This is the last Bleach movie released so far, and like all of them, I think it’s just okay. Which is understandable there simply isn’t enough time to tell a complete story that includes good fights, well-written characters, and an engaging plot. In my opinion, every Bleach movie is missing at least one of those elements, usually more than one. As for Jigoku-hen, it has some solid fights, but it lacks in the other departments, especially the storyline.
The movie begins with Yuzu getting abducted and taken to Hell. Ichigo and his friends head there to rescue her before she’s turned into a soul doomed to remain there forever. I’d say the beginning is handled well we jump into the story quickly but it doesn’t feel confusing. We meet the villains early and get a basic idea of their goals. But…

Hell Verse is one of the few non-canon shounen movies that I can unreservedly say is good and worth watching.
My experience with the overwhelming majority of shounen movies is that none of them really have an engaging story. As kids, we would watch them strictly because they held the promise of better animation than their afferent TV shows. But at no point did we ever think, oh, man, what an amazingly engaging story Naruto’s Legend of the Stone of Gelel had! Wow, the plot of One Piece’s Clockwork Island Adventure really kept me on the edge of my seat.
Besides, filler movies typically are put in the position of having to cover a lot of ground early on, since they have to introduce completely new characters and concepts in order to tell a, so to speak, fresh story. Consequently, the first…

Short review:
-Shiro Sagisu is literally a god -> Bleach OST Incantation [Complete Suite]
-The animation was very good.
-The voice actors were as always good
-The story wasn't really that good. The other movies were definitely better in this regard.
-The characters didn't really feel like Bleach's typical cast
The best thing about the movie is definitely the music, but I mean, it's Shiro Sagisu! His music is always great! The plot was nothing special, and the villain was not that good either. Also, the cast didn't really feel like Bleach at all. But the animations were pretty good, so it's definitely not a total disaster. I can definitely understand why Kubo wanted to remove his name from the credits!
Rating:
I would say on a good day it's a 7-8
and on a bad day a 5-6
So it's a 6-7 for…

Bleach Movie 4: Jigoku-Hen or Hell Verse is as the name implies a story that takes place in Hell.
The requirement for watching this movie is finish watching/reading the last battle against Ulquorra since it takes place afterwards. However, storytelling wise it is impossible to fit this movie to the main story but an argument can be made it fitting after Aizen's defeat in the anime continuation.
The main story involves sinners that kidnapped Ichigo's sister to lure him into hell as Ichigo possesses a power that can free them. With the aid of another sinner Kokuto, Ichigo and his friends enter hell to fight Shuren and his henchmen and free Yuzu.
The main appeal of the movie is obvious:
1. Finding out more about hell since it only appeared once in the story and nothing was done with it.…

NOTICE
This will be biased because this is the first anime that inspired me to go and look for more.
Anyway, let's get in. I first saw this when I was about 10 or 11. it was amazing to my little mind. And it inspired me to watch the entry of bleach and then I got into and looked for even more anime. this just does hold a special place in my heart. but on rewatch after many many days of anime and rewatch those shows as well. and just being a general weeb for years now. I see that this movie has some very highs and very lows. but down it was always a middle movie but because it did open anime to me I will not and can not forget it.

Kind of disappointing
[this review contain spoilers]
I watched a short clip of it before watching the entire movie. Got me hyped up seeing vasto lorde ichigo again since out of 366 episodes of the series they only showed this form once when fighting against ulquiorra. Also there was a golden skull form which i find very cool and I looked forward to seeing it in action.
Turns out vasto lorde ichigo just spammed cero without even moving and it was rather boring. When first appeared this form can do sword battles better. The golden skull form also didn't last long. It seemed more like a split second plot armor.
The story is also mediocre imo the first movie had a better storyline. The only up sides of this movie are : awesome forms, inoue isn't a burden, new cool realm. Other than that thi…

