Bleach (2018)

Zabimaru is fricking awesome y'all better watch till the end, best live action ever just because they added the sword.

Fmovies: I'm fan of anime series and what I just saw in this Bleach movie didn't disapoint me. I consider it an excellent pilot episode for the amazing sequels to come!

As a fan of the anime and manga, I was concerned about how they were going to condense the story into a film-length as well as the protrayal and interaction between characters. They took the right amount of creative freedom without losing the heart of the characters or story. In fact, the film wonderfully goes into more depth on certain aspects. Without spoiling, one character's interaction was different but did not break who the character is. That aspect is still growing on me but it's not bad. Overall, this film brought the story back to life and more.

Bleach fmovies. For a 'Live-Action' adaption from an anime-series, it was in my opinion a very well made movie contrary to my expectations.

Many movie adaptions, be they from games of animes, usually leave me dissapointed. This mainly while they can never really translate the story or feeling behind the original work as well on the big screen. Which made me very dubious about the quality this movie would be when I spotted it on Netflix today.

While Bleach (the movie) is not a cinematic master-piece like 'The Shawshank Redemption, or any other Hollywood movie in that regard, it should actually not be compared to those standards. While Bleach is a 'from-anime-to-movie'-adaption, it had me very sceptical at first. Those doubts where quickly expelled a few minutes in, when I really became engrossed and decided to grab a bag of popcorn to watch it with.

The story and characters were believable, and the typical japanese over-dramatical acting kept to a minimum. The movie tried to put about a seasons worth of anime into roughly two-hours of movie, and I got to say they did it quite well! Within the time constraints a movie is expected to last, and the budget they had available, I can positively say that this is the best movie-adaption of an anime-series I have seen to date.

This may not be the most enjoyable movie for those wanting realism, expecting a cinematic master-piece (or perfect copy/paste of the animes plot), or generally not into asian/anime-themed plots. Everyone else I would definitely recommend giving it a try, and seeing it for yourselves!

Characters look and act great. The music is good. Plot is good. Action is outstanding.

Easily the best live action movie I have watched so far.

This was so gooooooood. I fell in love with Bleach back in 2009. I was thinking that Netflix was going to mess Bleach up like they did with Death Note, but NOPE! It was literally perfect. Warner Bros did an amazing job with all the characters and they made sure that the story stayed true to the anime/manga. Please please please please make a sequel to this. I really wan't to see the Soul Society arch. Make it into a series if you have to. It would be an amazing series with 45 minute to an hour long episodes. Either way I'm really impressed with what they did and I hope they make the sequel.
