Now to put to bed an anime that's been asking for it for the last few years, it's Bleach.

Ichigo Kurosaki is a kind hearted delinquent who can see ghosts, no this isn't Yu Yu Hakusho but at least you know where the inspiration came from. During the night, a monster known as a hollow appears and is fought off by a Soul Reaper named Rukia who is surprised by Ichigo's ability to see her. As the trouble escalates Ichigo is given some of Rukia's power but ends up taking all of it and becomes a Soul Reaper himself. Not looking too kindly on the events, the Soul Society capture Rukia and sentence her to death. Ichigo feeling responsible goes after her to rescue her but things are not as it seems as someone from inside the Soul Society is using the execution to create their own plans. The rest of the series beyond the Arrancar arc is pretty much making it up as they go along so feel free to stop at that point, which brings up the elephant in the room. What went wrong with Bleach?
At the time it had the same popularity as Attack on Titan does today, the characters were incredible, the story and fighting was epic, it taught One Piece and Naruto to up their game and made them better, so why would that fail?
Well the story that took so long to build up had no payoff in the end, the whole thing with Aizen was ended poorly and as if to rub salt into the wounds, the series kept going with some of the worst writing I've ever read, it came to the point when coming into the last arc, the imagination faded, the action became dreary, the story made no sense and after suffering the Fullbring Arc, none of us couldn't care less if Bleach was cancelled, and by that point the anime already was.
It was like Tite Kubo was insulting our intelligence, he had a chance to close when the opportunity came and didn't, he was too blinded by his ambition to write more that he lost his way, it felt like Dragonball GT all over again only this time the creator made it happen rather than the marketing people. Naruto at least knew it was getting too hard to follow and stopped, Dragonballz is making amends for GT and One Piece is learning to pace itself with it's story to avoid Bleach's downfall.
Dub is good but doesn't excuse the fact that the show is now beyond help.
Final Verdict: It all started so well but after ending a major arc poorly it never recovered and started descending into an endless spiral of poor chapter after poor chapter before crashing into the ground in it's current state, on the last chapters, anime already cancelled and no hope of retaining it's former fans. Good riddance Bleach.
