In the second season of the popular fantasy-adventure Bleach, Ichigo,Chad, Ohime, Ishida, and Master Yoruichi the talking cat pass through the inter-dimensional portal linking Earth to the segregated world of the Soul Society. Lost souls are consigned to the run-down Rukon ("Drifting Spirit Town"), where Yoruichi obtains help from pyrotechnician Kukaku to get into the stronghold the Seireitei. Although the teen-agers have crossed space and time to rescue Rukia, no one knows where she's imprisoned--or where they are--in that city-sized compound. Ichigo and his new ally Ganju seize timid janitor Hanataro: He knows where Rukia is and secret ways to get there. Director Noriyuke Abe skillfully mixes overlapping movements, slow-motion, unusual camera angles, reverse colors, and black-and-white to heighten the drama of the sword fights between Ichigo's team and the bizarre-looking officers of the Soul Society. But the internal conflicts often prove more compelling than the external ones. Viewers learn why Chad never uses his awesome strength in his own interest; Ichigo discovers that he must use his sword as an ally, rather than as a tool. By submitting to Zangetsu, the spirit of the sword, he acquires greater power. But Bleach never stays too serious for too long: Ichigo and Ganju squabble, even in dire straights, and an overhead shot of Ichigo fleeing a squad of Soul Reapers looks like a table-top Pac-Man game.The satisfying balancee of comedy, adventure, and well-choreographed battles has made Bleach a smash hit in Japan and America. (Rated "Teen," suitable for ages 13 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, brief nudity, alcohol use.) --Charles Solomon

 all and all, a great value October 7, 2008
after ichigo and co hone their abilities in the world of the living with the help of urahara and yoruichi, they embark on their mission to save rukia before her execution.
in my point of view, the beginning of the second season begins much like the first season. whereas we are already well acquainted with ichigo and his troupe, we are now introduced to allies and enemies in the soul society each with their own interesting pasts. the only down side is that introductions are sometimes so quick that you sometimes can't remember who a character is (especially if you are unaccustomed to hearing japanese names). these introductions really seem to keep the plot line at a stand still for nearly five episodes until the rescue actually begins.
after about the first four or five episodes, however, we are dropped right into the action. ichigo and co are divided while entering the sereitei and are forced the fight for their lives while the members of the thirteen court guard squads attempt to hunt them down.
in contrast to the first season that has a really even pace, the second season accelerates very quickly by dropping us into the action as each of ichigo's troupe is forced to face off against the soul reapers, and later even the captains of the thirteen court guard squads. the only problem i have with this is that much of the action is balanced by unnecessary dialogue. in at least two instances one fight may stretch over two episodes which leaves you feeling if you had gotten your money's worth. action is also interrupted by semi-relevent or irrelevent back story, such as the explanation of chad's loyalty to ichigo and the karakura superheroes respectively.
as for the tone, despite the greater degree of action, the second season is much like the first. we are given our dose of action, humor and even sentimentality over the course of the season creating a very solid anime.
though the second season seems to really take off after the first few episodes, the uneven pacing can become rather annoying as unnecessary dialogue interrupts action. even so, the content and plot make-up for this small downfall.
