Summary: An Entertaining Movie But The Ending Breaks Your Heart
Comment: This is the first movie finally to come on dvd to the U.S. and I'm greatly happy to have gotten it. The story intro is pretty much the standard hollow attacking a soul when Ichigo and Rukia destroy it but afterwords strange and unusual spirits unlike hollows are in the living world, at first confused Rukia and Ichigo encounter another Soul reaper by the name of Senna who attacks the unusual spirits who are actually known as blanks. Senna who appears to be a younger soul reaper appears to also have a vague recollection of her memories and how she actually arrived in the living world. What the blanks are and who Senna really is are explained later in the movie as well as meeting the villains and their agendas as well. Also another problem that's interconnected to Senna, the blanks, and the mysterious villains is the calamity that's causing the real world and the spirit world to collide with each other which if they do will of course destroy both worlds. The action is great as well as the animation and humor which we expect with the Bleach series and you'll get the gaggle of cast from the Bleach universe and while most won't get to much talk time you'll still see the characters in the movie. The one thing that really annoyed me about the movie was the ending I can't say why to much because that it'll give it away but it is heart breaking with what happens to one of the characters in the movie. The movie is wide-screen with 5.1 Japanese/English audio and the English audio commentaries. The second dvd you'll get has Japanese production interviews, storyboards, trailers, and a couple bonus features. So if you're a fan of the Bleach series or even if you haven't seen the series but are a fan of Yu yu Hakusho I say this dvd is a great one to get for your collection.....

Summary: More than I was expecting
Comment: Bleach is the story of Ichigo Kurosaki, an obstinate high-school boy who became imbued with the powers of a Soul Reaper. Soul Reapers come from the afterlife, an alternate dimension known as The Soul Society and it is their job to police our world, bring peace to errant souls, and destroy those back go mad, becoming massive soul-devouring monstrosities known as Hollows. So basically, the them is a blurring of the line between life and afterlife. It's chock full of action, sports a cast of characters so massive I can't recall most of their names at any given time, and an extremely complex history and series of rules that it operates by. These things make "Bleach" one of the outstanding ongoing anime series, but they also make it extremely hard on new viewers. "Memories of Nobody" does as good a job as can be expected in welcoming Bleach newcomers, but it will mostly appeal to fans of the television series as an interesting and charming standalone addition to its canon.
The star of the show is a girl named Senna, who Ichigo and Rukia encounter while investigating a creepy phenomena of faceless apparitions gathering in the world of the living. While humans can see none of this, it is a bad omen of things to come and while the Soul Society researches on their end, Ichigo and Rukia have to attempt to sort things out in the world of the living. Senna is easily among the most instantly lovable characters in the Bleach pantheon. She embodies all that is carefree and charming about anime characters. But while she jerks Ichigo around, the Soul Society comes to a staggering conclusion about her and sends several powerful Captains to take her into custody. A typically good-hearted and hard-headed Ichigo resists, but before a fight breaks out several powerful and mysterious warriors appear to claim Senna as well. The end result is a potential cataclysmic collision between the worlds of the living and the dead, eradicating both. Bleach fans, start your engines.
As with most anime films based on ongoing series', the story is set up not to affect existing continuity in any way. However, "Memories of Nobody" makes for a surprisingly poignant tale. Bleach usually keeps the tone fairly light and tends to focus on the humor and idiosyncrasies of the characters as well as the perpetually escalating multiple plotlines. Here, the focus is almost entirely on Ichigo and Senna and their story produces some surprising results. The idea of the blank souls combining and searching for lost memories was both interesting and tragic. The action is pretty sweet here with ban-kais (powerful attacks used conservatively but spectacularly in the series) being unleashed left-and-right. Several of the Soul Society's finest make appearances in the climax and show their stuff. New viewers can either enjoy the eye candy or spend that time saying "who's that? And that? What was that thing she just did?" and the like. Lots of little cool character moments -including one between Rukia and her brother, who was once intent on executing her- will be lost on them, but fans will cheer. The ending was extremely emotional -though a bit confusing- and left me pretty shellshocked which is what really caught me off guard about this film. I was expecting fluff and got some genuinely moving drama. Not too shabby.
"Memories of Nobody" is a definite must-see for fans of the anime, but newcomers would be advised to watch "Bleach" at least through Season 2 to know what the hell is going on a lot of the time. Fans of Chad, Uryu, and Orehime: sorry. Better luck next time.

Summary: Very enjoyable. It did not disappoint
Comment: I enjoyed Memories of Nobody very much. I thought the story was strong and got back to the kind of elements the show had during the attempt to rescue Rukia. The action and story were well done. My only regret may be that I didn't get to see it in the thearter. I would recommend it to Bleach fans in the US.
One of the best parts of the special features was seeing the behind the scenes of the show. Especially the voice actors. It always amazes me how the picture you have in your head based on a voice is never anything like the people in real life.
This was a great buy.
