Despite being part of the Big Three,Bleachhas been criticized quite a lot. Some fans have a problem with the characters and their prolonged arcs, while others have shown discomfort with the entire story of the series. Many believe that there is no mystery and that a similar narrative is being repeated again and again, which makes the story boring.

AsBleachhas been going on for almost 25 years, many fans have grown to hate the series and have openly admitted to this hatred. They have an array of reasons behind this hatred. The first one is the genre of the story that was created by Kubo. Fans expectedBleachto be a mystery story because of the categories it falls into. And although the series has its mysterious moments, it primarily focuses on the action sequences.
Another thing that the fans find annoying about Kubo and his magnum opus is that the manga creator has repeated one narrative multiple times. This narrative involves one of his friends getting kidnapped and Ichigo fighting against the world to save them. While it may look interesting initially, fans have grown bored of this storyline.

According to theBleachfan,Bleachhas always been a story that follows the action genre. The mystery was never the main focus of the story.
Kubo is known in the entire manga community asone of the best action sequence creatorsof all time, and he has showcased this talent many times in the series. There are elements that intrigue fans, but the story is more about the Soul Reapers and their way of defending their Soul Society.

Another thing that Kubo gets a bad reputation for is the fact that Ichigo does not have any goals or ambitions in his life. His only goal is to protect the people he loves, and because the narrative is focused on this particular ambition, the story tends to get repetitive. This is why, despite being hated so much,Bleachis considered one of the best anime and manga series.
