Interesting, this seems to go into more depth into the characters already in the story, instead of just a completely filler story.
Anyway, Discuss...

My immediate reaction to this was too much Hitsugaya. I don't have anything against him per se, but I don't understand why he's treated as God's gift to Bleach in terms of how much screen time he gets outside of the original work. But who knows, maybe the movie will make him seem a lot cooler. But as long as there's more of Byakuya and Zaraki in this one than there was in Memories of Nobody I'll be happy.
Whats your problem with HItsugaya, the kid is a prodigy. I honestly don't know why they like to plaster his face everywhere though and they really do a bad job of portraying him too but I hope they make him look good. I agree with you though more Byakuya and Zaraki as they seem to be everyones' favorite characters.

Sapphire is awesome!
Does 'don't having anything against' translate to 'have a problem with'? I don't have a problem with Hitsugaya but I don't like the amount of animation time he gets. Sure he's a prodigy, but to me that means very little. He's better than he should be at his age, but it doesn't mean he's better than all the other people at the level which he's achieved at his early age. Since Hitsugaya strikes me as one of the weaker Captian's I'm not as interested in seeing him fleshed out, since I'm drawn to strength. I know he is extremely popular among Japanese fans and thus has major marketability, but it depresses me a little that instead of building a movie around a character I already like this movie will be based around a character I'm not all that fond of.
You might not be fond of him now, but maybe after this he might grow on you. Personally I dont hate him nor do I particularly like his character. I kinda think of him as the "working captain" just because he seems to be out in the field a lot more then the other captains.

The "working captain" I like that, I'll consider it his official title.
@Yukimura: No it doesn't translate, it was a statement not a question. Its understandable why you don't like him getting so much attention because there are better characters in the show. I just like him because he is "young," smart and strong.

Hitsugaya got lots of screen time because the icy midget got a dragon shaped bankai. And you know, mix a prodigy, a midget, a dragon, and one of the four elements, you'll get the best merchandising product ever.
Every lambda watcher will just go " Omg Hitsugaya is teh shit !!1!!! "; " Get me pregnant Hitsugaya I love u ...." and shit ...
Just check bleach fan's BBS to confirm.
Nearly all other captain class char are more interesting than Hitsugaya (Except Mayuri, because he's a freak who got pwnd by Ishida).
Instead of having the " Diamondust whateverthetitleis " movie. Why not having a movie tracing back the Genryusai-Ukitake-Shunsui era ... or Urahara Kisuke gaiden.
@BladeChild I would agree, I meant to say a charachter I'm impartial to, not 'not fond of'. I don't really care about Hitsu one way or another, he's just sort of there, maybe after he's fleshed out he'll seem more interesting to me. But even if that happens I'd still rather someone I actively like got fleshed out since character awesomeness has increasing returns to scale on likability for me.
I'm not that interested with Hitsugaya's character either but whenever he's there it means "Rangiku" will be around. Her boobsies make up for Hitsugaya's bland personality.
lol if hes the working captain, what do you think the other captains should be called? Im just interested in what people think of the other captains.Originally Posted by Abdula

young prodigy characters are almost an instant hit in the anime world, no surprise there. Characters like Edward Elric, Gaara, L (death note), Luffy to name a few. Young people who excel in whatever field they're in.
I think Inazuma hit the nail on the head here. and I shamelessly admit that the merchandising worked on me can't wait to see this movie. And it should be interesting exploring the past of one of the gotei 13.Hitsugaya got lots of screen time because the icy midget got a dragon shaped bankai. And you know, mix a prodigy, a midget, a dragon, and one of the four elements, you'll get the best merchandising product ever.
WTB more Kenpachi. He's hands down the coolest character in bleach, yet he gets almost no exposure in the series or the movies. Then again the creators probably aren't basing their choices on how popular a character is with people who jack it for free off the net. Damn you vast culture differences.
It looks good though ,even if he's not my favorite character. Looking forward to it.
I think i posted this opinion in the thread for this weeks ep... but, i too have been wondering why Hitsugaya gets so much air time, and was like... omg not again. But the scenes shown in this weeks bleach opening from the movie seemed pretty cool to me w\ Hitsugaya maybe losing his memory or being controlled or something.
@Inazuma, Urahara-gaiden ^^
I would like to see some urahara action

Not sure why they don't give him a little more exposure. At this point I'll take anyone other than Hitsugaya.
Lil' bit more interested cause of the 152nd ending. When does it air? Or coming out? Better yet, download it?
Now... we can click as warriors... button to button, it is the basis of all internet.
Only a fool trusts his life to a virus.
The Release Date is December 22nd. I doubt well be seeing a fansub of it until the DVD comes out which if the trend holds will take at least 6 months if not longer. But cam versions are always a possibility.

Personally I would prefer more backstory for Soifon, but she isn't even on the top10.
Btw

Come on ... Hanatarou cooler than Ikkaku ? Either it's a fake, either the people voting is not reading or watching Bleach.
It's not a who's cooler than who poll, it's a popularity poll.
Did you bother to read the full post?Originally Posted by Inazuma
Its a poll from two years ago... since the most recent one (from september) hasn't released its results.
Fake? Go ask the Japanese who voted.
