nothing beats the Kon crying scene, that was epic gold

True, he was doing it for 90 minutes long, so we could enjoy every minute of this movie full of fresh ideas (unless you can easily remember about saving someone the whole arc and about memories in some other movie).

It's a good movie to watch one time. 6 from me.

Well, the movie was nice and enjoyable enough, but I don't know... as others mentioned, it reminded me the second movie, just a different, less convenient, set up and story.

So yeah, I liked the 2 other movies more than that one, but this one is fine too X:

The best movie out of the 3, even plotwise. Made me forget how crappy is the manga lately.
Dragon Ball movies taught me to not expect much from movie plots and to avoid movie/manga comparisons so I can only concentrate on the fanservice and the action.
And boy this one had plenty of boths, even the last part was eyecandy for someone who hasn't seen the first manga chapters like me.

So yeah, Memories of the Nobody was a decent start, DiamondDust Rebellion was pretty crappy with the forced Ichigo/Toushiro combo and being centered in a popular-but-unimportant character. This one manages to combine decent plot with action and fanservice for Soul Society arc lovers. 8/10

I'm sorry, but I really don't see how anyone could have thought this was decent? this was 5/10 at best, and i love bleach.

1. Art. The eyes and the faces at times were really un-bleach like, they were ugly, distracting, and didn't fit. The animation was great at times, and bad at others, and it felt like i was watching the same animations over and over again for the snake battles.

2. Movie characters. Seriously, these are the lamest, dumbest, neediest, retarded child minded villains ever. Completely unlikeable, not in the way that you hate a villain, but in the way you hate bad characters that shouldn't have existed. I was always expecting a real villain to turn up... that would have at least been mildly interesting.

3. Plot.... whooo boy. First of amnesia, it's the writers fallback for when you are out of ideas. From the beginning it was fail. A hour of IT'S ME ICHIGO! DON'T YOU REMEMBER! DID YOU FORGET RUKIA? HOW ABOUT ME iCHIGO! WHAT ABOUT RUKIA! HEY WAIT I'M STILL ICHIGO!

Then we get to see soul societies whole "let's hack up whatever comes into sight instead of actually trying to solve any crimes or do anything productive" It's obvious that Ichigo never meant any harm to anyone.

The villains were totally unlikeable... then come the plotholes!!!

A. How did the kids know about the device, or what it was going to do? They basically fled to hueco mundo, then stayed there for 100 years and came back for rukia. Was it Aizen's crazy plan? If so they could of at least hinted at something

B. They clearly dominated over the hollows mind, why do they hate shinigami's? Sure they were attacked by one, but after 100 years they should have realized that he was possessed, even rukia said "your not a shinigami your a monster!" in a scream during the fight. It could be part of bleaches brilliant talking system where you can yell at the top of your lungs and not be heard, but people 100 feet apart floating in air can have a pleasant chat in a normal talking voice.

C. If they forgot everything about rukia, and Ichigo, then they would have to have forgotten about aizen's betrayal. Shouldn't they have been more concerned that there was 3 captains that didn't exist? And how many memories would have to be erased for aizen/other 2 to nto exist, and then so on and so on. Eventually there would have been no memories at all

D. Why didn't they just come back to Rukia and greet her, why did they destroy soul society, they could have just as easily teleported to rukia, grabbed her reaped her memory, and left. They constantly were causing a havoc(for movie fanservice?) just for the sake of it, even though there was no plot reason as to why they did it.

E. Why did the kids have the power to teleport? Did i get that right? Why did 2 random kids be able to do something nobody else can do. No shinigami have powers like that, maybe hollows. But shinigami can only use kidou and their swords powers. Not a single one has a special ability exclusive to them outside of sword/kidou. If it was the hollow that could teleport, why did it teleport into the kids, "it was a mistake!" how convenient if thats the case...

4. Music it had it's ups and downs, but mostly downs, at one point they played a song that sounded like it came straight out of naruto. Was totally not like bleach

disappointing bleach movie.

the villains sucked, the plot sucked. I was expecting more back story with Rukia but that never happened. the fights were also lame, when i first saw the trailers and previews i thought it would feel more like the soul society arc and regain some of that old Bleach flair with the repeated fights and what not (ichigo vs ikkaku, renji, etc).

i mean, Ichigo even fought against people he never fought before, like Hitsugaya and Komamura but nothing cool came out of it. neither of them were surprised at ichigo's bankai which should have granted him surprising speed, and ichigo was unequally surprised by Hitusgaya and Komamura's abilities. I mean, he was fighitng CAPTAINS. that used to be a big deal in the soul society arc, but I guess no one really cares anymore.

although the animation was nice for most of the movie, i can't help but feel cheated out of what could have been a cool repeat of the soul society arc (but with ichigo vs different captains and such). the music was also unoticeable throughout most of the movie, many of the fights had no background music going on at all, making them feel quite .. boring.

These movies are basically a "work in progress". Its a learning process for the Bleach team. Each movie they do better at certain things than they did the previous movie.

