I find it amusing that the one time someone tells Ichigo to butt out of Soul Society's affairs, the bad guys put Ichigo into the center of the story. Thank you! (Nah not really, but whatever). I thought this was a really good movie compared to the previous three. They built up the story nicely without getting into battles and the art seems somewhat better. They don't force too many fight scenes with different characters and the setting is different from our usual Sereitei. What Bleach really needs to improve on is the character development/more effort in their antagonists. When the fiery guy died so easily, I was like, "Wait. That's it?". Kokuto was alright, but maybe a few flashback scenes of his sister would have been nice. Anyways, it was a good movie in Bleach standards. I gave it a 7/10. |

I also expected to see Ulqiorra there after that start but nope. Even though we saw Szyalopporo and that other guy in the prologue episode. I really enjoyed it anyway. I did not expect that guy to turn out to be the one who wanted to use Ichigo to escape after seeing him fight Ulquiorra. I also think it would've been nice to have seen flashbacks of his sister. I really did think he just wanted to help Ichigo to get the fire hands dude to get the Soul Society to let him out fo helping. Ichigo was really sweet at the start to that ghost boy :3 It looks really great and cinematic as always. Love the art <3 The Soul Society was like "Ichigo, stay outta this" but the baddie was like "nopeeeeeeeee" lol. Ichigo at the end with that golden form after going Hollow crazy was awesome! I can't believe the things in hell gave him their power to do that. But he really should've stayed golden at the end so they didn't attack him. I really think the tag line of the movie should have been "stay golden" lol. Would've been awesome. |

I enjoyed this film, probably my favorite Bleach movie, even though I thought Ichigo's hell form was pretty lame. |

gave it 7/10 because of ichigos last transformation which was given by hell itself. tHE movie was badass and dark which was awesome and better than other bleach movies. |

Absolutely shitty story. First of all the bad guy wasn't a bad guy. He was basically a vigilante and hell acted like a human institution of authority ... Kokuto should have escaped, but there was the asspull nonsense where ichigo gains random power up and once he removes the asspull power up, all those hell things start attacking him. What a bunch of bullocks, it's not even funny. bloodiemonster said: hahah I though it was pretty badass I knew that guy was going to turn out to be the mastermind behind it all it was way to convenient for him to show up when he did Pretty good though as a bleach fan I enjoyed it he wasn't the mastermind ... those other guys were operating on their own and wanting to destroy the gates, while his plan was to destroy the chains get it?

This movie is better than I thought. I wasn't excited to watch when I saw the episode special they made in the series but it turned out it was worth watching. Ichigo looked so badass in that Kushanada mask. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |

