| Easily the best of the three Bleach movies. Dragged in a few places, but overall it was pretty enjoyable. Totally seeing this one in the theater when they bring it over here. |
    |
| I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical going in on the movie after everything the series has gone through the past couple of years. But I have to say this has to be the best of Bleach Movies. 9/10 |
| 5/10 Story started exciting, ended up boring and trying-too-hard, and the only reason to ever be a little bit excited about it is if you were a Rukia-tard like me. There was a lot of potential to make the story and villains better, but hey this is Bleach we're talking about. The problem (one of them, really) with Bleach is that it has too many cool characters, and when they try to fit them all you can only see them use 10 seconds for each. It could be better if they showed less characters and tried to flesh a few out better than fanservice the fans of each by making them go bankai for a moment. You can see they didn't try too hard with the animation, either. The fight scenes are of course fluid and decent (this IS movie) but the character designs are very inconsistent. Ichigo seems to have had 5-7 different designs in this movie alone, and Rukia's enormous eyes were very weird to stare at. All in all this is good for ichiruki and rukia-tard fans, but this movie shows the lack of motivation the staff possessed when doing it. Besides the fight scenes and the great ending sequence (with Porno Graffitti!), there's not much to salvage. God Kon should've stayed on the real world. |
| Awesome Movie! |
 |
| Shinigami vs Cthulhu.........awesome |
 |
| I didn't think it was too great to be honest, nothing compared to the last 2. I did like the animation and the fighting as always was cool, but otherwise it was kinda meh. But overall I've gotta say I did enjoy it... 7 out of 10 i guess, 8 if I'm in a good mood. |
 |
| 8/10 just cause I like Ichiruki...hahaha. Yes I am weak against seeing so many gushy moments between the two, although some of it was pretty corny. I also didn't buy that ichigo would remember rukia but not renji; both of them have very deep ties to her. about the twins: umm guys the movie explained why she had no recollection of them, its because she forgot them due to the hollow's special power. Although Rukia crying so loudly in the end was a bit out of character for her. She's less emotional on the outside and keeps it all inside. |

vindemon64 said: Wow...this movie was pretty bad from start to finish. Some exciting battles, but nothing consistent. Seriously, I mean, why was Ichigo able to remember Rukia? He went to sleep and when he got the visions, he remembered, but when other people got the visions, they didn't remember. That was totally inconsistent. Kon was such an annoying character throughout the entire movie. He just seemed out of place with the entire seriousness of the plot, with his pathetically forced comedy scenes. Also, I found the the girl (Homura, as her named was revealed) to be quite annoying and the writers could have done a better job with her backstory. But that's not to big a deal I suppose. Well, at least we didn't have an excessively emo Toushirou throughout the entire movie. And lol @ Matsumoto having like two lines in the movies. That's what you get for trying to force every character onto screen. At least they wisely left out Inoue, Chad and Ishida. And I love how this movie totally disregarded the relationship between Urahara and the Shinigami. He was a traitor. His crimes were pretty offensive to them. I highly doubt they would have taken him for truth as much as they showed. But this was a fan-service movie, so that could be forgiven. Lastly, THIS movie should have been named "Memories of Nobody" instead of "Fade to Black." It fits perfectly. :/ Anyway, final 5/10, and that's being nice. I don't know, maybe its because I stopped watching the Bleach anime a long time ago that I was expecting more of this movie. *Shrugs* death1001 said: It was aright. Memory's of nobody is still my favorite. I think the best part was watching Urahara fight I just wish it had been longer and of course all the other fights were cool as usual. But the story just never got me excited. 7/10 ^ This. ^ This. |
| Pretty good movie, I actually preferred the merged Rukia as she wasn't so damn helpless in that form lol. When Zaraki showed up in the beginning I was like "Wow, I forgot you were even a character in Bleach!", too bad that was the end of his role in the movie. At least we got to see some Urahara bad assery, wish we could see it in the actual anime... |
 This Fairy Tale Is Ending |
| When I watched the trailer for it, I kind of assumed that all of the captains would go all bankai and try to fight against Ichigo. What I imagined was helluva lot better then what I just watched. The captain scenes, fight scenes, and awesome ending song were the only things I really enjoyed. Some other parts were alright, what annoyed me most was the end when Rukia got all upset and then it started to rain. Ugh. I gave it a 7/10 but I think I'm being a bit too generous. I'm tempted to lower it, but those fighting scenes made it all the more worth it. |
VEE said: Among the three movies, this movie does have the best action and fight scenes. Agree. At least we got to see almost all of the captains fight and I really apprechiate that. Also there was Kisuke too so I'm completely satisfied with it. |

sayami said: Agree. At least we got to see almost all of the captains fight and I really apprechiate that. Also there was Kisuke too so I'm completely satisfied with it. that was actually retarded. -_- we saw them only 10 seconds per captain -_- as in the first or second movie -_- they should make a movie concentrating on a captain or 2.... to make some character development... wait they need to do this in the anime |
| pretty much an okay movie, but if you want me to compare with others, memories of nobodies still on the top with the great emotional approach. This probably came equal with Diamond Dust Rebellion in second. Great battle scenes, and fuck yeah they make Urahara-taichou appear. he and benihime is goddamn awesome !! Good antagonist seiyuu with Aya Hirano and Kamiya Hiroshi, but a little too much Hirano and I need more Natsume Takahashi, er, i mean Kamiya Hiroshi !! Overall, i give 8/10 |

