This anime is a great "starter" anime. Yes, it is part of the big three that everyone associates anime with : Naruto, Bleach and One Piece, this may change with Fairy Tail moving up the list :). Put that aside, it's still a really interesting anime. The story itself is outstanding in the beginning. An ordinary teenage boy who can see ghosts runs into, and is run through, by a shinigami who literally jumps into his life and catapults him into the turmoil and hardships of being a shinigami. Ichigo doesn't just get his powers or his upgrades if you would like to call them. He has to go through hell every single time in order to face whatever crazy psycho that is destroying either the Soul Society or Karakura town. Over time, it does get into the whole Shounen rut. Some low level bad guys swoop down, beat up the main character, he has to go on some sort of spirit quest, comes back and single handedly wipes out the whole group. But, give it a break, the anime stopped in the 400s and the manga's in the 800s last time I checked! I say, if you haven't seen it, why not?
