When I was a kid I'd race down to my friend Chris's house everyday after school to watch Dragonball Z, Gundam, and other animes on Toonami's afternoon block when I was like 8~ or so. 1998 was such a simple year. Later on, after a move, my family got cable of our own, and then I made a point of trying to catch every Adult Swim anime show that I could, heh. Particularly Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, and Outlaw Star.

I don't love everything anime, but I'm still quite attached to a lot of animes, and occasionally scope new ones out. In recent years my favorites include: Space Dandy, 91 Days, and Goblinslayer.

I think I'd categorize myself as an old, self-hating weeb. By that I mean I turn my nose up at a lot of more modern, popular animes. Usually due to art style.

Bleach was my thing! As well as, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Neon Genesis Evangelion (both the movies and the series), Deadman Wonderland, Nabari no Ou, among other lesser known animes. Nowadays I think the only kind of “early 2000s style” anime we’ve got is Boku no Hero Academia, and that comes with its own set of issues, lol.

Bleach was pretty good. I got tired of it after a while though, particularly around the Espada arc or whatever. I watched both Fullmetal Alchemist animes. Samurai Champloo was the big deal for me around that time. I'll never get over the fight with Sara.

I've been wanting to give Bleach a try, because a lot of the characters look cool.
But I think I got so exhausted after getting caught up on Gintama xD, it's the same with One Piece I kinda want to give it a try too but these shows are just so long and I don't like leaving things half-watched.

They're also very dangerous for me, because I binge things very easily that's what I did with Gintama I just binged it from beginning to current I can't stop once I start.

If it makes you feel better, wait until the Final Arc is done. They put the show on hiatus in 2012, at 366 episodes, and this winter they're releasing the last arc. This way you'll know there's a definite end. Unlike the other big 3 of the time period (Naruto, One Piece). Bleach has enough of a solid structure that it was able to end whenever it wanted, and continue whenever it wanted, with no crazy stretching and reaching for plot threads. Even when The main character seemingly loses what makes him the main character, there's still plot points from all the way in the first season to tie up.

Best arc to end if you need a break is after the Aizen arc, because it ties up a LOT with a nice bow.
