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 enjoyed this anime all the way up to the 200th episode even with all the filler, but I gave up on it because it was becoming way to long and it seemed as though I had seen the same thing over and over. Personally I don't hate Bleach, but I do lose interest in shows that take forever to come to a resolution. Once I know that the show has ended for sure I may pick it back up again.
Other than the length, the first two seasons were great.
