It's true. I've NEVER seen an anime adaptation of a manga done as well as Bleach does it. They're are literally scenes that are "shot" in the same perspective that you will swear that the manga was written second using frames from the anime.
Trust me, anime viewers aren't missing
anything. Just a few jokes sketched in on a blank page of the chapter, which don't appear anymore anyway. Half of them were written in to the series.
