im curious what the author thinks bleach being conservative, given its about a rebellious teenager who breaks all the traditional values of a longstanding organization by breaking a lot of taboo things throught the series (banned substitute shinigamis, yet still became one, caused an uprising just to save Rukia, did not have full shinigami blood by delving into hollow powers and essentially being part hollow thus a vizard, something the society swears to destroy, even further goes into that hole by being part quincy thus being mixed blood, bypasses the original method of getting a zanpakto initially, the list could go on and on)

the show almost represents progressive action given its essentially old farts finally changing the rules for modern times.
