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.…

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…

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…

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…

I only recently got into Bleach like last summer so this is my first Bleach movie. I may watch older ones soon. This movie was made for the 10th year anniversary of Bleach and it was one hell of a celebration (bad pun intended, sorry).
Because the current anime is just full of random fillers I expected something slightly boring but after watching this I'm just assuming they sent all the good animators to the movie production because this was much better than I thought.
The movie itself was pretty unique, exploring the world other than soul society and Karakura town; hell. The original characters were unique as well and I was glad they looked much more developed with better designs than random arrancars and other characters.
Certain moments caught me off guard but it was well made nev…

To begin with I've seen only 2 bleach movies (that one and Fade to Black). As for Fade to Black I was a little disappointed, I expected a lot more from it but nevermind thats a review for movie 4 not 3.
So, for those who havn't seen the battle - Ichigo vs Ulquiorra this will be something like a spoiler so you better watch all the series before the movie.For those who have already seen it you will love that movie.Im not saying that the movie is about Ichigo battling Ulquiorra... Anyway it will also be a favourite movie for all Hollow Ichigo fans. You will see him in his full form and in action. You will also see a new form of Ichigo. And also there is a new badass character who appears in the beggining.
Almost in the all of the time you will be able to see amazing battles.(Not only Ichigo…

i cant resist to put ten on everything maybe just because i am a fan for life no addict type way but fun movie i would state yea the begining of the movie might be a little misleading
(spoiler) the fight shown at the bigning was not so much about the fight but ichigo's form that will later on in the movie will come into play.
and yes this movie has some moments that make you think i've seen this before in a bunch of other episodes have in them them i guess to but the bottom point is that if you like an action anime movie this may be one to consider it was fun to watch
enjoyable till it ended wish it had more action but there was a bit to much repeats fun but still repeats of moments other episodes oif the show have in them like ichigo helping spirts beating up punks in his neighborhoo…

Brains versus brawn. Brawn versus brains. Round and around and around they go ...
The most puzzling thing about shounen anime and manga is the distinct lack of heroes with both strength and intelligence, and nowhere is this more prevalent than in the long running franchises. All too often it's the villains who possess this combination of traits, while the hero is nothing more than a super powered idiot with a tendency to rely on guts and brute strength. Risk evaluation, cause and effect, strategy, and other concepts that have more than one syllable seem to be beyond the ken of the typical shounen protagonist, and while there are some vague similarities between them and the brutish heroes of yesteryear, at least characters like Conan knew how to plan and make traps.
It seems as though the…

So the newest Bleach movie, Hell Chapter/Hell Verse/Jigokuhen whatever you want to call it has been recently subbed. Of course since I liked the previous movies, I'd see this one. There are spoilers here, reviewing a movie without spoiling anything while trying to keep it interesting is next to impossible.
So read at your own risk.
Story: 6
The story was.. "bleh". Its not boring but its not creative and the twist is pretty predictable.
So these bad guys appear from hell but are still tied to hell by "chains" and after seeing Ichigo's full hollow form they're all like "oh yeh... he looks strong... lets go take his sisters and get him to break our chains" and they do that. So what does Ichigo and his friends do? Well they give chase obviously.
That's pretty much the basis of how Ichigo…

I'll admit, I had a blast watching this movie! It has a lot of cool fights and an interesting plot. The plot isn't all that unique though, that's the only part that is disappointing. If you've seen the anime Bleach, then you know how their 'arcs' go. Bleach tends to do the whole "someone gets kidnapped, Ichigo has to go fight a ton of people and then save them! The end." That's exactly what happens in this movie too.
It starts off with a somewhat of a flashback to when Ichigo fought Ulquiorra back in Hueco Mundo when he turned into a crazed hollow. That caught my attention because I honestly loved that fight, it was very exciting! Then after that we go to Karakura Town where Ichigo is living his regular teenage life, and you can all guess what happens after that. Some bad guys from hell s…
