The series adapts Kubo's manga with the main story arcs and introduces anime exclusive ones. In Karakura Town, high school studentIchigo Kurosakibecomes a substitute Soul Reaper(Tử thần,Shinigami,literally, "Death God"),whenRukia Kuchikirisks her life to protect him from aHollowwho attacks Ichigo's twin younger sisters. Although initially reluctant to accept his responsibility, he takes her place, and during this time they discover that a few classmates are spiritually aware and have their own powers: Quincy survivorUryū Ishidauses spiritual particles,Orihime Inouehas a group of protective spirits calledShun Shun RikkaandYasutora Sado( "Chad" ) has strength equal to the Hollows encased in his arm.

When Rukia is sentenced to death for transgressions in the human world and sent to the Soul Society, Ichigo meetsKisuke UraharaandYoruichi Shihōin,the duo of exiled Soul Reapers. They allow him and his friends to save Rukia. After this, it is revealed that ex-squad captainSōsuke Aizenframed Rukia for the crime and has been illegally experimenting on Soul Reapers and Hollows. Aizen plans to conquer the Soul Society by using the Hōgyoku, a legendary powerful substance turning Hollows into half Soul Reapers. After faking his death and his reappearance caused a fight with some people, Aizen escapes into Hueco Mundo, the realm of Hollows, and later kidnaps Orihime as she is instrumental in creating the Oken, a power that will allow him to kill the Soul King, the ruler of the Soul Society.

After being trained by theVizards,other exiled Soul Reapers and the victims of Aizen's experiment, Ichigo and his friends travel into Hueco Mundo. Facing a group ofArrancars,who are Hollows given Soul Reaper abilities, led by an elite group known as theEspadas,which are composed of ten Arrancars with exemplary strength. Espadas serve as commanders in Aizen's army and each has the factions of weaker Arrancars. Along with Aizen,Gin IchimaruandKaname Tōsen,the Espada as a group possess comparable strength to Soul Reaper captains. After rescuing Orihime, Aizen reveals her kidnapping was a distraction to allow him to take Karakura Town, as its spiritual energy is what is needed for the Oken. After being trained by his fatherIsshin,another exiled Soul Reaper, Ichigo sacrifices his power to seal Aizen away when the Hōgyoku rejects its master, and the Soul Reapers defeat the Espadas.

Months later, Chad and the members reveal themselves as Fullbringers in a group called Xcution. They can give up their powers to restore other ones and they plan on doing so for Ichigo, who uses the power of Fullbringer. However, it is all a ruse by their leader Kugo Ginjo, a Fullbringer and former Substitute Soul Reaper, to extract his powers and empower all of them. Ichigo has his Soul Reaper powers restored, when he gains his trust from the Soul Society. After helping other Soul Reapers defeat Ginjo's team, Ichigo resumes his duty as an official Substitute Soul Reaper.

Several anime exclusive story arcs are introduced during the series. The first arc focuses on the Bount, a group of spiritual humans who are immortal longer by stealing souls. Their leader, Jin Kariya, seeks to destroy the Soul Society in revenge. However, Ichigo and his allies defeat them. The second arc focuses on Shūsuke Amagai, a Soul Reaper captain replacing Ichimaru. Amagai seeks revenge against Captain Yamamoto for the death of his father and uses the clan's forbidden experiment. However, Amagai realizes his mistake and kills himself. The third arc features the evil Zanpakutō spirit Muramasa, who turns itself and other ones into spiritual beings to take revenge on the Soul Society for imprisoning its master Kōga Kuchiki. After succeeding, he is double-crossed and transforms into a monstrous creature that Ichigo defeats, but after Muramasa reveals the intention was to have Soul Reapers and Zanpakutō communicate on equal terms. The fourth and final arc features an event in which Kagerōza Inaba creates modified copies of all Soul Reapers in Reigai bodies. He attempts to fuse with Nozomi Kujō into an original being Ōko Yushima. However, Nozomi sacrifices herself to defeat Inaba and Ichigo loses his power.

