deltaxxmintpie · 2009-10-04, 16:39

1. loved Benihime in action and the sound it made when it shot off those lasers :O awesome!!
2. Flash backs were annoying -_-
3. Yoruichi and soi fan yuri scene ftw

4. What a shame we didn't get to see Unohana in action :/
5. Lol at kon at the end
6. Ending song was good :>

Overall I'll rate this 8/10, nothing spectacular but very entertaining

soz >.< will fix it :P

Kitsueki · 2009-10-04, 18:12

Wow, I loved this movie, what was the name of the ending song?

Edit: Its Koyoi Tsuki Ga

Hellychan · 2009-10-04, 19:19

Finally I got to see it with subtitles

Well I like it a lot (what do you expect from a Rukia fan anyway

) Sure the lost of memory theme was a déjà-vu, but the way it was portrayed shed some light on the characters's feelings and relationship. The voice actors, especially Morita Masakazu did such a great job with Ichigo (I can't help but be moved by his shaking "Na-a Rukia!"

)

I agree here, KON is such an adorable "strange creature"

He played a big part in this movie and said some really strong lines...as if he was the one voicing out the unsaid feelings

Animation wise, it was kind of changing, some part were amazing and some just ok. I really like the re-match Ichigo VS Renji, it was just so eye-candy

and the captains's fight was really well orchestrated, fan-service for everyone! ^^b I certainly felt the same as Yachiru and Ken-chan during the clash

Spoiler for Disneyland:

Also Kazeshini's release was particularly well done

Is is just me or anyone else thinks the scene where Ichigo went Bankai on Renji's Bankai was just too ridiculous ^^;;

Spoiler for Double Bankai!!:

The little siblings were really cute!~(^.^<) Makes you feel like hugging them! This movie also shows us Rukia's motherly figure

Spoiler for Cuties!!:

Too bad that damn hollow had to feed on them...

Spoiler for Movie:

Spoiler for New Move:

And also:

Spoiler for Coolness:

Nii-sama is just too beautiful not to be shown

In the end I was really satisfied with the movie

(even though it could have been better, however 1h30 is a bit too short to add more)

ps: Porno Graffitti rock my socks!

After reading everyone's opinion of the movie, I was unsure as to whether or not I was going to watch this movie, but after reading your high spirited reaction to it, I feel compelled to see it now.
Ps:
Thanks to everyone for spoiling the whole thing for me already

Mishasan · 2009-10-04, 19:48

That part when Kon said "Ichigo save Neesan!" I started to tear up I wanted to hug my plushie of him. I was like poor Kon!! I started to laugh when Rukia called him a strange creature becaue she treats him a little bad like throwing him into Ichigo's face and stepping on him. lol

lol @ Byakuya's Warp! the move looks pretty cool. He teleports through petals of flowers. xD

Gin · 2009-10-04, 20:04

Byakuya having his own teleportion move is kind of pointless in my opinion. Didn't tousen use a kidou to teleport way back in SS? And shunpo pretty much equals teleporting anyways.

Kitsueki · 2009-10-04, 20:20

IMO, He used the petals in order to negate the enemy from getting in his way.

crestblader · 2009-10-04, 21:43

New poster here!

Saw the movie last night, and it was awesome!!

I especially loved the part where Ichigo and Renji did their duo-bankai thing~

Anyone know where I can get the song that played during that scene?

Another scene which I thought was very nice -

Spoiler for :O:

Kitsueki · 2009-10-04, 22:13

Welcome sir new member.

I particularly liked Ichigo and Renji's appearances in this movie as well.

RDF2050 · 2009-10-04, 22:39

Well i love the movie (yeah finally udnerstand it) and well there are many big moments but the best was Kun whe he said "Save Neesa- Rukia"

sayde · 2009-10-04, 22:45

Things I liked:
-the animation
-Ken vs Mayuri
-Urahara tearing it up and showing off a bunch of new shikai moves all in his classic captain garb.
-Ichigo and Renji's trademark ride-the-bankai
-Yamamoto entrance midway through the film (the effects of his spirit pressure, the classic theme song played, all combined with the coolness factor of him walking side by side with his almighty entourage was just too cool IMO)
-Yamamoto action near the end (despite the briefness)

I have to admit the story didn't do much for me. The fact that I couldn't care less about Rukia's character probably didn't help matters. But then again, I don't watch the movies for the story half the time anyways. I'm a sucker for fanservice. And this movie delivered a respectable amount for my tastes.

For the next movie, I want more Vizard Ichigo action, even more Yamamoto action, more Unohana action, and Aizen to come in at the very end to finish off the main bad guy of the movie. (j/k -- but not really).

roriconfan · 2009-10-05, 03:45

review time

Spoiler for it's long:

And after a long waiting, here comes the third Bleach movie. I must say, the guys who make these movies slowly improve the overall. It felt like they combined the best elements of the previous movies. The good part of the first movie was the twist about memories and the good in the second was the focus on a character from the series instead of a filler one. So, expect another theme about the importance of memories and lots of focus on the characters. The second movie centered on a tragic event in Hitsugaya’s past, this one is about Rukia’s. And yes, it does feel good as a premise as far as filler missions go. The plot was otherwise simple and predictable as it usually is but at least the main idea of lost memories was enough to care about whatever dramatic attempts this movie had.

