Bleach - An anime review from someone who hates anime

Hello you readers and all CineTvers !!

I am here to share my first impression about one anime. And you already know which one thanks to the title.

Disclaimer 🚧 : This post is written by someone who doesn't like anime. I can barely watch some ones that I likes when I was child. Bleach is one of them.

There is a reason why I don't like anime. I really like things to be quick and when characters in a movie/series, or whatever else, do things in a way we can easily understand without needing to explain it. Or in the opposite to accomplish some things hidden from us to explain it after and unlock some situation (like in the movie Knives out).

Anime is exactly what I hate. Sometimes they do something absolutely ordinary, every viewer can perceive what happened, but characters still explain it during 2 minutes to be sure that everybody in the scene understood. That's how In Dragon ball Z the 5 minutes before Namek explodes took many episodes and in SNK's first season, a 30-seconds countdown require 14 minutes because of useless flashbacks and people talking at normal speed but the guy who counts decide that now between 12 and 11 there is 15 seconds.



Why so many flashbacks ? Sometimes some flashbacks from sentences which have been pronounced 1 minute before (sometimes even less). And the put it as flashback. There is nothing more than a guy standing (often in fight position) who remembers of himself, standing alone and speaking without moving. That just making everything flat and slow.

That's why one of my favourite anime ever is One Punch Man, and only season 1 beacause Idk what they did with the 2nd but it's a total mess compared to the first.

I watched the integrality of "Naruto" the year it finished. That was too long, so long that I even passed the fillers episodes.

The reason why I watched everything even if this was an absolute nightmare to watch is because, the story is really great ! I mean, most of the characters are endearing (except Sasuke) and it's pleasant to see Naruto gathering friends wherever he goes and transforming everybody into better persons ! And more than that, I was already watching naruto when I was a child.

That is exacly why I'm trying to watch Bleach !

I watched few episodes when they were on the TV when I was 11 and getting back from school. Because I was already getting too late too bed, I remember that I often fell asleep while watching bleach at 6:30 p.m.

I have a friend who is a real fan and he is repeatedly complaining about me who still did not saw it. Maybe some memes about Bleach helped me to launch the first episode !

So, I started few weeks ago.

The fact that after more than 3 weeks and I'm only at episode 152 shows that, I like it but not that much.

Remember that I watched the 201 episodes within the 9 seasons of The Office in only 11 days (the second time) while I was working during the day and only 2 weeks for the 208 episodes of How I Met Your Mother.

And I passed at least 20 episodes which were Fillers and OH MY GOD THERE IS TOO MUCH, and they are so bad. We can see if the episode follows the manga even without having read it ! Just because the episode is DAMN slow and nobody cares about the consequences, people are just being weaker than before without any reasons and after the Filler Ark, everything become if that did not even happen !

But, I like the story, and I know that I'm still watching the old episodes, the format ratio is still 4:3 and I have still 40 episodes to go before going 16:9.

Before writing this post, I just Watched few seconds of the last episode and.. I can't wait to have such animations. Where I am, this is pretty simple and except few moment where there is a lot of action and new combat technics, this is just people hitting in somebody's else blades and I don't feel any power in it.

The most appropriate word to talk about this anime (at least until episode 152) is Unequal.

I can already see that it's better than the first episodes, from the rhythm to the animations and even some musics. But I still hope that things are getting better over the time.

I'll probably make another post when I finish it, that should take me one more month maybe.

If there is one thing I'm sure about : I'll never Watch One Piece or Fairy Tail, Never.

My Girlfriend is telling me that I must to say that the manga is better. But, I don"t know if she knows what she's talking about because, she read it, but only watched the 4 first episodes of Bleach.

Maybe you like it, maybe not, if you like animes, give it a try ! Have a good day everybody !

This post gave me variations of feelings

My girl and I are upset with each other right now, our relationship is almost over, and suddenly there is a post about bleach, her favorite anime

I had to click and see what my anxiety would bring me, the beginning of the post I realized that it was a person who does not like anime talking about anime, and that sketched a smile from the corner of my mouth.

She would like to be reading this, I think it would make her happy at a time like this when we are both sad, and now while I read her publication I can only think of her, and how much I want everything to settle down and we can be fine

I know that this is not the place for me to vent about this problem, which was supposed to be a post about anime, with funny content, but for me it was very important, it made me remember her and how much I like her. I will hope that everything will come together between us. Thanks for sharing this post, hugs.

If that helped you to comment that, it means that this is the the place to make this !

I hope that you are going to get over it however it ends !

Your comment also gave me variations of feelings.

I'm happy to make a post that makes someone have reel feelings but it turns to not be that happy !

I support you ! Don't give up !

i think you say what you say because you haven't actually delved into anime. I have watched countless movies and series more than 200 anime :P

Anime are basically like movies/series in many ways. you can find anime movies and anime series. You can find anime with a total of 12 episodes and anime with over 100. They also have genres like movies. There are many reasons that you may find boring or hate some anime like the fillers you mentioned among other things but there is an explanation to everything.

For example the majority of the fillers come out 1) because the anime is reaching at the same point as the manga, and they want to give time to the creator to keep on writing 2) because it's extremely popular and they have some merchandise so they "keep it longer" that way. 3) both.

another thing that i want to add is that all those anime that you have mentioned are shonen. Shonen is a category if you want for anime that are targeting to an audience of 12-15 years old, sometimes until 18. Their target groups are teens. You and i were teens when we saw these anime for the first time but we aren't and because of that in a way we have to move on to other anime that are "for us"

not that you can't see these, but chances are that due to being a grownup you will witness a lot of things that won't make sense or seem stupid because we are not kids anymore :P

I know most of what you said, the problem is that I try to watch some anime that aren't shine too, and I most of time don't like them neither.

I think that most of the anime I liked are shonen, so I like and hate them at the same time. With some exception for Death Note, Sword art online and One punch man Season 1 which I just love.

SNK, at least for the 2 first season was a nightmare for me ! No need to say anything about when I trues several time to watch JoJo Bizarre adventure and did not go further than episode 4.

I like the Miyazaki but not that much, I thing that I also love his movies because I first saw them when I was a kid.

do you have a specific genre that you like? i can recommend you a ton of anime :P

I really don't know :')

What I Would love is Shonen if they were 80% shorter 😅

I really don't watch a lot so my favorites are probably Sword art online (I'm going to watch the "spin off maybe) and Death note, also One punch man if season 2 did't existed.

I have to agree with your girlfriend. As someone who watched the entire series and read the entire manga, the manga is much better than the anime.

Thank you ! I may take a look someday :)

Hey there!

If you're looking for ostensible sanity, logic, commendable film editing — you can try anime films, specially films from Studio Ghibli (Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke and so on).

There also good anime series that adhere to normal expectations and one of the anime genres is 'Seinen', which is targeted at adult audience.

Bleach, One Piece, Naruto - these animes are "shounen", they are targeted at young audience, namely teenagers.

Anime is merely a medium, there are great things as well as shallow stuff.
Happy watching.

Yes movies are generally better for sure !!

Even if I have difficulties to watch "shounen" but even more with other kind except some exception like Death note for exemple.

I began to watch anime productions not too long ago. I am also not the biggest fan of this genre but let me tell you something, there are some anime masterpieces that are just amazing. The movie Your Name is one of the best scifi/romance stories I have watched in my life, and it is an anime film. Ghost in the Shell is probably the main classic in the anime scifi category.

I don't think I would watch a series with so many episodes though, but I have also watched shorter series like Parasyte, Another (great suspense btw), and more recently Serial Experiments Lain, and I loved them all.
