Meh. Nothing more than fanservice. I had the most fun seeing Kisuke whip out Benihime for some combat, but the movie was mostly boring for me.

Easily the worst movie of the three. I didn't care for Rukia's long lost friends at all. On top of that, the whole movie felt rushed and the final battle was pretty much recycled from the DiamondDust Rebellion. I swear, Kenpachi has basically the same entrance in every movie.

A few good things: the close up of Yoruichi's ass. And the fight between Ichigo and Rukia was decent enough.


Also, Kubo needs to seek help for his memory fetish.

One of my favorite movies ever, the fight scenes were epic, and the animation was surprisingly great. Urahara owned with Beniheme and Kenpachi was epic. And I almost cried at the end 10/10 :D

It started out well, I must admit that I was really into it at the beginning. But it turned out so cheezy and contrived in the second half.
I liked the idea of a chain reaction induced by Rukia's memories' lost but this would have gained to be more develloped because it left so many questions in the end of the day. Heck, I was glad that the two main villains were from the Rukongai, I was expecting some devellopment about it and Rukia, but the flashbacks part was so bland and disappointing, and their reason to destrou Seireitei so lame, period.
Plus the fights in the supposed "big finale" were even lamer and pointless than in the two others movies.

I finally got around to watching this and the verdict is that it was an OK movie, slightly better than its predecessors.
As others have stated, it has a plethora of inconsistencies, both plot-wise and animation-wise. I disliked the elongated faces and strange looking eyes that some characters had, it made them look somewhat 'non-Bleach like'. What also annoyed me was the constant variation of characters' height.
Example:

Damn it, Soi Fon, you've grown quite a bit over such a short time span.

The honour of the most annoying part goes to Ichigo in replay mode: Rukia, it's me, ichigo, remember, Rukia, it's you, think, Rukia, do you still not remember, snap out of it Rukia.
All in all, it was a fine movie, nothing to write home about, but it delivers an hour an a half of enjoyable (albeit forgettable) fun and that is basically what bleach is about.

7/10 from me

P.S. LOL (and smirk) at the Yoruichi x Soifon moment, that was a pure fanservice, not that I'm complaining though.

lol who cares about that crazy captain >.<,but yeah he got his memory back long before everyone else.Did you not see the part where Urahara found his "backup brain"..lol.He probably just didn't care what happened next...he's known for that >.>
After Dark Rukia was defeated they split and she got her memories back,it's only right to assume everyone got theirs back aswell.It didn't need to go on anymore and get more -_- was an o.k movie,although #2 was better.

TBH, this film was much worse than the first two. It totally bored me, and aside from the action scenes, the animation never stood out. Most of the captain didn't actually do much, and the villains were sooooo lame, some of the worst villains I have ever seen in a Shonen Jump film, and that is saying something.

Comparing to the The Diamond Dust Rebellion it wasn't that strong, weaker plot, charas except for cool-looking Urahara-san as taichou, damn he suits this position perfectly and I've seen his attack that I haven't seen before! well can't deny that fact that I simply not Rukia-worshipper...may be it was the main reason why it wasn't that exciting movie for me

Good movie providing both action and feelz unlike Hell Chapter. Watched it for the 3rd time now - still great.
Awesome OST and fight scenes. The premise was also good. The downsides for were: this anti-climatic bigass monster and animation was unfluid sometimes.

No offence but how can u deduce that with the first movie still existing and is noted to be one of the worst....

Anyone bothered by the fact that in almost every Bleach movie, Soul Society always gets rekt despite the fact that they have top notch captains and that it's always Ichigo that comes to the rescue? He's a substitute shinigami for crying out loud! Would be nice to see the squads actually cooperating with each other and the Commander not making the wrong conclusions all the time.

The female antagonist was annoying because she kept crying and saying that she hated Shinigami for almost the entire movie. It wasn't until the very end when we find out about her past. I was pretty much like "Oh. Okay". Then the movie ended,lol.

The movie gets a 6/10 from me. I'm hoping the 4th movie will be a more decent one than this.

Really awesome movie!

So Rukia's friend who had no names (like Kenny and the pink haired girl) just wanted her to give them their names lol. Plus to be with her forever and had some crazy hollow bug in them, gross.

