Topic.

Do you like really fucking weird imagery? If so, proceed.

I stuck with it because I had spent enough time with it I might as well see it through. Much like Naruto.

Unfortunately, unlike Naruto, the payoff was not worth it. >_>

Although I agree bleach has no payoff you think Naruto does? Lol

Your guess is as good as mine

Naruto was worth finishing. Bleach is worth starting but not finishing. If you have to finish what you start, dont start it.

Despite Jesus no Jutsu-related shenanigans, Naruto vs Sasuke was good payoff. It was hampered by the slog to get there, but the important shit came full circle and reached a satisfying, if expected because aforementioned Jesus no Jutsu shenanigans, conclusion. Even moreso with the anime, to be honest.

Granted, this is all through the lens of sunken cost. If I were able to go back in time, I would probably tell younger me to not bother reading it.

I have never heard of something being worth starting but not finishing

Well with bleach once they defeat Aizen and it starts the arc after that just stop. So many asspulls. Bleach is so weird. I loved the characters but the story was very weird. The manga got lazy too. The backgrounds for the final arc were hardly drawn.

---

Aperently it used to be one of the most detailed mangas until it went too mainstream and the artist couldn't keep up with a chapter a week, shame.

read Toriko instead

On one hand, no not really, the story doesn't really go anywhere, and the choreography in the manga wasn't great. On the other, a chapter takes about 20 seconds to "read" and some of the reveals and payoffs made me laugh harder than most comedies do.

I'm still fond of the series after everything, but I think a lot of my enjoyment came from riffing on the weekly chapters with everyone else reading it, so I couldn't say if it's worth it now.

Read the manga stay away from the anime.

After the soul society arc, the story becomes absolute trash.

Bleach started pretty good, but it was obvious that Kubo was running out of ideas. While most people say that his manga got cancelled, I'm starting to more believe that he just wanted to end it because of all the medical complications that comes with doing weekly shonen manga's like this.

---

Sadly, no, the whole thing ends up a disappointing mess.

Still some of my favorite female character designs though.

I wouldn't waste your time. If I remember, Tite Kubo said he started the series because he just liked to draw cool characters. The story falls flat after the Soul Society Invasion Arc and just gets more nonsensical from there on out.
