I thought Grimjow was Renji, (plus Ulquiorra was Byakuya, the guy Kenpachi fought was Kenpachi, and the guy Mayuri fought was Mayuri). |

Right, and the essence that fans loved were the characters and story, and the story is rapidly going nowhere and the characters get sidelined like nuts. I'm not sure what "essence" of the original you feel is left at this point.
Again, color me boggled. I can't believe you have such low standards for "awe." All of these elements are derivative and are not being used particularly creatively - except when they're having fun with it and not taking itself seriously. Bleach hasn't been funny in ages, and that's what had it on life support before a years' worth of manga was rendered moot by later plot twists.
1) We're talking about the manga here, not the anime. 2) If you've only seen that far, why do you know about the Vaizard and the Arrancar?
....I'd like to see your Top 10 if Bleach of all things manages to be in the #1 spot. It's far from the worst thing I've read, but it's only mediocre at this point. |

I think your being a little too soft on it, Bleach hit its peak a long time ago. it went from mediocre, to pretty good and then very rapidly went right into the "sucks" pile. |

Bleach isn't that bad. I have read manga that is much worse. *shudders* anyway, if someone likes Bleach or X manga or Y manga, they can like it. At least Tite Kubo didn't use a mythical creature and completely destroy them to make his series so hatable.

Perhaps.
Heh heh, I should mention that Bleach was among the first I've ever seen.
1)I'm talking about it in general. I don't read much manga (but I did start Berserk recently). 2)Word of mouth. Friends explain it in detail, and specify which sections are worth reading/watching. I haven't resumed Bleach because where I left it felt right. According my sources, now's not the time resume. And I don't want to continue knowing that my overall opinion could be compromised.
 I know right!? I get that a lot. The reason Bleach is #1 is because it practically introduced me to anime/manga. And remember I'm talking about anime. Not manga. I haven't read enough to make a Top 10. But I made a Top 10 anime list, so be my guest.

What do you mean it had no justification?! 1.Ulqiorra shows up with yammy to kill Ichigo but decides he is insignificant. 2.Ulquiorra takes Orihime to hostage to HM 3.Ulquiorra finds Ichigo in HM and nearly kills him 4.When Ichigo finally reaches Orihime Ulquiorra is about to rip her open 5.and lastly Ulquiorra was the only thing standing between Ichigo and Aizen who was in the world of the living. JUSTIFICATION |

How far behind exactly is the Viz Manga of Bleach compared to Viz's dub of the anime right now?

Monthly shonen jump is about 2 volumes behind where the anime is on adult swim, but the anime has stopped for a while.

Well at least there's no Bounts, right? LOL
I have to admit, it gets a little old (and I'm using sarcasm here) watching them fight mid-level villains and watching the same thing over and over again; Ichigo fights but gets defeated, then trains, and then he defeats the big boss at the end, saving his ever-changing story arc girlfriend (last time it was Rukia, now it's Orihime). It also gets really old watching a million swordfights, but hey this is Bleach; if you don't like swordfights then don't read it! But I think people who are following the manga through the tankouban and not online (like at One Manga or Manga Fox or wherever you read it online) are in for some awesome stuff in the future chapters.

I did not even start to read the manga exactly because the author has absolute zero of scenario ideas. "Bleach" is apotheosis of derivativeness from very beginning, from top to bottom -- except for graphical character design, which is one of the best among all mangas ever drawn. |

i liked it too. though it was kinda predictable. they should have kept the espada alive for a while cause orihime's powers might have been able to reverse what events had changed since her powers rejects them. |