I picked up this movie at a used book store when it was closing for good. I went a little overboard and bought a bunch of out-of-order anime... like volume 3 of an anime but not volumes 1-3 since the store didn't have them. I thought, "Well, when it comes to watching in order, it's not too bad if it's a movie". I have only watched maybe ten episodes of Bleach-- I think even out of order. I only remember about one episode of it. As for the manga, I think I've only read a few chapters of that too. That being said, I can into this movie not knowing all the nitty gritty on what was going on. I should have probably been lost, right? Actually, no. I have to say, the director did a really great job leading to project to tell a story which could easily be picked up by someone who didn't know much about the series. In fact, the movie started out like the one part I did remember about Bleach... which was a kinda stupid move in my opinion; I thought they were retelling the story in a different way for the movie at first. I was kinda confused. Still, I got from the movie that there's this dude, he sees spirits, some shinigami made him a substitute soul reaper society guy thing, he has power, he has a baaaad form which no one wants him to use and he doesn't want to use either. Oh, and the guy's mom's dead and I guess he's close to his sisters. I'm kinda guessing, btw. Maybe that's totally not what's what, but that's what I got from the movie. And if that IS what's what, then I feel like they did a good job introducing the world to new watchers. Like, wow, I didn't feel lost at all. I watched this dubbed. Considering the dub came out a while ago, I was expecting some relatively bad dubbing. The thing is, if it's Bleach, they can put in 5% and it's still going to sell because it's just that popular. They didn't need to put much effort in the dub to get money. I was really surprised to hear that the dub was actually done pretty well! Now, I'm not a dub hater, I just wasn't expecting 2012 to have some good dubbing on such a big title like this one. At this time, I expected more niche titles which couldn't use it's franchise fame to have the only "good" dubs, but this isn't the case. If it's niche, you gotta put more into it so it might have a chance, after all. I found, instead, that the voice actors were full of passion and had some good deliveries. I was looking away from the screen a lot just to analyze their delivery and sometimes just to concentrate on folding the clothes. I would find that the conversation on screen often sounded genuine, that the VAs really knew what they were doing. I'd perk my head up and start nodding, impressed. The dub just exceeded my expectations so much. There were maybe a few lines which made me stop and think, "That wasn't the best delivery". Lookin' at you, Uryuu-- and in Prince's defense, Uryuu doesn't seem like an easy character to play naturally just as the high-pitched genki girl often sounds just as unnatural (in both Japanese and English). Also, I love me some Michelle Ruff, but some (ONLY SOME) of her lines as Rukia fell flat, and I get it again: the type of tone she's required to use for the character often makes it difficult to emote. The deeper you make the voice, the harder to gets to emote-- sometimes. Depends. Wouldn't doubt if that's the case with Rukia as well. Meanwhile, the Japanese version had more than its fair share of lines which didn't sound too natural as well. Still, with my very few yet needlessly elaborated gripes, I felt it was a great dub. The best part of all was even without looking at the screen, I knew exactly what was going on just by the tone of everyone's voice, the use of sound effects, and soundtrack. That's good. That's really good. It's even led me to form a bit of an opinion about some folks. I've been listening to dubs, seeing how much they've improved over the years (A LOT), and yet I still hear the same old, "Dubs suck. All dubs are bad". Back in 2006? Yeah, sure; I'd have been shrugging and probably agreeing. In 2017, we're really getting a lot of good dubs and voice actors are putting a lot of passion into their work. It shows, and it reflects well in the dubs. So to the folks who still insist on the "Dubs suck. All dubs are bad" mantra, I think it's time to step back a little and ask... ...are you even listening?! Have you been giving dubs chances recently? Are you just taking one VA, realizing that their delivery isn't too great and then canning the whole dub for it? Are you even listening to the Japanese version?! These dubs are becoming more and more solid. We've gotten away from the sucky dub era-- though I don't doubt that there are still some out there, but to keep on dismissing dubs with the same worn out mantra is just ignorant at this point. Good dubs are being made. Good dubs are being made kinda consistently. You aren't listening or you're nitpicking. It's time to change your excuse so I can stop having this conversation at parties... Me: Yeah, and they did a really great job on that dub. Everything sounded really natural. They localized it really well and the emotions came through really well. I actually thought the hiss was a nice touch and added a little to the character that a U.S. audience would pick up. It was good acting, really. Gosh I liked that choice. Anime newbie: Meh. I'l just watch with subs though cause all dubs suck. Me: Why do they all suck? Anime newbie: Well you know like my friend says they can't name even one good dub because they're all bad. And I've heard some and they're not too good. Me: What'd you watch? Anime newbie: Well, Naruto and-- after Naruto I was like screw dubs let's hear it in Japanese. It sounded better and it's the original so I just kept watching that. Me: =A= And it's like, man, you know these folks aren't listening to the Japanese line delivery really unless it's something that catches their ear. Just... I dunno, so many of the arguments for why dubs "suck" just can't be upheld anymore. "I want the literal translation and dubs don't give that! The meaning is lost!" Dubs aren't Japanese learning tools. They're entertainment meant for a certain demographic. Things will possibly be changed based on marketability of the demographic. They're not supposed to have a literal translation; you're translating the idea/feeling, not the words exactly when it comes to entertainment. "The voice actors sound wooden!" Sure. In the original Japanese as well. There is something within this complaint that could be changed on the side of post production in the U.S. though. Voice actor's rarely record their lines with the other "character" they're supposed to be talking to, which sometimes makes it a bit hard to act at nothing. Voice actor's also don't often get time to read their lines beforehand. Maybe if the process changed, things would improve. BUT I personally feel that voice actors have stepped up their game considerably. I'm hearing nuances that I never used to hear in older dubs, and it's pretty friggen amazing to hear just how far voice actors have come even while STILL acting with nothing but paper, a mic, and air as opposed to having someone else's energy to work off of. "Why dub when subs work just fine?" If you can see/read fine then I guess you'd be content, wouldn't you? There are folks who can't read, have trouble reading (dyslexia, other sight problems, or other disabilities which make watching difficult and audio beneficial), or are just straight up blind. Dubs are useful for many people. But also, since the goal is to market anime to people, there's an idea to make it as easy to watch as possible. So trying to get as many people to watch something as possible which is in another language? Dub that. I have so much to say, but it's five in the morning. Jfc. I'm just so sick of this "Dubs suck" thing when I'm hearing so much improvement in dubs holy moly. Just say you prefer subs BECAUSE YOU PREFER SUBS. "I'm used to subs, so I stick to subs". How hard is that as opposed to watching maybe five dubs-- ten dubs then deciding "all dubs suck". Jfc. Enough. I can't believe I'm still hearing this in 2017. By the way, the rest of this movie wasn't even that much to write home about. Good paving the way for newbies and good dub. Other than that... lol wtf, I'm kinda ticked off with Rukia's character. What's up with all the female characters being so seemingly weak? I know this was 2010, but dang this stuff is still going on in 2017. Pssst, because they see it done by the "greats" before them. And that nude bit with Rukia? That's a damn shame. And who the hell was boob master over there glomping the small child? That was probably the least newbie friendly thing in the movie because I can't help but keep wondering, "Wtf was up with that and why was it needed?" Is it a running gag? I dunno. I can only assume it is. But it was kinda stupid since the whole movie was without that type of thing. Weird. Bleach is weird. |

