Bleach - The Movie - The Diamond Dust Rebellion [DVD]

This second movie for the Bleach anime revolves around the Captain of Squad Ten Toshiro Hitsugaya and his past. When the Ouin, a powerful artefact that belongs to the Soul Society's royal family, is stolen Hitsugaya goes missing and is accused of treason. This leads to the entire Soul Society to consider him an enemy but Hitsugaya feels he must do this alone as a memory from his past has come back to haunt him.While defiantly not as good as the previous Bleach movie `Memories of Nobody', this film is still greatly entertaining with some good fights and a good look into Hitsugaya's past. The film does have some continuity errors with the series proper but I will generally overlook these, as the story was still quite interesting and some great battle scenes. The voice acting for the English dub is probably on a par with that of the series itself but the animation is very good and in places is far superior to that used in the main anime.Overall, I think this was a very enjoyable film and well worth four stars although I am sure that fans of Captain Hitsugaya will mark it higher and those who dislike him will give it far less.

I really like Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya, as one of the supporting charter's in the Bleach universe he's ranked up there with Byakuya and Kenpatchi from the 13 court guard squad and I was pleased to see him in a film.The movie it's self was a bit lack luster for me, it felt like an episode that had dragged on a little bit to long but there's some nice cameo's in this one and we get to know a little more about Toshiro's past which is a nice plus. I wouldn't recommend the film for introducing people to the Bleach universe but for a fan of the manga/anime it's worth a watch. the movie score is what you'd expect from Bleach and the animation is great, they didn't drop the ball on that aspect. I just think more could have been done with the story lien and pacing of the movie.

The first Bleach Movie was well told, animatedly nicely and had nothing particularly wrong with it. However 'The Diamond Dust Rebellion' is better for a few reasons, it's more character based (sticking to the history of already well known characters rather than creating a new character).Much more action and in depth story this time around, all characters from the series 1-6 get involved! (except kon and the other Mod-souls)The animation is nothing special, what you would expect from the well animated episodes, however the art and background details have been beautifully created leaving some impressive visuals on your screen.What we have here is a much improved 2nd Movie that Bleach fans need to buy!

Great Movie for fans of the original anime, new comers will not get much sense from it as it's set well into the storyline, characters at this point are already well known and established so if it's your first look at Bleach then this probably isn't for you, the storyline is quite good and Toushiro . . .I mean Captain Hitsugaya fans will love the new material. Contains all the main characters with a few new ones, a few flash backs and scenes of Hitsugaya's past and of course plenty of epic fights.Anyone who's not familiar with the more recent episodes (season 7 onwards) beware because there are numerous spoilers, the story does not come from the manga but the overall product is very much Tite Kubo's styleI'd give it a 5 star (but I'm a Hitsugaya fan) most anime watchers would probably rate it more of a four star, but a definite great buy.

The box and disc itself was in great condition, but the disc was for the first movie in the series (Memories Of Nobody) and not for the Diamond Dust Rebelion

If you love the series then you will love this film. In this second film of the popular series Bleach, you get to see other characters other than Ichigo (sorry if spelled wrong), he is not the main character per-say in this installment. You get the same laughs, tears, emotions as you do in the series. The main thing is they stick to the story line and don't start wandering off the plot. It's a must have for your Anime/Manga collection! You will not be disappointed.

Already seen the movie in Japanese with english subtitles, therefore I believe it is worth buying the english version to see the difference. Great movie and plot.
