Line 8:
''Bleach'' starts off as a quirky [[Urban Fantasy]] action-comedy, but soon becomes a much more standard [[Shonen|Shonen Fightin' Anime]] with the start of the Soul Society [[Story Arc|arc]]. In it, Rukia is arrested by her fellow Shinigami for the crime of transferring her powers to a human, and taken back to the afterlife ("Soul Society") to be executed. Naturally, Ichigo wants to mount a rescue. Training montages, [[Shonen Upgrade|Shonen Upgrades]] and [[Xanatos Gambit|ridiculously complicated plans]] ensue. This arc is infamous for introducing [[Loads and Loads of Characters]] (tripling the previous cast; [[Word of God|manga author]] [[Tite Kubo]] has admitted that when he creates new characters, he does it to avoid writers' block), drastically changing the formula and tone of the series, and for [[Arc Fatigue|its sheer length]], which coined the meme, "Are they still in Soul Society?"
 
That said, this change of direction has led to not only one of the most ludicrous [[Wham! Episode|Wham Episodes]] in manga history, but many an [[Bleach (Manga)/Awesome|awesome moment]] as well, and its continued popularity speaks for itself. Hell, it even has ''[[The Musical|musicals]]''! It remained one of the "[[Naruto (Manga)|Big]] [[One Piece (Manga)|Three]]" [[Long Runners|long-running]] shonen manga/anime in serialization today (or... then), and it inevitably [[Dueling Shows|gets compared to its]] colleagues, as well as ''[[Dragon Ball (Manga)|Dragon Ball]]'' (of which Kubo is inspired by) and ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho (Manga)|Yu Yu Hakusho]]'' (which shared the same director). It's also notable for having one of the largest [[Peripheral Demographic|Peripheral Demographics]] in the history of shonen manga -- it has not so much an [[Estrogen Brigade]] as an Estrogen ''Legion''.
 
After [[Long Runners|10 long years]], the manga is announced to enter its final arc, [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-02-01/tite-kubo-bleach-manga-to-enter-final-arc which began on February 8, 2012]. The anime ended after 7 1/2 years on March 27, 2012 in favor of the ''[[Naruto (Manga)|Naruto]]'' spinoff ''[[Rock LeesLee's Springtime of Youth (Manga)|Rock Lees Springtime of Youth]]'', leaving the ending to be the only arc not planned to be adapted to animation.
 
There are fourteen story arcs so far, including the anime-original [[Filler]]:

[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-02-22/warner-develops-live-action-film-of-tite-kubo-bleach-manga On February 22, 2012, Warner Brothers Studios announced the licensing and planned development of a live-action Hollywood movie.]
 
Feel free to check out [[Bleach (Manga)/Characters|Ichigo's companions character sheet]] and six more on the other side of the link. ''Bleach'' is also amongst those few anime that earned its own [[Die for Our Ship/Bleach|Die For Our Ship]], [[Bleach (Manga)/Ho Yay|Ho/Foe Yay]], [[Fan Nickname/Bleach|Fan Nickname]], [[Bleach (Manga)/Radar|Getting Crap Past The Radar]], ''and'' [[Complete Monster/Bleach|Complete Monster]] pages. This page has gotten so long that it is necessary to give both the movies and the Anime [[Bleach Movies|their own page]] and [[Bleach (Manga)/Anime/Characters|character sheet]]. ''Under Construction'' - See the discussion page as to why.
 
It now has a page discussing one of its DS outings, ''[[Bleach the 3rd Phantom]]''.
 
''[[I Thought That Was|Note: This article is not about a laundry detergent]] or the [[Nirvana (Music)|Nirvana]] album. Sorry. It also (usually) has nothing to do with [[Brain Bleach]].''
 
'''Please revamp the main trope pages by moving all character tropes to their respective characters'''.