Production values being so damn high means that even the cheesiest battles look fine and even offered some good choreography at the final dual for a change. Adding cinematics like turning the image slowly to grey or having a sad eerie sound during the flashbacks gave a boost to all those moments the action just seemed pointless. Also, it felt like the animation was a type of “Find Waldo” as many flashback scenes are actually taken from the series, including filler arcs. So, it was a sort of summary of what happened so far and tribute to the evolution of the relationship between Rukia and Ichigo… before it was scrapped for that lame Inoue rescue mission. In any case, you better not watch this movie before the series as it reveals a lot of important events. And let’s add to this the atmospheric music themes and the very catchy ending song too. Those finer touches actually helped me stay awake through the otherwise cheesy plot.

There are still the usual clichés you find in any fighting shounen movie. It is still to the most part a parade of special attacks and the “Let’s save Soul Society for the millionth time” theme is present for once more. And as I said, beyond the initial interesting premise of the story, the plot is cheesy as hell. Soul Society is in danger; Ichigo to the rescue, everyone fights the minions and lets the lead take on the boss. Plus, it gets lamer with one more addition. Remember how in American superhero crossovers, the heroes always fight each other when they meet? Just for the heck of it? Well, it is the same with this movie. Ichigo gets to fight EVERYONE he meets as they are supposed to have forgotten him. And yes it makes sense to do that but it gets staggering if 50% of the movie is spars between good guys that never result to anything other than advertising their transforming swords. The rest of the story is about… err… a super hollow created by Mayuti, that erases the memories of someone in EVERYONE’S minds… which escapes in the bodies of two children who can teleport… who were trapped in Hueco Mundo for a century… who return to find their good old friend Rukia and punish the tyrannical Shinigamis… and pretty much invade like the defenses in Soul Society are made of rice paper and turn everything to nice wax statues. Damn, movie villains seem to have 10 times the destructive power of the series villains.

Ok, if you try to make sense out of it, you won’t find any. This is Bleach we are talking about; remember? All I can say is that unlike the previous movies where Ichigo just storms in and beats the villain in a flash, here he is not able to do that right away as the villain here can teleport and has Rukia and two children as hostages. This made things more interesting to watch. Still, the conclusion was predictable and cheesy so don’t keep your hopes up. The story in the first movie is similar yet far better. The drama of the two children fades away pretty fast without any sense on part of the plot. Half of it is pointless duals and the other half is Swiss cheese. Also, the movie assumes Ichigo’s schoolmates or the Arrancar threat don’t exist so that makes it to stand alone and being unable to fit in some filler moment. For real now, that huge tentacle snake thing was supposed to be a simple Hollow?

Still, the cast is more entertaining than the other two movies. The focus is Rukia but for a change, we get to see Mayuri going insane in his lab, Kenpachi going amok in battle, Renji showing care about the person who he doesn’t remember and many more. Thus, at least as far as characters go, they feel less dry than in the previous movies. Heck, they even brought Urahara in the action and had Soi Fong in a half-naked, half-yuri scene. Oh, and Kon was also there to be the comical relief that goes all emo on the loss of Rukia. Very pleasing moments. Not great but still better than before.

As for the new characters, those two kids? They had no idea what they were doing. Trying to find their names by making Rukia forget them? WTF? All whining and no meaning. Senna kicks their butts in personality and she was a much weaker fighter without even remembering anything. There is no way you can sympathize them. You can hate them for causing all this trouble out of whining and for torturing poor Rukia like that. Oh, and Rukia? She reverts to the passive damsel in distress who is need of Ichigo to come and save her again. Come on, this got old. Ichigo is always about saving girls than protecting the world from cosmic horrors. The entire Soul Society had turned to a hideous wax statue and all he cared about was saving a chick. Ok…

Value and enjoyment ain’t much for the various reasons I mention. This third attempt made some steps forward (more focus on multiple characters) and some backwards (lame, whining new characters). It is still an average time killer if that is all you want.

Crimrui · 2009-10-05, 07:42

Finally saw the damn thing myself. It was good, not the best movie out of three, but definitely enjoyable. Some plotholes here and there, but nothing that I couldn't overlook.

The story was alright, Rukia was the in the center so you already know what to expect, lot's of IchiXRukia moments, Kon was funny (I actually dropped a tear when Kon was yelling at Ichigo to save Nee-san towards the ending of a movie, don't know where that came from, guess I'm getting soft

), some Captains and Vice-Captains got time to show their moves like in previous movies so nothing special about that. Well I could bitch about some characters not appearing near the end to join the final battle, I mean where was Unahana, Kira or Momo? Unahana was, let's say, helping the injured or something. but why others didn't appear?

I loved Kisuke wearing Gotei 13 uniform, that was sweet. Ken-chan stealing certain points in the movie as always and I hated Yachiru as always too. Animation was sometimes great and sometimes ok. Nice to see Hisagi appearing on screen with some other character (hint: Lovely Matsumoto-san) other then Iba or Kira. Other personal issue was, despite bittersweet ending, I kinda expected to show characters doing something after the whole incident, not just switch to final exchange between the two main characters and end the movie after one minute. But I guess movies are all like that.

P.S. Homura had nice legs.
