5 HELL YEAH's out of 5
BLEACH is one of the longest and best anime series made. Currently it is in it's 16th season. YES it's still making new shows. This is a Japanese Cartoon made after the Manga Series. The stories are strong, and the arcs are fantastic. The art work is some of the best out there for a serial series like this. To be able to keep of quality and freshness for 16 seasons (330+ episodes so far) is amazing. Frankly there is no end in sight either.
About a human boy who can see spirits, and the beings that help send these wayward souls on to the next life (the Soul Society). The Soul Reapers as they are called, send souls to the next life, and also fight "Hollow's" Souls that have not only lost their way but who also lost hope and and are in desperation. Once a Soul (whole) has been turned into a Hollow - the Soul Reaper must defeat it and send it on to the next life.
By shear luck and coincidence Ichigo and Soul Reaper Rukia, cross paths and when Ichigo is about to die during a Hollow attach Rukia transfers her Soul Reaper Powers to Ichigo.
Throughout this series Ichigo defies the odds and grows stronger and stronger to help protect his family friends and ultimately EVERYONE. As a "substitute" soul Reaper he has the power of a Zanpakuto (Mystical Sword) to help him in his battles.
This anime has a huge cast of characters that are fleshed out perfectly, and who all offer something to the show. When you watch this show you can't help but get into it.
Netflix is showing the first 109 episode instantly, Hulu has MOST of the 16 season except for about 100 shows smack in the middle of the series. Many episodes after 109 can be seen on Cartoon Network.
If you are an anime fan or are new to the genre and haven't seen this...THIS IS A MUST...along with Dragonball Z and GT.
