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've a seen a whole lotta animes and thought THEY were great...But after watching this series my anime fantasies just blew straight away. The start, just like many other animes, was not that great. But once you get in to the world of the Soul Society, you will become absolutely addicted to bleach, and I warn you, in no time, will stand up and pretend to unsheathe your Sword and yell out "BANKAI!!"
