It was really the aesthetic aspect of Bleach that drew me in. Something about the art style seemed more polished and artistic then most anime. I also thought the use of butterflies to represent spirits was a nice touch. The story line in the first episode was enough to make me curious about more. The show quickly makes you care about the characters. It's inevitable that you worry what will happen to Rukia now that Ichigo has her powers. And one can't help but wonder if Ichigo will ever be able to enjoy life like the average teenager with the weight he has choosen to carry on his shoulders. I even fell in love with Ichigo and Rukia's perverted little stuffed animal, Kon. The show really does have a good concept, it's some what of a superhero legend meets a horror story. Deep story Arcs that lead you in deeper into Soul Society. Intense battles that don't last eight episodes long. Characer development is done nicely. Inner struggle with our main character. Supporting characters are exciting and fresh. Antagonist Characers keep the conflick going. Filler material is kept to a minimum. Each character has some surprising background or something to overcome.Awsome Opening and Ending Songs by your favorite J-rock/J-pop groups.The Shinagami picture book mini episodes and inner jokes.After the initial introduction episodes the story really picks up. Good mix of comedy and action. Interesting story.
