Plot Summary: In Karakura Town, there has been a sudden outbreak of unidentifiable spirits called “blanks” (vacant souls) while in the skies of Soul Society, the real world has been reflected. A mysterious female shinigami called Senna has appeared before Ichigo along with a man named Ganryu, leading a group called the “Dark Ones”.

Every good anime series usually comes out with a movie slightly diverting from the story line but still having some connection with it. In this movie our favorite guy Kurosaki Ichigo is running around town as the usual Substitute Shinigami until they run into this strange phenomena. Whoever watches Bleach knows that the Soul Society has a lot of dark secrets and in this movie this is one of them, I really liked how they jumped right into Ichigo’s character and we are used some of these guys, but we are also used to how the storyline is uncovered to us in the episodes so much that you really know all the characters, but in the movie you feel like its a bit hurried. You get the sense the Ichigo will continue the fight, but you don’t get a full understanding of the enemy, they could have made it a bit longer and developed those guys a little further since we already knew all the Shinigami. Overall its an enjoyable movie and you will probably enjoy it but don’t expect so much from it, I have higher expectations for the second Bleach Movies.
