Overview:
Kurosaki Ichigo is a 15 year old high school student who has the ability to see ghosts. His troubles start to occur after a hollow (an evil spirit) attacks his family. During this incident, Ichigo runs into Kuchiki Rukia, a shinigami (death god). Rukia is severely injured while protecting Ichigo from the Hollow, and decides to give half of her shinigami powers to Ichigo. This gives him the opportunity to face the Hollow in an equal battle. The outcome of the fight – Ichigo defeats the Hollow with a single sword strike.

“The strength of Ichigo’s spirit caused him to fully absorb Rukia’s powers rather than taking half, leaving her trapped in a Giggai – an artificial human body” – derived from Wikipedia. Ichigo has no choice but to take over her role as a shinigami while she recovers her abilities, but the outcome was unexpected…

Personal Opinion:
The first 30 or so episodes of Bleach were ok – funny, entertaining, but not such a thriller as I had anticipated. However, after those 30 or so episodes, I become attached to the anime. The action really sets in and it became so addictive, I just couldn’t stop wanting more. The animation’s superb and the soundtrack’s great as well. Bleach has a really great storyline, and the twists in later episodes are really gripping.

The only downside, once again, would be the filler episodes. However, they’re not part of the original storyline, so… no need to mention them! Bleach is a must for those who are into action packed anime with comedy and slight romance.

Rating: 9/10

lol yes, to some people the manga's better than the anime. i haven't read the manga, i've only seen the anime, but from what i've heard, those who read the manga say it's better than the anime. question is, have they or have they not seen the anime? ^_^

aahhh well, the anime is currently on fillers to give the manga more time anyways. I read the manga n it's good. But cant wait to see how it's later converted to anime. Good review.

quite the nice touch to Shoen genre anime., Bleach has become fairly popular amoung fansubbers and watchers alike.,

when i first seen BLeach i thought it was pretty nice., nice action, plot and charcter progression., the story itself is complex and intertwined with eachother, which is a great mix . , its refreshing now a days.,

the only thing is the Bleach fillers., great depreciate in everything., especially graphics and dialouge., with the fillers yet to be done i have stopped wacthn' because of poor animation and prolonging plot., i cant wait until it starts to move into the manga.

, then and hopefully