Opening the movie with that Ichigo vs Ulquiorra remaster was awesome as - dare I say it - Hell. After that, the movie was decent but basically boiled down to Ichigo saving another girl. Maybe it's just because I haven't watched Bleach in years, but this was definitely underwhelming in comparison to my memory of it. It felt more like I was watching a filler with great action scenes. Still, it's the fights that keep me crawling back to this series. I'll also say that the whole theme with why Kokuto was in hell and would be forever trapped gave it a bit more depth, though not necessarily as many circles as Dante's Inferno. 7/10 |

I think this edges out Fade to Black as my favorite of the Bleach movies....really hope for an animated continuation of the main series some day...i waited an eternity to watch these movies, but now I have nothing else to quell my desire for more Bleach |

Seems like best Bleach movie to this point. It's on par with Memories of Nobody for me if not slightly better. Yeah, the plot is quite basic, but it's not always about plot. If it can bring forth some emotional moments then it's good enough for me to call it good movie. 6/10 for me. Means good movie. I liked it. |

I watched this while it was premiering in 2010.. rewatched 5 times already.. The massive, sweeping cero followed by nuclear sized explosions is the coolest thing ever and my favorite attack in the entire bleach series. I dunno why, but there's just something about explosive lasers that makes me happy |

Very nice fan service movie! Non stop action from start to finish, starting with one of the badass fights in the series. It was very entertaining! It's the best out of the four for me. 8/10 |

did they redid the Animation for Ulquiorra vs Ichigo in the opening scene? it looks better than what we got in the series right? If only the showing us flashback backstory about Kokuto and his sister, i think it will adding more depth to his character. Story was average at best, so they showing us Shrieker in the Prologue Episode 299 and he didn't even in this movie.. wtf was that for? lol also Espada 8 and 9 was in hell, so i thought the others will showing up in this movie. so the Prologue was kinda useless except just an introduction for Shuren. Animation fight was really good, Bleach Movie Animation was all we wish for the Series. really enjoying just for the Animation. how did Yuzu come back alive? Ichigo Will Power? they didn't even explained it at all.. lmao they ending it with Ichigo get sudden power up that we will never see it again lol interesting form though. 6/10 just because the Animation. so for now my Ranking for Bleach Movie is: 1. Memories of Nobody 2. Fade to Black 3. Hell Verse 4. The Diamond Dust Rebellion (might changed in the future if i decided to rewatched it again) |

Same like the 3rd movie, I thought the ideas were interesting. But the execution has, once again, let the movie down. For a change though, I kind of liked this movie even then. It’s hard to make sense exactly why but I could feel a lot of love and passion for this. Obviously, the animation is fairly self-explanatory, but that final scene of the two sisters for example just left a smile on my face. On the other side of things, no idea how Yuzu managed to recover out of the blue there nor how Ichigo suddenly became the leader of Hell xD. My mind says 6/10 but my heart says 6.5/10 (=> 7/10). Guess I’ll stick with the latter for now. |

The prologue episode made it seem like the Espada would appear, yet there wasn't even a hint of them in this movie. I have no idea how Yuzu recovered. Great soundtrack. Great animation. Story was typical Bleach stuff. 6/10. |

Pretty good film overall, unfortunately it probably will forever feel like ,,The Ichigo Vaste Lorde fanservice movie'' , pacing was pretty great for a film like this, its a shame more Bleach cast wasn't involved in it more, even Yamamoto, Toshiro, Byakuya felt like they were around for too short amount of time. Watching this film years apart after seeing other Bleach films doesn't change much for me, all of them are pretty similar so ranking them is just a hard task. 7.3/10 |

The story was at least decent. The animation was rather... hm.. oldie. The end song made me want to watch Lelouch and D.Gray-Man. lmao ==== It wasn't bad, but if I ranked the four movies altogether: Rank 1: Movie 1 (9/10) Rank 2: Movie 3 (8/10) Rank 3: Movie 2 (7/10) Rank 4: Movie 4 (5-6/10) ===== Naturally, I had fun in the earlier half of the movie, but somehow, the fight was somehow getting dragged slowly, then the conclusion was somewhat of a miracle. It's a rather strange turn of events. It somehow felt like an unrealistic filler. Anyway, the image uploaded was one of the things that made me like this movie, but the story was somewhat rushed IMHO. If they've given this more time giving character developments, it would've become better. [spoiler=img][ More of their daily lives would've been entertaining./spoiler] |

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
