No, that makes you realistic.

Stories are meant to make sense, have a message, and touch an audience. When the audience, as a whole, agrees that "yeah, that's shit", regardless of them watching/reading it as a guilty pleasure, then that is when it has lost its meaning as a work of literature.

Yes, Bleach as good parts. A lot of them. But it only takes one slip up to ruin a story and Kubo's current arc isn't a slip up. Its a mudslide.
