Sega announced in a press release on Friday that they would be bringing the popular Anime series Bleach to the Nintendo Wii and DS. The Manga is #1 in Japan and the animated series has seen immense success. To be honest, I know jack squat about anime, but I know there are plenty of people out there who are biting at the bit to play this title.

Bleach: Shattered Blade is the official name for the title, expected to launch in the Fall of 2007.

 The Bleach storyline follows fifteen-year-old Ichigo Kurosaki who is able to see spirits, including warriors from the afterlife known as “Soul Reapers”. The Soul Reapers are tasked with defending humans from otherworldly beings called “Hollows”. One fateful day, Ichigo meets Rukia, a Soul Reaper who lends him her powers after she is injured by a Hollow. In the game, players progress through an exciting storyline facing increasingly difficult opponents in their quest to uncover the truth.
