BLEACH
















My current craze is watching the Bleach anime series. I am so psyched to have discovered this amazing anime. It has a really cool perspective on Soul Reapers (or Grim Reapers). In this anime, they are known as Shinigami and each of them possess their own Zanpakutou (literally means Soul-cutting sword) which they use to send good spirits (Pluses) and dispel bad spirits (Hollows).

The story follows a high-school boy names Ichigo Kurosaki who was unwillingly turned into a substitute Shinigami, how he manages to juggle between protecting his identity from his friends and at the same time protecting the people he cares from Hollows and other baddies. It is so interesting to see how his character grows to adapt to the changes. Also, you'll get to find out more about his friends and rivals alike. Among my favourite characters are Ichigo, Rukia, Kon, Nel, Inoue, Ishida, Chad, Byakuya, Toushirou, Renji and many more. I enjoy watching Kon and Nel, they are both so entertaining and adorable!! Nel is so annoyingly cute!!! I'm not gonna tell you any spoilers so if I have managed to perk your interest, check Bleach out on any of those video communities. You can find those with the original Japanese voices and also the English dubbed version.

when i am listening to the english dub version of Bleach, i some times wish i can understand japanese. yes, me, as a blind people watching anime. well why not? the story is cool. some of my friend told me, japanese voice over is good, and now i agree with it. the voice are so real as if they are the one who act in the series. the english voice over is not bad as well, but some how, some of the centence feels abit wierd because of the translation. even listening to the japanese voice over, i can kind of picture how cute and how funny they are.

Ha Ha Ha! Agreed totally! Japanese voice actors/actresses are really so good! I especially like Nel's voice-over. So annoyingly entertaining like I said. And guess what? The actual person voicing her is 35 years old and apparently she can speak in such a high pitch that it can go beyond human hearing. Cool huh? So meaning only dogs can hear her lar. Ha Ha Ha! If you have the chance, you should listen to Nel sing. So darn hilarious!!
