call this a good anime? i think that the filler is also a
factor. if naruto failed miserable in their fillers, i think bleach did pretty
well, because it is still somewhat related to the main story, and the way it is
created with all those crazy bountos and theri deadly dolls, the shinigamis are
really being given an interesting match-up. it is kinda fun and exciting to see
them duel.
overll, bleach, in my opinion is a great anime. maybe for some it ain't, but for
me, it is...

Uhm.. >.> Bleach gets really, really boring in the third series.. It was
almost agonizing to actually watch it. The first few episodes were all right,
then it sort of started to drag out a little, as most long series do. I do like
the character designs a lot, even though Ichigo looks like Kyo (Fruits Basket),
and many of the other characters also look very similar to other anime
characters, but somehow the show still shows its own uniqueness.
I actually dislike long anime, but Bleach actually kept me watching for quite a
while. I give kudos to it, and probably if it weren't for the interesting
characters I would never have kept watching it. (Although, I don't really like
any of the main characters. ^^;)
the fact is there are people who just automatically hate popular things... the instant something becomes popular, they'll drop it like a bad habit.

Hahaha, with Naruto and Bleach they're quite lovely up untill the fillers.
Also the plot change in Bleach around episode 50 is kind of interesting. Didn't expect that one and with him having such powers, I'm curious.
In general, you should watch these two series without the fillers... that's why I've stopped watching Naruto for now. The fillers just kill it.
It's treu that there is no superbe storyline, with political plots here and there. But they're still animes worth to watch.
If you're truly a storyline sucker, go watch Legend of the Galactic Heroes or PlanetES...
