SynopsisA valuable artifact known as "King's Seal" ("Ouin") is stolen by a mysterious group of people during transport in the Soul Society. Toshiro Hitsugaya, the 10th Division Captain of Gotei 13, is assigned to transport the seal, fights the leader of the group, and shortly after, goes missing. After the incident, the Seireitei declares Hitsugaya a traitor and orders the capture and execution of Hitsugaya. Ichigo Kurosaki refuses to believe this, and along with Rangiku Matsumoto, Rukia Kuchiki, and Renji Abarai, swears to uncover the real mastermind of the stolen seal, find Hitsugaya, and clear his name. Meanwhile, a rogue Hitsugaya searches for the perpetrators and uncovers a dark secret regarding a long dead shinigami.

Bleach - The DiamondDust Rebellion is the 2nd movie of the Bleach series. As a fan of Bleach, I dare not write this review until after I've re-watched the movie twice to be sure I did not miss anything crucial. If you just want some recommendation from someone who have watched this movie, I would watch it if you've read/watched Bleach before, otherwise you should skip it.
Story:
The main spot light of the story revolves around Hitsugaya's past when he was still a student in the spiritual academy and how he (and his friend) obtained their zanpakuto. The movie is full of holes to me for a number of reasons. Please excuse my use of language in the following spoiler.
1. How the hell can Hitsugaya bleed from the start to the end? His wound was never treated, in fact it got worsen after the encounter with Kira and Hisagi. Speaking of Kira and Hisagi, what happen to them after they got beaten the crap out of?
2. How the hell can a noob (I am referring to Kusaka) take out the 8th squad caption, Shunsui Kyoraku, when he does not even have bankai? I understand it was a "surprise" to Shunsui when he took off Kusaka's mask. Don't say because Kusaka was in possession of the King's Seal, because if the Seal is that powerful, Kusaka would not be defeated in the end.
3. Who the hell are those two arrancars following Kusaka? The story never mentions how they meet up with Kusaka and why the two decide to follow him on his quest for "revenge". Were they attracted to his personality, his "dream", or his "beauty"? Nothing was mentioned at all!
4. Why the hell can't there be two users using the same zanpakuto? The rule, as the excuse used by the central 46, was a very lame one to get the friends to start fighting. If it weren't for the central 46, this whole incident would never have happened. Come to think of it, I should be glad that Aizen took care of those good for nothings.
The list can go on and even extend to some of the ridiculous battles but we'll leave it at that.
Art:
As to be expected from a movie, the quality of the animation is much better than its TV counterpart. Nice camera angles and detailed battle scenes definitely one of the movie's strong point.
Sound:
The production crew decided to reuse quite a few battle themes from the TV series that we are all familiar with. In fact, there was only one or two new themes beside the ending song. The music has a nice melody and suits the varies scenes that they are accompanied with. The only downfall for me was the ending which I had a very hard time accepting.
Character:
It was nice to see some of Hitsugaya's past and we definitely see his character develop as the story unfolds. Most characters in the TV series made an appearance, which was quite hard to do considering the number of casts. It was good to see some action from Soi Fon and Yoruichi, Byakuya, and Kenpachi.
What was lacking was some background information on the two arrancars following Kusaka and how did Kusaka just manage to get reincarnated in Hueco Mundo .
Enjoyment + Overall:
The story, those a bit slow at times, was very attention-grabbing. It was easy to follow, and made me think a lot at the same time.
I would recommend this to any Bleach fan out there, especially those who like Hitsugaya. However, if you've never seen Bleach before then this movie will be a pile of confusing BS since characters come and go very quickly. read more

Bleach: The DiamondDust Rebellion takes place in the Bleach universe, as the title may suggest. It focuses mainly on 10th squad captain Hitsugaya Toshiro, so if you're a fan of him, you'll enjoy this movie, and if you're not, you might not find it interesting. If you're neither of the former, like me, you'll probably enjoy it too.
The story isn't the most original story you'll see, as it follows the theme of revenge based off of a grudge from the past. Said revenge will be executed by obliterating everything. So there's nothing special in that department. Toshiro gets involved in this act of revenge because he has a connection to the man who holds the grudge against Seireitei. One day, the King's Seal, a mysterious and powerful artifact, gets stolen from right under the noses of the squad protecting it (the 10th squad), and Toshiro ends up missing. Now, events that may change Seireitei begin to unfold. And that's where the movie starts off.
It gradually explores Toshiro's past with the man who wants to take revenge on Seireitei with sporadic flashbacks, that doesn't make a lot of sense at first, but they become more and more clear as the events in the movie unfold, and you soon get to learn the reason behind this man's grudge against Soul Society. While this way of telling the story is not something unseen, it works very well with this movie, and does give it some extra tension and entertainment value.
Long-time Bleach fans will probably enjoy this movie because we get to see many characters we've not seen fight for a long time fight. Among others, there's Zaraki at his craziest, Yoruichi and Soi Fon with their Shunko, and Ikkaku with his bankai. Of course, there's a lot of icy fighting courtesy of Toushiro.
Another thing I believe long-time Bleach fans will find enjoyable is the animation quality, which is at the very least astounding. With awesome lighting effects, very fluid character movements and high attention to detail, it surpasses the normal quality of Bleach's animation by many levels. If I could, I'd set the score to 15/10.
The soundtrack is awesome as well, with astounding tunes that fit right into the mood of the movie, amplifying the scenes and events as well as a soundtrack should. DDR's soundtrack is one of the few that gets the honor of being downloaded to my computer.
All in all, if you're a Bleach fan, don't hate Toshiro, and if you don't mind a classic revenge-based story, chances are you'll enjoy this movie.
To 'Not Helpful' voters (and you 'Helpful' voters too): Feedback greatly appreciated =) read more

Well it does have a focus on a character at times and Naruto is like Ichigo trying to help him.

In the story of Bleach, you get a character named Ichigo Kurosaki, who is a substitute soul reaper with unbelievable strength...
Diamond Dust Rebellion, however, you see a character of the Soul Society named Toshiro Hitsugaya, one of the youngest squad captains on the force, and view his story in a new light of how he got his position. You also get to see that Toshiro has similar qualities to the main character of Advent Children, Cloud Strife--aloof, harboring guilt for past mistakes...
Diamond Dust Rebellion has quite a bit of action, similar to Advent Children. And what's good, you don't have to know the WHOLE story of Bleach to watch the movie (A few episodes would be good though).
