Beautiful artwork from Kubo Tite.Mar 15, 2010
The best part of the book is reading Kubo's own explanations for the designs and characters.
fantastic!Feb 22, 2010
I LOVED this book, my only complaint was that it wasnt long enough and/or I couldnt find another one to buy! You wont be sorry for this purchase if you are a Bleach fan or just an anime/manga art fan.

Really gorgeous, colorful, full page art of Ichigo and his Anime Pals..but you better love Ichigo!Feb 13, 2010
Bleach lovers should totally get this. For so many really cool and colorful BLEACH cast pics, it's worth it. Granted, you had better have major mojo LOVE for Ichigo, our sub shinigami boy, cause it's mostly him with his main crew (Rukia, Renji, Uryu, Chad, Orihime). My main wish would have been more of the captains, vice-captains, and villains, even if it meant less Ichigo.
But you can't complain about the quality or coolness factor. Many of the full or double-page spreads actually look like fashion spreads, as if the cast was showing up in an anime-world VOGUE or VANITY FAIR layout. The one where they're all Arabian in the desert--OMIGOSH. Uryu never looked so hothothot, and Ichigo is not far behind. There's a "beach and watermelon" double-pager for the boys who like girly attributes, as Rangiku, Yoruichi, Orihime are on ample display, with an amusingly annoyed (and flat) Soi Fon left holding the watermelon wedges. Hah.
Love the action ones, swords and fighter-frowns. Love that there's a pull-out poster. Love that Ichigo can be so much sexier in color stills. I really love the one that is just him, full page, bandaged torso, bare feet, intense. Lovely use of color and details and atmosphere.
I hope there's gonna be an Art of Bleach II that will feature those amazing Espada character designs, especially Grimmjow and Ulquiorra (those hotties) and the Vizards. And I'd like to see color pages of the assorted fabulous bankai manifestations, like Hitsugaya's and Ayasegawa's and Hisagi's. And I'd like to see the manifestations of the zanpakuto's. (I mean, Zangetsu should have some face time, and certainly Sode no Shirayuki and Hyourinmaru and Soi Fon's (Suzumebachi?), as they were so beautifully done.) Tite kubo can draw, and he's created some fabulous characters for this manga/anime.
All in all, a lot of Bleach-y eye candy, but need a better balance in future volumes (if forthcoming) so it's not an Ichigo fest, but a balanced Bleach-Fest.
Love Bleach? Love Japanese art? Bingo!!Dec 10, 2009
For any diehard Bleach fan, this is the artbook for you! The art is amazing and Tite Kubo is a genius!!!! There are several rare art pieces in here as well. This is something a Bleach fan should not go without!!
Nothing short of amazingJul 15, 2009
I just got this book a couple of days ago and could not stop flipping through the pages over and over again. I absolutely LOVE Kubo Tite's drawing style...it's refreshing to see the Bleach characters in both "traditional" and modern outfits. MUST HAVE for a Bleach fan! :)
