Thank you so much for your input. I started watching BLEACH in the Shonen Jump website in 2004. As a Martial Arts practitioner I was instantly addicted and have been and will be until the last of TYBW. In my opinion it's the BEST anime ever. I also love Kendo so it is really special. Yes, the fillers were sometimes agonizing but nothing is perfect. BLEACH will be my favorite anime forever. I can't think of anything being better. Bankai!
