User blog comment:Lemursrule/The Soul Society Arc Overrated? The Pros and Cons of the Soul Society Arc/@comment-1393830-20110316044620

I am going to need a shrubbery before we go any further. Anyway, some good points in here. I loved the SS arc mainly because of the big reveal of Aizen as the villain. That was done so great and I think Kubo did some amazing things there, possibly his best writing. I look back at the SS arc and it bears fond memories for me because it is where I first caught Bleach. I think the first episode I watched was like 44 or 45. It did have its faults but I think the Arrancar arc had many more due to the length. Both were great and both had their faults but I have a certain fondness for the SS arc over the Arrancar arc.
