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.
Story is so-so.
Dialogue is ok.
Animations are so-so in the begin and improve greatly later on.
The entertainment could be improved but I'm ok with it.
This anime is somewhat special, for both it's animations and characters.
I like anime's where you get to see the main-character build up from the begin.
All the different races keep me thinking but it's ok.
The fillers are pretty boring but if you don't like them, just skip them.
The constant power-ups may seem unreal at some point, but hey, this is anime ffs.
Every anime has it's downsides, nothing is perfect.
One of the best time-killing-anime's I've seen so far.
