Bleach
Synopsis: Kurosaki Ichigo, a 15 year old boy, has the ability to see ghosts and spirits and because of his ability he was able to meet a female death god (Shinigami) by the name of Kuchiki Rukia. Because of this chance encounter Ichigo's life is changed considerably when he was given the chance to save his family and friends from soul-eating spirits (Hollows) by Rukia. She offers Ichigo the power to save his family and friends but on one condition, that he would have to take the responsibility and use his powers not only to save his friends and family but the city as well. Will Ichigo accept these terms and be able to save Karakura Town?
Characters: FYI, because of it's length there are tons of main characters but I only listed the original main characters.
Kurosaki Ichigo: Is the main hero of this anime. He is a serious, "cool" high school student with orange-hair, who always seems bound to fight someone. He becomes a "Substitute Shinigami" after absorbing soul reaper Rukia's power. While learning how to use his powers to become stronger he also learns of the Spirit World and those who protect it.
Kuchiki Rukia: Is the soul reaper assigned to protect Ichigo's hometown of Karakura Town. One day however, in order to defeat a powerful Hollow she transfers her powers to Ichigo and was forced to take on the life of a regular human girl until she could regain her powers. However, there is trouble looming due to the amount of time she is without her powers and the act of transferring her powers to a human. Will she be safe from all danger while living as a human girl?
Inoue Orihime: Is one of Ichigo's long-time classmates and friend. She later on develops a crush on him but is never fully able to confess her feelings to him because she is afraid of burdening him. Initially, she lacks any spiritual powers but she later gains a God-like ability to warp reality through rejecting past phenomena.
Sado Yasutora "Chad": Is one of Ichigo's friends and is a biracial Japanese Mexican student who measures at 7 feet and 2 inches. Despite his build he refuses to use his strength unless it is for the sake of another. He, like Orihime, has no spiritual powers initially but he gains them as the story progresses. His unique ability strengthens and armors his right arm enabling him to fight hollows.
Uryu Ishida: Like, Ichigo, had spiritual powers early on. He is what is called a "Quincy", a priest like hollow hunting archer who are historical enemies of Soul Reapers. Because of his origins he bears a deep grudge against all Soul Reapers, Ichigo included. However, throughout the series he comes to like Ichigo and becomes a powerful ally and friend to Ichigo and his friends.

So I am a HUGE Bleach fan! It was on of the first anime my cousin showed me and I became instantly hooked. They just recently finished the anime but the manga is still continuing. Just as a head's up there are some differences between the anime and the manga. Prepare some time for this because it totals up to around 375 episodes! :O Some things to be on the look out for, Bleach does have quite a few fillers. Some of the fillers are good but some were just OK. I really didn't like the ending of arc of Bleach but I am glad that the original characters where brought back even though it was for a couple of episodes towards the end.
Enjoy!
