I was recommended Bleach by a Friend. He said it was awesome and underrated. After much pursuing, i finally agreed to watch it. The more i watched it the more i didn't want to. But I can't break the heart of my friend.

Story- 5
Bleach's starting is good. With having a typical Shonen Jump story, it's first few arcs were done good. After the Soul City or whatever it's name was it becomes a drag. Too much filler. The following arcs seem unnecessary and boring. It's Like Tite Kubo( The author of Bleach) is being forced to write anything that comes into his mind.

Art- 3
The ... Animation by Pierrot is the worst. Naruto's animation was not any good either. The first 100 episodes of one piece have better animation then this. The animation is not in flow as i expected. The manga art is better.

Sound- 4
While the songs are not bad, they are not good either. The score is annoying. What's with the Background music??!! Starting at scenes when it's not needed.

Character- 4
The MC Ichigo does not have any experience in sword fighting, but defeats people stronger than him. He has an obvious plot armor. The villain Aizan is decent, but i didn't understand his motives. All the other characters are forgettable.

Enjoyment- 3
No enjoyment. Think of a thing you enjoy to do. Now think the opposite. That is Bleach for me. I gave it three, because i only liked till the soul society arc.

Overall- 4
Overall Bleach is an anime you can live without watching. My advise- Don't watch it.

Likes-
When i first heard about, i thought this would be a normal detective anime. But when i watched it, it was so good. The stories are well written. You can't guess the culprit till Kindaichi reveals it. The reveal and how the culprit did the murder or theft(Mostly murders) is my favorite part. Everything from the start of the case links to the murder and it confuses the watcher who the real culprit is. You think of someone from the suspects to be the murder but someone is.

Dislike-
The characters are not that great. There is no character development. Other than Kindaichi and Akemichi(An genuis inspector), ... everyone seems a fool. The others don't realise the most common things. If a murder has taken place, they would first scream and be surprised like everyone else but the next minute they would go casual. The animation by Toho is not bad, but most of the times it feels that the animation is not in flow.

Overall, I liked the story but disliked the characters.
