im a huge bleach fan and i have to admit i was kinda mad when this got made and not an anime to finish the last arc of the manga i thought it would be horrible milking like so many was done before and robbed the fans of one nice last gift and closure.
But now that that is out of the way what an incredible live action anime/manga adaptation the way they did the action and rendered the hollows i was impressed the fighting was really good it felt fluid and not tacked on awful cgi as someone who grew up on bleach it will always have a soft spot on my heart and they really killed it on that aspect for me it was my biggest worry going in
i hope this gets turned into a trilogy and do the soul society & aizen arcs ( like many bleach fan the last anime arc would be best forgotten but the last manage arc :) )
great job on the casting everyone was pretty much spot on
(yes i know kon is missing and chad is supposed to be mexican but i have no problem with those over look same goes for rukias hair and why so many people hated it in the previews i thought it looked good and it was realistic same with ichigos hair the only thing that semi bothered me was a dark haired orihime since she is my favorite it bothered me but i liked the casting of the actress)
ost was good it's way different then the anime but overall i liked it and even added a few songs from it to my playlist but something about not hearing ichirin no hana dissapointed me to be quite honest but i think some of the changes were made to be different then the anime on purpose to set itself apart (since like i said some of the changes alterations add fans mad before it even finished shooting and came out) so in the end its maybe not a bad choice ?
TLDR
-If you loved bleach don't fear it it's pretty darn good if you can overlook some things and not be nit picky its not a 100% copy of the anime/manga does it's job as a nostalgic start to bleach and makes you wanna relive the ride all over again and scratch that itch in a different way then the anime/manga
If you aren't a bleach fan it's a pretty good introduction into bleach to make you decide if you wanna take the plunge into the anime/manga material
what was shown in the movie was condensed quite a bit and some things altered the the soul of bleach and the gist of it is there nonetheless
In closing
hopefully maybe a new generation of fans can fall in love with bleach and enjoy the heck out of it like so many fans did while it was on air and be on production
