Don't let the show's title fool you, this isn't an anime about a bunch of sword-wielding kitchen workers who have a serious love for a certain cleaning solution. No, this is one of the most action heavy anime shows you'll find and although it has 200 plus episodes it certainly provides enough edge-of-your-seat moments to keep you interested. Imagine if Michael Bay actually hired a good writer to craft a story about a teenager who becomes a soul reaper - a sort of samurai who uses their abilities to battle the dead demons who threaten the lives of human beings every day - and directed it with his particular brand of action filmmaking intact. Dial that up to eleven and you'll get Bleach. It's a pretty decent storyline (with a few tasty plot twists thrown in) but the real great part about this anime is the way the art gradually changes with each chapter. Major battle scenes in the beginning look completely different to the ones in the middle of the show's story and those look different to the fights at the end. It's certainly got its flaws, as some of those filler episodes are pretty boring. However, the main story is where it's at and you definitely won't be disappointed with it.
