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.

On of the most entertaining animes I saw, sure it is kind of monotonous if You get easily bored with few-episodes-long fights, but it also has really funny parts, and most of the characters are fascinating, create great tension and add to series dynamics.
Also: after watching it for a while I can say it's not as simple as it seems if only You're willing to get into it a bit more, and don't stop thinking just because there is so much fights in it - rather than concentrating on fights themselves try to see what lies beneath, because mostly they are used as an excuse to show different kinds of life philosophies (which is most visible in seasons actually based on manga, and 13).
