**NOTE** this is a review of the anime towards the beginning of the
series for new watchers who have not watched the series mostly.
not too long ago i was channel surfing threw the channels and i noticed
that the anime BLEACH was on cartoon network. i saw this all the time
on anime sites and what not, so i decided to give it a try. it just so
happens that i watched the episode when one of the characters turned
his blade into a giant baby-faced catapillar. ( fans know who he is)
O_o Lets just say that i was confused XD, so i said to myself, maybe i
should watch it from the beginning. I did not get around to it for a
long time until i found out that my friend watched all the recent
episodes and he said it was good, so i took his word on it and watch
it. I am currently on the newest episode, i've read all the newest
manga, and i got a new favorite anime character out of it.
The producer does an excellent job mixing humor and action together.
The story itself is creative in my eyes and there is a huge variety of
characters with several personalities from cute, to evil, from smart,
to perverted.
i can almost promise you'll get a favorite character out of this. Mine
is Kenpachi (information will be below the review.) now that i gave you
a little background on how i came across the anime, ON TO THE
REVIEW!!!!!
The anime starts out with a 15 year old kid named
Kurosaki Ichigo. He is a a school Student that has the ability to see
spirits. He has an aggressive personality, but he is very kind and nice
when it comes to protecting his friends and family. Sense he excepted
his gift to see spirits, he helps them out when he can and doesn't let
people know he can see spirits. One day, his family is attacked by an
evil spirit called a "Hollow." He tries to stop it, but doesn't do much
to the Hollow. Then before they a beaten, a Shinigami (death God) named
Rukia goes to save them. She then explains to Ichigo what she does
because she was not aware the Ichigo could see her or the hollow. She
Sends good souls(Pulses) that are still on earth to a place called Soul
Society while getting rid of Hollows that attack Pulses. She uses a
weapon that resembles a katana called a Zanpakutou or a "Soul Slayer."
After this happens, the Hollow they fought earlier comes back and
attacks them again. This time Rukia is severely wounded and cannot save
Ichigo. She says that if he stabs himself with her blade, he will
become a substitute shinigami so he can stop the monster himself.
Ichigo agrees and gets the power of a shinigami. What Rukia doesn't
know is that Ichigo has a very strong Spiritual energy and he is very
powerful and it takes all of Rukias power instead of some of it. He
defeats the Hollow, and sense he has the power of a Shinigami, he has
to go threw school and help With Soul Society. and thats where the
first episode ends. (i think second too
)
His job is gonna be hard, but who said hes gonna do it alone? Hes got
his friends and what about the other Shinigami's? Its gonna get
awesome!
Kurosaki Ichigo: a 15 Year old student who has the ability

orphan that used to have a brother that took care of her, but he died
in a car accident. She becomes very important in the later episodes.
Yasutora "Chad" Sado: Another one of Ichigo's friends. He is a
japanese/mexican student who is extremely tall and likes to protect
people with his strength. he is very quiet and calm, but he is
powerful.
Uryū Ishida: He is another student at Ichigos school who is his
rival, and soon his friend. whats different about him is that he is a
Quincy ( a descendant of an ancient arching group that defended against
Hollows and are enemies with Soul Society.
Soul Society Shinigamis Info (this was copy/pasted because it would
take me forever to make a short bio of every character and i dont think
i would have enough room on this one thread):
Conclusion: If you like Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, or One Piece,
this is a must watch. there are really funny parts and awesome fight
scenes. I also recomend you read the manga too. Although to me it
rivals DBZ, i did not give it a 11 out of 10 because it did not make an
impact on me like DBZ did. WATCH IT!!!
