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.

This is a great anime series. There's a lot to like about it. Most of the characters are memorible, especially the Captains and Vice-Captains. The animation is good but drops in quality during fill episodes. The main story is interesting. The dialog is as excellent but can sometimes be crappy thanks to poor subtitles.
There are a few problems which really keep this from being a perfect anime. One is there are a lot of fillers that last too long and suck (exception for the Zanpaktou arc). Because they occur after every arc and sometimes in the middle, it really takes away from the main story. The other problem is the character Orihime. Dear god she is one of the most annoying characters later in the series. Almost every line during the Espada arc are her repeating "Kurosaki-kun". It probably wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt repeated 100 times during each episode.
