It’s coming to select theaters on June 11th and 12th only anime fans, so if you want to see this awesome movie on the big screen mark it on your calendar and get your tickets now to ensure there is a spot for you. If you’re sitting there with a “huh” look on your face, let me spell it for ya, Bleach the Movie, entitled Memories of Nobody is coming!

I saw this movie a while back, long before I even got caught up with the current anime, and I loved it to pieces. Specifically, I loved the heroine Senna. When she shows up to deal with the “strange spirits” (later revealed to be Blanks) that Ichigo and Rukia stumble upon she wastes no time bothering to figure out what they are and immediately brings out her zanpakutou (soul slayer) Mirokumaru. Her zanpakutou takes on the form of a shakujo and whips up these tornadoes that blast the enemy away. But, there is much more to Senna than meets the eye, as you’ll soon discover. Add in the fact that the dimension between Soul Society and the real world has expanded and connected the two, and a group of exiled Shinigami (soul reapers) are hell bent on locating the Memory Rosary so that they can destroy both Soul Society and the real world, and you have one action packed movie that’ll keep you hooked from finish to end.

And don’t think that only Ichigo, his friends, and Rukia get to see any action either. Everybody makes an appearance, well except Aizen, Tousen, and Gin of course. In particular, we get to see Soifon, Kenpachi, and Toushirou in action. Yeah, everyone else gets air time and a lot of shinigami get some action, but these three are my favorite Captains and I never get enough of them.

Now, I think the reason I happen to like Senna so much is because she reminds me of several of my favorite characters from different series. Not to mention, I’ve always thought the name “Senna” was pretty. Her name doesn’t have a deeper meaning like Ichigo; who gets razzed about his name at every turn. Honestly, the meaning behind his name (first protector) is cool, but most hear “ichigo” and think strawberry. If I was a manga character I’d want something cooler, like Sai. Sai can be a boy or girl’s name, not to mention it’s also a type of weapon as well. If you don’t know what a sai is, think of Elektra from Dare Devil or Rafael from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Are you planning on seeing the movie when it hits theaters? Will you be buying the dvd when it comes out in October? As for me, the answer is “yes” to all of the above. What kind of Bleach fangirl would I be if I missed this?
