Forum:4th Bleach Movie

Info
I couldn't really think of where to put this, so I am putting it here. The 4th Bleach movie has been announced and it is apparently scheduled to be released Winter of 2010. So about this time next year. Details are very sketchy but a large poster was included with this weeks Shonen Jump and per the translation of Sheetz from FLOL the movie concerns Ichigo's "perfect hollowfication.", i.e. his second vizard form. Apparently more detail about the movie will be coming later. I will be using this post to add more details as they become available. Tinni 19:46, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

The following clip contains nothing new. The two seconds of content that's labelled as being from movie 4 is actually from Fade to Black. However for the sake of completness I am throwing the clip up here, seeing as it is an official teaser clip. Tinni  (Talk)  08:49, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

The title of the new movie will apparently be 第４弾　Horo of Horokillrer　ホロウとホロウを斬る者 (Horo of Horokillrer - The one that cuts a Hollow, is a Hollow!?). So does that mean the official spelling of Hollow is Horo? Tinni  (Talk)  09:52, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

That is, eh, a rather unexpected focal point for a Bleach movie. Assuming that it does indeed turn out to be the focus of the plot, then we could well see lots of the Human characters that have been all but ignored in the previous films. Anyway, they're been getting better with each film, so fingers crossed for fourth time lucky. I just hope it doesn't descend into, well, into the silliness that is the end of the first three films. -- Yyp  (Talk)  20:47, December 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * Great, hope it has a good plot, and that they introduce a lot of new characters (previous movies introduced too few). I'd love to see more Hollow/Arrancar-centric plot, played at Hueco Mundo.--Lon-ami 21:10, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

I am glad they took a break from the movies this year fade to black was a very good movie pretty hard to beat when considering other shonen jump movies. By fade to black it was clear that Studio Perriot were no longer skitish on diving into cannon material for a movie(hisagi's zanpaktou was revealed in fade to black before it aired on tv.) Also making koga a kuchiki(although by marriage) they made a filler character be really involved and kinda redefining the cannon material. Studio Perriot is very confident now in their stories and animation.What I would really like to see is when the manga is done make the finale of the anime a movie kinda like what they did with the first fullmetal alchemist series. Either way looks really good we should hear more about it in the coming months.--Lemursrule 21:28, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

I happen to think Fade to Black was utter rubbish and another very formulaic offering from the studio. So I hope that the 4th movie is radically different from the other movies. Because I am really sick of the same formula over and over and over again. Anyway, I bet the movie is going to revolved around Ichigo losing his mind and becoming the villain of the movie. I predict the movie will involved his comrades trying to stop him/bring him back to himself. Tinni 21:47, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

@Lemursrule. First? Is there a second Fullmetal Alchemist series? @Everbody else(LOL). I have to agree with Tinni on the third movie and in a way all of the movies. They have gotten alittle worse each time. But thats typical with Sequels. At anyrate I hope this movie is the best of the four. If so we could see a fifth movie, but I don't want anymore. I don't want Bleach pulling a DBZ, where theres like 15 thousand movies. Minato (Talk)  22:08, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

The second series of fma is fma:brotherhood it is a remake of the original series and stays much closer to cannon material than the original series did(which was mostly filler) and is an ongoing series based directly off the manga. Tinni is right ftb is really all both mon and ddr but that's what I like about it, to me it felt like a "bleach" movie. mon lacked some action, ddr the plot was way too thin for a 90 minute movie, but the action made up for, but still ddr was just a great big dumpload of fan service with awesome music. ftb looked really back at the entire series and had a story ok the snake hollow thing was weird, but it was an emotional story there was good character development more kon time and they did not go overboard with fan service. ftb was more true to tv show than it's predecessors. Looks I know it's not spirited away but compare it to naruto movies and you will see my point. Again would really love like a 2 hr movie finale for the actual anime series. Also any of you guys live in south Asia the english dub of bleach is premiering this friday on animax south Asia. and NO DBZ stunts that was so cheesy--Lemursrule 22:33, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

WOW i saw the poster when i read the new chapter of bleach on wednesday, but i didn't know it was the poster for the new movie!!! I had been waiting for an announcment of a new movie all over the past summer but never got one. I didn't know they were taking a break this year. I think Fade to Black was awesome and the ending had me in tears. This movie will be really good if it focuses on Hollow ichigo.--Vandiir 06:43, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

fade to black was the best of the bleach movies and i hope the 4th one is even better

"Because I am really sick of the same formula over and over and over again".

I agree with Tinni on that one. Bleach movies and especially fillers are usually the same. I mean, we always get to a part where tons of menos are thrown on screen just to give the ensemble cast something to do while the main characters or the main character at hand (Hitsugaya in the second movie and Rukia in the third) go to finish off the villain. Deimonos 11:58, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Not to cause a flame war, but the manga itself it just as formulaic as the movies have been to some people, so I fail to see any logic in what Tinni and those agreeing with her claim. Regardless, the majority of people on the internet tend to eb insuffereably cynical, so it's pretty hard to take their opinions seriously, to be perfectly honest. Anyway, the second and third movies did have the same plot formula, but radically different content and execution for both, and I maintain the argument that Fade to Black was the best of the Bleach movies by far. Let's see what the 4th movie'll be about. Krone8 22:52, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
