great despite its flaws

Action-packed with a clever story this is a treat for Bleach fans(and Hitsugaya fans especially since the story focus around him). The only thing that could take anyone out of the movie is that the main plot does contradict Hitsugayas past in the manga pretty much. Although its still a pretty clever idea and they sort of glossed over that part when it became time to animate that part of the manga anyway(It was sort of a manga special). And while the manga version was very sweet and endearing I actually prefer this movie version since it gives Hitsugaya an incredible amount of debt and a sense of guilt for his lost friend. The final act of the movie sort of suffers from the general trappings of shonen anime climaxes but its still a fun watch since the battles are fairly intense.
