Bleach

Completed Bleach and I am so hyped it's coming back I decided to write a review on it just for fun. I'll be rating it out of 10 on Plot, Characters, Art, and overall. (10 is S tier, 9 is A tier, 8 and 7 is B tier, 6 5 4 are C tier, 3 2 1 are D tier) Sorry if I'm not the most eloquent in this review, again, I'm just doing this for fun so don't expect it to be this incredible analysis.

Also, remember 10/10 does not mean perfect, it just means "S tier"
PLOT:
Bleach follows the story of a teenager (not sure of the exact age) Ichigo Kurosaki who is dragged into the world of soul reapers when he meets Rukia Kuchiki. What I like about this plot is how the main character at first doesn't seem to be a "chosen one" (but he kind of is tho) as he's dragged into this without having any say in it. However him choosing to take up the soul reaper mantle to protect those he cares about is something I liked. I really like how the arcs are structured, and it's really hype to see the cool character moments and the badass fights. The world is also really cool along with the power system, I think Zanpakuto are really cool as a power system and the whole Soul Society-Hueco Mundo-Quincy Castle-Living World thingo is a really interesting world. All the plot twists in the arcs, especially Arrancar, TYBW and the end of Soul Society are all done incredibly well and give the reader a reason to continue. However it does have it's short comings, like the repetitive structure of all the arcs. Overall, I would rate the plot an 8/10 (High B tier).

CHARACTERS:
This, in my opinion, is the strongest quality of Bleach. It has some of the coolest characters I have ever seen in anime and manga. Ichigo as a protagonist is not well liked for some reason, but I love his attitude and his simple reason for doing what he does, compared to the grandiose reasons of most other protagonists. He just doesn't want to lose what he has and so wants to protect those close to him. However, out of the 4 main characters, I think Orihime and Chad are quite underused when compared to Ichigo and Uryu, with the latter having a great development imo. The antagonists of Bleach are also standout, with Aizen being my 2nd favorite character in the series, Ulqiorra being my 3rd favorite, and the other antagonists like Yhwach are also really cool. The female characters in Bleach, especially Yoruichi and Rangiku, are also really well done imo. My absolute favorite character in the series is Kenpachi Zaraki. I love his design, his demeanor and I can't explain my reasons more I think, he's just such a badass chad with some of the coolest moments in the series. Bleach also boasts a lot of other amazing characters like Urahara, Gin and many more. Overall, I would rate the characters in Bleach a 10/10 (S tier).

ART:
This is another incredible strong suit of Bleach. The artwork is incredible. The aesthetic of Bleach imo is really really cool to see. The fights are drawn really really well, and it has some of the coolest character designs in anime/manga, like the designs for Kenpachi, Aizen, Grimmjow, and the Hollow Ichigo designs, especially his Vasto Lorde form. The artstyle of Bleach is just badass. However, my one gripe with is that most of the time, there are no backgrounds. When the backgrounds are in the spotlight, like the "Mugetsu" panel, they look really cool, however in most other instances, the panel is just white other than the characters. However, I do think that's a cool contrast and brings more attention to the characters, and I understand that Kubo had health issues while drawing the manga so he couldn't do his best. Overall, I would rate the art of Bleach a 9/10(A tier).

Bleach is a very well done shonen that deserves it's position as one of the "Big 3". Even though I think it's the worst among the Big 3, that is by no means a detriment as it stands head and shoulders above most other shonen. The plot isn't the best, but it's a really fun plot to read through, and the highlight of the series are the cool characters, and I guarantee that there will be at least one character from Bleach that you will love. Overall, I would give the series my final rating of:
9/10 (A TIER)
It may have it's shortcomings, but there is no denying that this is one of the most iconic manga, and it very much deserves its position in the Big 3. Hopefully, the anime is going to return with a bang, and the new arc is going to be incredible.
