So I watched the anime to the point where Aizen is defeated by Ichigo's Final Getsuga Tensho. Beyond that I have not seen or read any anime or manga.

For those that have been following the anime and manga...

Does the story progress more and is it good? I know the anime is over and I've heard they're coming back as well. So after Aizen is it worth it to keep watching the anime and reading manga. I've just heard mixed reviews like it gets very dull after without much plot.

So can I get some detailed opinions?

The next Arc is easily the worst in bleach. Its considered almost like filler.

The Arc After that is fantastic, the best one so far other than the Arrancar arc IMO

after that arc follows the Fullbringer Arc
this one is kinda lame it exists only as a plot device so Ichigo can gain his powers back
the current arc is the 1000 year blood war
the pacing is great
we have new villains,death of a really important character,twists
the rate this arc progresses i think its gonna deliver

The fullbringer arc was really annoying, but then the quincy arc makes up for it. :D

I don't like the fact Naruto enters that fight with Ichiho and rapes everyone... It's not Kubo-style...

The following arc is not the greatest but still worth watching.

The current one, however, is pretty amazing =D

After Aizen's defeat is the fullbringarc which is not really great as it is mostly just Ichigo becoming a shinigami again.

However following that is the Thousand Year Blood War arc which is badass.




Spoilers follow this post.






To summarize (as you asked for an update). The Quincy race is back and they're pissed. They have gone to hueco mundo and destroyed it taking Tia Harribel hostage. Grimmjow is probably the only powerful person left there.

Next they believer a war declaration against the soul society by killing Sasikabe (Ysmmsmoto's lieutenant).

They then attack the Soul.Society. I'm pretty sure they killed Izuru (uses Wabiske and was Gin's lieutenant) as they blew a hole on him taking of an arm and destroying his heart.....anyways, to fight captains, the Quincy have found a way to steal Banksi.

End of the day, Yammamoto uses Banksi....rapes a clone of the Quincy ruler Juha Bach, but the real one shows up and Ysmmamoto dies. Ichigo's Banksi is broken by the second in command Quincy named Haschwald, and we learn that Ichigo is part Quincy....surprise surprise.

Shunsui becomes captain commander and gives the most retarded order in history....ordering The First Kenpachi Unohana Retsu to teach Kenpachi Zaraki the art of killing. As a result, they have Unohana (easily their strongest fighter) battle their likely third strongest fighter (Zaraki) in a death match to power up Zaraki. In short, Unohana and Zaraki fought in the past...apparently he able to keep up with her and actually push her....but he locked away his power after feeling fear for the first time....as such Unohana mercilessly kicks his ass for three days straight (killing and healing him) until finally he stabs her in the throat....it leaves off with her uncertain fate (probably RETARDEDLY dead), but now Zaraki can hear his sword.


At the same time, we find out a broken Banksi cannot be fixed, but needs to be remade. In comes the Zero Division. These are 5 Shinigami who protect the Soul King. And apparently them together are stronger than the Gotei 13. One of them can fix Ichigo's Banksi, but Ichigo must first return his house and learn about his Quincy mother and how Hollow Ichigo (Aizens creation or something) came to be within Ichigo.

We then find out that Old Man Zangetsu is actually Ichigo's Quincy.power and that it has only been holding back until eventually it started to help him.

Finally Ichigo's swords are re-made leaving him with a long sword and a short sword...though they look more like Butcher cleavers.

Final note...Ichigo's dad is from the Shiba Clan, and Uryu is apparently in the service of the Quincy forces or so it seems for now.

Please note not every detail such as some fights have been mentioned....

Skip the Fullbring arc, it is terrible, but you might wanna read the last few chapters to see Ichigo get his power back. Then pick up from the current arc which is the last arc of Bleach and probably the best yet.

Do you know around which chapter I should read from to not miss any important plots?

You should read the summary of the arc on the wiki and read a few of the chapters if you want to get a feel for the characters and if you want to see Ichigo get his power back.

You could always start from chapter 459.
