Well I will say this Bleach can get dry at times but it does ALWAYS come through, or at least has in my personal experience reading and watching......About where Bleach is heading there are still some questions that need to be answered
1. Royal family, along with that chunk Zero Sqaud (If you don't know or haven't heard Zero Squad is comprised of former captains that have been promoted to the kings personal sqaud which mean there skill and strength far exceeds any current captains, much else isn't known (Or I don't know much else haha)
2. I'm interested in the extent of Ichigo's powers, oddly I felt like he was holding back a good deal against Ginjo, for example we didn't see any trace of hollow power, and it seemed like it was just getting a feel for having his powers back.....Also I'm interested in the fusion of Fullbring and Spritual Pressure
3. As stated above Ichigo's dad is still way shrouded in mystery (As well as Urahara)
These are just a few but I wouldn't sleep on Bleach, I feel like up to this point it's been done in an extremely clever way and never lets down on surprises......Just hold tight and believe me when I say the best is yet to come.......It you get bored One Piece is quite the story if you haven't already jumped on that Pirate Ship xD!!!!
