Bleach

Genre: Action
Total Episodes: A Few More Than 288 So Far…

Summary: Kurosaki Ichigo is suddenly visited by an angel of death, also known as a Shinigami, or “Death God.” The sudden encounter sparks a journey that spans life and death itself.

Review: As much as hardcore anime homos like to hate on popular shows, I’d have to disagree and say that Bleach is pretty damn cool. The characters are unique yet easy to relate to, and the whole red-team blue-team scenario makes the afterlife a bit less about the end of living and more about joining one team or another upon death. It’s either you die and end up as a soul-eating ghoul or you die and end up as a death god. Or you end up as a poor slave in Rukongai for all eternity. Anyways, it’s pretty interesting.

The only problem is that the show runs into bursts of crappy filler episodes. I’m sure this happens to all shows that run past 100 episodes. Although, I don’t remember there being any shitty eps in DBZ. Oh well, times have changed. Actually, I didn’t know what filler episodes were until I started watching this show. I remember once seeing a filler episode and saying, “Wtf, was that real?” And sure as hell wasn’t. Though, I’ll say now that at least ONE of the filler arcs was really cool.

So, if you’re a patient watcher, you’ll do like me and get past the fillers without flinching. Or, you’ll watch the first twenty or so episodes and give up. Anyways, give it a shot. I think you’ll like it. If you’re not hooked by the first few episodes, you’re probably a worthless slob, and I’ll have to take a deuce on your sweaty lewd face. Enjoy!
