        Yeah it’s Bleach. I really liked the series but it suffers from the fact it has almost 400 episodes. Pacing is stretched as much as possible and filler always sucks but I can’t deny that the plot and characters are good.

        I’m so glad that they dropped a long running model and switched to a seasonal one.

          Bleach suffered from the fact that Ichigo mostly reacted to shit and never had his own goals or desires.

          The first arc is interesting because he does want to rescue Rukia, but then he immediately repeats that arc in a less interesting way. And from then on, he just goes with the flow, and fights whoever is lined up next.

          Contrast One Piece and Naruto, because they also started at about the same time, Luffy and Naruto both start with firm goals. They want, and that drives the story. Ichigo just reacts, other people drive the story.