Here we are again, another movie, and another disappointment.
Wait, I am in awe right now. See, 3 ba movies in succession kind lead you down the way, pre-writing a template for your fourth and last review of this movie collection in a devastating tone of betrayal, just showing how much of a let down it was for me till this point, but this movie kinda slaps. Although, not as hard as I would have liked.
Story (7/10):
Some would argue that Bleach isn't your mindblowing literature epic as it tends to priorities the battler aspect of what makes a Shounen good and disregards everything else that would make it excellent. The past three movies failed miserably at maintaining the least amount of mediocre screening that the faith for this last movie was already clear and set, but reality was none o…

All too often I see that reviews base the worth of a movie on whether it brings something new to the table. This movie, it does have a similar formula to the entire series with a few exceptions - but unlike some of the other examples this movie does it very well.
In my personal opinion something does not need to be groundbreaking our standard-setting to be considered good - it just needs to keep you entertained through some combination of its traits.
Without a doubt, this movie accomplishes that. It actually adds a little more depth the the plot - the balance between soul society, heuco mundo, the real world, and hell. For the longest time I knew that heuco mundo was NOT the same thing as hell, but I wasn't really sure of any distinction - one thing this movie did right, though the coh…

out of all the Bleach movies, I wold say this one is the best one, only because the others have the same general idea and plot, where as this one is a little different. Saying that though, it was literally an hour and a half of one big battle.. I kid you not.
Now, give me a second here to sum it up with a few quotes from the movie:
"Hell!" "gates of Hell!" "Ichigo" "Yuzu" "Hell" "Yuzu" "Yuzu" "Hell" "Kokuto" "Hell"
can you catch my drift?
Now dont get me wrong, Im not saying I didnt enjoy this movie, I mean we also got to see another Ichiogo power up because apparently those are limitless, but in an anime such as one like Bleach its honestly to be expected. Just like the sudden disappearance of Kurosaki Isshin whenever things seem to be happening.

Bleach: Jigokuhen or also known as "Hell Verse" is the 4th Bleach movie to be realeased to date, since the anime was cancelled back in 2012, this could be the last one for a while...which is somewhat dissapointing to not leave off on a higher note. Not to say movie 4 was bad, but in truth it didn't quite forfill my expectations. That said, it still was a decent watch and i'll explain why.
Hell Verse is the latest movie to be released, and you can clearly tell from its crisp and beautifully refined animation. Everything looked very smooth and detailed down to the bone, especially the environment. More toward the beginning of the film which takes place in Karakura Town, the artwork is fantastic. The sky backdrop looks beautiful at sunset, and the town itself is fleshed out best as it has ev…

Finally we get to go down to hell! We had so many boring Bleach movies before. This one gets everything right! It's probably even better than the series (anything beyond the saving Rukia arc, that is).
Music is as epic as ever, the animations are very well done. While the story does mess with canon a bit, we don't really have any solid information on Hell itself in the world of Bleach, which makes this great!

*Please note, I’ll be typing this review with the intentions that all who read it are Bleach fans or are people who are very much aware of the events in the anime/manga/movies.
Bleach. The mega-ultra-super-fan-heavy-ultimate-Gurren-Z show that has introduced us into the charming worlds of Soul Reapers, Quincies, Hollows, Arrancars & Fullbringers has been delighting, and equally frustrating it’s fans (or rather Tite Kobe has) since 2001, gradually growing in strength ever so slightly, like a Spirit Bomb. At this moment in time (2013), I think that, as a Bleach fan, the series has never been better; it’s in this sort of “transitional period into maturity” place with how it’s presenting itself to fans ever since the anime finished. It feels really focused now, which is such a shame, for the…

Review 24: Bleach Movie 4, Hell Verse
Watch out Hell, Ichigo is on his way.....
Yet again....... (I need to come up with new intros), Tite Kubo has come up with another great Bleach film... But rumour has it this maybe his last one, if so then its been a brilliant send off to Kubo's series of films that are Bleach.
In the opening to the film we see a previous fight inbetween Ichigo and a Arrancar. This little opening to the film does seem pointless, as there are no Arrancars actually involved in the story line.
This scene is to indicate that someone is watching Ichigo once he's lost control of his powers. We soon learn that the person who's been watching him fight is the one that wants to use all of Ichigos powers and cause trouble within the world of the living.
In the beginning of t…