And I meant that how they worked together and I don't really mind those 10 seconds for each one, I'm just glad we actually saw them fight. Better than nothing I think. |
|
| The best parts in the movie was with Urahara and Kenpachi. Kenpachi is just priceless!!!XD |
| BLOWFISH! |
| I loved this movie, and I'll love it even more when the english dub comes out and I watch it. |
| +100 points for Urahara awesomeness. Can I get a FUCK YEAH? And I was waiting for Kenpachi to do something crazy awesome, and I wasn't disappointed. ^_^ Very enjoyable, to say the least (so I won't be repeating awesome, haha). :] @LOL after the credits when no one came to save Kon. xD |
NoyaChan said: OMG I LOVED IT. <3 IchiRuki. <3 Yes. Bleach is my favorite all-time anime and IchiRuki my favorite pairing so I basically agree with everything good that's been said about this movie in this topic ^^. I don't see how the first two movies were better than this one, the first one was a side story, amazingly built but totally unrelated to the main plot, and the second one was some background story on one of the captains and some fights which included him. So personally I wasn't surprised by the lack of plot/character development, that's just not what Bleach movies are about. The animation was damn good and I just loved the art. I actually thought their faces were really expressive and I know someone in a review mentioned something about the shoulders... I don't see any problem with them!! It's the same damn cool animation style they in the anime at this point [ep 240]! And the plot... Don't get me started <3 *_*! I looove Bleach flashbacks, I like seeing captains fight [Urahara rocks and Kenpachi's a beast], I have a thing for Kon :P, but seeing Rukia fight against Ichigo got me speechless O_O. I think I've been waiting for a reason to see that happening from like ep 3 or 4!! The only thing I can complain about is that Rukia remembered Renji first instead of Ichigo >_<. So yeah I loved this movie, it had a lot of IchiRuki-ness [maybe a bit fanservice too but who's complaining?], I'm gonna re-watch it many times I guess and I gave the second movie a 9 and the first movie a 10, I'd give this one an 11 but I don't think that'll work ^^! |

| I could never tell why all the bleach movies are titled so uniquely, until I want until the very end and then they explain it so I go "ohhhh so that's why they call it that", and it's so freaking suiting as a title for the movie. They same was for "Memories of nobody" as it was for "Fade to black: I Call Out Your Name" |
| Comments as I watch: 1) Ichigo falling into Soul Society - why are the authors forgetting about shunpo when they see fit? Two seconds after he falls from the sky and crashes into the ground he uses it to appear near Kon. >.> 2) Oh come on, was it really necessary to go hollow the second danger appeared? He could at least TRY normal Getsuga instead of mask+bankai at the first opportunity. 3) Ichigo should get his eyesight checked - only 1 out of 6 getsugas actually hit that guy. Not to mention that after getting hit by the SHARP edge of his blade, he's flung away without even a scratch. Is he like Kenpachi now? 4) Toushiro: "I don't like that." Ukitake: "What?" Toushiro: "Everything. Including myself." - I rotfl'ed. 5) If there was no Rukia, Soi Fon has not fought with Yoruichi and has not forgiven her yet. Seems like they forgot about that little detail - Yoruichi wouldn't go back to Seireitei had Rukia not been taken so Soi should still be mad at her. 6) Renji to Ichigo: "There's something I need to ask her. Why are you doing all of this to save her?" I have a better question - why are you calling Ichigo "her"? 7) If I ever read fanfics about vampire or arrancar Rukia again I will always imagine her like that - simply awesome (if a bit too pale)! 8) What the hell did they do with Shunko?!?! Soi just glowed with blue aura ffs! It's supposed to be strong enough to tear her gear, and last time I checked it was showed as flame-like reiatsu coming out of shoulders and back not some puny glow around your body! 9) Kenpachi's awesome as always, but was he supposed to be bleached? Yachiru's pink-headed as usual, but Zaraki looks like he got printed in black&white. 10) Was that Kisuke's bankai or just Benihime's attack? "Rend it asunder, Benihime" sounded great. 11) Crying plush toy frozen in some white'ish goo was just too much... 12) Lol, when that little blue light started pulsing and expanding I was half-expecting an explosion big enough to level that goo-tower and it just vanished... :P 13) Heh, all in all it was a really good movie. That said, if it really happened before winter war Aizen would have a field day - over 2/3 of Seireitei seemed to be destroyed and all important people went chasing after a single intruder. Not to mention that without Rukia's execution noone would suspect that Aizen is up to something even if he appeared in front of them. It was said somewhere in the past that the force of 10 Vasto Lordes could level Soul Society alone. From what we know they would need much less - two children from Rukongai and one hollow almost did it on their own and the hollow was a frickin' adjuchas at best. |
| I got irritated with everyone at the beginning <.< great movie overall . |
 |
| Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesey movie. Urahara was amazin' as always. Kenpachi was a beast. It's was alrite. Nothing special. |
 |
| Meh. Left lots of things unexplained or, that they haven't really delved into, like whatever Kurotsuchi made in the beginning that strengthened Shizuku's power, and how he, Homura and Rukia all met in the first place. And well, why did Urahara wear the Captain's robe? And how'd he get through the Senkaimon (since before it was implied that he couldn't pass)? Just...LOLwhat. Uh, it was okay. Made of cheese, but alright. I liked the trailer better though, and I felt a little like I was watching the SS arc again rehashed at some moments. ETA: Oh yeah, but I did really like the new music for this film. :D |

