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.

Personally I couldn't have cared less for any of the fillers, but the main story was amazing. It did not lack in any of it's little niches it brought up and it ultimately gave us characters we could love and could not ever forget. Many people are complaining about the series ending. Personally I disagree. Most series end up becoming tedious and rather annoying when they overstay their welcome. I feel as if Bleach is starting to leave and go on a little holiday only to arrive later sometime with a few amazing souvenirs for us. And this new second story (Which I will not spoil) is certainly amazing in itself. It reawakens Bleach and allows it to actually overshadow the old storyline.
I very much like this direction it's taking.
