Bleach
Ok, it's finally time for the review. Where should I start...the main character is Kurosaki Ichigo and he receives shinigami (death god) powers from Kuchiki Rukia while she is on a mission to destroy a hollow (spirits turned into monsters) in his town.
This is his story. The anime walks us through his life and how he gets accustomed to his newfound powers. Sounds pretty generic, right? I felt the same way few episodes into the anime, but then the story starts to pickup and all the pieces fall into place. I am a sucker for good stories and for an action anime, Bleach has very deep plot.
The main focus of the anime is how Ichigo and his friends battle the hollows and maintain stability in the world. The action sequences are very well orchestrated and the visuals are top notch. I go as far as to say that Bleach is one of the best action oriented animes ever.
It is currently at episode 141 and airs in Japan every week. The plot has become more complex than I could have ever imagined and the action is even "cooler".
FYI Bleach does have "filler" episodes, but it is a lengthy arc with a mediocre plot and action. The fillers aren't as frustrating as ummm...what was it called...ahem...Naruto.
I have already written too much. I can write more about how amazing Bleach is, but I am tired right now and want to sleep.
I would like some feedback as to what animes you want reviewed. Just leave a comment...and if I haven't seen it, I will watch it and review it.
Next week I will review The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Here is some more eye candy.
