I have never seen a much more beautiful movie in my life. The directing is amazing. All scenes are perfectly paced and hold so much weight to them. I’ve never felt such a feeling in my life before and could only wish to experience it again. The actors were amazing and I have no words for how well they did at getting me attached to the characters they were playing. The character development that was done in such a short period of time was amazing and I couldn’t ask for more.

I genuinely love the game but there are a few core flaws that do make it frustrating. I am quite a fan of the combat mechanics and the way they work. It’s sort of like dark souls in that perspective but be aware I’m being liberal when I say that. In reality the best thing to compare it to is blood borne mechanics (timing a parry to stun the enemy and land a critical hit or missing it and just stunning the enemy for a half second). There have been many times when I misjudged the timing of an enemy attack and have been punished for it. This isn’t without its flaws though. There have been times where I have been trying to lock onto an enemy but the camera goofs around and does it’s own thing. Rating: 7/10 The story on the other hand is weird. I do think it has an interesting story but some of the characters are hard to get attached to. This isn’t a AAA so you can’t expect the writing to be spectacular, but it could have been better. I still haven’t talked about the story line, I got off topic. The story is fun. It has its moments where you have a hard time understanding what’s going on like meeting your mother after a fight after a graveyard (I’d rather not spoil it but *hint* boss fight) but I personally think it isn’t bad. 6/10 One thing that stands out is the choice element of the game. Who you kill does effect the region they live in, especially if it’s a pillar. For some extra info, a pillar is someone who holds a community together in this game. What you choose their fate to be does have a drastic effect on the region, but not the smaller citizens. Okay that last part wasn’t entirely true. Killing the less important citizens does have an effect on the people around them, but no one outside the social circle. No one talks about how this persons son/wife/lover/husband/etc. died, just the people in that circle. It would be nice for someone outside that circle of friends saying “I heard that [enter person’s name here] wife was murdered. Shame, she was a really nice lady. She even helped me out a few times.” Or maybe that does happen and I haven’t seen it yet, but all the same it’s unfortunate that this wasn’t implemented in the game. 8/10 Voice acting, how can I not talk about that. It’s mediocre. Sometimes it’s cringe, sometimes it’s amazing. I love the main characters voice actor as I think it suits him well. There are times where he overdramatizes a few lines sometimes for the better or worst. I genuinely do think that it’s good work, and other voice actors did well too. One thing I can say is that for the short time we see Mary (the main characters sister) is on screen talking I love her voice acting. It’s amazing and I love it. Overall voice acting: 8/10 Finally from me: the bugs. I have played this game and dear lord it has crashed at least 3 times in one day. It’s so annoying. I’ve also experienced bugs that have stopped me from completing a side quest. It really does get annoying but it doesn’t take away from the fun. If your wondering why the 4 stars, it’s because I do genuinely enjoy the game. It’s fun, the gameplay is interesting, the combat is fun and I like how abilities work. Overall the game is definitely worth your time and I think you should try it out.

The first few seasons of bleach are, in my honest opinion, amazing. The further down you get with the seasons though, they just get slightly worse: the art work is less detailed, the character development gets more basic, and it feels like it could have done much better. Don't get me wrong, it's still a good anime, but you can tell that the work was rushed to a degree in the later seasons. 10/10 for the first few seasons, 7.2/10 for the later seasons. The character development of the earlier seasons is mainly reserved for the main characters: Ruki, Renji, Ichigo, Orihime, and Uryu. Chad is a main character as well, but he does't get as much attention as he should be getting. For Ichigo, the protagonist of the series, his back story is a little stereotypical for characters in this genre of anime, but in the manga it goes just a slight bit more in depth of why he is the way he is. There could also be some extra background info for other minor characters (where there is none) such as Ururu or Jinta. The supporting characters also have some info on them, but it's usually connected to one of the main characters and not a standalone. 6/10 My favorite thing about the anime is the relationship development between the characters, aside from some things that are minor problems I have but hold little weight as to what this point is. The way that friendship dynamics work here is my favorite in the way that they can take two characters that have a poor meeting with one another and, for the most part, accurately depict their growth through the series of events that happened in accordance with their personalities. There are a few rough spots such as how fast paced some relationships grow and that does annoy me a little, but it is overall one of my favorite things. 9/10 The fight scenes are different for each enemy in each arc. Some fights are too face paced, some are too slow paced, some are at a decent pace, and others are perfectly paced for the episode. One thing that I dislike is that some fights can drag on for three episodes and it's mainly due to that there are multiple fights being focused on at once. In some cases this is true, and is understandable as long as the fights are decently paced. Some times they focus on a single fight and that can drag out for too many episodes. Sometimes the fights get repetitive and you can tell what a character is going to do before the character does it. Nonetheless, the fights are well animated and still fun to watch. 6.8/10 While there are some story arcs that are amazing, there are also story arcs that are good, but could have been better if a little extra time was put into it. During the first filler arc, we are introduced to a stereotypical bad guy with a stereotypical goal. He has his followers, and they aren't even the main villains but still have more memorable fight scenes than he does. I do enjoy the arc but it could have been better. Not to mention they should have just plastered JoJo all over the damn arc because that's what it felt like. It is a good arc, but it isn't perfect. The other filler arcs are much better than this one, and are more entertaining than a JoJo ripoff. 9/10
