re: "Bleach" eps 1-10 (Japanese anime)
If you've read the Bleach manga, some parts of the anime are pretty disappointing. The first few episodes leave something to be desired, but there's something oddly appealing about the artistic style used and there are signs that the series will *probably* get better, though I've only seen eps 1-10 so far. I've got more on my queue and it should only be a matter of time before I see if the series gets any better.
Story: Ichigo has phenomenal spiritual power and is tapped to be a shinigami (Death God). From the manga, it's obvious the characters are a little... odd, and that definitely carries over to the anime, though definitely not to a Fooley Cooley extreme.
Art Style: reminiscent of Saiyuki
Slash Factor: maybe a 1. Very Shonen-Jump, not Hane to Yume. Probably gets a higher slash rating for a possible f/f pairing.
Score: 3 out of 5
Watchability: 3 out of 5
Will I Buy It: Yes. I'm a fool for mental torture.
