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.
At first, this show looked really promising with its average animations and a story that came together about a boy whom discovers pretty much, just to sum it up, that there is pretty much another dimension called Soul Society which consists of people whom kill creatures called Hallows. The problem with this series, also what pushed me away, isn't necessarily the story line because I found it to be an exciting and hilarious show. It was the random filler arc that were thrown into the middle of an on going arc at the wrong point in time. Instead of making it flow correctly and adding it in at the right moment at the end of one arc, the creators found it convenient to throw it in right smack dab in the middle of an on going show. If they actually made it flow, It would be a 4 star series in my book but instead its around 1-2
