Bleach the Movie: Hell Verse (2012)

I typically don't like non-canon Bleach anime namely the movies and arcs that don't follow the manga. This, though, was rather entertaining. As the fourth Bleach film, it certainly is a step up from Diamond Dust Rebellion and is as good if not better than Fade to Black (though I am still a fan of Memories of Nobody). The story is interesting, there is a good dose of what every Bleach movie should have fluidly illustrated fight scenes and not a lot of wasted time of fuzzy, emotional appeals (the downfall of Diamond Dust Rebellion). And there is the added perk of finding out just what the world beyond that terrifying gate is actually like and believe me it isn't a cheerful place. The story also has a few twist that keep things entertaining. Bleach is at its best when showcasing all its cool abilities and fights and this movie puts them on display. Very entertaining, especially for Bleach fans.

A few drawbacks: 1. there is a woeful lack of other characters in this one. The core squad is all there Rukia, Ichigo, Renji, Chad, Inoue, and Ishida but the other big guns only get cameo appearances. Byakuya has an awesome entry, but that's it. One of my favorite parts of the series is seeing the whole gamut of characters get in on the action, so that is a little bit of a bummer. 2. As per usual, someone at some point pulls the "it's all your fault that we weren't paying attention and you suffered for it" line. Although, the saving grace in this instance is that Ichigo won't have any of it. Go Ichigo. 3. The ending is a *little* far-fetched. bet hey, it's Bleach.

If you watch or read bleach you know that Ichigo and his friends are always trying to rescue somebody. Well this time its Yuzu, Ichigo's little sister, and he has to go to hell to save her! I've always wondered if there was a heaven or hell in the bleach universe since apparently one goes to the soul society when he or she dies, but here we learn that hell is a place where the worst sinners go and there are a group of sinners who want to break free from hells grasp and are basically bribing Ichigo to break the very gates of hell in exchange for his sister's soul. I really enjoyed this movie, I would say it may be my favorite bleach movie so far. The animation is awesome, and I just think the concept is just perfect for a bleach side story. The bluray had amazing picture and sound, but featured very little special features. Just a small art gallery and a couple trailers.

Overall, awesome. You've been to the soul society. You've been to hueco mundo. Welcome to hell.

A group of men escape Hell briefly. In that time, they attempt to kidnap Ichigo's sisters. Chad is able to save Karin, but Yuzu is taken back to Hell when the kidnapper's are pulled back in by their chains. Chad is seriously injured while saving Karin, so Ichigo, Renji, Rukia, and Uryuu go to Hell to save her. The kidnappers are stuck in Hell because of the chains that bind them. They witnessed Ichigo's hollow transformation and they believe that he has the power to break those chains. They will return Yuzu if he cooperates. The battle in Hell is intense and the danger of never being able to leave is high. Especially for a weaker girl like Yuzu.

This is a good movie, but it's my least favorite Bleach movie. The other 3 movies had a pretty good bad guy. The 1st movie had a great character, Senna. You can really get into some of the enemies in the Bleach movies. This one is different. The bad guys are really stupid and have ridiculous looking bodies. The main bad guy is ok, but not very impressive either. The animation, action, suspense, and Ichigo's Hollow transformation are all as cool as you would expect. But this is definitely the weakest Bleach movie yet. That being said, I did enjoy this one, and I think other fans of the series will too.

Read Best Reviews of Bleach the Movie: Hell Verse (2012) Here

The Bleach franchise is excellent anime. This particular title has a few glitches in the subtitling and if you don't mind Japanese sound with English subtitles you will be fine. Otherwise the movie is visually astounding and the clarity if upconverted or just regular dvd is outstanding. Mild violence that is not appropriate for anyone under 13. Very good movie and great for the price.
