Bleach Movie 2: The DiamondDust Rebellion - Mou Hitotsu no Hyourinmaru

A surprisingly solid bleach storyline compared to the first movie that offers something for a bleach fan but not really anyone else. If your wish is to simply have more bleach this is certainly some of the more solid stuff the anime team created on their own.

The cast of characters are utilized well and many get time in the spotlight without ever taking over too much. Despite this being "Hitsugaya's movie" as many fans like to say it still remembered that at the end of the day the main character is Ichigo. The movie even offers some interesting insight into Ichigo and how he ... has chosen to deal with grief and loss (irregardless of how accurate that is to the manga) which was genuinely quite interesting to see Ichigo motivate another character for a change. Theres a lot of beautiful looking fights and a decent conflict for this movie. Nothing stellar or groundbreaking but certainly interesting for a bleach storyline as the movie involves the suspicion of treason from a captain. The investigation part is certainly more interesting of a way of filling out the story than what bleach normally does.

Ultimately the movie is a solid experience that gives you exactly what you came for, some bleach that isnt hideous like the anime was at the time it released as a result of the movie being made. One really does not need to go out of their way to see it, but if you just wanna chug some bleach you could certainly do a lot lot worse.
