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 love this show because it was unpredictable. Sadly, I did not know I watched the final episode when I expected it to continue. The unpredictable plot of the show is the best aspect. The audience will never know what will happen. In other shows, you can easily tell when the protagonist is winning. In Bleach, you do not know. It takes time. At the end of most of the episodes, the cliffhanger leaves the audience begging for more. Also, throughout the show there are aspect viewers want to know more about, such as the transformation of characters. From the Substitute Soul Reaper Arc to The Lost Substitute Shinigami Arc, Bleach is one hell of an exciting ride. To see it end, tears my heart.
