Plot:
The plot is boring and has been done so many times the word "cliche" can't do it justice. It's your basic revenge plot were the main character (Toshiro) gets in a big huff and tries to sort it out on his own.
Animation:
This is a movie right? I have seen better animated filler episodes from this franchise.
Sound:
The soundtracks used were pretty decent can't really fault it there.
Character:
The main villain is a character from Toshiro's past. He is basically just your everyday run of the mill revenge character and if they spent a little more time developing his character (and his subordinates, almost forgot about them) it would've gotten at least a 6. Also the fact that we barely get to see Yin and Yang's powers or learn anything about them really pisses me off. It would have made it so much more impactful at the end of the movie.
Main things that annoyed me:
1. Where the fuck did Yoruichi come from? Not a single mention of her anywhere in the whole movie and then BAM, Shunko.
2. We are told right at the beginning of the movie that next to nothing is known about the Ouin then somehow Mayuri comes along and knows all of it's powers and capabilities (This at least could be understandable if it was Yamammoto who told us).
3. How Ichigo has to be big part of the movie. If he had sat out of this one and left it to the soul society instead of going and saving the day I could've enjoyed it so much more.
4. What was that Zangetsu scene for?
5. Most of all Ikkaku uses Bankai for no reason. His life wasn't in danger so there was no reason to reveal his Bankai, especially since it's supposed to be a big fucking secret.
In my opinion this movie was just a cash grab. They chose a character a lot of people like and thought, fuck it lets make some money. If you're a big fan of Bleach and don't want to lose any respect for it, avoid this movie.
Side note - This is my first review i apologise if i have missed any punctuation or used to much profanity. Thanks for reading.
