Bleach is my favorite anime just because its so well rounded. Full of action/romance/comedy/and even randomness and so much more...
It isn't too long and drawn out...the detail makes it more realistic and gives you a chance to get drawn in deeper by getting an in depth description and depiction of the psychology of each character that appears...there is more than a healthy amount of suspense and the action gets better and better as the series goes along... I've seen all 191 episodes so far and both the movies =P
But I'm a hardcore otaku...there aren't very many animes that I don't like and I have an opinion on every one I see and hear of...
Usually I'm mostly drawn to paranormal anime cuz I just like it best...
