Review of Bleach

What is with the hate towards this show? The first arc is awesome. Most of the 24+ OPs and EDs are awesome. Of course after the first arc the show really goes down hill. But 60 episodes of awesome is awesome. The characters are awesome. The music sound effects and voice acting are awesome. The story is awesome. The animation is only ok. After establishing the setting the story doesn't contradict itself. The characters never do anything stupid. Thousands don't die. The drama is never retarded. The fights are either fast or have actual tension.
