I never said Bleach was without it's flaws, but I love the anime enough to forgive them.
I do like the HM arc, but I do agree that it's been dragging on and it's very similar to the SS arc in structure, with Orihime taking Rukia's role and the Espada taking the Soul Reaper captains'.
It's not as good as the SS arc or Arrancar arc, but I'm enjoying it and I know things are gonna get better with the next arc, I think Kubo is using the current arc to make time, but still, I think the newer characters like Ulquiorra, Grimmjow and Nel, as well as Aizen keep it interesting.
Also, while you may be right that Kubo dosen't have it all planned out, I wouldn't say he's making it all up as he goes either. Artwork for Shinji appeared in the first issue of the Bleach manga, so he at least already came up with the idea for the Vizard when he first started the manga.
And yeah, I just started reading the manga.
EDIT: Just watched the last Bleach ep, the Kenpachi-Nnoitra fight is getting interesting.
