Bleach: The Movie 4 - Hell Verse [Blu-ray]

Well there is not much I can say about this anime that u can't just go read about on ur own but I'll do my beast. ^_^'Ok boy can see ghosts, some ghosts eat other ghosts so there r other ghosts that stop the bad ghosts from eating the good ones, boy meets girl good ghost that gives him the power to become like her so that he can fight the bad ghosts.I know that the bad ghosts r call something and r a little different than just ghosts and that the ones I'm calling good ghosts r called something else also.I'm just trying to make it simple here ok. ^_^I really do love this anime just don't want to go into great detail on what is what when someone just wants to know the basics of what they maybe buying even though if ur looking for a anime u most likely already know what ur looking for or buying if ur here.If I'm wrong about anything I've said then I'm sorry. -_-,

After watching Movie 4 it has become my new second favorite Bleach movie prevoiusly movie 1 was second favorite with Movie 2 being and still is my number one favorite. Movie 4 does have its pros and cons which I'll list below.Pros:1) The Story is so good it keeps it at the edge of your seat threw the hole movie you can't wait to see how Ichigo and his friends are going save Karin and Yuzu from their kidnappers.2) The Music is outstanding, Shiro Sagisu did an awesome job picking songs from the show and 3 other movies to mix in with the new songs he composed for Movie 4.3) The Voice acting in the english version is beliveable and full of emotion, Ichigo's VA for example does a fantastic job of making Ichigo sound like he is really cares about what happens to his sisters ,his VA is so beliveable and full emotion in his performance you'd think Karin and Yuzu where his real live sisters.4) The Picture and sound quality are outstanding I could see ever gorgous detail clearly and hear every litttle sound perfectly on my 42 inch 1080P Sanyo HDTV.5) the animation is outstanding,it is very fulid and detailed especially during the fight scenes.Cons:1) Viz messed up the subtitle tracks, when you pick the english dub with dubtitles you get the movie in english but with subs for the japanese version I tried to change it with the subtitle button on my Blu-ray player's remote once I started the movie but Viz made it so you can't do that for some reason.2) Again Viz has forgotten to put music on the menus ,I don't why know every since the Rurichiyo arch dvds Viz all of sudden stop putting music on their dvd menus.3)Viz could of given us better special features then the two art galleries like a interview with the english dub cast and crew about their work on the movie,a blooper/gag reel , A commentry track with the english dub's ADR director and some the voice actors.4) I loved the story but I have two problems with it . one being where is Issin and how does he not noice when Karin are Yuzu have been kidnapped, Why didn't they have him help Ichigo instead of useless Orihime. Maybe this movie came out in Japan before the episode where Ichigo finds out his dad is a Soul Reaper aired and the writers wanted leave that special moment for the anime.Two being the Lack of Toshiro and Masumoto two of my favorite characters who appear in like two scenes the whole movie and do nothing to help Ichigo and his friends.5) they finallly show Rukia naked but it's a let down because they only show her naked for about 2 or 3 seconds and you can't enjoy it like you could the Masumoto and Orihime bath scene in the animeThis it for list of Pros and Cons for Movie 4 and I recomend this movie any fan of Bleach who hasn't seen it yet it well worth the money you'll spend on it because it still is a very enjoyable movie even with it's faws.

If you watch or read bleach you know that Ichigo and his friends are always trying to rescue somebody. Well this time its Yuzu, Ichigo's little sister, and he has to go to hell to save her! I've always wondered if there was a heaven or hell in the bleach universe since apparently one goes to the soul society when he or she dies, but here we learn that hell is a place where the worst sinners go and there are a group of sinners who want to break free from hells grasp and are basically bribing Ichigo to break the very gates of hell in exchange for his sister's soul. I really enjoyed this movie, I would say it may be my favorite bleach movie so far. The animation is awesome, and I just think the concept is just perfect for a bleach side story. The bluray had amazing picture and sound, but featured very little special features. Just a small art gallery and a couple trailers.Overall, awesome. You've been to the soul society. You've been to hueco mundo. Welcome to hell.

So, in this movie we get to explore Hell. Of which we've only seen the gates once back in Ichigo's early days as a substitute soul reaper. Of course that glimpse had left me curious...well now I am pretty satisfied on that part. We certainly do learn a lot more about Hell and how it works. Rukia and Renji both explain about soul reaper's involvment with this prison, that was a tidbit completely new and interesting to find out about. The animation and sound were crisp and clear. The fight scenes were spectacular, fast paced and more intricate than usually seen in the serial anime, and that's a given for a movie. However, because this was made before the end of the war with Aizen, a couple of the battles just (SPOILER---rehashed our hero's techniques and the counters to them. Aside from seeing darn near apocalyptic superpower from a hollowfied Ichigo, an example would be the cutting off of Ichigo's hollow mask's horn just like Ulquiorra did to stop him, and Rukia's battle that almost mirrored her fight with the ninth espada in Hueco Mundo. End SPOILER) In that regard, excepting seeing the abilities of the bad guys in Hell, those two battles weren't that interesting because they weren't different enough from what I'd seen before. As for the rest of the battles, they were pretty good, especially the last one where Ichigo goes back for his friends and a surprising thing happens to him. You'll just have to watch to find out about that! Overall, I did enjoy this movie, and if you are a fan of Bleach and liked the other movies, I believe you will enjoy this, too.

This is the fourth (as I recall) Bleach movie, and the strongest installment. It's the only movie that was introduced in the anime series, in episode 299. Too bad that wasn't included as an extra. Ichigo's younger sister Yuzu is captured, and Ichigo, Uryu, Rukia and Renji must go to Hell to rescue her before she dies. Kokuto (a prisoner in Hell) takes them there and helps them get to Yuzu. There are a number of plot twists before the story is resolved. The English dub is solid, but I recommend checking out the original Japanese audio at least once, as the voice actors put so much more emotion into their roles. That comes from having more time to learn their lines and the character background, Bargain price, and on blu-ray and dvd to boot! You can't go wrong here. It's a pity the first seasons haven't been remastered for high-definition, because many of the visuals are spectacular, and it's such a good series. Even the filler arcs are worth rewatching.

Just finished Bleach Hell Verse and it was awesome.Great story and visuals. I really like how the Bleach movies are evolving with the anime series.I rate this movie right behind Memories of Nobody.Is it just me, or does Rukia sound different?

Another anime series that I love and was very very sad to see end. I have the other movies an I am very happy to add this one to it.

Too great!

So this Bleach movie is okay. The only people that should be purchasing this Blu-ray are the fans of Bleach. Everyone else should take the time to decide.As far story goes; it feels like an extended episode with decent fight sequences. If you want to know about the plot, please look at other reviews and search the web.The "goods" that you get are a single disc with barely any extras. You get to see several character drawings/illustrations (the "art"), some of the main Japanese trailers and really not much else; there aren't even any interviews with either the Japanese or English voice actors. A very basic Blu-ray. Viz media is really cheaping out here.Video quality is excellent, which is to be expected from a Blu-ray, and the audio is great either in Japanese or English.On a side note, the price of this Blu-ray dropped several times so I kind of feel ripped off as I made this purchase via pre-order.
