I just wanted to know what you guys thought about the anime T.V. show Bleach. Personally its the only anime I enjoy watching. Discuss!
Er... No.
I love Bleach, but it has succumb to the same monotony that happens to many notable Anime (Naruto, Dragonball [after Cell Saga, some say even before then], and Pokemon for starters). If you want a good Anime, find one that actually ends. Granted, some longer series are good (Bleach is fairly entertaining, in spite of its length), but I think the glory of anime truly shines in such short series as FLCL and Full Metal Alchemist and such movies as the original Ghost In the Shell feature.
code geass isn't bad either, as far as anime that actally makes it to the states goes.
Ghost in the Shell was great, but Akira, Evangelion, and even spirited Away were better i.m.o.
Agreed on Gode Geass.
Akira was good. Spirited Away was okay to me, but I am probably one of the few whom didn't think it was the best work of that particular artist.
As for Evangelion, I am referring to the stand-alone movie for Ghost in the Shell, which was based on the manga, but an independent story which came into being before the Anime. I do not know what the case is for Evangelion, but I don't exactly find it fair to compare a series to a movie.
the pacing ranges from good to fantastic
Not really. Pokemon has more than twice the number of episodes that Digimon has. Pokemon started in 1997 while Digimon started in 1999. Digimon only has a new series every now and then and most of them are completely unrelated which makes it a franchise and not a never ending series.It's really kind of cheating to call 'Pokemon' a never-ending series and not do the same for Digimon
