I have watched Bleach till episode 141. And many things are annoying me. Bleach is disappointing me so much. Firstly, The MC gets cooked at the beginning of every single battle he gets into. Secondly, this anime has romance. Thirdly, they shipped Ichigo with Orihime. Fourthly, I understand that Orihime tries to help her friends & Ichigo but she ends up being a burden or creating more trouble. The only thing she is good at is healing. She's absolutely useless in battle.

About the third one, if the author was gonna ship Ichigo with Orihime, then why would you even do all this drama between Rukia & Ichigo??? I think the author planned from the very start of the series that he was gonna ship Ichigo with Rukia but then later changed his plan and shipped him with Orihime. I mean why did he change his plan, man? 😭😭 Just stick with the first one!

If I remember correctly, it takes a looooong time for them to understand what Orihime's ability actually is (not healing, although it can be used for that). Once that happens, she becomes more useful. My recollections are vague, however—I watched Bleach up to a bit past ep. 300 when it first aired, then dropped it after they'd finally dealt with [spoiler]-the-big-bad and never bothered returning for subsequent material or a rewatch.
