Buso Renkin

SummaryThe story begins when high school student Kazuki Muto is killed one night saving a mysterious girl from a monster, only to wake up in his school dorm, believing it to have been a dream. However, he soon finds out that dream wasn't a dream at all when a giant serpentine monster attacks him and his sister. Tokiko Tsumura , the girl he saved, explains that the monster is a homunculus. Kazuki had been attacked and killed by it when rescuing Tokiko. However she, feeling responsible for him, revived him by placing a Kakugane medallion in his chest, serving as a replacement heart. From this he is able to make a weapon from the 
 Kakugane in his chest which takes the form of a lance. As the story evolves so do the characters becoming stronger and more emotionally connected with you.

Good PointsThe anime gets you very involved but the main enemy turns into an allie whilst the whole world is turning around. The character learns to use his lance efficiently as the anime progresses and eventually changes its form. The characters evolve whilst fighting and adapt their styles to the other person. Each weapon is unique to that person thinking what would his be when you meet a new character. 

Bad Points
The anime is very short and if you prefer to watch the dubbed versions dont bother the voice acting is terrible. Whilst the story traps you and keeps you watching... you get a feeling it starts to become a bit repetitive and holds no values to what it did at the start.

Sum Up
The anime buso renkin is defiantly worth watching for it  does portray important lessons and morels. Each character is there most of the times... whilst even the bad guys have the each and own personal looks even the grunts. This is a anime worth watching just to say you've watched it!

Gilt ridden and filled with rage Ichigo finds a way into soul society which is where he is confronted by various enemies who he has to over come in order to save her.

About The Style

The anime bleach is a heavy based anime which involves the characters, good or evil powering up to defeat one and other. When kinks pop up the character usually has to under go some sort of transformation and emotional journey. The animations progress and become more advanced as the anime progresses showing that it becomes more and more successful. There is an unusual representation of good and evil as evil is typically represented by blue whilst the protagonist is red.
The Good Bits
All the way through bleach you get a feel with each and every different character you meet, such as when the make a connection or when someone is betrayed. You feel like the characters become more and more deep and

meaningful. Whilst sometimes the bad guy turns out to be an ally or vice-versa the viewer knows each and every member of the anime for there personal and unique style and blade they carry. The art of the anime is amazing it involves typically a dark setting and a dragon ball z style power up feel. As the main protagonist progresses and gets stronger more and more things change about him and the way people act around him showing that maybe changing isn't for the better. 

The Bad Bits
The bad bits about Bleach is that there is constant fillers all the way through the anime. Some fillers will take an entire 15 episodes or just 1 but from time to time it does become a pain and just makes you want to punch your computer screen. Also the anime has now been cancelled after about 400 episodes they caught up to the manga too fast which irritated a lot of the viewers. The manga is stilll on going but the whole production of bleach on anime has been cancelled
