BLEACH

Bleach, an animated story written by Tite Kubo, tells the story of a sixteen year old boy named Ichigo Kurosaki. Ichigo has always been able to see ghosts, so sometimes he cannot tell the difference between ghosts and real humans. One day a mysterious girl shows up in his room; the girl turns out to be Rukia Kuchiki, a soul reaper. Soul reapers are death gods from the Soul Society that go to the world of the living in order to kill hollows, fallen souls, and to send wandering souls to the Soul Society. Rukia was there because she was notified that there was going to be a hollow there. The hollow appeared and Rukia was injured by it. In order to save their lives, Rukia transferred her soul reaper powers to Ichigo, who sucessfully killed the Hollow. Rukia, who was unable to get back her powers, stayed in the real world, in a gigai ( a human body for weaken soul reapers). She is eventually captured by her brother, a captain of the thirteen court guards to be tried for her crime of giving her powers to a human. Ichigo vowed to save her. He along with his friends, Chad, Orihime, and Uryu, intruded into the Soul Society to prevent them from executing Rukia. Later on, in the chaos of the Soul Society, everyone finds out that the mastermind of Rukia's execution of was Sousuke Aizen, another captain of the thirteen guards. He is revealed to be a traitor; he reveals of his plan of destroying the Soul Society. He was not alone though; Captains Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tousen were his allies. When they were surrounded by all the soul reapers, the sky opened and a special light used by the Menos Grande (a group of hollows) rescued them. They ascended into the sky into the opening. This animated story is still not over; the soul reapers continue to fight to save the Soul Society and the world.
