A Must Own Series

"I like a ton of anime and manga series. I've looked into so many different types and am well versed in anyone series you can name. Very few impact me like Bleach has. I have been following Bleach for some time now. And let me tell you nothing you know can prepare you for it! As far as the Japanese series is the U.S. sure is behind. But it is well worth sticking on too (even in the Bount filler arc). It stays true to the Manga storyline (until like episode 64ish I think but jumps back around episode 109) so you can expect solid things form it. I recommend this to everyone who is a fan of action anime. It grips you and never lets you go. And the characters are so easy to fall in love with. ORDER IT NOW!!!
joey!"
The Second Best Story Arc of the series... get it.

"The first story arc of the anime, Bleach, is one of the most unforgetable and captivating stories I have ever seen in an anime. Ichigo, who along with some members of his family, possesses the unique ability to see lingering spirits. This ability however gets him into trouble whenever an evil spirit called a hollow comes after him looking to devour his soul. He is saved by a Soul Reaper named Rukia, who is badly injured in the process. Soon enough the hollow comes back and the only way Ichigo can save his family from the hungry spirit is to become a soul reaper himself by sapping the powers out of the incapacitated Rukia. However in doing this he gets a lot more than he bargained for. Because Rukia gave him her powers of as a soul reaper she is unable to perform her duties(killing hollows, sending spirits to the other side, etc.) and Ichigo must do it in her stead. This series of events sends him on an unforgetable roller coaster ride of adventures that eventually brings him to the gates of the spirit world. If you are a fan of good anime, this is a season you absolutely have to own. Buy it, its worth the 70 dollars(psst dont buy it from amazon. u dont need to pay 200 dollars! your local best buy has it for 70!) Look forward to the release of the boxed second season. It is way better than this as hard as that is to believe, but trust me you will thoroughly enjoy this animme.

Great Anime Of The Spirit World And A Whole Lot Of Action

"I was finally able to get this set after waiting for awhile and am very pleased with this set. The storyline is pretty simple like most reviewers say with a dash of power plays and betrayal story lines in the series as well. I would say this is a newer version of Yu YU Hakusho with a mix of Samurai X but done exceptionally well. The English and Japanese voice actors are great and the animation is done very well the humor in the series is done very good too. I decided I wanted to get this one instead of the standard one being released in June because with this set you get both the English and Japanese audio with the standard version you just the English audio only I heard. The season set only goes up to episode 20 so sadly we're going to have to either wait for the season 2 box set or get the dvd's one by one as usual. Still for this exceptional series I feel would definitely be worth it so if you can't find this online check out your stores near you..."
One of the greatest things to come out of Japan!

"I'm not a huge fan of all these animes, I just like a select few. This is definitely one of my personal favorites (others include Naruto and Death Note...in case you were looking for more animes like Bleach). I won't summarize the story for you, I'll just say that it should probably be PG-13 because of some blood and minor swearing. It is an excellent action show with one of the best stories I've seen in an anime. Buy the $30 version (Bleach Uncut Season1 Box Set (Standard Edition)) which I am quite sure has the same stuff as the expensive version, just no wallet chain or whatever. Oh, and a sidenote, the first few episodes are kind of lame but as you move on (and further into the second season) you'll see why it's so popular."
