Bleach

[lexmaniax]

There are three feature films based on the Bleach series, all directed by Noriyuki Abe, director of the Bleach anime series. The films have been released in December of each year starting in 2006. Each movie features an original plotline, rather than being an adaptation of the manga's story. They also feature original characters designed by Tite Kubo, which is contrary to the normal practice for anime-based films, as the original author usually has little creative involvement.

The first film, Bleach: Memories of Nobody, was released in Japan on December 16, 2006 and had a limited release in American theaters in June 2008. The movie is centered around the activities of a group called the "Dark Ones," who were banished from the Soul Society and trying to destroy both Soul Society and the World of the Living. Memories of Nobody was released in North America on Region 1 DVD by Viz Media on October 14, 2008.

The second film, Bleach: The DiamondDust Rebellion, was released to Japanese theaters on December 22, 2007. Its plot focuses on an artifact belonging to Soul Society's King, and 10th spanision captain Tōshirō Hitsugaya's efforts to clear his name after it is stolen while under his care.

Bleach: Fade to Black, I Call Your Name (BLEACH Fade to Black 君の名を呼ぶ, Burichi: Fade to Black - Kimi no Na o Yobu?), the third film, is scheduled to be released in Japan on December 13, 2008. This film's screenplay was written by Natsuko Takahashi, who is a screenwriter for the anime series. The official film website gives the tagline of "Sayonara, Rukia". According to the official website, the plot involves Soul Society members being struck with amnesia, causing them to be hostile towards Ichigo and Rukia. For the film, the band Porno Graffiti will perform the song "Koyoi, Tsuki wa Miesu tomo".


With the release of the third theatrical Bleach movie fast approaching, more and more information is being leaked on the interwebz about its plot. So far, we know for sure it will be centered around Rukia, but in the past couple days I was also able to find a little summary of events which you can read right here, though I found it first in the BleachAsylum forums:

Fade to Black. Kimi no na o yabu Enemy's sickle that,for some reason, attacked SS, stole Rukia's heart while she was watching the incident from the distance. Kurosaki Ichigo,substitute shinigami feels what happened and,thanks to Urahara,he goes to SS along with Kon. They found SS in chaos. When he arrived,Renji greets him,but he doesn't remember Ichigo. Suddely,strange beings attack Ichigo,who transforms into vizard to fight the,but because of that,he's accused to be the culprit,and SS commander ordered to catch him and execute him. Ichigo tries to ask where is Rukia,but nobody remembers her. Kon wandered around SS looking for Rukia,but can't find her. She disappeared as well. When Ichigo realized what happened to Rukia,it was too late.He was being catched by captains. Memories od suffering and sadness overcome his heart. He remembered when he saved Rukia,and that she was always by his side,but now,she and her heart are lost. In an attempt to run away,Ichigo sees Rukia far away,and he call out her name. Rukia forgot everyone's affection..Ichigo's affection..she has no heart. Substitute Shinigami's battle begins,not only against SS...agains his heart, cuz the new enemy has Rukia's heart and Ichigo must take it back. Battle at SS and at confused world is about to start. Rukia is being controlled by a weird feeling. With her sword and her reiatsu,she leads a new army.

Yes, I know, the translation's pretty shoddy but it's better than nothing. You can find some screencaps of the trailer in the forum I linked to above. Meanwhile here's the poster, and I'll post the trailer as soon as I can find it. (Click on it it's huge!)

this week

Spoiler untuk Bleach 338 :

Verification: Confirmed
Source: 2ch
Credits: Danna BA

Yama-ji appears

Kira apologizes

Yama-ji: “If you have time to bow your head to me, you should carefully look at the enemy”

Allon screams while its left ****** is being held downed

Kira is surprised that it’s still alive.

Yama-ji: “…It hasn’t been punished enough somehow”

Allon ‘s right ****** swells while it’s screaming. Yama-ji is going to strike again but his attack is dodged.

Yama-ji: “Just a specter that can’t think of anything but killing others. How pitiful”

“Flowing flame blade, Hitotsume (one-eyed), Nadegiri (killing in one sword sweep)”

Allon’s body is cut into two parts.

Even so, Allon is still alive and only its left part stand up.

“Oh well, you still won’t give up? It’s depressing to kill such a pitiful beast like you many times over”

Allon doesn’t even listen but it attacks him right away.

“I told you to give up, don’t you understand, brat”

Two pages showing Yama-ji swing down his sword and Allow is burned down. Then, next week.

[dexdim]

Aloww....

Si ichigo katanya punya form ke 3 ya???

[lexmaniax]

kk nanya lagi dung waktu ichigo lawan hollow ichigo yg King and his horse
itu ichigo ngomongnya Instinct terus maksudny apa tuh y?

kan pas ichigo lawan hollownya, hollownya ngomong, dia ga mau lagi jadi kuda buat ichigo
ichigo kan raja di tubuh itu, dia bilang dia ga mau ditunggangi oleh raja yang bahkan tidak lebih kuat daripada kudanya sendiri
nah, hollownya ichigo itu mau nguasai tubuhnya ichigo dan menjadi raja, dan menjadikan ichigo yang asli jadi raja, tapi kan ternyata ichigo menang, akhirnya kekuatan hollow ichigo dikasih sama hollownya ichigo itu, statusnya raja yang menunggangi kudanya
nah, ichigo kan memilih bertarung untuk melindungi teman, ga kaya kenpachi yang bilang ichigo aneh, kuat, tapi ga suka bertarung, ga kaya kenpachi kuat, suka bertarung, seseorang harusnya bertarung untuk jadi kuat, bukan jadi kuat untuk bertarung, itu yang disebut instinct

Aloww....

Si ichigo katanya punya form ke 3 ya???

selain Hollow ma Bankai???

apaaan tuch???

maksudnya pas jadi vizard?
pas bankai trus, make topeng hollow?
emangnya ada form lain?
form manusia?
