Bleach was first created by Tite Kubo for Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump, running from 2001 to 2016. The series follows the young delinquent Ichigo Kurosaki, who has the ability to see spirits. He soon obtains the power of a Soul Reaper – one meant to usher lost souls to the afterlife – and now has the duty to defend the living world from monstrous dark spirits known as Hollows.
It has been adapted into English thanks to VIZ Media, and has sold over 900 million copies in Japan. The series was later adapted into an anime by Studio Pierrot from 2004 to 2012, and has four feature-length animations, rock musicals, video games, and a ton of other merchandise. You can currently find the series now streaming on Hulu.

I really enjoyed it. The Japanese acting wasn’t as overly dramatic as usual. In fact it was good. The special effects weren’t bad either & the fight scenes, even though it looked to be sped up in post, looked dope as hell.
8/10. Where that sequel at? pic.twitter.com/AfwESdJUZB
