Review: I liked this a lot more than let's say Naruto.  The characters were good, the art was good for shounen and I had a ton of fun reading.  Of course it doesn't really get interesting until they get to Soul Society. 

While there are some annoying things, like how no one dies and how as far as I'm concerned, Ichigo hasn't lost or died yet for that matter.  (What?  He can beat Kenpachi but not Nnoitra, but Kenpachi can beat Nnoitra?  How does that make sense!?)

but nothing's perfect so just shut up and read!
