Bonta-San's Profile

Many people say that this anime is awesome, but it isn't. Bleach is just a generic shounen with a repeating story and undeveloped characters. The first 63 episodes were ok, but after that the whole series went downhill.

Story:

At the start we are introduced to a spiky orange hair boy named Ichigo who can somehow see ghosts. His family got attacked by a monster named hollow, and became a shinigami (Death God) thanks to a girl named Rukia. The first few episodes contained mostly hollow slaying and nothing worth mentioning happened. After that begun the Soul Society arc. Fights, fights, fights, power up! Yeah, you can describe it like that. Bleach has way to many boring fillers. I think you get my point? Nothing interesting and original at all.

Art:

One word: Bad. As time passed by the art got worse. The character designs look nice. Many female characters have big breasts and look like they came from a ecchi anime. In the latest few episodes the characters looked "misshapen".

Sound:

Probably the only think that's very good in this series. At the time I wrote this review Bleach had 10 opening and 19 ending songs, they were mostly good. The music fits the mood, and the voice acting is well done, but the bad dialogs ruin everything (example, "your sword will never cut me").

Characters:

Ewww, probably the worst thing in Bleach. There are many useless characters who never do anything. Character development doesn't exist (in other words they are the same as at the time they were introduced).

Enjoyment:

I did enjoy the start of the series, but now I am wondering why am I even watching it. Repeating the same things over and over again...

Overall:

Bleach is not a horrible anime. If you like anime with random sword swinging, people randomly getting stronger, undeveloped characters etc. etc. go ahead and watch it. I'd rather recommend you to watch other shounen like One Piece or Hunter x Hunter instead of Bleach. read more
