As you may have guessed it, today's blog will be about Tite Kubo's insanely epic anime "Bleach." I would like to start off with a WARNING: please do not watch this show unless you really have the time to invest in it. I watched like 200+ episodes on animefreaktv before making myself stop. Even though I've watched so much of it, this is in no way a review. It's really just my thoughts so far.
For one thing... wow. This show is great. I actually love it a lot. To be honest, I was really just going to watch a couple episodes, because I remember my fiancé mentioning it and I thought, "Yeah, maybe I'll see what it's like and I'll impress him with my knowledge of it, YAY!!" (There, the truth comes out. If he sees this, he'll probably think, "But now she likes Ichigo better than me!") The truth is that the more I watch anime, the more I come to love it. And really, there's so much to like about it, especially Bleach.
Writers like Tite Kubo write in such a way that you immediately become attached to the strong yet flawed protagonists because they are fascinating. I mean, really fascinating. Take Ichigo for example. 
He's a regular 15-year-old kid, with super-strong spirit power and the ability to detect other spiritual pressures. He gets excited too easily, and his strength sometimes seems to grow in direct proportion to his ego. He's the hero of the story because he's an ordinary guy with extraordinary powers.
Ichigo meets a soul reaper named Rukia, and from the beginning they have a sort of Elizabeth-Mr. Darcy relationship that goes on forever... and ever... and ever. But anyway, through a strange series of events, Rukia is forced to transfer her powers to Ichigo. Thus begins a totally ridiculous and absolutely wonderful adventure. Ichigo becomes a soul reaper and starts having these epic battles and get more and more powerful, and meets bigger and badder villains.
And the whole time, the only thing you want to know is whether or not Ichigo and Rukia will ever admit their love for each other.
Of course, he's fifteen and she's like over a thousand years old. But then... love knows know bound. Unfortunately, Bleach is a boy show, which means we'll probably never see them together. Ever. Although, there are currently 344 episodes. Maybe if I watch more, it'll happen. Yeah, that seems like a good reason to go back to my addiction :D
Not gonna happen...
Update October 26:
This show is about a bunch of manly men being the manliest they can be, conquering the biggest, baddest villains in the land through the use of their enormous egos and large... swords. If you ever want to know who's going to win a fight, you have to watch at least ten episodes (and maybe one filler stuck in there somewhere.)
Update #2 October 26:
And girls with boobs. (As opposed to the kind without...)
Update #3 October 26:
It has pretty good voice acting too. I actually really like the guy who does Ichigo. (In English, of course. I can't really tell what good voice acting is in Japanese...)
Living out your fantasy, the brightest star you've ever seen.

Way to take an action/adventure show and turn it into a romance Tasj ;)
Well, it's not like the writers are going to...
