Yeah, the problem with Bleach is that there's way too many fights going on at once, and one fight could easily take 10 issues before returning to the dozen other fights. Plus, the same plot devices keep getting used. "I actually can transform to be stronger than you thought I was!!" or "Let's just jump the scene to the part where the good guy has used his/her full strength and is somehow still losing to the bad guy who has barely broken a sweat but then transforms just for the hell of it."
