One of my favourite Anime!

Well well....In my previous post I mentioned Bleach. Once again that raises a question "What is Bleach". Well looking at the topic it's not that hard to guess, yes it's an anime.What is it about? That is the soul purpose of this post. Here goes... First a wee bit history on the manga-ka(the artist).The mastermind behind the making of bleach is Tite Kubo whose original name is Noriaki Kubo.He designed bleach along with a couple of other manga. He first presented it to shonen jump(imagine a big manga with lots of different manga strips in it) who rejected it because it was similiar to Yu Yu Hakusho(another anime). The great Akira Toriyama(DBZ creator and who is apparently drowning in money) sent him a letter of motivation and inspiration. This made Tite Kubo try even harder and finally Shonen Jump serialized Bleach which has now become a very popular anime/manga series rivalling Naruto(another anime).Bleach is about Kurosaki Ichigo, a fifteen year old high schooler who lives in the town of Karakura.The thing is he can see ghosts and can talk to them. Soon enough he meets Kuchiki Rukia a Shinigami(death god).He becomes a substitute death god(with a huge Zankaputou-soul slayer) and soon enough the leaking high spirit power gets transfered to his friends to then possess powers. They embark on thrilling adventures and... well its hard to explain because alot happens.I wish I could show you because it rocks and that my description just sucks doesnt it(sounds so childish!).

What is ANIME?


Hello..I'm Raafay and after reading the topic you're probably wondering What the heck is ANIME?(pronounced-Aneemae).Well thats what I'm here for, Anime is Japanese Animation(in other words cartoons but please don't call it that!).There are plenty of anime in this wild world some we are already watching like Dragonball Z,Beyblade,Pokemon.Yes these are anime but the anime I watch are a little more mature than beyblade and pokemon for example Bleach,Naruto..I could go on.There are very few people in our school(i.e. Beaconhouse-Middle branch) apart from me(Raafay) that know about anime.Anime is usually based on it's previous graphic novel(comics...dont call it that either)form called Manga.If you're wondering what manga is I just told you, and its usually in black and white.
