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.

Overall Rating

Entertainment: 4
pros
+ great action and animation, truly more than excellent during the last arcs
+ amazing concept / basic idea
+ large variety of characters
contras
- got cut short and has a whole amount of plot holes
- fillers are nothing short of annoying
- after 300+ eps, the dialogue's nothing to get hyped about anymore
conclusion: unless you're a diehard bleach fan, stick to the manga - the story's a whole lot more consistent and the art's just as amazing on paper.