Bleach: Hell Verse, where should I start? For starters, this is the best Bleach movie ever. It has the most action, and the story unfolds really quickly. You know what's going on really quick.
Story- The story is really interesting. I'll try mot to give any spoilers. Ichigo Kurosaki must travel into Hell after his sister is captured by Sinners. Sinners are evil humans that cannot pass over into the Soul Society after they die, because they committed some kind of crime when they were alive. Along with Renji, Rukia and Uryu, he goes through Hell trying to look for his sister.
Art- The art really suffers at time on the DVD, but if you get the Blu-Ray, these changes should be fixed. For example, there were times where dark spots like shadows suffered, and times where the Soul Reapers cloth…

The last few bleach movies really haven't impressed me. They seemed a bit bland and rushed, just there to be there. This film is the first one that actually drew me in. It starts off with an amazing scene from the anime and injects its self well in to the canon. You really feel like you are watching something that is meaningful rather than something just made for a quick cash-grab.
I really didn't like when the character design in bleach got silly. When I first started watching bleach I really loved how everything looked and a while after he rescues Rukia the show just seemed to suck. It picked up with the arrancar arc and ended again after he beats aizen. Essentially, the show has some major ups and downs.
However, this movie, even though most of the villains have the horrible "one-pi…

Bleach Hell Verse or Hell Chapter is the forth movie in the Bleach series. And is personal one of my favorites. First off I am a huge Bleach fan. It's one of my favorite series of all time and the movies are great on there own. This Movie takes Ichigo the Main Character of the anime series To the depths of hell along with him and a few of his friends. To put it very simply Ichigo and his friends are at school when they are suddenly attacked by mysterious warriors dawning masks protecting there identity. After a fight breaks out Ichigo is soon drawn away to another fight in which he finds out one of them is kidnapping his little sister and taking her back to hell with him, He goes to stop them but is stopped himself by another person holding him back a man shows up and starts helping Ichigo…

It took two seemingly long years for Bleach to have a sequel from their very much successful third movie. Finally it is here!
Be it in the anime series or the films, Bleach has taken us to different breath-taking and magnificent worlds. And this time they will take us to their version of Hell. As always, the film is packed with overwhelming actions and non-stop fight scenes which is no doubt one of the greatest factors of Bleach that made it one of the best and most famous anime and manga series of all time. If in the previous films, Ichigo, despite being the main character, is not directly involved with the main plots but this time, Ichigo is once again the center of the plot as him and his family is being targeted by unknown creatures. Though, we’ve seen Ichigo loses his cool or down, w…

The latest Bleach movie to come stateside was released this past Tuesday and having just finished it I felt like writing my thoughts on it. The story is incredibly basic something akin to a DBZ movie in that it takes place in a fictional time after the Ulquiorra v Ichigo fight but before Ichigo returns to fight Aizen. That being the case the movie interestingly follows events similar to the series, the first episode that is, but after that comparisons stop. Ichigo must go to Hell to save his sister from a man that wants to be free from Hell. This story is the weakest of the four Bleach movies, but upon retrospect less is more in this instance. Why? They don't try to bog down the movie with establishing new rules for new characters that will likely be gone before the credits roll. The movie…

Actually there is nothing to tell since it is only a repetition of previous themes only in another setting... Someone has been kidnapped, Ichigo comes to the rescue, enemies have a power up, someone good was in fact evil, Ichigo saves the day in a new form - sound familiar, no?
This film has nothing new, just a few fancy explosions and nice soundtrack.

I love Bleach but their movies are oftentimes disappointing. For this 4th installment, it was kinda all out of sorts.
Story: 7 - Well, from the title itself, we know that it's about Hell... movie started out interesting, showing Ulquiorra's fight with Ichigo w/c had a little more detail and flair... then it jumped to the real world with the usual set of characters trying to find out what's going on in Karakura town... Shinigamis get into a fight and we meet new characters... knowing how Bleach goes, you cannot just trust anyone -- especially the ones who Ichigo gets involved with... anyway, so we get to see Ishida, Renji and Rukia (with a little Chad) fight... it was nothing special, really... aside from Ishida, Renji and Rukia's powers never "evolved" anymore so it was so boring... so as…
