I have watched Bleach till episode 141. And many things are annoying me. Bleach is disappointing me so much. Firstly, The MC gets cooked at the beginning of every single battle he gets into. Secondly, this anime has romance. Thirdly, they shipped Ichigo with Orihime. Fourthly, I understand that Orihime tries to help her friends & Ichigo but she ends up being a burden or creating more trouble. The only thing she is good at is healing. She’s absolutely useless in battle.
About the third one, if the author was gonna ship Ichigo with Orihime, then why would you even do all this drama between Rukia & Ichigo??? I think the author planned from the very start of the series that he was gonna ship Ichigo with Rukia but then later changed his plan and shipped him with Orihime. I mean why did he change his plan, man? 😭😭 Just stick with the first one!
Back in the day every long running series had a filler (Gintoki explains it the best) episodes. These episodes can be a funny break from the main plot at best and unwatchable garbage at worst. In Bleach they were just boring imo excluding a few comedy ones where they focused more on background characters. But even if you skip filler, every arc, every fight feels so stretched out.
Filler episodes, yes. Bleach had filler seasons running to 20+ consecutive episodes, which, while not quite unheard-of, has never been common, either.
