Bleach

I started reading the manga when the anime came to an end after the Fullbring Arc. I was a little curious about what would happen next in the story and whether Bleach would finally bring a story to the table. And no, it never got that far.

I started reading from the "Invasion Karakura" Arc in the hope that some detail of the manga in the Aizen Arc might have been lost and no, it was not.


And then it came, the Thousand-year Blood wWar Arc, and for heaven's sake it was a stab in the heart. I heard Tite Kubo was pushed to complete the arc quickly. Nonetheless, the fact is that Bleach's final arc turned out to be by far the worst. It only rained Asspulls and Plot Armor from the sky and not even the fighting was convincing. Except for a few that you could read through on YouTube with suitable background music. And even then, there was no sign of quality.

Bleach is a title that offers and can entertain cool scenes and characters. But if you are looking for story or character depth, you are enormously far removed from it.

In the end, there was no such thing as a main storyline. But just a bad guy according to the other scheme. And that to the bitter end.


Story

Where should I start ... the whole concept of the Soul Society and the Shinigami is interesting but poorly implemented. It got particularly bad with all the antagonists. One follows the other. There are endless fights with poor power balance like Dragon Ball and it just keeps getting worse and worse. Until the end I gave up trying to classify the strengths of the characters at all, because the mangaka did what it wanted. Depending on the situation, everything was adjusted at will so that it simply results in something.

Until the bitter end, there was no real story either. Among the Shounen, he has been cursed with one of the weakest acts.

The Bleach Manga has improved and increased immensely from the first chapters to the last. The character design, the fights, and the environment were extremely solid.

One could see in the mangaka, however, that hardly anything had occurred to him in the area of ​​fighting and choreography.

Characters

There are an enormous number of characters with massive recognition value. And also those that I will never forget because of their personality. Unfortunately it was already. The characters are all completely superficial. There are cool, funny and personable personalities. But there is no trace of well-written characters here.

At least I have to admit that among all the long-term shounen, Kurosaki Ichigo is definitely one of the better and smarter characters. Even if his plot armor reserve seems infinite.

The antagonists in particular are a prime example of how cool you can look, but how empty you are.

Conclusion


The anime will soon be finalized as an anime and I really hope that you will make some changes to the final arc. As it is at the moment, you can hardly touch these half-finished grits. As long as it's epically animated and musically supported, that's all well and good, but otherwise you have to fundamentally change a lot.

Unfortunately, it is too late for the arcs that have already been adapted because they are of the poor quality of the manga.

At the end of the day, Bleach is your average shounen no matter how you look at it. It had its advantages, but nothing more.
