I chose bleach as my first review because out of the "big 4" it is by far my favorite.
~Story~
The story aspect of bleach is amazing. Who doesn't like an underdog facing impossible odds to pull off a win at the last second? this series has a habit of making you angry but then gives you the satisfaction of witnessing the revenge that you hoped for during the build up of each arc. My overall rating for the story is 9.5/10. As badass as the individual arcs are they have a tendency to repeat over and over.
~Art~
The artwork was generic at best near the beginning of the series but as it goes on the artwork gets much better. Usually during fight scenes, anime has a tendency to lose a lot of the details in the characters themselves but bleach always keeps it consistant. I give the artwork a 10/10.
~Sound~
Great music! The sound is great and the timing of it used to create an emotional response is dead on every time.
~character~
The characters in bleach are diverse and support each other nicely. The MC develops relationships with a large group that never seems to stop growing. The MC has a hero complex and has to save everyone from everything by himself and eventually caves to the idea of help. You have the thunders type of personality in Rukia. Dandere personality in orihime. Then you have the rival and the best friend that join his party to complete the group. Overall I say the diversity in the members of this main group of friends makes the show that much more enjoyable.
~Enjoyment~
The enjoyment on this series is a solid 10/10. I'm a big fan of the shonen genre and they did everything right in this anime. Great plot, characters, and superpowers. I think if you're interested in the shonen genre than this anime would be a great pick. There's a dash of romance but they keep it down low so don't expect too much if you're more into that.
Overall I give this anime my #1 slot in my all time favorites and its a series I can still to this day watch over and over from beginning to end and never get sick of it.
I hope this review helps you in some way. Like I said this is my first time writing one and I plan on doing the best I can to improve on each post.
