I will point out that while the statement "Bleach is about Ichigo not the Shinigami" has merit. One must not forget no matter the over rationalization of this concept. Ichigo had to become a shinigami, he uses shinigami powers, he associates on the regular bases with shinigami, most settings and story lines have to do with the past and current issues about the shinigami. While no one should ever question what the series is about, as its about Ichigo. Shinigami frame the concepts for the series in many factors. So having said that im not emotionally attached to ichigo myself. But thats what a person is entitled to, determining who they like as it doesnt have to be the protagonist at all its all personal opinion. I've seen people show more interest with Vandrenreich members who they know nothing about, its simply cause they look "cool". On the point of liking a character from what I have seen there is far more obsession on the part of fans of Xcution members or members of the Espada (edit wars & user names prove this concept and thats just on this site alone). Just my thoughts.
