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.
I really liked the First 62 episodes of the series and especially the 20 First episodes of the series. The plot is interesting, the battle scenes were epic and there were many innovations in the martial abilities of the heroes.
Another strong point of Bleach, is the perfect design of the characters, the creators have focused on details and this makes the anime even more worth watching. Also i wouldn't forget to mention that the music of the series is pretty cool and it fits well on the anime scenes.
On the other hand, this anime was full of fillers and that's really a very bad point of it, cos you'll get tired of it easily, if you are not a true fan of the series. Another weak point of it ,was the character development and the main characters' personalities.( EXCEPT FOR RUKIA) I found more interesting some less important characters ( for example Kon,Ishin,Zaraki etc) rather than the protagonists( Ichigo, Innoue , Chad and Ishida ), cos they were funnier and their dialogues pleasant and humorous. The main characters, Ichigo , Chad and Ishida, were so serious, even boring i'd say, and Innoue, who takes Rukia's place after episode 62 and becomes the female protagonist of bleach, not interesting at all.
Generally, is a very good anime to watch, if you like Super natural fights and warriors.
