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 haven't had this feeling since the end of Dragonball series... I was hoping that with the power of todays anime and influence it has on society that an anime this big would push through any obstacles. I really do hope if this is the end of it's anime entirely they replace it with something good, cause Bleach really got me back into anime again after DB. I remember playing WoW when some random guy I duel'd back in 05 was like you watch Bleach man, was like WTF is that? and have been hooked on it every day since. I'll miss you Bleach, I hope you come back and strong as ever. Especially after upgrading Ichigo's lvl 1 sword (I really never liked that moon crescent shape) lol. But atleast the manga is continuing. This anime has always been amazing. 5/5
