BLEACH OVERVIEW

So this is the first of what i hope to be a long collection of reviews for the anime series Bleach.

For the uninitiated, Bleach is about an organization of samurai angels, yes samurai angels named Shinigami or Soul Reapers and their battle against demons/lost souls called Hollows. The Shinigami operate from a location called Soul Society which is heaven so to speak. 

Our main character is Ichigo, who is human not dead yet at least,  and his exploits as a substitute Shinigami. Which is another way of saying he is given the power to allow his soul to leave his body and act as a Soul Reaper. He is really powerful, has orange hair yada yada! 

Well the story thus far is one of the Shinigami captains, Aizen, betrays Soul Society and goes of the Hueco Mondo which is the place the hollows gravitate and he has experimented on the hollows and given them the ability to evolve into Arrancar which are like reverse Shinigami. Confusing? It can be but not that hard to follow. So Aizen forms his own little army of Arrancar to take down the Gotei 13 which are the thirteen guard squads of specialized samurai angels and then take over the human world. So yeah to catch up, the Gotei thirteen split up in two groups, some go with ichigo to Las Noche which is in Hueco Mondo to save Ichigo's friend Orihme who was taken by Aizen and the other half remain to battle Aizen and his Arrancars. 

So Ichigo has finally saved Orihime and is now about to take on the last and most powerful of the Arrancars and so starts episode 286!
