Bleach LA Notes: As I Watch

The first ten minutes of the movie where a direct copy paste from the first manga chapter. If only the rest of the series remained that cool...

Isshin Kurosaki cooking for his family was not only homely, but made 100% sense. Better than have a 9 year old cook for a whole household.

Masaki’s poster was replaced with a gigantic photo. I approve.

I will never understand how Rukia never recognised Isshin. He is from the same shinigami clan of Kaien right? Rukia’s first love? (It’s been a while.)

Maybe Isshin revealing himself as a shinigami wasn’t planned from the start (otherwise why did he do nothing in Fisher’s original attack) but I like that in the LA movie he was stopped from the rubble of the house’s ruins. A normal human would be stopped by such a hazard. Also, the wardrobe scene. Knowing Isshin IS a shinigami, it makes it extra hilarious. Also he still needs to be called out by Ichigo if a movie sequel is ever made.

Yuzu’s line changing from ‘run away’ to ‘I’m scared’ makes sense. SHE’S A NINE YEAR OLD KID FOR CHRIS-

If Masaki was a Quincy why was she defeated so easily by-

Did the movie just skip the Sora scene?? But it was so VITAL for the series as a whole! Like the life chain detail that went absolutely nowhere!

Speaking of Orihime.... why is she acting like she and Ichigo are dating? You like him, we get it. At least it’s because he’s funny this time. (Not because of his ‘funny face’. Changing it to grumpy was good too.)

Tatsuki, what have they done to you??

Ishida was in Ichigo’s classroom? Boy what are the odds.

Renji, don’t act like Envy from FMA, you just can’t pull it off.

Wait. Wait wait. Wasn’t Rukia caught by SS because of the Sora incident? Byakuya and Renji just found out Rukia miiight have shared her powers with a human because....?

The Marauder's Map turned into a Smart Phone for Reapers is cool.

This Ichigo is kinda into being human, he didn’t embrace his shingami powers as easily as his manga counterpart did. I like that change.

Byakuya and Renii’s meeting spot looks like an abandoned theatre.

Tatsuki is coddling Orihime quite a lot. Again, not an item.

Ishida looks like he needs some sunshine. Ulquiorra is that you?

Could you imagine how cooler Bleach would’ve been if Ichigo’s Quincy powers were awakened from the start? No? That’s silly? Okay then. “Is there anyone sane around here?” - 100% good shit, right there. It feels something annoying is miss- NO KON! Ah, feels good man. 

Okay that Ishida intro was cool, waay cooler than the manga. Somehow that arrow hit Aizen’s backside, he says thank you. Second one killed Mayuri, instant death

“Wait this is too complicated!” - The scriptwriter after reading spoilers.

The bait scene is still here. Why did people say it was given to Renji and Byakuya? Ishida still used the same Hollow bait.

And the first thing Renji tells Rukia after 40 years is... ‘You didn’t dodge that, I went easy on you.’ Err.... movie? You DO know he doesn’t stay an enemy right?

Rukia bowing the moment she saw Lord Fluffy expy Byakuya.

That Isshin/Ichigo moment.. excuse me. *sniffs*

That died on the spot joke got as old as Mayuri’s welcome very quick.

Will the real Tatsuki just please stand up?

Ichigo being grateful for the shinigami powers was a nice touch. (I always thought Urahara was gonna turn out to be the real villain before the whole Aizen reveal.) Speaking of them, man these shinigami being all haughty and above it all towards humans. You’d think there was a reason why this was challenged in the SS arc. Hmm.

MOAR training - this time following flirty mirks and a pouty stoic face!

Didn’t Renji and Byakuya take Rukia away by now? I don’t recall them visiting the human world three times like this.

Chad casually listens to yet another pointless McDonalds scene.

Does Ichigo even attend class anymore?

This training montage is a far more satisfying answer for Ichigo’s sword skills than the ‘I know karate’ explanation we had in the SS arc.

Byakuya: ‘People die when they are killed.’ Renji: No fucking duh boss...

Aww, Rukia is not wearing that Sabrina esque outfit in the anniversary scene, I miss that hat. And Isshin.... you’re a soul reaper. Like, soulphone your wife? Text message? Pay her a visit to SS sometime?

But Masaki’s soul wasn’t eaten by GF... right?

“Chad, protect them.” Unlike manga, Chad and Orihime still cannot see Ichigo. But the movie is hinting their spiritual power is slightly awakened?

ISHIDA BEING ON GRAND FISHER ACTION ON YEAAAAH

YEEEEEEEESH ICHIGO BEING THE ONE TO SLAY GRAND FISHER FUCK YEAH 1000000% GOOD WRITING AWW YISS!! (Sorry the Isshin reveal shouldn’t have been at the cost of Ichigo’s CD.)

Aww, Ichigo is really happy at the idea of Rukia staying after all.

Syke! Knuckles with a vengeance shows up!

Nice to see that the gatekeepers of death cannot uphold a promise.

Ichigo your level needs to be 20 before dreaming of defeating Byakuya.

At 8:26 remaining from the end of the film, I’m getting FB vibes.

It’s okay good Shining twins, big brother loves you both.

The minute Ichigo sees the class + Orihime, he turns to see Rukia’s empty desk. Hooooooooooooooo-

Wait this is how it ends? Ichigo smiling towards a book?

No stinger? That’s it? Ah, bollocks. I’ma rewatch Bojack S5.
