bleach

i was watching bleach: the diamond dust rebellion and i gotta say it was pretty average, i find that animes which air weekly are better then their movie counterparts. i say this because in the weekly airing of animes, the writers have the luxury to built very detailed back stories for their characters whereas in the movie, everything has to be condensed to keep the movie within the time frame. what i found irritating in the above mentioned movie was the character build up for the antagonist was poorly done, he was killed for having the same abilities as the good guy and and returns from the dead to exact his revenge only to end up dead again. i found that utterly disappointing and even worse was the fact they didn't use the title character kurosaki ichigo to his max abilities, he was more of background character in movie. but i only find the movie to be average but as for the anime series itself, i totally love it, the anime has some really cool characters bolstered by a very good plot line and solid action sequences. and if i were to choose a favourite character it would definitely be zaraki kenpachi, a freak of nature and dude who loves to fight..... bleach to me is still one of the most excellent animes out there.
