Bleach is amazing., 19 August 2007
10/10
Author: evilyoshifan from United States

I can't remember when I started watching Bleach, I was suddenly hooked. I started at like, episode 30 and had no clue what was going on. After about two episodes, I decided to watch them online in a English sub-titled version. I'm not a fan of English dubs, either. I watch Bleach all the time, it's really addicting Bleach is about this kid, Ichigo. 15, currently in High-School. He's been able to see ghosts ever since he could remember. Rukia, a death-god suddenly appears one day. She gets wounded trying to protect Ichigo and transfers most of her power to him.

It has a lot of action, comedy, and a bit of drama. Great show for teenagers, or even older than that.
