Now I don't usually write reviews but since this is one of my all time favorite Anime, I thought I should.
I'll start with the story. If you read the manga, then you should already know that there are some fillers arcs in Bleach, but for those who only watched the Anime, the story is pretty consistent and keeps the viewers actively entertained. It starts with Kurosaki Ichigo gains powers to protect his friends and family, and it begins to become so much more than just that. He comes to realize that some of his friends also have abilities and they tackle several problems to save humanity and protect the ones they love. I give the story an 8 because at some points, the story goes back into the past IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FINAL BOSS BATTLE (as a filler to allow the manga to catch up), and also because some filler arcs/episodes were really boring.
The Art is something I can't really rate because I'm not too picky about it. So I'm going to give it a 10 just because I didn't dislike, but was rather pleased with the way the characters/environment/attack skills/etc were drawn and animated.
Bleach has some pretty interesting background music. Of course, I'm not a hardcore fan so I don't take much interest in knowing all about the OSTs but the music was very well laid out in the anime. 10/10 for it!
The characters were simply amazing. I really liked how they kept on evolving, and just as you think they couldn't evolve any further, something new popped up. One of the reasons why I hate the fact that this Anime is over is the characters! 10/10 for characters.
This Anime was one I enjoyed the most of all the others. I must say that this doesn't beat Code Geass in my opinion, but it was definately one I saw EVERY WEEK, especially when fillers weren't going on. And one of the filler arc was VERY entertaining. Therefore, a 9/10.
Overall, this was one of the best Anime I have ever seen. As much I'd like to give it an 8, because they ended it, I feel compelled to give it at least a 9.
