Story - The story of bleach is a bit slow on the uptake, but after the first 20 or so episodes, it gets into it and becomes a fast-paced action packed anime - until the fillers kick in. The world that bleach is set in contains some interesting villains, the creatures known only as 'hollows' and other races that are introduced later - and what anime can go without a traitor among them? Also, the 'good' side are filled with their fair share of characters, and each one is given a story behind them which gets explained, so all in all the story goes really

in-depth as far as characters go. However, the storyline - this is one that I'd give top marks, all the time you'll be baffled by the feats the main character achieves, the things that happen that you'd not think of in a million years - it makes you think that a genius must have come up with it.
But enough about the story, I'll let you give your own verdict on that - but I give it a 10/10, sure some people might think it should lose marks for the slow uptake, but the truth is it's really deep, and the slow uptake sets the scene for later on.
Art - In Bleach the art is brilliant, but sometimes they don't do enough FPS and it seems as if it's lagging slightly and has some weird still images in true berserk style (nothing against berserk, it's amazing. Just saying ;)). However, the art is amazing, and the detail given to the characters is true to the storyline, each and every aspect of the characters are there for a reason, right down to the hairpins or the belt buckles!
Sound - It depends on which you're talking about... the dubbed, or the subbed.
Not much to say about the dubbed version, I don't like the voices that are given to some characters, one of the main characters that's supposed to be a bit tough has a really squeaky voice and pronounces everything wrong. Whereas the way some of them speak, like a little girl in episode 1 - who speaks that politely!?
I've got alot to say about the subbed version - the subtitles given are usually good translations (depending on the sites you use) and if you can understand japanese, great. I personally think that the voice actors for each character is fitting, and reflects that char's personality well. For example the main char. I spoke about in the dubbed part, they're given a voice that makes them sound like they're tough and they've been through alot - yet they're still young and inexperienced. And the language, again the little girl - she talks much less formally and it all sounds more easy and realistic.
I've given sound a 9 because overall, I think the sound is amazing, but when talking about the anime as a whole, the dubbed version lets it down in places.
Character - The anime is given true character, I've watched alot of anime that I can't even list them all on here because I've forgotten the names of half of them and still - I see that this anime is truly original, I don't see anything that's been taken from other animes. The way in which the characters are portrayed, the things that they've added in, the way everything works, the world itself, it's all original! It's amazing! The characters are full of personality, full of mystery, and full of their own little perks. All the characters, even some that only appeared once are given their own storyline and get a detailed biography given, why they act the way they do, what happened before to make them like they are. In true style, the good things that we always want to know are kept a mystery so that it makes us think and conjure up our own solutions until it's explained -
I'm not really good at wording this that much but the characters are truly outstanding in my opinion - hence the 10/10 that I cave it.
Enjoyment - what can I say, I'm into this anime and I love it. I read the manga and I still enjoy the anime. This anime has given me hours upon end of enjoyment, I love watching the storylines, the fights, the puzzles, and even some of the corny fillers. This anime couldn't give me anymore enjoyment - it's impossible - It's given me everything I could possible take and more already.
Overall - Overall this anime has an amazing story, great art, great sound, the anime has truly amazing character, and the characters are so good you feel like crying when something happens to them, or you sit there jumping for joy when the bad guys gone! This anime, over all I gave a 9, because I think the dubbed version lets it down and some of the low fps scenes also let it down.
This anime is definitely worth watching, even if you're not into action animes, this anime has a bit of everything, puzzling times, action, even comedy and fun. However if you watch it, watch the SUBBED version! Also I'd suggest reading the manga because the manga contains some truly valuable information that can't be found in the anime!
I love this anime - it's still going and almost 300 episodes! 9/10
