13 Reasons that anyone should watch Bleach.
-----------------
One; The characters are effectively developed and each is interesting in their own way. They are also willing to stand up and fight for what matters to them.
Two; The storyline is intriguing. Some parts are tear-jerking, while others are comical. And it is all blended together in a fantastic way.
Three; The unity between the setting, story, characters, and script is phenomenal! Instead of being all different components that make up an anime, they are more like one single element. And it's not often when you see this done so well, over such a long period of time. (There's 13 seasons!)
Four; The series isn't just your plain old action anime, it delves into the more figurative and fantasy related world. (eg: The supernatural.) Along with key components of the plot, it works together to make something that really stands out from the other series of its kind.
Five; The soundtrack is wonderful. It works so well with the animation and storyline, as well as on it's own. I actually have a copy of some of the earlier stuff that I listen to during my free time. It really changes the mood of your day, and can take a relatively boring day, and make you feel like you're doing something with your life.
Six; Even though the series is full of action, at times when the action lapses, it has a really different approach. Allowing you to connect with some of the emotions the characters are noticing. (Okay, I know it's an anime, and it's not based on real events of any such sort, but still, they have real emotions about things that could potentially be happening on some scale to someone!)
Seven; Almost every fight in the show seemed so full of action and had an intense nature about it. But there was also some fights which made me laugh more than they made me sit at the edge of my seat in anticipation.
Eight; Oh the anticipation! Fights would happen, and just as things heated up, something new would pop up. They were able to seamlessly add things into the fray to make the episode even better!
Nine; The best parts of the series wasn't decided in just a single episode. They were able to draw things out in a perfect way, as not to make things too long and get boring, but not too short and have it over with to quickly. (The Arrancar Invasion arc was probably my favourite.)
Ten; I can't make this list without mentioning the battles that graced it. Fights were spectacular and brutal at the same time. Flawlessly molded into the storyline. Some anime just feel like they put in fights for the sake of putting in fights, but Bleach incorporated them very well. I don't know what more to say, as words just don't do them justice.
Eleven; After a large plot development in one direction, it would twist and head in another. Leaving you craving to see what will happen next! I can't even remember how many times I was stuck in frustration because the next episode wasn't availible yet. All I wanted to do was keep watching!
Twelve; The villains of the series were so well done. The creators made it so that not just the heroes despised them, but you as a watcher despised them as well. They were all such well rounded characters and developed so well. I couldn't have asked for anyone better.
Thirteen; The series was never old. As I watched they kept adding on and making it more interesting. It wasn't one of those animes where people have the same fight against the same people a hundred different times, things pursued through the arcs, and I really enjoyed all of it.
Thanks for all thirteen seasons Crunchyroll! Now if only it could really be done justice in just thirteen different things I liked.
