Book One: compelling characters, interesting world, engaging plot. Book Two starts almost as good as Book One...and then it falls off. Three characters die in the last two episodes that were unnecessary deaths except for characters' development because apparently death is the only way now to develop characters (its not btw). New big villains are introduced which doesn't make sense b/c NONE of the old ones have been taken care of. Also there's a war and neither side are worthy of being rooted for so it's uninteresting. Not gonna bother with Season 3 cuz it seems just as bad from what I've read.

10 years of waiting and the first episode is already setting the right tone for what's to come. Obviously it's an anime episode so it's not that long, but it already has one death, fighting that show off the amazing new animation, and it introduces the enemy group immediately. While it is very manga accurate, there are a few small scenes from the manga that it didn't show, but those could be saved for later episodes where they might fit better. They did what they needed to do, and looked brilliant the entire time. Highly recommend. 10 year wait so 10/10 seems pretty poetic. Oh, and the end credits showing past Bleach scenes was a great touch.
