@Mr.:
You don't understand what I mean. "Good" and "bad" themselves are value judgments. Regardless of how you felt, Bleach still sells over 350,000 copies every time a volume is released. Those numbers alone prove that there's a fanbase who certainly consider it to be art. To you, in your mind, it is "definetly bad." You're looking to others who feel the same to feel validated, allowing you to assume that it is "reality." However, you're ignoring the confirmation bias. You're not having your views regularly challenged and only paying attention to the echo chambers that repeat "Bleach is bad" ad nauseum. When I say "think for yourself," I mean don't let others' opinions of a work cause to judge whether or not you like it. Take in the media for yourself and then judge from there.
If someone believes that Bleach is good, are they incorrect? No, because "good" and "bad" are subjective measurements. Same thing with 50 Shades and Twilight. The fans of those works likely have seen something in them that you were unaware of (they're popular with their demographic for a reason…are you a part of that demographic?).
I think this is where your argument starts to get a little shaky, you seem to be under the impression that everyone here is just repeating a single view without having read the manga and come to conclusions themselves, which is false. Leading up to the end of Bleach I re-read the whole series, with a very open mind as to not cloud my judgment with negativity as you would put it, and I still whole heartedly agree with this post by sgamer82, which you seem to have conveniently overlooked.
I don't intend to get too heavily involved in this argument. I'll be up front and say I don't have the motivation to argue Bleach that strongly. So I'll just say my piece and be done with it.
While I do not personally believe it, Bleach may well be as deep as Mr Toto insists it is. Hell, much as I love One Piece I don't attribute that level of depth to it.
The thing of it is, no matter how deep and meaningful the subtext is, it's bogged down by its actual text, which is filled to the brim with things like
Repetition: Soul Society and Hueco Mundo are, at least on the surface, effectively the same arc. Given these two arcs occur back to back, _this is not a good thing. Since other parts of the story don't follow the same pattern of "infiltrate a dimension that is enemy territory for the express purpose of saving a damsel", you can't fall back on Kubo having a standard formula.
Bad Plotting/Battles: As an action manga, the two are closely linked. I don't have a good enough memory to remember past fights, but the Vandenreich in particular wrote its fights in such a way that I and a friend I review chapters with regularly compared them to the unveiling of Yu-Gi-Oh! Trap cards. Whoever revealed their bankai (or equivalent) first ultimately lost almost every time. That's not even getting into the hot mess that was Gerard, or the "character engaged in the fight _just happens to have the perfect counter to the opponent's abilities that we never heard of before" like Askin and Lille Baro. For actual plot, you can point to Ichigo's role in the Vandenreich arc being to bring to facilitate Yhwach's ascension to the roysl realm. From there it's just Ichigo going after him, getting punted, and going after him again.
Bad Character Use: Also linked with the above. It's already been said that Kubo's cure for Writer's Block was to throw more characters at the problem. This was happening as early as Soul Society and, to me, has always been one of the biggest issues within Bleach (specifically too many characters introduced too quickly). The Askin fight left the fates of FIVE characters up in the air and we've seen no sign of them in the finale. On a related note, multiple characters whose return was hyped early in the arc finally make their appearance literally years later and amounts to little more than a chapter or two of cameo time. Even allowing for the rush job nature of the finale, that's shoddy workmanship.
Bleach can be deep as it wants. Readers can perceive it as deep as they want. It doesn't change the fact that all its potential got undeniably squandered by its end.__
You can subjectively think that Bleach is very deep, and I can disagree, but this whole You need to read it again as you clearly don't appreciate how deep Bleach is, and don't know how to think for yourself shtick is getting old, and frankly comes across a little insulting.
