Bleach movie 2 : The DiamondDust Rebellion

Reviewed by kuro-hime

Don't worry, next week, I'll review Bleach movie 3.



Synopsis :

A valuable artifact known as "King Seal" is stolen by a mysterious group of people during the transport in Soul Society, Hitsugaya Toushiro, the 10th division captain of Gotei 14, who is assigned to transport the seal fights the leader of the group and shortly after goes missing.

After the incident, Seireitei declares Hitsugaya a traitor and orders the capture and execution of Hitsugaya. Kurosaki Ichigo refuses to believe this, and along with Matsumoto Rangiku, Kuchiki Rukia and Abarai Renji swear to uncover the truth and clear Hitsugaya's name. Meanwhile, a rogue Hitdugaya searches for the perpetrators and uncovers a dark secret regarding a lond dead shinigami.

Storyline :

The pacing of this movie is really good. Nothing feels out of place. In fact, the timing is pretty good. The plot of this movie is really nice and sad. The plot makes sense and it does not feel like a filler movie unlike the first bleach movie.

Music :

The credit song for the movie was just ordinary. I didn't really like that song. However, the backgroud music was wonderful. Whenever I hear it, I know something is going to happen. Not only that, the songs really adds the intensity to the movie.

Animation :
The animation was average. I don't find the animation anything special. I feel that anime art is always better than the movie and I wonder why... Are they trying too hard? Anyhow, same for bleach. I think Bleach anime art is way better than the movie. The movie somehow presses more on the shadowing and making the edges sharper. That slightly distorts the character features. Maybe, they are trying to make it look darker but I don't think that it's nice.

Characters :


toushiro Pictures, Images and Photos

TOUSHIRO HITSUGAYA
He is the main character in this movie. He is your usual tsundere character. He does the "leave me alone" thing and "this my problem, I'll deal with it on my own" thing. He hardly shares. He is a child prodigy and youngest captain of the Gotei 13. So yea, he maybe a little arrogant.



SOJIRO KUSAKA
In this movie, he is bad guy. Well, he died as a shinigami long time ago but he was reborn as a hollow in Hueco Mundo. And now, he is back for revenge against the Soul Society and Toushiro Hitsugaya. He feels that the Soul Society was unfair to him and that he is the true wielder of Hyorinmaru instead of Hitsugaya. FYI, he and Hitsugaya were good friends in the past.


ICHIGO KUROSAKI
Who doesn't know this dude, unless you been living under a shell for several years. He is the main character of the very popular anime series, Bleach. And well, of course, like any typical shonen main character, he is a kind hearted dude who cares about his comrades.

Review :

This is definately more awesome than Bleach 1st movie. This movie was awesome~! It had action from the very start till the end. This movie was quite intense that it kept me at the edge of my seat. As I watched, I was curious and wanted to know more. The action scenes were very satisfying.

But at the end, the action wasn't so nice when Ichigo interupted with his wise talks. Sometimes, I wish he talked less and let the fights just continue.
The background music was awesome because it makes more intense. This is an intense but nonetheless, it was good.

I rate it a 4 stars out of 5. Definately a must watch to all Bleach lovers and action lovers. Great movie with a great plot and kick ass fight scenes.
