Bleach feels similar somehow. There are a lot of series on shinigami-s & spirits. Let's see... reminds me a bit of The Shaman King.
^^ Right now, I am not very interested in the fighting. I'm more interested in the characters themselves. Ichigo's dad is hilarious. Currently, for me, this series is one of those stories wherein I'm more interested if this and that character ma-dayon in the end.
