Bleach. Well...

The story was very interesting at first learning about the Hollows and the Soul Reapers of Soul Society and how things progressed in the early stages of this anime up to about episodes 60-70. I would have scored this anime higher in the passed but after a few years of watching this now, this anime has become quite the drag. The main progressive plot is regularly interupted by lengthly sections of fillers that could swallow other entire animes whole. The main plot eventually begins to drag to such an extent that it begins to threaten the integrity of the characters, established in the first 60-70 eps, and after 280 odd episodes I must admit that the great visuals they once had are starting to fade. Dare I say, its starting to become a cult anime, that people still carry on or start watching these days because of the hype it generated back when it was still good.

If Bleach deserves any real credit then it should go to what it was when in started and nodoubt when it comes on tele I'd be happy to watch any random episode of it on Animax SA (South African Animax, former 24hour anime channel) over anything els on TV (since they only show the first 60 odd episodes anyway). Sadly these days it seems like bleach is just trying to cheaply hold onto an ongoing weekly tele slot by dragging everything out to oblivion.

Meh, thats my two cents.
