Bleach is an anime and manga that closely follows the story of 15 year old Ichigo Kurosaki who has the ability to see the spirits of the departed. Soon a Soul Reaper (shinigami in the japanese version) named Rukia Kuchiki arrives in the real world to vanquish evil souls called Hollows(evil monster like creatures with masks). After a close encounter with a Hollow Ichigo gains Rukia's Soul Reaper powers and begins to help Rukia with her job. Soon, Ichigo finds out that transfering one's Soul Reaper powers is a serious criminal offense and despite his best efforts Rukia is taken away to be executed in the Soul Society.(where all soul reapers and souls live) Ichigo then begins a quest to save Rukia including dangerous fights against other soul reapers. Soon the Gotei 13 (13 squads of soul reapers led by captains who are distinguished by white coats with a chinese symbol for a number on the back) declare war on Ichigo and his friends. Finally, Ichigo manages to stop Rukia's execution only to find out that it was only a distraction so three traitorous captains(Sosuke Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, and Kaname Tosen) could steal the Hogyoku, a small yet powerful orb that can give shinigami the powers of hollows and vice-versa. The Gotei 13 finally realize that Ichigo is not an enemy and Ichigo begins to help them with their fights. Aizen begins to use the Hogyoku to create Arrancar(hollows who have removed their masks to gain shinigami powers) to overtake the Soul King(The King of the Soul Society) and become the soul king himself. Therefore the Gotei 13 and Ichigo begin dangerous fights against Aizen's "creations".

Bleach, personally, is my favourite anime of all time. I think the animation, the fights, and even the humour is amazing. I watched all the episodes and still watch the newest episodes and read the latest manga chapters. Tite Kubo, YOU ROCK!!
P.S. Tite Kubo is the author of Bleach.
