Bleach

 Anime Review by LaDy BeLzEeNeF

Bleach is an anime as well as an ongoing manga series that first appeared in the Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine since 2001. The anime follows a normal high school kid named Ichigo Kurosaki who for as long as he could remember could always talk, see and touch ghosts. One day a shinigami (Death god) named Rukia Kuchiki appeared before him to bring a lost soul to the Soul Society when a Hollow (evil soul) appeared and attacked Ichigo's family. She got injured while fighting the Hollow and the only way for Ichigo to save his family is to become a shinigami himself, and so the adventures of Bleach begin!

The plot starts out very interesting in this show. The story has a lot of twists and turns and I have to warn you, this series is long currently at 153 episodes. So there is a lot of side stories and fillers. Some of the stories are well presented and other times you’re like what the hell is this. As far as I know the manga is way ahead of the anime but thats fine, it just gives you more to look forward too or not, depends on the viewer.


There is a lot of characters in this series, although there are some that appear more than others. I personally like Ichigo and Rukia, but after you watch this show and get into more of the story lines there are more characters that are introduced and I like how the creators are able to show the different sides and personalities of each character and how they allow most of them to grow. Since there are just so many characters you could learn to love or hate, this is one of its stronger points.

The animation in Bleach is very well done, the characters are very well drawn, and the battle sequences are well done also. Not much to say about this category so I give it a high rating

So far in the series there are 6 OP themes and 12 ED themes. Some you will love and some you will hate, it all depends on what you like. The music definitely adds something to the drama, comedy and action of this show.

Overall, if you are looking for an anime that has a little bit of everything in it (action, comedy, drama, romance) then I definitely recommend Bleach, you will not be disappointed.
