''Bleach'' is more than just a manga and serialized anime: several animated films, video games ([[NoExportForYou most of which never saw overseas release]]), novellas, and even a theatrical production have been released. In 2012, Creator/WarnerBros announced they would be producing a live-action film adaptation, [[DevelopmentHell but nothing's come of it since]]. In August 2016, it was announced in the final chapter that a Japanese live-action film is in production for 2016.

Ichigo Kurosaki is your everyday average Japanese highschooler, except for his [[ImplausibleHairColor oddly-colored hair]] and ability to see ghosts. That all changes when he meets Rukia Kuchiki, a [[{{Shinigami}} Soul Reaper]] sent by Soul Society to slay Hollows, monstrous evil spirits. They are promptly attacked by a Hollow, and Rukia is forced to transfer her powers to Ichigo so that he can protect her and his family. [[LongRunners That was in 2001, and it's still going]], though [[SeasonalRot its popularity has somewhat waned over the years]].

'''''Bleach''''' began as a manga written by Tite Kubo and published in ''Weekly Shounen Jump'' alongside the likes of ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' and ''Manga/OnePiece'', with which it became known as the "Big Three" due to their runaway popularity. In October 2004, ''Bleach'' was adapted into an anime by Creator/StudioPierrot, which ran until March 2012, when it was replaced by ''Manga/RockLeesSpringtimeOfYouth''. Also in 2012, the manga entered its final arc, ''The Thousand Year Blood War''.
