pros
+ quite charming new character
+ more emotion than in the actual series
+ fighting and dialogue are more or less balanced
cons
- rather predictable and a little rushed
- antagonists fail
- doesn't dare go crazy

conclusion: looks like they tried to set this apart from the original series, and they succeed partly. the plot in itself easily makes sense in the end, but never quite goes crazy. the pacing is horribly inconsistent; it opens some smaller gaps it doesn't care to close; and in all its development, it's sadly very predictable, e.g. the antagonists are way too generic. however, the new character, whilst literally coming out of nowhere, is likable (won't say 'easy to sympathise with' as the movie is simply too short for that), and though the emotion doesn't get across to well due to the pacing, there is some of that; something the original series never quite elaborated on. fighting and dialogue are more or less balanced, and the animation's a notch above the usual level back then. it's an okay one to me, no must-watch, but probably a most enjoyable pastime to bleach fans.

This is in response to 'TITEE KUBO IS A FUCKING TROLL YOU FAGGOTS'.

Let me tell you that nowadays Naruto is lagging behind Fairy Tail with Bleach in second while One Piece is at the top.Bleach will reconquer the top position when Ichigo loses his fullbring powers(those don't read the manga will understand when he reaches the final form of his fullbring which sucks).This was for the animes.

But for the manga,surprisingly, Naruto is first with Fairy Tail in second position while Bleach is third(until the long awaited past arc on Ishiin).

The first bleach movie, what can i say it was good and i enjoyed it, The story was interesting it was something different and a change from the series. The dialogue was good and the Animation was great as well. The entertainment was good when it was on but it consecrated more on the story. The music was good it catches your attention and goes well with what is actually happening in the story line. It if you like a decent story line and good fighting scenes then give it a try, it has all of them in it and if your a fan of bleach you will enjoy it even more. First movie good job

In Karakura Town, there has been a sudden outbreak of unidentifiable spirits called "blanks" (vacant souls) while in the skies of Soul Society, the real world has been reflected. A mysterious female shinigami called Senna has appeared before Ichigo along with a man named Ganryu, leading a group called the "Dark Ones" overall the movie was good, but they seriously need to put more Kenpachi in the show. I loved when he made his entrance.It has a good story with too much talking. I liked the second movie of the series more. It justed needed little bit more action. (show less)
