Bleach

All fillers aside, (we all know they suck) I really like this anime. I would have to say this is one of my favorites.

It starts off with something that I found unique and fun and begins to expand rapidly. It basically deals with ghosts and the afterlife and the factions that make it up. The death gods, or Shinigami, fight hallows (ghosts who weren't able to move on due to some traumatic event and turned into evil monsters) to allow their spirits to move on and keep the living safe. As the story picks up pace as Ichigo is thrust into the world of the Shinigami, the action and fights become more frequent and more entertaining. Where it is now, it seems that it is only fighting. I suppose this is understandable given the situation. There is a pretty good amount of comedy relief that can be seen in and out of battles. The story, overall is pretty good. It's enough to keep me watching.

There are so many characters that it took me a while before I could start remembering their names, but each one is fantastic. They all have their own unique personalities and quirks so there is going to be at least one character that everyone will love. Villains are interesting, but they seem to just be cookie-cutter stereotypes.

If you are into some paranormal action with people fighting with powerful swords that can change shape, then I would definitely recommend this to you.
