Bleach the Movie: Memories of Nobody
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Between keeping Karakura Town safe and battling Hollows, Ichigo Kurosaki already has enough on his plate, but then mysterious white spirits called Blanks start flooding the streets and a Soul Reaper named Senna shows up out of nowhere, cheerful, reckless, and clearly hiding something even she doesn't fully understand. That's the setup for Bleach's first movie, and it works because Senna is genuinely compelling. She's not just a throwaway movie-original character; her connection to the Blanks and a place called the Valley of Screams drives the whole plot, and by the end you're way more invested in her than you expected to be going in. The action is exactly what you'd want from a Bleach movie: Studio Pierrot put real effort into the fight choreography and animation, giving it a noticeably higher production quality than the TV series. Ichigo gets some great sword fights, Rukia and the other Soul Reapers show up to do their thing, and the stakes feel appropriately cinematic without being absurd. What makes it land, though, is the emotional core. Senna's story gives the whole thing a bittersweet weight that the best Bleach arcs have. If you enjoyed movies like Naruto: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow or Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone, those standalone anime films that expand the universe while telling a self-contained story, this hits that same sweet spot. It's a tight 90 minutes, no filler, and it leaves an impression.

Recommended for Bleach fans , especially those who enjoyed the early-to-mid series vibe and want a self-contained story with better animation and a memorable original character. It’s one of the stronger Bleach movies for many viewers precisely because it prioritizes character connection and emotional payoff over pure spectacle or forced ties to the main plot. If you’re in the middle of the Soul Society or early Arrancar material and want a palate cleanser, this is a good pick. Newer fans who jumped in via the Thousand-Year Blood War arc may find some references or the lighter tone a nice contrast, and a few later elements even get light nods in TYBW material. Overall: a tight, entertaining theatrical outing that punches above typical non-canon movie expectations thanks to Senna and the elevated production. Worth watching if you like Bleach’s blend of action and heart.
Watch the movie because some context from this movie was mentioned in the TYBW part3 and surprisingly this is such an amazing movie too. I wish I could watch this movie first before the others
Always a pleasure to see Ichigo kurosaki and other soul reapers in action. The movie has goo animated fight scenes and a touching story line. You might just shed a tear when you're done watching.
The story is captivating and full of action. but does not live upto with the rest of movies. The movie has silly jokes, amazing action sequences and soundtracks.
I was surprised by how much I liked it. Sure the movie had some cringeworthy attempts of comedy and the pace dragged a bit early on but I really liked the characters, despite the villain being a bit unforgettable, and how the story developed. On top of that the movies fight scenes were awesome and they’re a treat for fans of the series.
This Bleach movie introduces Senna, a tragic character that will straight up hit you right in the feels. Visual tahun 2006 dia padu and fighting scenes movie budget memang nice for 2006! Ending dia buat air mata jantan tumpah, macam kau kena ghosting dengan awek lepas belanja dia makan Kenny Rogers. It hurtsss
Delivers fun action and solid animation. Senna is a likable new character, and the story has some emotional weight. The fights are well-animated and entertaining. A good watch for Bleach fans!
