Underrated anime series or overrated
mgz:
im gonna chime in the whole bleach naruto comments for fun
Bleach - as said there is very little story anymore its basically like DBZ, they have a definitive story line but move it along SOOOOOOOOOO SLOW.
Naruto at least chases after the simple story they got, SASUKE IS GONE GOTTA GET HIM BACK, akatsuki wants the devil children(naruto and the likes) shenanigans and hi jinx ensue. Where as weve been at AIZEN TRYING TO KILL SOUL SOCIETY since well they saved rukia.
And while yes they both obviously need some filler to let the manga get ahead more. The story hasnt moved at all in bleach for quite a while its more or less pointless fighting.
Although i enjoy both series when they are not in filler and currently watch both weekly.
Thats just my take

I stopped watching Naruto around ep 40 (i think) of shippuudden when there was an episode on the bridge where...LITERALLY.N OTHING.HAPPENED. I think at the end Naruto charged forward and smashed in to someone. But it was literally 20 minutes of them looking at each other, and then that one attack. It just reminded me too much of DBZ and them devoting a full episode to Goku just forming the spirit bomb (which incidentally is the episode that crushed the interest I had in DBZ).
Bleach, IMO, hasn't stooped to quite that level yet in order to keep the show moving at a slow enough pace for the manga. The Aizen storyline is very long for sure, but there's only a finite number of Espada for them to kill between now and ultimately facing off with Aizen and the other traitor captains. The whole chasing after Sasuke thing can go on forever with no real measurable progress toward the goal. I will say this, Bleach's "comic relief" characters are maddening as hell and I want to stab them and the people who came up with them with a spork.

Bleach is my mindless martial arts anime of choice, but I don't think I've ever seen filler content added so poorly as the new captain arc. It's one thing to deviate from the manga content because you ran out of content, it's another to wait until you're partway though an arc to completely interrupt it with a bunch of stuff that does nothing but create a closed loop. It's less Bleach and more "stuff that could happen in the Bleach world but didn't".
Xenor:
Is bleach good as popular as is it is?I haven't watched it yet.

Depend on what you are into, if you liked Naruto or DBZ you'll probably like Bleach. I didn't care for it, but not my thing anyway.