When do they ever have time to rebuild the Soul Society? It gets completed destroyed so often.

Basically the entire movie's plot could have been avoided if they talked to Rukia lol. At least it wasn't dumb like the previous movie, but it's still pretty dumb plot.

I love Zaraki. He is the best.

How are we gonna get in there? wait what's that? oh it's just Zaraki coming back from the dead to fight. Better use the chance.

The red thread of fate tying Rukia and Ichigo, what should I say, got burned down by the end of the manga?

-much in difference to the previous 2 movies, this one is showing LOTS of promise, and i'm only 5 minutes in ;w;!!!

Hisagi .w. !

Hanatarou 8D!

awh, poor Byakuya, he doesn't know what he's searching for -w-

....does he have backups for his brain _xD?!

of course he'd re-...oh, i thought it was Kenpachi -.w-.'

-i kinda liked the guy more, and woah; Fushion-


"what's this incredibly hard thing?" -Ken-chan 8D!!

unfh- that soundtrack during "Rukia" vs. Ichigo .w.


ohh... nice ending song ;w;
well, most definitively better than the previous two movies, it's like in a class of it's own when compared to those two, and now then- considering the movies only seem to get better for each one, maybe the 4th one will be really good -w-...?

but yeah, the plot of the movie had mostly happened at least twice already in the anime at this point (all episodes), so unfortunately didn't feel too completely original. -still, pretty darn good movie.

This movie was in no way bad at all, really decent story and class visuals.
I didn't really like how the route of Ichigo is initially the bad guy that was taken, I feel like it's milked in Bleach especially in filler (e.g - Amagai arc) but canonically this concept is used well and definitely has its place but when it comes to filler and other non canon content like this movie it seems a tiny bit overused

Was disappointed Ichigo used his hollow mask that much although he didn't really get into any serious combat with any characters as they were all allies and not true enemies, including that he had to hold back against that asspull fusion potaro evil rukia at the end.

One thing I noticed and appreciated was that the main antagonist(s) wasn't a big bad boss that Ichigo had to eventually overpower. It was more of an emotional battle although I do prefer that huge kick ass brawl style 'fights' this was definitely a nice and needed change for Bleach movies.

I'm personally not massive for Rukia, don't dislike her as a character just never really was that interested in her character and her fights, not to neglect the fact the she's essentially the backbone of the entire bleach story as she gave Ichigo her powers (on that note: it was great to see Ichigo return the favour to save her).
Felt like sharing a few thoughts on this - anyone else feel similar?
Side note: i've never wrote anything like this before so I can understand if anything I've said is disagreed with but each to their own.

Best Movie Yet!!!

I gotta say, I was really hyped to watch this movie ever since I read the plot. The very idea about everyone forgetting Rukia and Ichigo is a really good storyline imo. Before starting this, I was just picturing Ichigo fighting everyone he knew once again.....In a way I was kinda disappointed that not many fought with Ichigo, but hey I was really entertained by watching this movie and enjoyed it from scratch to finish!!!

Okay, the premise and animation were spot on but the execution of the plot felt convoluted by the end. Also, the fact that the two siblings were unlikable didn't help its cause. On the flip side, the extra focus on Byakuya x Hisana and the transition of the movie in the first half in addition to the two factors mentioned earlier was nice.

Honestly, a part of me felt like this movie was ultimately going for the mashup of the previous two movies. Here's to hoping Hell Verse will steer clear from that.

6/10 from my side. Out of the three, I would've to say this is likely the worst.

The villains were interesting. They weren't evil, they just thought that Shinigami are evil for killing them and separating them from Rukia. The siblings were never aware that a parasitic hollow was the culprit.

The final battle could've been better. I wish Ichigo used more of his power, but I guess he can't go all out against Rukia. At least it didn't feel like filler for me. 8/10

Bleach Movie 3: Fade to Black!
I really enjoyed this just like Memories of Nobody.
Plot was was pretty simple but also interesting enough.
Two antagonist motivation was understandable, quite emotional story.

As always we got our Fanservice: Kenpachi going berserk!

Didn't expect to hear Kamiya Hiroshi and Aya Hirano in Bleach.
Also there are no Orihime, Uryu and Chad.
That was unexpected.

Overall solid good Bleach Movie!
