One of the three currently-airing mega-popular animes, Bleach is a lot of things:
1. It has an interesting story behind it, but unfortunately, the anime has been butchered by the amount of fillers in it (the new captain arc and the bount arc)
2. It has a very stereotypical shonen-esque plot to it (in the sense that I WAS DEFEATED BY YOU, SO FIVE MINUTES LATER I'M STRONGER THAN YOU HOORAY!)
3. It has a lot of funny jokes
4. Almost every episode involves a sexual reference
5. It follows the number one rule of shonen animes: if a character is about to die, they must have a long-ass flashback
...
and lots of dramatic music.
To keep this review short, so you don't have to see craploads of paragraphs like 90% of the reviewers, this show has the following aspects:
- Like most shonen animes, it has 99.9% useless fillers, and a few funny ones worth watching
- It has an amazing soudntrack (number one is the trademark song in the series, remade multiple times)
- The abilities of the characters are cool, but sometimes repetitive
- The quality of the videos improves as the episodes go on
Although the author has announced that there is potentially ten more years of content in the manga, the anime has rumoured to be ending after the Aizen arc. I personally am glad. With all due respect to the makers, most of the knowledgeable viewers would rather not suffer from filler syndrome. I would recommend watching bleach, but researching which episodes you should skip, in terms of fillers beforehand.
