This anime series is great for those who like sword fighting (samurai) with a little magic here and there and lots of great characters.  One great aspect of the anime is that it is good enough for all ages to watch, broader fan base.  The series has been on long enogh that you really get into the characters, which there are a lot of them.  There  are enough characters with different characteristics for just about anyone to find a favorite or two (personal favorites Kenpachi Zaraki 11th squad, Byakuya Kuchiki 6th squad and Ichigo Kurosaki substitute shinigami).

The animation is amazing from attention to small details (body movemets and sword handling) to facial expressions (not over exaggerated).  The show has just enough time between fighting to get to know the characters but not too long as to get boring.  It is not like the calssic DragonBall Z Frieza series where a 5 minute fight takes 20 episodes to finish.  Don’t get me wrong, this show has a few episodes that could be discarded and not missed.

There few aspects of this anime that make it annoying at times.  With so many characters in the mix sometimes the show skips between characters too much at one time.  That’s about it for the bad comments.
