Bleach

Since the day I got internet service in Johor, I download all sort of Taiwan Drama I could find.

This few days, not much new Taiwan Drama coming up. So I switch to HongKong Drama (latest one).

Suddenly now, I have the urge to download Anime o.O;

It could be because of Gaia (my new online game).

In Gaia, I see lots of games using names like Ichigo, Kabuto, Naruto and etc.

Last night, I bought a gothicly beautiful pair of long stockings. Whoa... I really hope one day I can dress up in a cosplay.

The Anime that I have in mind to download is BLEACH. Actually Bleach is a manga series. This manga has been adapted into an animated television series, a rock musical, various video games and many more. If im not mistaken, Bleach is now producing its 30th Volume! Shyok eh?

According to Wikipedia, this manga has sold over 40,000,000 copies in Japan, and have reached the top of manga sales charts in the States. This manga also received the Shogakukan Manga Award in 2005 and the anime has been nominated for several American Anime Awards.

The story started of when Ichigo, a high school freshman, came across with a shinigami called Rukia. Shinigami is a soul reaper that has inner spiritual power, recruited from the ranks of the residents and nobility of Soul Society. Shinigami are just like other spirits, cannot be detected by normal humans.

Rukia appears in Ichigo's bedroom and she is surprised to find out that Ichigo has the ability to see her. Their conversation is interrupted by the appearance of a hollow (an evil spirit). While protecting Ichigo, Rukia is hurt. Therefore she intends to transfer half of her powers to Ichigi hoping he can face the hollow on equal footing. Ichigo unintentionally absorbs almost all her powers instead.

The following day, Rukia appears in Ichigo's classroom as a transfer student. Rukia is so human. This is because Ichigo had absorbed almost all her power and now she is stranded in the human world. Rukia transferred herself into a gigai while waiting to recover her abilities. During her recovery, Ichigo must take over her job as a shinigami to battle hollows and guide lost souls to the afterlife.
