Story - 2
The narrative of Bleach is, in summary, a failure. The pacing of this show is god awful; and I even skipped the filler. The arcs were very generic and predictable, nothing noteworthy really. Now what is noteworthy, is how terrible the powerscaling in the show is. No show that I have seen has worse powerscaling than Bleach does. Without spoiling, mc beats a character in one arc, then he gets a big shounen power up, loses to someone in the next arc, and then the person that he beat in the previous arc shitstomps the person he lost to (without a big shounen power-up, mind you), this is not a one-time occurrence, it's frequent and happened not with just that one character but with multiple. People that lost to other people besides Ichigo also had similar things happen with them.

Art/animation - 3
I know the show is older, and maybe I've been spoiled on more modern animation but it really is below average. Especially for a battle shounen. Older shounens, like the other 2 in the big three and dragon ball perhaps managed to deliver more appealing fight scenes than Bleach, i cannot say that I enjoyed watching a single one of them. As for the art itself, some of it was cool; but a lot of the character designs like for captains and arrancar were just copy and paste. Some characters had good designs and others had terrible designs. I would go further into that but that's spoiler territory right there

Sound - 7
the openings are all pretty good, and there were a few bangers, same can be said about the OST. The OST had a few standout songs like Treachery, but it still wasn't anything crazy. The sound effects themselves were about average or maybe a little above, they weren't standout.

Characters - 6
i found myself really enjoying a lot of the characters, but that's the key word; enjoying. I do not think a majority of the characters were well written, especially the main cast. All of the particularly charismatic characters were side characters or Chad (but he didn't do much and he wasn't particularly well written either). Back to why I claim that the characters were not well written; development was not handled with care and a lot of it felt rushed, and characters acted in ways that seemed really weird or forced. A score of 6 is simultaneously very generous for Bleach's characters but also a little bit of a letdown because some characters were genuinely cool and charismatic fellas that would've shined in a series with a better narrative.

I never understood what people meant by "that show put me to sleep" as I've never almost fallen asleep to a movie or show unless I was severely sleep deprived. However, watching this show i know what those people meant. That said, there were points where I found myself enjoying the show, and some of the characters, especially Urahara and Gin. But all of that aside, during my viewing of Bleach, I have never wanted to drop a show more, it was an absolute slog to get through; the only thing that kept me going was my desire to see the Thousand Year Blood War arc which looks amazing based on the production value. I also wouldn't particularly mind one episode of high-budget Bleach a week.
