I got off the Anime boat about 5 years ago, only for a stroll and then it took off with out me; and Bleach got on at the next port. And then I said, "meh". I'm sure it is a good show though, maybe I'll wait until the summer to see what all the hype is about.
Same here, sort of. Lately I'm finding myself not watching too much anime, even though I've spent most of my life obsessed with it. I heard about Bleach when I was just getting into Naruto and everybody was flipping out when they found out I didn't watch it.
I'll try to get into it, i'm sure it's a great series (I mean, to spawn a broadway musical it has to be). I already have the first three volumes, so i'll go pick up some more soon. I don't want to start watching it until i'm caught up compeltely though. I did that with Cowboy bebop and Samurai Champloo, and needless to say there was a lot of confusion on my part.
As an artist myself, I DO love Tite kubo's style. When I heard about Bleach, I was already into his other series, Zombiepower (or powder? I forget. >.>; )
