Rukia went down a lot easier than I expected.

The op and ed are good. However, I hate the lame cliched introduction to the hero of this anime. Bleach hero becomes a soul reaper? Saw that coming from a mile away. Also his spirit powers are exaggerated. It is like he became a new version of DBZ. I would rather prefer Issei from High school dxd than this.

The shinigami looks like a trap/reverse trap. I wonder which one it is. And the MC is a huge jerk. Beating up the skaters just because they knocked the vase on the street over. Keep the flowers at the ghost's grave you AHO. Maybe that's why her spirit hasn't departed yet.

Don't get me started with the animation. It sucks big time for a long running series. The shingami's drawing book looked better than the art for this episode.

If this cliche anime continues to persist for the next episode, I might as well drop this. There is no use in watching this at all.

Wonder why a professional shinigami couldn't defeat a demon but an amateur MC can just do it like he has completed potty training.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Hmm, back when I first watched this as a kid, it was the best thing ever. Now that I'm older, it's your stereotypical initiation into a new manga/anime, where the MC is so strong that everyone and their moms are shook, and they somehow get powers within the first episode.

I mean, overall, it was a decent episode. Looking at the animation now vs. back in like 2008, it definitely lacked in quality, but what can you expect lol I just hope I'm not wasting my time trying to rewatch the show

Welp, let's start this, I don't know if I will go through the whole thing (I have heard about all the filler arcs), but I hope I can watch at least the first 109 dubbed episodes here on Netflix, we will see later.

Tried Bleach already over 10 years ago. Back then the series didn't catch me and wasn't my cup of tea compared to One Piece or Naruto. I dunno exactly why, but as a child I perceived it as an half-assed attempt at trying to be dark and with stuff like Berserk it didn't seem as intriguing. And neither did I dig the plain character designs nor was the setting appealing in my eyes.

Now pushed by friends I'm up for another try and weirdly enough, I enjoyed it a lot more. I guess the fact that I have experienced the whole spectrum of anime comes into effect and I'm able to appreciate a good old shounen story more than before when I had super high standards due to being spoiled by only the "best stuff".

Like OST and the vibe so far. Ichigo also seems like a brave, determined and hard boiled guy, which is neat. From what I've seen in openings there are tons of characters and I'm looking forward to get to know them.

So yeah, nice start and here's hoping for a fun journey.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Wow this anime's been way too long on my list so i decided to go through if i'll have to multitask due to how long this show is.

1st episode's alright, , the opening is good, the OST is beautiful.
Ichigo seems to have this exaggerated heroic personality though sometimes he appears to be uncaring.

I decided to start watching this anime but after the first episode I'm not quite sure how I feel about it, I wouldn't say it's good but it's not dreadful either. Although the character designs are quite neat I still don't like the idea that Ichigo is so OP from the get go with this "unknown power". I'll have to continue watching and see if my opinion changes.

Finally deciding to rip off the bandaid and start this monster of an anime. I've been putting this off for so long, so it's about time.
This episode was great. My first impressions:
Op is great, ed is good but skippable
Ichigo looks really cool, I'm a fan of the guts sword
Every frame with rukia was perfect. I already love her so much. Her VA reminds me of kyubei's VA from gintama which gives me all the more reason to love her.
Animation is dated but not bad

This show gets a lot of flak because of the filler I'm assuming but I will be skipping that. Really hope I can stick with this to the end because if so it will be my 2nd longest completion (203 eps minus filler)

basically i wanted to start rewatching before the new continuation series began, but i have free time in vacation and couldn't resist.
as like every shounen anime many question at first and introduction of the new MC, ichigo x rukia are great.

Have been wanting to start bleach a long time now but after the trailer for the 1000 year blood war arc I decided to start the anime and just finished episode (of course am gonna skip fillers and watch canon episodes only)

Episode 1 was amazing. Ichigo’s family is a weird one and wasn’t expecting it to lmao. The concepts of ghost, hollows and soul reapers is a really cool one. My first impressions of rukia were also interesting because I’ve known about characters like rukia, aizen and yhawch for a long time and when it came to rukia saying she wasn’t human like ichigo and said she was way much older than him caught me by surprise because I always thought she was around Ichigo’s age and that she became a soul reaper the same way ichigo did. Overall liking the show so far and that early 2000s feel always has a special place for me. 10/10 introduction.

Most of the episodes are fillers that you can skip. You can just search on Google: "which bleach episodes should I watch in order."

This was such a massive nostalgia rush. I'm rewatching this for the first time since 2007. Bleach was my all time favorite anime back then. While this first episode hasn't aged particularly well, I have to say I'm excited to be kicking this journey off through the anime that defined my high school years.
