I wouldn't say bleach's animation nor is it art sub-par. Maybe if u compared from the beginning of the anime then yeah.
yeah man bleach's artwork is great, i dont know what hes talking about
i especially like it because of how it improved over the years
Dudes, Gintama had better art in its first run. A lot more detailed animation, and a lot more frames. Simply looking good isn't good animation, it's good art deign, but animation quality depends on both the number of frames, and the detail in those frames. The problem that, what I've seen of Bleach, has, is that it either re-uses animation, uses a lot of stills, or uses over-simplified animation, for the comedy scenes. The comedy scenes, I kinda get, but all of those factors are telltale signs of cheap animation.
As for the later seasons, I don't know, again, I've only seen the first season and change. And.... it ain't pretty. Not Naruto Shippuden levels of cheap, but still.
Not to mention, I was just asking that guy if that's why he hated the anime.
