Finally, I
finished watching the Bleach series. Over the past month, it became my constant
companion. I religiously watched it every day whilst riding a roller coaster of
emotions—thrill and excitement for the battles and idea of finishing the
series, boredom and anxiety with how the flow sometimes feel slow and taking
oh-so tediously long (stalled), irritation with how some characters think and
act, and of course I also had to deal with my regular life—the stresses and
frustrations at work, at home, etcetera.
Bleach,
in my opinion, is a great series. It may mainly focus on how Ichigo goes to
battles to carry out his substitute shinigami duties and protect his family and
all that is dear to him, but it's not just all about force, brute and desire to
be stronger. It also shows admirable family bond and relationship, strong
and reliable friendship, dedication to one's duties and quests to conquering
fears and obtaining greater strengths to protect what needs to be protected.
It is
pretty inspiring to see how the characters strive to win and overcome obstacles
no matter how hopeless the situation may seem. They stumble and fall, but they
get back in their feet.
However,
it's not totally "foolproof".
