Bleach is a Japanese fantasy action thriller anime series based on the manga series of the same name written by Tite Kubo. The show was directed by Noriyuki Abe and produced by Ken Hagino, who worked together to create an awesome TV Tokyo hit with 366 episodes in 16 seasons that spanned from 2004-2012. Bleach anime series follows Ichigo Kurosaki as he learns about his family heritage, his mysterious power, as well as becoming involved in spirits’ battles against evil forces which threaten harm not only to humans but also to otherworldly beings themselves. Later, it was declared that the series would also get an anime adaptation from the final story of its manga.
But The series also includes fresh and original storylines which are not present in any other medium! These filler episodes and filler arcs do not necessarily affect the outcome of the storytelling but add more flavor to the anime canon.
