Bleach: Fade to Black, I Call Your Name

Bleach Movie 3: Fade to Black-S1E1

The movie is rather worthwhile to watch. So I'm going to try not to spoil for anyone so you guys can watch it for yourselves. First of all, the story was mediocre. It didn't really contain the BANG! Movie watchers would want to have and even seemed unworthy of the long wait for the subs to come out. However, I loved the art. As always, Tite Kubo is a great artist, although his story might not be great, looking at the characters is always cool. The sound was not especially good, and I wouldn't say it was too bad either. I'd give it a fair really, if you ask me. I much rather the action scenes have more boom and bang but it was okay. Diamond Dust Rebellion had to be one of the better movies, until now. The storyline is both interesting and enjoyable, reminding the viewer of the eventful days when Ichigo first stepped into soul society. The only downside for me is the lack of appearance of Ichigo with his hallow mask.

(2008) Bleach- The Movie 3: Fade To Black (In Japanese with English Subtitles) FANTASY/ ACTION/ ADVENTURE In order to enjoy this, one would have to enjoy the first 200 episodes of the television series where the basic theme has an average teenager inhibiting grim reaper like- powers to protect peoples souls from going into a negative dimension or to protect people from 'hollows'! What I like are the weapons and the fights which 're mostly swords that have their own personalities with unique capabilities. In this third part of the film has the whole 'soul society' or people who're connected to it, receiving amnesia! Everyone gets affected with this amnesia from the other world except the main character Ichigo, and he investigates! As much as I love the Japan animation series- this one feels exactly like that, in which some of the episodes are more entertaining or delving into familiar territory which meaning that it's been recycle already, at least somewhere from the first 200 episodes!

This was a fairly touching story and finally, one that felt like it deserved its own movie as opposed to being covered over a few episodes of Bleach (or Naruto, for that matter). Typically, with either anime's movies, my criteria are a good story and solid action. You would think the writers would have it easy since they don't need to do much character development but no, typically one or the other or both are quite lacking. With Fade to Black, it's the action. Apart from the start and end of the movie, most of the fighting involves Ichigo vs. the captains. Again. They really need a new battery of villains, or even heroes, since the latter seem to be always fighting each other anyway.

I cannot explain it easily. I was waiting for this moment for a long time. I over sold it to myself without knowing the plot or the quality. I assumed it was going to be great since it was named 'Fade to Black'. Only great things are named 'Fade to Black' is what i told myself. After watching episode 125 I was ecstatic for it. And then halfway through I was nearly ready to be disappointed. It seemed just like a normal episode. Right until the last 30 minutes. Then the cogs of the movie started working together. Everything was an amazing blend of many of the character's interactions to the plot itself and why it was devised like it was. I can't say much without spoiling it, so I am just going to say watch it after 125 and be amazed (pay close attention to detail, otherwise it will seem normal to you too).

A cinematic, anime masterpiece. If you love the Bleach series, then this is a do not miss movie! All of our friends come together, directly or indirectly, to help save Rukia Kuchiki and the soul society. Don't miss this exciting, action packed Bleach movie!

This Bleach movie was reasonable enough. It did not feel like something ad-hoc, made to fill some interseason space, the story was interesting and the action intense. They used this memory loss/change later in the series, as well, with less effective success. The plot is that two weird kids come to Soul Society and steal Rukia. In the process Mayuri loses his memories and everybody seems to forget Rukia. All except Kurosaki Ichigo who, this time, cannot just storm in, reveal some new power and blast through. This as well as the drama of having to fight your own friends added some volume to the story. Bottom line: one of the better Bleach films, although the technical details were a bit extreme and hard to believe. There is a science of soul reaping, you know... you can't just technobabble away :)

I happen to like this film, seeing Rukia Kuichki lose her memory because of two strangers entering Should Society. They let loose a weird creature which somehow erases memories leaving only a few factual tidbits behind in order for them not to become suspicious. When Ichigo feels uneasy about this situation, he embarks to Soul Society with the help of another named Urhara. An ex Captain who is exiled to the real world because of mitigating circumstances surrounding a secret experiment. When one of Soul Societies Captains loses his memory he feels somebody is out to get him, and goes completely insane in his lab. When he is finally locked up all eyes and ears turn to Ichigo and try to hunt him down because they cannot remember who he is. Ichigo and his little friend Kon begin to find out what has been happening to Soul Society, and finds a way to let the others know as well even though they still want to capture him. Urahara then embarks to Soul Society and lets the others know that Ichigo is telling the truth. Which causes a large manhunt for the true invaders. Rukia on the other hand still doesn't believe she is Ichigo's best friend and tries to kill him. With the help of Rukia's adopted brother Byukia, she finally comes to grips and remembers her past and her link to the strangers. A wonderful movie about family, and the tragedies that sometimes follows those who are unlucky in life.
