I Have been a bleach fan since it first started airing on adult swim and picked up on eng subs quickly i have seen all the bleach movies so far, and they all stand out in their own way..with that being said... The animation in the opening credits is Spectacular. A remake/replay of HOllow ichigo vs Ulquiorra from the original bleach anime these scenes are a perfect example of how far you can push animation with a big budget behind it..
in the opening credits Right after the bleach 10th anniversary logo you hear an eerie screech like sound affect (hollow ichigo) while the screen yet dark flashes an image .i had watched the movie 3 times before i spotted it.. If you read this check it out..it was hidden rather well as if put there to be subliminal ..and when i made out the image..honestly i was kinda creepd out ..it was Hollow ichigos mask.. with those yellow eyes staring right back at me..SCARYY!!...You can almost feel the murderous intent while watching the scenes and its clear that the strong, courageous,caring ichigo we had been watching all this time was not in control. This movie really put emphasis on that(CONTROL)
And how if pushed far enough Ichigo would lose all control and become What some Call A Vasto Lorde.. which Is what the arrancar consider the strongest of the hollow, extremely rare in number It is said that their entire number within Hueco Mundo can be counted with the fingers on one's hands. The combat capabilities of a Vasto Lorde are above those of the captains of the Gotei 13
Movie was great:P
