Bleach Blu-rays Get A Major Price Cut

Owning your favorite series on Blu-ray is a must for anime fans. But your collection can get expensive rather quickly when just one season can cost anywhere from 20-80 bucks. Well Bleach fans, you are in luck, because the first season Blu-ray of the legendary anime is currently on a mega sale. The price has been slashed in half, and is currently sitting at only $27, so now is the best time to pick it up.

Regardless if you are a Bleach mega fan, or you haven’t touched the franchise, it is worth checking out the first season at that price, you can find this awesome deal on Amazon here. Unfortunately the sale is only for the first season, but hopefully the other seasons will follow suit and be half off in the near future as well.

If you are not familiar with Bleach, then you can always take time to catch-up. Created by Tite Kubo, the manga was first published in 2001 by Weekly Shōnen Jump. Since its release, Bleach has become one of the most popular mangas in history as it still ranks as a best-selling series in both Japan and the U.S. Bleach has sold over 84 million copies in Japan alone, and the series has gone on to spawn spin-off media with its popular anime, video games, films, musicals, and tons of licensed merchandise.

You can read Viz Media’s synopsis of Bleach below:

“Ichigo Kurosaki never asked for the ability to see ghosts—he was born with the gift. When his family is attacked by a Hollow—a malevolent lost soul—Ichigo becomes a Soul Reaper, dedicating his life to protecting the innocent and helping the tortured spirits themselves find peace.”

Bleach is author Tite Kubo’s second title. Kubo made his debut with ZOMBIEPOWDER., a four-volume series for Weekly Shonen Jump. To date, Bleach has been translated into numerous languages and has also inspired an animated TV series that began airing in Japan in 2004. Beginning its serialization in 2001, Bleach is still a mainstay in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump. In 2005, Bleach was awarded the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Award in the shonen (boys) category.
