bleach -- keep going?

well -- i'm stuck on bleach 13.  i've tried to watch it like 4 or 5 times now, i watch about 10 seconds and i just turn it off.  should i just force it and hope bleach pulls out of this tailspin of ennui, or give up now?  anyone seen 14/read the manga?

Count of Monte Cristo != Gankutsuou

oh, and

Count of Monte Cristo > Gankutsuou > that awful remake from 2002
