First of which, this movie does the series a greater service than did its predecessor. Combining plenty of emotionally-charged battle sequences, twists, startling new revelations, and most importantly, Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya's endearing character development, this one surpasses its predecessor in almost every imaginable way. The animation conveys the somewhat dark and very emotional mood of the film quite brilliantly. As for the film's antagonist, one cannot help but feel sympathy for him when his full story comes into view. Unlike the TV anime's villains, Sojiro Kusaka is much more...human and there is a certain vulnerability about him. The way Toshiro Hitsugaya ends up casting aside the burden he chose to bear by himself for so long and open up a little more is also remarkable.
Although this is only the second Bleach anime film to be released to the United States, this one did a far better job than the Bleach movie that came before it. Not only are the combat scenes better, but the emotion that gives life to the story of this film is so much stronger and easier to understand. Truly a well-made anime movie. The creators of Bleach couldn't have done any better with this one.
Reign over the frosted heavens! Hyorinmaru!!!
