    I can easily say that this one is the better one . [ 8.9 /10 ]

    This is the fourth movie of the bleach. I just watched it and i liked very much. This one has more action and more furious . After watching all other movies of bleach I can easily say that this one is the better one .

    Nowadaws i always watch movies after and after but there is nothing that i taste good. They are always have weak scenarios, most of them waste of time. Because of this i started to watch anime series , and because of the anime series like bleach i will continue watch these magnificent works . There are may be no special effect but who cares once you taste it there is no way back :)

    In the anime series of the bleach there is always action but in the earlier movies of the bleach there are less action than this one . It is a good thing that they decided to make a movie such as the anime series and so I suggest you to watch this movie without thinking . If you already love bleach there is no more words that I need to say . Have fun .

    You cannot best my mighty dramatic POWERS!!!

    I have been a fan of Bleach ever since it first came out as an animated series. The first 50 or so episodes were golden, absolutely brilliant, because there was a clear goal in mind for Kurosaki Ichigo. Once the goal had been achieved, however, the show's entertainment value ebbed considerably. The entire show has just become another aimless soap opera for Japanafreaks.

    Unfortunately, this movie is no different from the usual Bleach stuff. It's VERY formulaic and really introduces nothing new. It feels as thought the writers have a template that they routinely just plug different ideas into and come out with the next movie.

    Allow me to demonstrate:

    ..........

    Ichigo chillin.

    "Oh noes! Someone needs help (insert victim here)." "Hey Ichigo, we're here to help (insert Ichigo's friends here)." "I'm your enemy Ichigo (insert new opponent here)!" "RAAAAAWWWRRRRR (insert Ichigo getting angry here)!"

    Fight begins. (Super-mega-ultra-power-blasts inserted here) Pause fight for enemy character development. (Insert storyline for enemy here)

    "My drama is stronger than your drama Ichigo!" (Insert enemy drama-blasts here) "Oh noes! I've been defeated!" (Ichigo's drama-blasts fail to overcome enemy drama-blasts)

    "What did you learn Ichigo?" (insert Ichigo's lesson here) "I will use my new knowledge to become more drama-powerful and defeat my enemy!" (Ichigo's drama level rises by 10)

    Fight resumes. (Ichigo's drama-blasts succeed. Enemy is defeated and all Ichigo's friends are saved)

    Ichigo goes home and resumes chillin.

    ..........

    And that pretty much sums up most of the Bleach episodes and movies.

    Again, I like Bleach, and I overall enjoyed this movie, but I feel at this point that the makers are simply not willing to move on with their story. I feel like the show has essentially been "paused" for some time now, and I'm just waiting for it to.. well.. DO something.

    Anything.

    This was the best film adaptation of the series and manga

    This film did not fail to impress me, I absolutely loved this adaptation of the series. This film is intense, demonic, action packed, and very quick paced with little filler. When I watched the movie from start to finish the first time I was so amazed at what I saw I had to take a minute to think. When the film jumps right into the action early in the movie, that's what I think is great in a film when it can jump into the action quick, when the sinners come out of hell and start fighting ichigo and the gang it's very exciting. But my favorite part in the entire film is when ichigos sister, Yuzu, has chains coming out of her chest and Ichigo goes Vasto Lorde and obliterates hell. I enjoyed this film very much, strongly recommend to any bleach fan.

    Ichigo does Hell

    I didn't expect more or less than what I got. Kurosaki finds somebody to protect from a powerful enemy, then goes and kicks their asses, usually spewing some gratuitous speech about not giving in to darkness. But it's fun. I really wish Ichigo wouldn't be the strongest thing there is, with his friends only there to take care of the evil supporting characters and I really would have liked him to win a battle without using overwhelming force. Alas, not happening.

    As for the plot, Hell looked and felt pretty cool at the start, but then it got pretty boring. The last fight was a bit disappointing as well. However the film did not descend into ridiculous and the storyline was more or less consistent. It does get annoying, though, when new realms are discovered periodically, with stronger and stronger enemies and somehow the shinigami, who are now totally puny and powerless, maintain that condescending superior tone and preach all the time. Maybe they should have been called sekkyogami instead.

    Ichigo's Inferno

    The fourth 'Bleach' feature film plunges headlong into mythological madness and comes out blazing. 'Hell Verse' takes the series' already vast supernatural world and pushes it further than ever before, venturing into the fiery depths of Hell itself. What follows is an explosive, visually stunning adventure that combines 'Bleach's' signature action style, which I always admired as a fan of the series, with a surprisingly weighty sense of cosmic punishment and redemption.

    When sinners too evil for Soul Society are banished to Hell, their torments are eternal until Ichigo Kurosaki, as always, gets pulled into the chaos. His journey to rescue a kidnapped friend becomes an odyssey through a realm inspired as much by Dante's 'Inferno' as by shonen spectacle. The film's depiction of Hell, a vast, shifting landscape of crimson skies, twisted architecture, and chained souls, is genuinely mesmerising, a fusion of religious symbolism and grandiosity inspired by, no doubt, the great Dante Alighieri himself.

    Ichigo, predictably overpowered, remains compelling because he's not untouchable. His power feels like a burden here, one that endangers his humanity as much as it saves others. That tension gives the film emotional heft beneath all the sword clashes and flaming gates. The animation, courtesy of Studio Pierrot, is lush and kinetic, and the battle choreography borders on operatic.

    'Bleach: Hell Verse' isn't just a side story; it's a full-blooded myth of sin, sacrifice, and salvation told through the language of anime spectacle. It's stylish, intense, and unapologetically dramatic - proof that even after years of hollows and soul reapers, 'Bleach' could still surprise with sheer imaginative scale.

      When Yuzu comes back to life and Byakuya leaves the tent to find medical help, a guard runs up and asks him what's wrong. This is the same man who was guarding Rukia and had the medicine dropped on his forehead by Hanatarou to knock him out in Season 2 episode 19 "The Shinigami whom Ganju Met"(episode 40 overall) of the TV series.
