Summary: Jumpin head first into the Soul Society
Comment: After completing their training and leaving the real world. Yoruichi leads Ichigo, Chad, Orihime, Uryu into the world of the Soul Society. Their goal is to rescue Rukia before she's executed.
Comedy, action, old faces, new faces, are just some of the things that you will see in this second season. I will admit this much, almost the entire first half lost me. Not at all due to the complexity because Bleach isn't complex at all. I just feel certain events dragged on too long and this includes the comedy in particular. Also, several characters were far too long winded and they over stayed their short welcomes quickly. There was also a filler episode that grated on my nerves the entire time.
This season does shine for me in certain areas, one is definitly with the introduction of elite Soul Reapers. They truly are intimidating and their powers match their bravado. Plus the series isn't all just mindless sword play. There are other things taking place to add to the suspense of the story. No matter what, Bleach knows how to keep viewers glued to the seat wondering whats going to happen next.
The action is uncut and you will see all the blood plus hear all the foul language. The soundtrack got a little better with the addition of a new opening theme called "D-technoLife" performed by UVERworld. It's a pretty good song but I still prefer "Asterisk" peformed by Orange Range.
In any case, if you saw the first season and became a fan. There is alot going on here to keep your interest high and force you to continue further. Overall I did like it but I'm still not sure if I'm going to follow this really long series. Only time will tell. This season contains episodes 21- 41, plus there's an Ichigo poster added.

Summary: The Rescue Of Rukia Is On The Way
Comment: This season set reminded me a little of the Naruto storyline saga of when Naruto and his friends go to retrieve Sasuke before he defects to the Sound Village. But for me the Bleach characters who are trying to save Rukia from death are saving a more nobler and loyal friend than Sasuke was. This set has Ichigo and company trying to find and save Rukia who for unknown reasons has been sentenced to death for some ridiculous crime. Along the way Ichigo and friends will end up finding both new friends and allies as well as new enemies. What is also great about this set is that unlike the episodes on cartoon networks ADULT SWIM these episodes are not censored meaning that any bloody fight scene or language is not cut out or dubbed a different way. The picture quality and animation are great sharp and clear and the audio is also very clean no undue or weird sounds that are not part of the show. The English and Japanese Voice actors were superb with this season set as they were with the first. So for the cool price this set is going for I say start your Bleach collection today...

Summary: BLEACH IS THE BEST ANIME!!!!
Comment: im 13 and i have been watching this series sence the day it came to America, this is the best anime in the world. Bleach is funny but when Rukia`s life is in danger, the anime becomes serious and is a battle to life and death of Ichigo, Orihime, Uryu and Chad, putting thier life on the line for Rukias. As Ichigo and freinds try to defeat the captain and squad members of the soul society, Rukia is also waiting for her Execution.
I would recommend seeing the first season because ALOT of usefull information is given. Although these episodes may not be the "laugh out loud" the first season is verry funny. any anime fan should watch this and make Bleach your new favorite. this DOES contain sword fighting so things do tend to get "violent" but its worth watching, and is definently worth every single penny to buy!!

Summary: Hooked on Anime
Comment: I was introduced to Bleach by my late brother-in-law. I've been hooked ever since. The overall story is interesting but, my main complaint is
that they have taken a point and stretched it over several episodes
which was iritating. Especially the two episodes that were totally off the
story-line. With the plot twists involved this is truly a series worth
following.

Summary: Entryways
Comment: The first season of "Bleach" ended with Ichigo, Uryu, Chad, Orihime and the cat Yoruichi leaving the living world for the Soul Society, intent on saving Rukia.
But getting there isn't the least of their problems. The second major arc of the "Bleach" series -- called "The Entry" -- continues our heroes' quest to rescue Rukia from a death sentence, but they run into a new set of obstacles. It's pretty divided between action, slapstick and exposition, as well as a series of mysteries and conspiracies -- and a lot of likable new characters.
Ichigo and Co. narrowly make it into the Soul Society, almost losing Uryu along the way. And unfortunately -- between lethal captains and a building-sized Gatekeeper -- it's almost impossible to get inside the Soul Reapers' fortress, the Seireitei. Their only way inside is to ask an eccentric friend of Yoruichi's, a fireworks expert called Kukaku Shiba, to blast them (and her rough-edged brother Ganju) inside the Seireitei from the sky.
But surprisingly, being shot into orbit with a giant cannon isn't the worst thing that happens. The little group gets split apart -- and Ichigo finds himself facing an increasingly strong series of opponents, including the enraged Renji Abarai and the battle-hungry Captain Zaraki. Facing defeat and death, Ichigo is forced to call upon an ally he never knew he had -- and face a horrible inner enemy.
When a murder is committed in the Seireitei, the Soul Reapers are thrown into chaos, as they automatically blame the "ryoka" intruders for the death of one of their own. Orihime, Chad and Uryu are trying to fight their way in, but it's Ganju and the timid Soul Reaper medic Hanataro who make it to Rukia's cell -- only to reveal a horrifying secret from her past.
If the first season of "Bleach" was all about introducing the main characters and the concept of Soul Reapers, then the second season is all about Ichigo and Co. causing as much mayhem as possible in the Soul Society. Well, the Soul Society is not as pleasant and peaceful as Rukia led us to believe -- in fact, it has even more weirdos than Ichigo's hometown.
And while the storytelling is well-balanced, the second season is much more violent -- there's floods of blood, massive near-fatal injuries, and Byakuya Kuchiki's ability to shred opponents from a distance with tiny "cherry blossom" pieces of metal. And the storyline takes an unexpected twist halfway through, when a character is apparently murdered and the lieutenants start turning against each other. And since there are hints of a conspiracy involving Rukia, it's pretty obvious that something is rotten in the state of the Soul Society. Just what it is remains to be seen, but it promises to cause even more chaos in the Seireitei.
But not all is doom and blood in the second "Bleach" season -- it's still liberally peppered with funny dialogue ("That's a pretty cute name for someone who takes himself so seriously." "MY NAME IS NOT CUTE!") and physical goofery (Yoruichi's true form is revealed to Ichigo). Though our heroes spend a lot of time running around causing mayhem, they also create a lot of humor as well -- such as when Ichigo screams for Ganju, only to realize that he just alerted several off-duty Soul Reapers to his location.
Ichigo has to learn a bunch of new skills in this season, including getting closer to his inner, um, sword. Uryu's chivalrous side gets a workout when Orihime is threatened. And Chad's history is finally revealed in full, such as how this gentle giant became determined never to fight for his own sake, and how he became fast friends with Ichigo.
There are a couple of new characters too: we get to see Renji's miserable youth with Rukia, and why he's hellbent on defeating Ichigo. And our heroes team up with an adorably timid Soul Reaper medic named Hanataro, who serves as tour guide/comic relief for much of the season ("See how full of life and energy and vitality I am?") as well as the boar-riding Ganju.
While most of the Soul Reapers aren't fleshed out, they are given enough quirks and personality to seem very realistic -- narcissists, child prodigies, bookworms, battle-o-philes, bombshells and little creepy girls with pink hair. Two particular standouts are a laid-back, sake-chugging captain named Shunsui Kyoraku, and Rukia's captain, a sickly hunk named Ukitake.
The second "Bleach" season takes our heroes straight into the heart of the Soul Society, and a lot of new trouble as well. Definitely worth checking out -- but expect one heckuva cliffhanger.
