āMemories in the Rainā might be a must-watch OVA for a Bleach fan, and is probably good to get a short impression on the series without jumping on the train itself. However, otherwise, I personally do not see the point in downloading.
This OVA is a remake of Ichigoās battle versus the Grande Fisher hollow. The fightās a little more detailed than in the original series, the dialogueās worded a tad differently, but basically, the scenes stayed the same. Itās nothing that couldnāt be seen in the original series ā sometime along the first 100 episodes. Type āGrande Fisherā into the Bleach Wiki if you want to know the definite point. I honestly donāt remember, and I donāt have the patience to look it up right now.
This OVA seen for itself does a decent job covering Ichigoās background and his emotions so the watcher can sympathise with him. (Thatās where the 4 stars for story come from :P) However, the anime does about the same. Dialogue and animation are the same as in the series, the characters are the same ā you get to see the whole thing in the anime. Generally, youāre better off sticking to the anime in my opinion. You get the same information, the same emotion, and you wonāt waste your capacity in downloading an episode you have seen before. That is unless
- you are a die-hard Bleach fan who canāt miss a single episode. As youāll see when browsing the āExcellentā reviews, quite a few people enjoyed this.
- you are in the unlikely situation of having enjoyed the Ichigo vs. Grande Fisher episode(s) so much you want a remake.
- you want a general impression without having to jump on the train Bleach has become, like stated above.
Not meaning to flame, or to offend anybody, but personally, I, having watched Bleach before and not being all that enthusiastic about it anymore, donāt see the sense behind this OVA. You get the same information in the anime itself.
