bleach

A anime/manga that tried to usurp some of the popularity of the Yu-Yu Hakusho genre, and in the end managed to get an enormous fanbase from 14-16 year olds who deem themselves "too cool" for other anime like Naruto. It was brilliantly put on the Adult Swim programming block in America, allowing mild profanity and more violence, which only added to the smugness of the aforementioned 14-16 year olds. While most people would watch if it was literally the only thing on TV, it is very overrated and most intelligenet people should not watch it as most of the ideas in it are unoriginal and the characters are usually stereotypical and over dramatic.
