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 have watched the old time classics of One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto since the first episode came out. Naruto and One Piece has its flaws but its still entertaining and is exhilarating to watch in my spare time. However, Bleach has lost the edge that it once had. The plot nowadays is random and there is no central story that plot revolves around. The characters is not as cool as they once were. There are fillers in all three of these anime but Bleach tops One Piece and Naruto when it comes to fillers. Bleach would have random fillers like placing one in the middle of an arc. Heck some of the plot looks like fillers as well since theres really no main storyline. Ichigo doesn't excite the viewer like he once did. In battle he would just stare at his team mates while they are dying and screaming for help. The battle with Aizen was a very anticipated battle but it was so short and unsatisfying that it made me give up on Bleach altogether. Bleach's general concept is exceptional but the execution of it is horrendous.
