Summary:
Kurosaki Ichigo is a 15 year old boy that has an ability to see ghosts/spirits. Because of his ability, he is able to meet a female death god (a.k.a Shinigami) named Kuchiki Rukia. To save his family and friends from unwanted soul-eating spirits (Hollows), Rukia transfers her Shinigami powers to Ichigo. As Rukia takes on a human shell, together they solve mysteries involving spirits and hollows until from the spirit world comes 2 other shinigamis explaining that it is illegal to transfer Shinigami powers to humans and Rukia exceeded the time limit to stay in the human world. After they sentence her death for breaking the laws, Ichigo snaps and swears to everyone he will retrieve Rukia by breaking into the spirit world.
It was heartbreaking to see Ginjo died. I think he is an interesting character, they should have provided more details on how he became a Substitute Soul Reaper. I like Ichigo's resolve, he's just. Bringing back Ginjo's body for proper burial is a noble thing to do. Episode 366 is one of my sentimental favorite. For one, I like the ending where Ichigo was being welcomed by his family and friends this time as a Soul Reaper. I think that was touching. It is also a welcome to see Hirako, Kensei among others are back and retain their posts but most of all, it was very nice seeing all other captains since i kindda missed them for a while now. All in all i am very impressed with the way things are going with Bleach. For a person who is not really into anime (tv series and movies), Bleach Series made me one. Kudos!!!
