Bleach: Episodes 1-25

Hey Guys!
How are you? I am well. How has your week been? Mine has gone pretty good, so far.
Today, I would like to give a review of a series that I have been watching lately. It is a manga series, called Bleach. The series is based a young beginner soul-reaper (Gigai) called Ichigo Kurosaki. For many years, Ichigo has been able to see spiritual beings. It wasn't until he met Rukia Kuchiki, and took over her Shinigami capabilities, that he could fight off the evil spirits called Hollows. Though, when Ichigo took Rukia's abilities to fight Hollows, she became as helpless as a human. Whereas, Ichigo became strong.  Rukia finds she must fit in with the human world until she regains her powers. She starts to attend Ichigo's school, and hanging out with his friends. Yet, events start to occur (thanks to the Soul Society).
They find out that there was a transfer of her Shinigami to a human, which is a felony in the Soul Society. Two soul-reapers are sent to arrest her. Her adopted brother (Byakuya Kuchiki), and her childhood friend (Renji Abarai)  are the two. They attempt to kill her on the spot, but Ichigo interferes. Ichigo and Renji fight, and to the surprise of the soul-reapers, Ichigo begins to show the capability to win the fight. Then Byakuya steps in, sending a deathly blow to Ichigo. Rukia begs that his life be spared, as he would not live beyond this. She agrees to go back to the Soul Society, to be executed. They take her back. As Ichigo lay dying, he was shocked by Rukia's decision. He swears that he will save Rukia. Ichigo, himself, is saved by a acquaintance (Kisuke Urahara) of Rukia's. He is one that lives among the humans. Ichigo also finds that his friends Orihime Inoue, Yasutora Sado, and Uryu Ishida have special capabilities. Together they venture to the Soul Society. They undertake a giant, soul-reaper captains, and very annoying souls. Time presses and Rukia has only 14 days left till her execution. Can Ichigo save her?
I will continue to watch the series and let you all know. : )
I would rate this series 5 out of 5 stars. Very, very entertaining!!
Thanks for reading!

Howling for Howl!

Hey Guys!
I recently watched the anime movie Howl's Moving Castle, and I thought it was really cool. It is the first anime movie I have I ever seen, and I am currently another.
The movie follows a hardworking girl named Sophie. When she is cursed, for 'mistreating' the Witch of the Waste,  she is turned into an old maid. Ashamed she flees to the mountains, only to find the Moving Castle of Howl Pendragon. She meets a fire demon named Calcifer, who offers to break her spell if she breaks his contract with the wizard. When she meets Howl, Sophie recognizes him from a little earlier (in the movie). She gets employed as Howl's housekeeper. Can she convince Howl to break her spell? I totally recommend watching and finding out. I would rate this movie 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Hope you enjoy!
