I like Bleach a lot. I enjoyed the (dichotomy?) between the normal and spirit world. It had a large cast of characters that I also enjoyed keeping up with. To me, some of the best stories weren't the ones laden with combat but the more pastoral themes such sitting out by the cherry trees drinking sake. Just seems like something I would do and be happy with.
Attack on Titan was decent I thought. It did take some getting used to at the first but its not bad as I got more into it.

@momurda I liked the first season but I get the impression that they didn't know where they wanted to go with it.
This is what I am talking about. AoT, like Bleach, is a serialized manga that is adapted to an anime.
AoT at least did not try to fill in a random story arc that was outside of the manga. Bleach did, and those arcs show the quality difference. This is a very common thing when a serialized manga gets an anime adaption before it is completed.
For the record, AoT's manga was past the point of where season two of the aime is currently at when season one of the anime ended.
So they very much already knew where the story was going.
You are a fan, but a fan with no understanding of the process..
Trust me, I would never call bleach an example of super great anime, manga, or story. But it is certainly not what you are painting it from a lack of understanding.

The same thing occurred with FMA and they choose to go in a totally different direction. One, Full Metal Alchemist and the other Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Both good. It may be common but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

No, but you have to accept that it is the "normal" or "standard" for the genre.

I do, but I don't like it. That's what I'm saying. Bleach is an example of bad anime, common anime, but bad anime.

The vast majority, yeah. I love the exceptions.

@jaredbusch In a way anime is a lot like horror. 99% of it is garbage, but the good ones are a work of art. Not discounting garbage horror though because I do watch them as a comedy and they are great.

I like these live action movie adaptations, and most cartoon movie adaptations of these. Gets rid of the 90% fluff and just does the main points of the story.
Like Bleach is just the entire first season of the anime in a 1.5 hour movie.
Or the DBZ cartoon movies which just get down to fighting; I already know Goku likes eating lots of rice don't need to see it in every episode. -