| Ok this movies was actually better than I expected. Some people were like its just "remember me Rukia?" Its far more intricate than that, it was so far the best film made for Bleach. Its the best of a bad bunch, however it was still damn good. I did not realise that Urahara was allowed in SS again though, that did not make sense, seeing as he was prohibited from entering. I remeber earlier in the series he tried touching the gate to ennter SS and it just rejected him. Nevertheless. It was a good film, the fights were brilliant, you can tell it was really put time and effort on just from the shading on the characters. If only Bleach animation would be like this, boy am i ambitious lol. It was a good film, albeit a generic storyline it managed to pull it off. Which is what Bleach is all about right guys!? :) |
| So why could those kids apparently teleport (or whatev)? I think that confused me the most out of the plotholes, especially since they drew attention to it a lot throughout the movie ("You don't move like a Shinigami. What are you!?" /paraphrased). |
 Rukia.. |
 |
| It was not as fast-paced as I thought it would be, but it was still a good movie and better than DiamondDust. The animation is seriouly the best Bleach has seen yet and the action scenes were superb (short though, I wanted more Kenpachi and Hisagi). The ending is definitely the highlight of the movie. Overall the movie excels in the soundtrack (usual bleach aweosme music), Animation and Kenpachiness, albeit not much. The rest was average. |
 |
| It's great. But some part confuse me. But overall it's totally amazing. Kon has lots of scene in this movie |
 |
| Awesome: Urahara, music, animation. Do want longer fighting scenes. Biggest fail: Dark Rukia == Rukia Vampire-ish. It was pretty funny to hear Hirano Aya and Kamiya Hiroshi in another role. Ichigo was pretty cool this time. I have to agree, the talk with Rukia and Ichigo at the end was cute. This one scores the same as the second movie at my list, the first movie being the best. Rofl, Kon at the end. |

| Dutch anime blogger with a love for Ikuhara's antics and proper storytelling. |
| I loved the animation quality of this movie. It was nice to see Urahara in action with all the other Captains... and Kon! xD I didn't like the bad guys. |
| Pretty decent movie, better than the first 2. Storyline was decent (even if the memory loss part is overused everywhere) and the action was very good. End was a bit over-dramatic though and the characters looked a bit odd at times I thought. Overall I'll give it 7/10 |
 |
| That was a rather boring movie for me until the Rukia vs. Ichigo part. I was only kept in by the amazing animation. |
| Fuck yeah! Urahara in action XD |
hirahira said: Orikasa Fumiko is good at screaming Seeing Rukia cry was sad ;_; But the way it suddenly started raining like that was really lame. I love the soundtrack <3 7/10 This Orikasa Fumiko scream > Hirano Aya scream |

LanEvoXRacer said: There are things I do not understand, and they are: 1) How was Kon able to remember Rukia from the start? It is not like there connection was that great as Ichigo. 2) How come when Zabimaru materializes in this movie it looked completely way different than the Zanpaktou rebellion? The one in the move is actually a baboon and a snake, but in the anime (arc: Zanpaktou rebellion) it is a lady baboon and child snake. Can someone explain this to me? Thanks! Overall, I thought the movie was alright. I just did not like the fact that the sub-villain is some overload jizz. 1. It might have something to do with the fact that he isn't alive (he's a plushie), or the fact that he is a modified soul. And for one of those two reasons, the hollow's power doesn't effect him. 2. The zanpakuto rebellion isn't cannon story. The way Renji's zanpakuto materializes in this movie (and in the soul society arc) is the way is was suppose to. The baboon with a snake tail is what appeared in the manga during the SS arc and the zanpakuto's spirit is male not female. So basically the anime filler just messed things up. |
