Genre: Action, Bangsian fantasy, Supernatural

Description: The story opens with the sudden appearance of Shinigami Rukia Kuchiki in Ichigo Kurosaki's bedroom. She is surprised at his ability to see her, but their conversation is shortly interrupted by the appearance of a "Hollow", an evil spirit. After Rukia is severely wounded while trying to protect Ichigo, she attempts to transfer half her powers to Ichigo in order to let him face the Hollow on equal footing. Ichigo instead unintentionally absorbs almost all her energy, allowing him to defeat the Hollow with ease. The next day Rukia appears in Ichigo's classroom as a seemingly normal Human, and informs Ichigo that his absorption of her powers has left her stranded in the Human World until she recovers her strength. In the meantime Ichigo shelters Rukia in his home and takes over her job as a Shinigami, battling Hollows and guiding lost souls to Soul Society. Ichigo gets dragged into conflicts within Soul Society and eventually joins in a war against former Shinigami, Sōsuke Aizen and later the powerful Wandenreich army which is trying to destroy Soul Society.

Anime[]

General Information

Title:

Bleach

Original Network: TV Tokyo, Studio Pierrot
Crunchyroll
Original Run: October 5, 2004 - March 27, 2012
Episode Length: Approx 24 minutes per episode.
Description: Bleach follows the adventures of Ichigo Kurosaki, a high school student with the ability to see ghosts. He gets involved in the Soul Society when a Shinigami appears in his life and he gains her powers.

The anime version of the story generally follows the manga quite closely, but diverges in some important aspects: in particular, seasons 4 and 5 (Bount arc), season 8 (The New Captain Shūsuke Amagai arc), season 12 and 13 (Zanpakutō Unknown Tales arc and Beast Swords arc) and season 15 (Gotei 13 Invading Army arc) are anime-only arcs, not written by Tite Kubo. These anime-only arcs were necessitated by the anime's approximately weekly production schedule of the manga, as the manga chapters need to be published before manga-based content can be animated. There are 366 episodes in total and 2 OVAs.

Main Characters:

Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Orihime Inoue, Renji Abarai, and more. See Characters for more.
