I watched the subbed version. I like Bleach because :

1. all the basic stuff are explained on the first five episodes.
2. There's a lot of comedy (which you will not get if you watched it dubbed), and the cursing is actually hilarious (again, on the subbed version).
3. The characters are also hilarious, especially the nerdy Ishida which is the butt of jokes, along with Kon. And the jokes are good clean fun, rarely perverted and never disgusting (Naruto's farting disgusts me).
4. Except for the fact that it's fictitious, the characters' reactions to what goes on it the show are fairly natural, meaning that could actually be how a real person would react. Example: How the guys reacted to Yoruichi-san.

I've watched past the Soul Society arc, and I didn't not like the fillers. However, by then Bleach had grown on me (like a nasty mushroom) and I could not hate it. I've watched Naruto's first 100 episodes (both dubbed and subbed), and I always had the urge to skip a few frames. With Bleach that only happened during the Bount arc.

But eh, that's just me. There are a lot of anime that many people like but others don't, such as DBZ and Sailormoon; so Analog, don't get yourself worked up on liking/disliking Bleach, just try to enjoy it ^^
