Actually, making a manchurian film ala Naruto can be bearable as the setting is open to cheesiness. Bleach with its distant use of modern Japan and feudal era is not. Naruto does not have two separated worlds. Everything is mixed in the same world so it s funkier to see ninjas next to telephones and computers. Bleach on the other hand is not like that. The backdrop can only be a modern city or a forbidden city-like place. Not eye-catchy enough. Even the outfits are boring. Either normal clothes of today or black kimonos/bath robes.
