Movie Reviews of Bleach, Volume 2: The Substitute (Episodes 5-8)
Movie Review: Bleach frikin ROCKS my face off!
Summary: 5 Stars
Since your looking ot buy this series anyway, I'll assume that you've already watched this, so I won't go into the story line. One of the top anime series ever made, this anime will be a long one. This is at 139 episodes so far with no end in sight, with about 60 or so episodes dubbed in english so far (and continuing) and I must say, Bleach has the best sounding english dub I've ever heard. I enjoy the english cast tremendously, with Ichigo's voice and Kenpachi's voice being among the best. As a hard core fan of Bleach, this series has been a hugely popular series along with Naruto in the US, and has been one of the top favorites on Cartoon Networks "Adult Swim". (Heh, Naruto's not on adult swim, but Naruto Shippuden will be, from what I've seen in the manga!) I can't wait that long for each box series to come out, so I have been buying them each individually. It's going turn into a huge investment once all the episodes are released, but as a collector of anime and manga, it will be well worth it. I must say though, they could do a hell of a lot better than 4 episodes per DVD. Anyway, if your looking to get your friends into anime somehow, this would be a great starter. With a killer storyline, tons of sweet characters, and the perfect underdog becomes big dog cliche, BLEACH just rocks my frikin face off! Phhht, I'm out pimps....
Summary of Bleach, Volume 2: The Substitute (Episodes 5-8)
As Bleach continues, the tone careens from farcical to surprsingly poignant, and director Noriyuke Abe makes it all work. Chad, Ichigo's musclebound ox of a pal, parts with his cockatiel, as Ichigo helps the soul of small boy pass over. Rukia gives Ichigo a magic pill (from a PEZ-like dispenser) that should create a place-holder soul to manage his body while Ichigo's real spirit battles soul-devouring Hollows. But the pill contains one of the last surviving "Mod Souls"--and Ichigo ends up fighting himself to get his body back. He sticks the pill into a plush lion toy, and inadvertently creates the pesky sidekick Kon. The mood darkens when Ichigo faces the anniversary of his mother's death, which he believes he caused. While he grieves, Rukia confronts a stealth agent from the Soul Society and a Hollow attacks Ichigo's sisters. This singular mixture of pathos and slapstick has made Bleach a hit in Japan and America.(Unrated, suitable for ages 13 and older: violence, grotesque imagery) --Charles SolomonWith her Soul Reaper powers transferred to Ichigo, Rukia Kuchiki, disguised as a transfer student, must assist Ichigo in learning to use his newly acquired powers to destroy soul-devouring Hollows. But more trouble arrives in the form of a modified soul who takes over Ichigo's body and starts running amok all over town, literally!
