Hello, members of @TheAnimeRealm, this is your friend @sevenito. Today I want to talk about one of the pillars of the Shonen genre: Bleach. If you're new to this world or if you left it unfinished years ago, today I'm giving you the definitive reasons why this work by Tite Kubo should be on your watchlist.
The Premise: A Teenager with a Spiritual "Job"
The story follows Ichigo Kurosaki, a middle school student with the ability to see ghosts. His life changes drastically when he meets Rukia Kuchiki, a Shinigami (Soul Reaper), who transfers her powers to him to save her family from a Hollow. From there, Ichigo becomes embroiled in the political and spiritual conflicts of the Soul Society.
3 Reasons to Watch Bleach Today
- The Style and Aesthetics (Drip)
If anything defines Bleach, it's the style. Tite Kubo is a master of character design. From the captains' uniforms to the transformations, everything in Bleach exudes a cool elegance that few anime can match. The soundtrack, with touches of rock and Spanish music (for the Arrancar), is simply masterful.
- The Power System: The Zanpakutō
Forget simple swordplay. Each sword has a name, a personality, and two release stages:
Shikai: The initial form with special abilities.
Bankai: The final release that usually changes the environment or grants overwhelming power.
The thrill of hearing a character say "Bankai" for the first time is unparalleled.
- The Triumphant Return: Thousand-Year Blood War (TYBW)
After years of waiting, the final saga has been animated with cinematic quality. Studio Pierrot's current animation is, honestly, among the best of the decade. If you were worried about filler in the classic anime, the new season gets straight to the point with a raw intensity and stunning visual beauty.
A little tip: The Filler Guide
Like every great shonen from the "Big Three" era, Bleach has a considerable number of filler episodes. My recommendation for a smooth experience is to consult a filler guide and skip the arcs that aren't in the manga (like the Bount arc), so the narrative doesn't lose momentum.
Personal Opinion
For me, Bleach isn't just about fighting; it's a story about protection and identity. Watching Ichigo grow from a reactive boy to a warrior who embraces all his facets is a very satisfying journey.
Fun fact: Did you know that the Espada's design is heavily inspired by Spanish culture and language? From names like "Grimmjow Jaegerjack" to attacks like "Cero."
Conclusion
If you're looking for an anime with charismatic characters, epic battles, and some of the best art styles in the industry, give Bleach a try.

Hola, miembros de @TheAnimeRealm, les saluda su amigo @sevenito. Hoy quiero hablar de uno de los pilares del género Shonen: Bleach. Si eres nuevo en este mundo o si lo dejaste a medias hace años, hoy te doy las razones definitivas por las que esta obra de Tite Kubo debe estar en tu lista de seguimiento.
La Premisa: Un adolescente con un "trabajo" espiritual
La historia sigue a Ichigo Kurosaki, un estudiante de secundaria con la capacidad de ver fantasmas. Su vida cambia drásticamente cuando conoce a Rukia Kuchiki, una Shinigami (Segadora de Almas), quien le transfiere sus poderes para salvar a su familia de un Hollow. A partir de ahí, Ichigo se ve envuelto en los conflictos políticos y espirituales de la Sociedad de Almas.
3 Razones para ver Bleach hoy mismo
- El Estilo y la Estética (Drip)
Si algo define a Bleach es el estilo. Tite Kubo es un maestro del diseño de personajes. Desde los uniformes de los capitanes hasta las transformaciones, todo en Bleach emana una elegancia "cool" que pocos animes logran igualar. La banda sonora, con toques de rock y música española (para los Arrancar), es simplemente magistral.
- El Sistema de Poder: Las Zanpaku-tō
Olvídate de simples espadazos. Cada espada tiene un nombre, una personalidad y dos etapas de liberación:
Shikai: La forma inicial con habilidades especiales.
Bankai: La liberación final que suele cambiar el entorno o otorgar un poder abrumador.
La emoción de escuchar a un personaje decir "Bankai" por primera vez es inigualable.
- El regreso triunfal: Thousand-Year Blood War (TYBW)
Tras años de espera, la saga final ha sido animada con una calidad cinematográfica. La animación actual de Studio Pierrot es, honestamente, de las mejores de la década. Si te preocupaba el relleno del anime clásico, la nueva temporada va directo al grano con una crudeza y belleza visual impactante.
Un pequeño consejo: La Guía de Relleno
Como todo gran Shonen de la época de los "Big Three", Bleach tiene una cantidad considerable de episodios de relleno. Mi recomendación para una experiencia fluida es consultar una guía de relleno y saltar los arcos que no pertenecen al manga (como el arco de los Bount), para que la narrativa no pierda ritmo.
Opinión Personal
Para mí, Bleach no es solo peleas; es una historia sobre la protección y la identidad. Ver el crecimiento de Ichigo, de ser un chico reactivo a un guerrero que acepta todas sus facetas, es un viaje muy satisfactorio.
Dato curioso: ¿Sabías que el diseño de los Espada está fuertemente inspirado en la cultura y el idioma español? Desde nombres como "Grimmjow Jaggerjack" hasta ataques como "Cero".
Conclusión
Si buscas un anime con personajes carismáticos, batallas épicas y una de las mejores estéticas de la industria, dale una oportunidad a Bleach.
Puntuación : 9/10.
