Bleach the Movie 2: The Diamond Dust Rebellion

I have a confession to make. I like the Bleach movies. I honestly, truly adore them. Shhh. They don’t make my head hurt like other anime movies.

Bleach movies just promise to be a fun romp with characters we already know and love, and that is exactly what they deliver. Please check fandom timeline notes at the door.

The art is “teh pretty." Seriously. The animation is an experience in and of itself. Even if you hate the story, which I don’t see why you would, you’ll be in awe of the sheer funky, avant-garde greatness of what Studio Gonzo does in this anime. Please ignore the awkward and embarrassing CGI mecha scene in the middle. We all pretend it just didn’t happen.

I dubbed it the “speech bubbles o’ doom” the first time I read through it.
