Bleach

Kenpachi could probably kill Chuck Norris and he hasn't even released his bankai yet.

Also, Gin and Toshiro are on this show.

Reason enough.

Great Characters, Great storylines, intense action. An excellent Anime, highly recommended.

This is the most amazing show ever. It's made me laugh, cry, and kept me at the edge of my seat. It will always hold a special place in my heart.

Bleach is Naruto's greatest rival today when it comes to popularity. Whenever you find some Naruto download site, most likely, they also have Bleach download stuff. We can't say for sure if it's more popular compared to it's rival or less popular. Based on my observation, I'd say less popular. Then you might be asking why is this one notch ahead of Naruto. Well, I've seen both series and I like Bleach a lot better. My "Anime friend" told me (when I asked him for some recommendations) that he likes strong and prominent main characters, then I came to realize that I feel the same way. And probably that's the reason why I like Bleach better than Naruto. The strong main character in the series is Kurosaki Ichigo. He's got a team behind him but he's the one who takes care of the strongest villian. Unlike Uzumaki Naruto who is at times (or should I say, often) over-taken by Uchiha Sasuke. Also, when it comes to the story, I find Bleach a bit more exciting. Naruto and Bleach are most likely the two most popular anime today, and this two gave more life to anime fandom in this generation. But since I prefer Bleach over Naruto, I put it at number nine!

Dragon ball Z is considered the greatest action show but really its the same ritual over and over. Either there out looking for the dragon balls or some enemy shows up that wants to kill Goku and someone someone goes to a new super sayian level. Then the next enemy just happens to be stronger than anyone. Actually I loved the show as a kid because it was easy to follow. Then I got older and I needed a show that was a little less childish. So I started watching Bleach and I loved it. One thing I love about Bleach is all the characters are different, physically and their powers. While DBZ has everyone going super sayian, in Bleach everyone has their own zanpakuto. This makes the show a lot more diverse. What I'm trying to say is a soul reapers bankai will beat giant glowing hair any day.

This show is not only my favorite anime, but one of my favorite shows period. I have been watching it for at least 5 years and I have never lost interest! This is the only show I know who has that many characters, and continually add to them, and you know who everyone is as well as their background and powers. Great underlying story, amazing powers and fighting scenes, and above all a very lovable and enjoyable main protagonist whos not whimpy, or naive, or whiny, or loud and annoying. He is a level headed person who cares for those around him. Great great show. Highly recommended. Must watch more than just a few episodes to truly start getting what it's about.

When I see it first it was it 3rd last episode it was very cool then I started see the full season one and 2 it was very cool and all of us see it together then I started recoding the song and my friend thing it was cool and we all started see it and it became popular among all of us and now we all love it. It is amazing and it should be number 1 animation all over worldts funny, emotional, Supernatural, Actions and great story lines. Characters as awesome as well. You can actually enjoy every character there, with their pride, background and their abilities. IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS SHOW, I SUGGEST THAT YOU GO LOOK FOR IT NOW NOW... Great storylines, intense action. An excellent Anime, highly recommended.

It Has everything. First most of us believe in ghost, spirits and others. This anime explains every thing, the shinigamis, how they help souls to pass through, hollows, the reason why we can't see ghost! It's all believable, It also has epic Fights. The storyline is cool. The Characters are just off the chart. Kenpachi's Mad hunger for battle, Kurosaki Ichigo's epic powers unleashed from time to time. Rukia always being there for Ichigo, Toushiro Hitsugaya who is a kid and attained Bankai, Byakuya who has his Pride. They all are EPIC!
So, Reason enough, this anime should deserve a better place than 5th one!

This is the best show, it should be at the top of the list. It got the whole package. Its funny, emotional, Supernatural, Actions and great story lines. Characters as awesome as well. You can actually enjoy every character there, with their pride, background and their abilities. IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS SHOW, I SUGGEST THAT YOU GO LOOK FOR IT NOW NOW...

The only word I can use to describe this show is simply 'amazing'.
You are instantly drawn to the characters, eg. Ichigo <3, who all have their own stories to tell and their own wars to fight. It's about undying friendship, family and sometimes just blind kindness, devotion and love. It will make you laugh and cry; it will lift you up and put you down- still it will never be dull. You could learn a thing or two from this show <3 Two thumbs up.

Watching this show brings back so many memories. It has so many epic moments and I love the characters. I am so attached to this show I still have to watch it every now and then because I get withdrawals laugh out loud.

