I love Bleach and would have loved to watch it as a series like how the Chinese turn most manga and wuxia.. the movie was nothing like the Anime or Manga.. to me I would have rather watch a 24 episode and told the story right.. I would have loved to see him go to the soul society to rescue Rukia.. the movie had lots of potential but as a soup opera not a 1 1/2 hours long!!.. they changed so much of the original story lines and that's what made the movie not as likable..the CGI was cool.. I like the idea of Warner bros partnering up with the Japanese productions but damn I would have preferred a series instead of a movie ..didnt even follow the original story..they through the parts everywhere in this movie..
