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? ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ Just stick with the first one!

In light of the end of this post being Ichigo x Rukia shipping, I can't take your second point seriously. You don't dislike romance, you dislike Orihime.

My hate for romance has been going on for the past few years so nothing new. I hate romance so much that I kinda get disappointed even if I see a little bit of romance in the anime. I didn't necessarily hate Orihime from the start. She is a good character. But the way the anime handled Orihime made me hate the character. I'm watching the anime to watch Ichigo's journey and his character development not Orihime. Suppose, I'm watching the anime and many fights are going on, Ichigo and other characters are having battle with their opponent. And Orihime is out there crying and being emotionally vulnerable in middle of all other characters fighting their opponents. This annoyed me and made me hate her little by little

But you can't say you dislike romance, then say you want Ichigo to be with Rukia. That's a blatant contradiction.

Seems like I forgot to include a very important part in the post. I just noticed that I didn't add it. The thing is, I would rather have no romance in Bleach but cuz of the author, I don't think it's possible. So I would rather ship Rukia with Ichigo rather than Ichigo and Orihime. But if possible, it would be even better if there is no romance at all
