Plot 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.
My Opinion - This is one of my FAVORITE series I have ever watched, for many reasons. Although the drawings aren't amazing like in other series, the complex plot and epic action will compel you to keep watching until you've finished all the episodes! Even the filler arcs are good, which is really saying something. Every character in unique, and the storylines have so many twists and turns! This anime truly is amazing, and I hope it never ends! It is so easy to fall in love with the characters, and you are bound to find someone you like in this series! I wholeheartedly recommend this for any of you who haven't seen it, whether you like comedy, action, drama, or even romance! Enjoy!