+For example, they managed to finally find the level of quality and battle choreography they needed.
+They've also learned how to space out and balance the placement of fight scenes (which movie 1 and 2 had problems with).

Basically whats left is interesting villians and overarching storylines.

It also helps that each movie is allowed to show more abilities than the previous one. (ie: Hisagi with Kazeshini).

However, Ive rated all the movies the same. I liked the characters and atmosphere from movie1, appreciated the attempt at drama/suspense/angst in movie2, quality control and battle choreography in movie3.

I'm so in love with the world of Bleach that I love every movie of this. Everything that even attempts to have a plot is gold for me, looking at what the Manga has been doing over the last years... which is why I also prefer the Anime. Fillers > Original Plot. ^^

Also, I absolutely adore that ED theme. I watched it three times and listened to it the rest of my day. :D

Anyone wanna tell me what the names Homura & Shizuku mean? It has to be significant somehow.

Other than that, the movie was just,
"It's me, Ichigo!"
"Who the hell are you? Seize him!"
*FLASHBACKS*
"Ichigo beats the final boss" *Cue Final Fantasy victory theme*
"Bonds are forever."
The End.

Still, I like it better than the second trainwreck of a movie. Oh and, when the hell did Byakuya learn to use a teleportation hole with his petals?

At the very least, this one was better than the 2nd movie but not as good as the 1st. (IMO)

The animation for this movie was horrible. The way they stretched Rukia's face like 95% of the time. I don't watch the TV Series but i could series tell the animation was off.

There wasn't much of a "big" finale fight either. I mean, one reason why i even bothered to watched this was because i thought they were finally gonna show Rukia using bankai or something but noooooo. Ichigo only doing his transformation like once on something he didn't even need too.. they didn't even need it in the movie.

At least the ending song was nice.



edit: was also surprised Aya Hirano played one of the badgoodbad guys

Pretty amazing movie!!

n yay! Urahara Keisuke was cool in the movie n we saw him use bankai (n his captain robe <3) ^.^

liked the last sentences : "Once a bond is formed, it never disappears"

The ending theme was great *finally got 2 know the meaning of this song* ((It has been my ringtone for months now hehe)

5/5 movie!!

n ya after watching this movie, I became Kurasaki/Rukia fan. srry to Kurasaki/Inoue ppl..

Bleach can nvr be boring! (Oh well, current filler is -__-") *but the movies r always great n touching!*

Am I the only one who feels like the two characters' names are reversed?

Shouldn't Homura be the guy and Shizuku be the girl? Homura sounds more masculine and Shizuku sounds more feminine...odd. But who am I to talk? Leave it to the Japanese creators.

pretty good movie, but I liked diamond dust rebellion more...

the fight scenes were good, exactly with the captains... always love Kenpachi's awesome entrances, and Byakuya's cool and calm appearances, well but I would love to see him loses his calm a bit...

but the story seemed not that interesting, at least the siblings should have fought seperately a bit more and it would be better if Mayuri did something about the lab... At the end, Kon's crying was the best...

Among the three movies, this movie does have the best action and fight scenes. I realized that the animation is better compared to the first two. Still some inconsistency in the drawings, at certain point watchers , u notices that ichigo might look different. I wish they keep to the same artist ( the one handling the drawing for the fight between ichigo and renji ). Their xpressions are really GOOD>

There's another thing, i don't like the idea that RUkia suddenly had a random connection with the two kids. It sorts of rendered the original story. Rukia shouldnt have wasted her tears for them. But i do like homura, since aya hirano was the one who voiced her.

Overall, i rated it for 6/10
Shizuku is just another part of Kira.

and yeah.. shizuku looks like kira..
but one thing i realized in the movie (although added with some things unrelated from the original one), rukia has yet lost another beloved people in her life (the 1st being kaien shiba). so i cried out for that part though...

I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical going in on the movie after everything the series has gone through the past couple of years. But I have to say this has to be the best of Bleach Movies.

Story started exciting, ended up boring and trying-too-hard, and the only reason to ever be a little bit excited about it is if you were a Rukia-tard like me. There was a lot of potential to make the story and villains better, but hey this is Bleach we're talking about.

The problem (one of them, really) with Bleach is that it has too many cool characters, and when they try to fit them all you can only see them use 10 seconds for each. It could be better if they showed less characters and tried to flesh a few out better than fanservice the fans of each by making them go bankai for a moment.

You can see they didn't try too hard with the animation, either. The fight scenes are of course fluid and decent (this IS movie) but the character designs are very inconsistent. Ichigo seems to have had 5-7 different designs in this movie alone, and Rukia's enormous eyes were very weird to stare at.

All in all this is good for ichiruki and rukia-tard fans, but this movie shows the lack of motivation the staff possessed when doing it. Besides the fight scenes and the great ending sequence (with Porno Graffitti!), there's not much to salvage.

God Kon should've stayed on the real world.
