    This thread is for any and all who know Bleach to discuss and talk about what they were hoping to get out of Bleach, what they wanted more of and things they would've liked to see. For discussion's sake, and just out of curiosity.

    For me, I was hoping to see much more development and focus on the core concepts and characters, which was the problem with Bleach. We got far too many characters introduced at once and the pieces were never picked back up. The greatest appeal in Bleach to me was always in its original focus; just a bunch of kids wanting to defend their town from monsters and help the dead pass on. The expansion on the series' world was not the same for its characters, and we saw them stagnate in terms of progression and development as characters. There should have been much more time focusing on the characterisation of the main and supporting cast in Karakura Town so that we actually cared for them and understood them. There were many missed opportunities for this, which is very painful, considering the potential of the material. There was also cases of extreme character misuse, which was pretty evident in the final arc. Bleach was honestly a manga that could have been great, but the writer's impatience to expand and move forward with the narrative damned it.

  2. Agreed. There were too many characters that were never expanded on, making them forgettable. That time spent on introducing new characters that would only do a minor task could have been used to develop the already established ones. The final fight was a horrid mess. I am content with the ending since the main characters seem to be happy, however, I would have been more satisfied with it if Ichigo's final battle had at the very least a decent conclusion. I hope a data book is released in the near future to clear up some mysteries such as the whereabouts of Urahara, Yoruichi, and Isshin.

    Shoulda just let Yhwach win, rather than make some vague interpretation as to why his bankai broke and his shikai worked.
