The first of the 'Big Three' to fall, I feel like Bleach is at the bottom for most people. It does have some of the better action, but it doesn't feel nearly as creative or magical as Naruto and One Piece. Still, Bleach is a pretty solid show for a while.

Bleach starts out as one of the best shounens out there to me. The initial arc introducing you to Ichigo and Rukia has a nice mix of humor, action, and drama. Ichigo's past has interesting circumstances, and it was crazy to see how quickly they were willing to force him to confront it. Makes for a better story to have a hot-blooded teen who just gained superpowers thrown into this siuation, rather than much later when he's honed his skills a bit. Of course, you get the Soul Society arc after, and that is one of the best shounen arcs there is. It's basically non-stop action with tons of character growth. The plot doesn't move forward a whole lot, but you get introduced to so many promising characters that work as Soul Reapers. It's great how it presents them all as villains to begin with, but you see so many of them switch sides and start helping the heroes. It was pretty awesome to see the likes of Renji and Hitsugaya cross over, because they were cool as hell. Then you get to the ending with Aizen's betrayal, and everyone who isn' a piece of shit drops the fighing and begins working together. It's a very satisfying arc, and I kind of want to rewatch it.

Unfortunately, my opinion on Bleach sunk afterwards. I decided to be a dumbass and watch the Bount arc, which is notorious for being one of the worst examples of filler in shounen anime. Needless to say, it killed my interest in the world of Bleach, and I could never find the drive to stay interested in whatever else was happening. It doesn't help that the show peaks hard during Soul Society, but even when I tried reading the manga, I just couldn't get invested in it. I also know they went with Ichigo/Orihime in the end, which is simply detestable.