Casting

edit

Japanese

edit

Ichigo's voice actor,Masakazu Morita,tried to re-create the mood that he felt when he read the manga and imagined hearing the dialogue. In an interview with Elicia O'Reilly of the Japan Foundation, Morita said that to get into character, he would say a line that epitomizes that character.[3]

English

edit

Studio City, Los Angeles-basedStudiopoliswas hired to dub the anime. The English-language cast was assembled from experienced industry actors that have dozens of roles in other anime series, films and video games. Originally,Johnny Yong Bosch,Ichigo's English voice actor, found pronouncing the names of the characters to be difficult and tried to emulate the deep gruff voice of Ichigo.[4]Bosch acknowledges that the directorial control was loosened as the work progressed; stating around episode 10, as he was guided into the role of Ichigo and the growth of the character.[4]Bosch noted that the long scenes of screaming and panting—in particular, the scene in episode 18—have nearly made him pass out.[4]Stephanie Shehnoticed the difference in the tone of her Orihime voice in the English adaptation and described it as being higher-pitched and "innocent-sounding".[4]The English dub producers wanted to make Orihime sound tough and comedic, but not "ditzy". She relates to her character's unusual creations for food.[4]Derek Stephen Princelikes to play Uryu because he is theblack sheepof the cast and he is a complex character.[4]Throughout the production, Prince acknowledges his role as the English voice actor of Shino Aburame fromNarutoand sets them apart by taking aClint Eastwoodtone for Uryu.[4]

For the voicework, one of the challenges was stating Japanese phrases while maintaining pronunciation and inflection.[4]The duality of the story was hard to keep up with, and the cast had to juggle the challenges of performing under the different lifestyles of the characters.[4]The voice actors often made suggestions for the scenes that differ from the approved script and results in rewriting and additional takes that were put into the dub.[4]

Production

edit

Noriyuki Abe was chosen as director of the series whileMasashi Sogo[ja]acted as head writer for episodes 1–212. Tsuyoshi Kida was the head writer for episodes 230–265.

During the production and broadcast of the first 167 episodes, the screen size was in 4:3; episodes 168 through 366 were produced and broadcast in 16:9 widescreen.

In a 2009 interview, Kubo and Kudō discussed the original story for the anime adaptation,Zanpakutō: The Alternate Tale,with Kubo expressing that he desired to borrow events and concepts within it for the manga. Kubo also revealed that his art style varied in the production of the work and only became cemented after the airing of the anime. He acknowledged that his art style has changed as a result of his work and gave an example that he no longer draws hair growing from behind the ears of characters.[5]

Critical response

edit

Anime News Network's Carlo Santos praised the anime adaptation, describing it as "...one incredibly entertaining anime that will grab you and refuse to let go."[100]Animefringe's Maria Lin liked the varied and distinct characters, and how well they handle the responsibilities increasing powers give them. She also complimented the series for its attention to details, well paced script, and balance of seriousness and comedy. In summary, she notes "Bleachthe anime deserves its popularity. It has something for everyone: the supernatural, comedy, action and a little bit of romance, all tied together with excellent animation and a very enthusiastic sounding bunch of voice actors. "[101]Adam Arseneau of DVD Verdict, feltBleachwas a "show that only gets better with age" and was "surprisingly well-rounded and appealing" with well-developed characters and pacing.[102]

Active Anime's Holly Ellingwood praising the anime for perfectly capturing "the excitement, the caustic humour and supernatural intrigue" of the original manga.[103]She felt that the series "does a wonderful job of building on its continuity to provide increasingly tense and layered episodes involving not only Ichigo and Rukia, but the secondary characters as well".[104]She also praised the series for its striking visual effects, intriguing plot and its "brilliant blend of action, off the wall comedy."[105][106]In reviewing the series forDVD Talk,Don Houston felt the characters surpassed the usual anime typicals and liked "the mixture of darker material with the comedic".[107]Another fellow reviewer John Sinnott felt series starts out as a boring "monster-of-the-week program" that becomes more epic as the stories build and the characters are fleshed out.[108]

Otaku USA's Joseph Luster wrote that "the storylines are consistently dramatic without hammering it home too heavily, the characters manage comic relief that's not as eye rolling as one would expect, and the action (in classic fighting series form) has only gotten more ridiculous over the years; in a good way, of course".[109]Mania.com's Chris Beveridge describes the series as "Bleachis a solid entry into theShōnen Jumpline up, this is a very easy recommendation to make if you're looking for something in this genre ".[110]Bryce Coulter from the same website praised the series for its plot twists and "the quirky and amusing characters".[111][112]

Von Feigenblatt notes that "in terms of demographics,Bleachappeals to a narrower international audience thanNarutodue to the higher complexity of its plot as well as due to the religious aspects of the story. "[113]Louis Kemner ofCBRsaid that the anime has "one of the most interesting and flexible combat systems" in anime and says this makes for some "stunning action scenes."[114]Kemner also said that the series had "a wide and colorful cast of characters."[115]
