Whether it’s being in the top 40 videos on YouTube, or cranking up big sales numbers in the USA, Bleach is a very special manga/anime. It has the spiritual elements of Inuyasha in a more modern setting. The snappy dialog appeals to many different demographics and age groups. It’s an IP that can be enjoyed on many different levels by who ever is watching it. Everyone gets something different from Bleach. To celebrate the two Bleach titles coming to Europe and it’s continued success here in the US on Adult Swim, I put together this ‘Big Bleach Bonanza’ for fellow Bleach fans to enjoy. Videos, photos and links behind the cut. My favorite is Episode 16, the infamous lesbian scene. I don’t think it is - see for yourself.

With the enormous cast of characters everyone can identify with someone on Bleach. My favorite character is Rangiku Matsumoto. She is sensitive, strong and a very warm character. It’s difficult to think of Rangiku as a spirit who is all ready dead, because she is so full of life. Who can forget one of the most touching scenes in Bleach when Rangiku comforts Inoue after a bath. The lightly erotic subtext is left to the imagination and is tastefully done, as you see in this video.

Fan art of Bleach is enormously popular. There is tons of it online one place to browse through talented artists is in deviantart.com Where you can even join a newly formed Matsumoto Club.
