I just finished watching Bleach 156 and am wondering what the hell is happening to this anime. It is beginning to become a parody of itself and has taken a turn towards
The Lame. I used to look forward to each episode but lately I feel like I am sitting through twenty-four minutes of pointless dialogue and action which is ignoring story development for flashy visuals and sight gags. Is the anime diverging from its manga roots or does the manga get lame too?
