Why does the Bleach movie have to follow any known/specific story arcs? Presumably, the American producers wish to start a franchise of sorts, so they would use the series to provide a background, but the stories can be entirely new or simply inspired by pre-existing arcs.
To put it in perspective, there is no single comic adaptation that is even mostly accurate to any specific comic storyline. To limit the movie entirely to a specific storyline from the manga seems a little preposterous. I would honestly prefer if the American producers simply take the original story and completely recreate it for an American audience (it's not like this process hasn't been done before (sometimes to great effect, often to horrendous effect)). It won't be Kubo's Bleach, but it can still be entertaining and, if done right, potentially better.
Whatever happens, here’s hoping that the film will inspire some new fans to check out the manga series.
