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 loved bleach until they went to the soul society at that point it had nothing to do with the hollows anymore, but i still liked it up until the whole hollow Ichigo thing. The story is still good and entertaining however it is to f***ing long it no longer has anything to do with hollows or anything and there are so many characters all the soul reaper, the vizord guys, all the arancars and then they have backstories with there old friends, and even that arch to the past iot would be okay if they died every now and then but every single person is important. The 11th division team doesn't even just have captain and vice they have all the way to the 4th seat as returning characters, and the battles have gotten to the point were they no longer fight they just get new power after new power until its really just them explaining the different techniques they use followed by dramatic scenes were one person is almost killed then suddenly okay with a new outfit or an increasingly impractical weapon. For those that like it great but as a long time fan I have grown to dislike this anime despite its potential.
