First of all, I have not read the manga and if it has an anime, nor the anime. So I cannot compare this live action movie - how good or bad it is, compared to those.

Now, coming to how I felt about this movie-
it is DAEBAK. Yea I loved every moment of it. How Ichigo complies to undergo reaper training from rukia and together how they faces the hollows- all of it is just awesome. I enjoyed it from the start till the end.

You got school romance, action, supernatural- yea many of the genres you like combined--that is this movie.

At first you think it could be a supernatural one. Then you think could be a rom com? Then you are like oh no no it is action packed!!! Yesss ss you got all that here.

I liked the part where each time his classmate tells the rest of the class "An accident happened to Ichigo and he died" and at that exact moment Ichigo turns up and says " I am still alive." I found this part funny and at the same time liked it very much. How Ichigo never gave up when fighting rukia's brother - that is another DAEBAK part.

It is a pity that I could not watch this in a movie hall. For me, this movie does not have a single boring moment. Watch it if you like the genres mentioned above.

If you don't watch it, you are missing something important.
