Bleach is a smash-hit shonen action anime series that embodies plenty of familiar shonen action tropes such as the power of friendship, fierce rivalries between friends, and the virtue of never giving up in the face of impossible odds. That puts it in the same league as series like Tokyo Revengers and Slam Dunk, but unlike those series, Bleach has strong fantasy elements. Even if author Tite Kubo didn't take any obvious cues from J.R.R. Tolkien or C.S. Lewis, his shonen masterpiece still feels like high fantasy in a slick shonen package.
