Summary:
Kurosaki Ichigo is a 15 year old boy that has an ability to see ghosts/spirits. Because of his ability, he is able to meet a female death god (a.k.a Shinigami) named Kuchiki Rukia. To save his family and friends from unwanted soul-eating spirits (Hollows), Rukia transfers her Shinigami powers to Ichigo. As Rukia takes on a human shell, together they solve mysteries involving spirits and hollows until from the spirit world comes 2 other shinigamis explaining that it is illegal to transfer Shinigami powers to humans and Rukia exceeded the time limit to stay in the human world. After they sentence her death for breaking the laws, Ichigo snaps and swears to everyone he will retrieve Rukia by breaking into the spirit world.
Bleach is one of those anime that really caught my attention on it's first episode and at the time when i'm hooked with watching Naruto. Though the succeeding episode didn't quite interest me like Naruto did. Some episode i find quite dragging, however, the last few episode peak my interest when the introduction of Renji and Byakuya as well as Ichigo transformation to Hallow! Bleach has some great fight scenes and the animation is great, the characters are also interesting and has some kick-ass abilities. I'm interested how Orehime & Chad skill will improve as the series progresses most specially Orihime's "reject & accept" skill coz it's a bit unique. Ichigo is an interesting guy though not very unique since his attitude and personality is common to almost all anime heroes a character with strong sense of justice & will go all out to protect the people he care about. Season 1 didn't quite do it for compared to Naruto but it still the last few episodes peak my interest to try Season2!
