Line 16:
The Zanpakuto arc took place in between another arc once again, but it was better-received than the previous two for its more likable characters, a well-executed [[Wham! Episode]] and a genuinely sympathetic [[Big Bad]]. Although there are fans (read: manga purists) that prefer the manga's style of storytelling, you're more likely to see fans preferring to talk about the Zanpakuto arc over the other two. The Beast Swords mini-arc that followed gave more development to certain Zanpakuto spirits, along with several ridiculously hilarious moments, but its something of a [[Base Breaker]]. Fans disliked certain episodes, fans were more eager to return to the Arrancar, fans disliked certain Zanpakuto characters, fans disliked the titular Toju themselves; you name it, but it was about twelve episodes long, so once it was finished, it went back to the main story with the Arrancar.
Bleach's final filler arc, The Invading Army arc, is likely the most disliked of the filler arcs, even more so than the Bounts or the Toju. It likewise started off with an interesting concept - spiritual bodies for artificial souls, time-derailing problems with the Dangai, and the identity of the original Modsoul creator, so what was the problem ''this'' time around? At first, it was mostly over it being a rehash of previous filler arcs (and even movies) - the Shinigami get into trouble, involve Ichigo into the plot, briefly turn on Ichigo, show off abilities that were already shown before (manga or otherwise), and destroy parts of the Seireitei during their battles against their enemies; the usual stuff you'd see most anywhere else. Legit excuse, but that still isn't enough to outright revile it, so let's delve further: the [[Five-Man Band]] had been shafted ever since the New Captain arc, and they were [[Demoted to Extra]] in the manga's storyline, so fans would've preferred seeing some Badassery or importance to Ichigo's gang (sans Ichigo himself), instead of being there to show off their abilities and get defeated shortly thereafter. However, [[God Mode Sue|most of the Badassery]] and [[Black Hole Sue|plot relevance]] was [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|shifted towards]] a [[Designated Protagonist Syndrome|comparatively uninteresting]] and [[Jerk Sue|unlikable]] [[MacGuffin Girl]], Nozomi Kujo, an even bigger [[Creator's Pet]] than ''Aizen''. Likely for this reason, along the lack of ideas and [[Overtook the Manga]], that the anime was cancelled in favor of a [[Naruto

The third film was ''Bleach: Fade to Black, I Call Your Name'', usually just called "Fade to Black". In the film, members of the Soul Society are struck with amnesia, causing them to forget Ichigo and Rukia. When he goes to Soul Society to investigate, Ichigo discovers that Rukia has forgotten not only him, but her own identity as well, and that her adopted siblings from her pre-Shinigami years have returned to reunite with her. ''Beloved'' by the Ichigo/Rukia section of the fandom, even those that aren't fond of the pairing enjoy the film, considering it as the best one, although others ''do'' hold it as up-to-par with the first or second films. Notably, this is the second movie to use the "Heroes Battle Mooks, Protagonists Confront [[Big Bad]]" aspect, and it's similarly gotten a few attacks from other fans for it.
The fourth film, ''Bleach: The Hell Verse'', opens up with a raid by Togabito, denizens from Hell that kidnap Ichigo's younger sister, Yuzu Kurosaki. Aided by another Togabito named Kokuto, Ichigo's gang [[Exactly What It Says
