Filler? Again?

Each episode of Bleach is better than the last episode of Bleach, and damn them for being less than half an hour, and damn them again for stopping every episode in the absolutely most awesome part. That said, filler should not last 30+ episodes. _Ever. _ Mind you this is good filler, not someone squatting and screaming for five episodes, then their opponent doing the same thing.. for six episodes. The filler is well thought out, and a wonderful story arc on it's own, but it comes at the worst times! Perhaps it's better to skip the interruption and continue with the original arc if possible, then go back to the filler later.

The comedic timing is great, and almost every character is fleshed out, not just randomly inserted and then removed through unfortunate circumstance. Each character has their own personality, and can visibly be seen changing through the course of the anime, not just suddenly having a change of heart.

Always start from episode one though, or you won't get it. You need a lot of spare time if you're just getting into this one. It's so worth it, but be careful: time flies when watching this.