The story line is epic, they have hot characters, funny moments in the first arc and then you can watch great amvs afterwards. I mean there is so much to love about bleach but a lot of people give up on it early on because the animation is kind of bad.. But really the vibe in the beginning is amazing and I love going back to it.

It's all about Shunsui Kyoraku. He is the most easy going character of all time. He essentially makes this anime. Well along with Mayuri of course and lets not forget the greatest character of all time Kisuke Urahara who is as charming as he is mysterious. A flash of light in a house? Oops, all dead... Well done Urahara. And lets not forget Kenpachi, Yoruichi, Toshiro, Jushiro, and Soifon... All amazingly written characters and all uniquely powerful. Top notch story and characters. Love this one!

Wonderful series! Wish I could vote for positions (e.G. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc). There are so many wonderful series, such as Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. PLUS opinions change over time, such as Fullmetal Alchemist (the original English version) versus Brotherhood. FMA would rank very high in my book until FMAB came along. Being able to update would cool, too. The ranking is more important, though, in my humble opinion.

As for Bleach, what can I say 366 episodes and they're all great (even the filler, the non-filler is outstanding).

Naruto is a bad show and One Piece and Dragonball are unbelievable bad in anime form. The fights dosen't flow the least and it's all around really disapointing. One Piece is disapointing because the manga captures so many details and is really welldrawn, whereas the anime is below average in animation. Bleach however, manages to capture the fights in an amazing way and have a great voice acting in comparision to others.

Bleach should be amongst the top 3, if not number 1, purely because of the story and characters, the sacrifices and commitment one should show to their family and friends, to stand by each other no matter what. That something great about it. And great actions and terrific music makes it only better. One of the best.!

This is simply the best anime/manga (even though I prefer the manga), it outsteps the current popular or trending manga/anime each for a different reason, but the best thing that makes this anime pawn other anime is because of the awesome characters, every single character in Bleach even the new ones introduced are awesome and well loved, most are so hot they make me want to squeal, all are stronger than other anime characters, so I vote for Bleach. KUCHIKI BYAKUYA-SAMA for the win!

Don't underestimate this storyline. It has all the makings (Action, Adventure, Comedy, Romance, Suspense, In depth character backgrounds, etc. ) to become an instant classic. Notably has influences from other animes/mangas plus books and movies but the author, Tite Kubo, mixes it so well with original ideas that it just keeps making you come back for more. A recommendation for both first time and fan of anime/manga!

BEST ANIMEEVER! CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IS THE BEST, NARUTO SUCKS BEFORE THIS! Naruto is childish sasuke sucks big time and sakura is useless more than ever she cannot do anything. Even after saving her from gaara she didn't even said thanks to naruto. BUT I have to admit, rock lee is the greatest chracter ever!

I've watched many anime series and TO ME this is the greatest anime, the rich story, the characters, the emotion in every episode make this the complete anime series I have been looking for, the only downside for me is the spin offs buut skipping the episodes worked for me laugh out loud

Bleach is absolutly the best anime ever! Its something that can really touch our hearts and can give as some good morals, especially from ichigo, who fight and every time get stronger for others without becoming arrogant. Good story, innovated and unique one, great characters I wich if they can do more episodes :(

Why bleach should be first :
-Epic characters ( uluquiorra, rukia, kenpachi, toshiro, and ichigo sure... )
_Most epic vilain : Aizen (like freezer)
-Most epic musics : stand up be strong, invasion, nothing could be explain...
_Amazing story line, pretty drawing and animation, good humour...

Bleach is amazing. Ichigo the main protagonist is a great hero. He keeps getting stronger and stronger and doesn't complain about his opponents being stronger than him. From the very start Ichigo got his powers because he wanted to protect the people he loved which is truly awe inspiring.

I think they should extend the anime series it stops at ep 366 but the manga still going and its going better and better only they should show us kenpachi and other characters like kyoraku, ukitake, urahara, and rukia who achieve their bankai and I think this anime is the best ever they should extend it, for good fans like me you should read the manga its cool

I never thought I would like bleach so much. The first time I read the summary on Wikipedia, it led me to the first episode on bleach last year. I'm going on to my twenties soon, by the way. I loved it so much! The story plot is just amazing and in one day I could watch a dozen episodes of it. I managed to finish the whole series during my summer holidays. If I could marry Kubo, I would.

I think that Bleach is one of the best anime out there today. It definitely is as action packed as DBZ if not a little more. It should be at least be number two under DBZ of course. And a definite fix for when they stopped the DBZ series. But what will take over for Bleach? , maybe Sekirei?
