Bleach (Anime) add (All reviews)
Dec 27, 2014
Bleach is one of the 'three main anime'. Personally it is my favourite but that is mainly based on the nostalgia (as I watched it when I was younger). A lot of people dislike the show, but I believe that is mainly down to the fact of *cough* 'the too cool for mainstream' *cough* attitude, and "I'm a hardcore anime watcher, I don't watch any 'entry level anime'"... Or the fact people prefer Naruto or One Piece.

Story 8/10
The story has a LOT of plot twists, they will always leave you wanting to watch the next episode and procrastinate the next hour of sleep. However, it can get bland in some places - this is purely because the large amount of episodes the arcs are spread across. I believe the first arc is around 60 episodes so if around 3-4 episodes are dedicated to one fight you might get a little bored if you're more interested in seeing the plot develop and what not - this is the only reason I gave the story an 8/10 instead of a 10/10.

As for fillers, they are pretty random but enjoyable. Sometimes they sort of copy the main arcs when it comes to the layout but if you watch it; it's not that noticeable and some fillers you might decide to skip.

Art 9/10
Because of the sheer length Bleach has been running you'll find the art style changes throughout.
At first the art is more simplistic yet it adds a great comedic effect and really suits the characters' personalities. After the first arc or so it starts to have a more complex design and the animation gets a lot better so if you decide you like the show but don't exactly like the quality at first I definitely recommend you keep watching as it gets so much better.

Sound 10/10
The soundtrack is brilliant and diverse. It varies throughout to suit the different arcs however there are some constant tracks you will notice throughout.
The voice acting is great as well; it suits the characters and I don't think you'll find any voices particularly annoying. However I found the english dub rather annoying when it came to Orihime and Kon's voices.

Character 10/10
Almost every character in Bleach gets their own backstory and some times even a whole episode is dedicated to them. The character development throughout is great, you'll almost feel like you know them.
You may get a little confused about if a character is good or bad at times.

Enjoyment 9/10
I really enjoyed Bleach. The only thing that brought it down for me was the lengthly arcs and some really random fillers but I find it added to it's uniqueness in a way.

Overall 9/10

Bleach may not be everyones cup of tea but if you like animes with a diverse universe (hehe rhymes) then I recommend you try it.
Oh and I may sound over positive, I'm not a supa kawaii fangirl (sarcastic use of kawaii, yes?) I just have an odd writing style.
