oh GOD DAMNIT NICK!

Hohohoh .

 

what? You got something against Bleach?

 

Me no like Bleach.

 

Nope .

 

Series like this are why Sforzato said that. Bleach was good until it got longer than that. Now it is just dragging out on nothing as far as a lot of us are concerned. The irony of mentioning it as a counter example is a bittersweet feeling.

 

it only seems like it's dragging out because all the episodes haven't been dubbed. In the manga there's only two more arcs left, and we only have fillers so the manga can get further so the Japanese can make the episodes, and then we can dub them

 

I read the manga. I am speaking about the manga.

>implying the Bleach dub was good

 

Yeah I'm all set with the cartoons.

 

Bleach would have been a great manga if it had ended after the Soul Society arc.
After that it all went to ****
Also no backgrounds.

 

what are you talking about? If they ended it with the soul society arc it would have been boring. I'm glad they're keeping it going

 

Would have been boring?
Why Bleach would have been excellent if it ended after the Soul society arc

Series starts out with a young teenager who's gifted with the ability to see spirits and whatnot. One day a malevolent spirit threatens to kill his loved one and must be fended off by a "soul reaper"; a being sent purify souls gone astray. Incapable of defeating the beat alone, the soul reaper lends her power to the young boy who gains powers of his own and destroys the beast. Now the boy must act as a soul reaper while the other one regains her strength, he will have to face evil spirits of all kinds and encounter things from an entirely different plain of existence.

Now doesn't this sound like a great premise? Every episode Ichigo would fight a new hollow, learn his/her back story, who they were, how they died, why they became a hollow. As the series goes on a plot would develop involving more soul reapers and their plan to kill Rukia. Ichigo with the help of his new companions goes to save Rukia from the Soul society, while in the Soul society each of his friends overcome any emotional trauma they may have and unlock new found powers, ultimately ending with Ichigo achieving Bankai and facing off against one of the strongest captains. Ichigo defeats the captain, saves Rukia and goes home.
THE
END

THIS! Is what Bleach could have been, a timeless classic about a teenager and his friends overcoming seemingly impossible odds to save their beloved friend. Nothing to DEEP and pretentious, nothing to overly complicated, just a good old fun fashioned adventure.

Now Bleach is just filled with villain after villain all stronger then the last. There's really no point in calling a character "the strongest being in existence" because the next bad guy is gonna be "the even MORE stronger being in existence". I think what Bleach is guilty of the most is forgotten characters and concepts. Remember Yoruichi? The one who helped Ichigo achieve his bankai state, the thing he abuses to this day? Remember that time she did something relevant after the Soul society arc? Me neither.
Remember HELL!? the place seemingly crawling with evil of all kinds? Remember when they did ANYTHING with that? Oh wait, they didn't.

So yeah, Bleach has pretty much gone down the shitter. It's sad because of how much potential it had.

 

Yeah, like spongebob. I mean, is he ever going to get his license or what? /:

 

SHHHH we don't talk about Status Quo

 

tl;dr
I don't get where you're going. You guys are overthinking it. And of course the villians are getting stronger, how else is it going to get exciting. Otherwise the whole time it would just be Ichigo beating the crap out of everyone. And the plot is good as well. You should just enjoy it for what it is

 

I can't wait until this show regardless
This sux tho.

 

Either you read it or you did not.

We cannot all be as shallow as you can be.

 

Well then you should probably read it if you want to make a rebuttal.
And how else would they make the villains exciting? Oh I dunno, by making them interesting characters with fleshed out and vibrant personality's and maybe an interesting backstory while they're at it.
The Joker from Batman isn't the strongest villain ever, hell he doesn't even have any powers; but people love him because he's an interesting character who's full of life.
If the only way to make your characters exciting is by making them stronger then the last one then you're not doing a very good job at writing characters.
