Description:
The second season of the popular fantasy-adventure Bleach shifts into high gear as Ichigo and his friends storm the Seireitei, the stronghold of the Soul Society, to rescue Rukia. The officers of the Soul Society are a weird-looking cadre who may remind otaku of Shishio's lieutenants in Rurouni Kenshin: Legend of Kyoto. Ishida demonstrates new powers as an archer as he defends Orihime against a grotesque giant. The loutish Ganju faces off against a preening popinjay, while Chad and Yoruichi await the opportunity to strike. Not surprisingly, Ichigo faces the toughest opponent, the arrogant swordsman Ikkaku: director Noriyuke Abe
The second season of the popular fantasy-adventure Bleach shifts into high gear as Ichigo and his friends storm the Seireitei, the stronghold of the Soul Society, to rescue Rukia. The officers of the Soul Society are a weird-looking cadre who may remind otaku of Shishio's lieutenants in Rurouni Kenshin: Legend of Kyoto. Ishida demonstrates new powers as an archer as he defends Orihime against a grotesque giant. The loutish Ganju faces off against a preening popinjay, while Chad and Yoruichi await the opportunity to strike. Not surprisingly, Ichigo faces the toughest opponent, the arrogant swordsman Ikkaku: director Noriyuke Abe skillfully mixes overlapping movements, slow-motion, unusual camera angles, reverse colors, and black-and-white to heighten the drama of their duel. But Bleach never stays too serious for too long: Ichigo and Ganju squabble, even in the most dire straits, and an overhead shot of Ichigo fleeing a squad of Soul Reapers looks like a tabletop Pac-Man game. (Rated "Teen," suitable for ages 13 and older: violence, grotesque imagery) --Charles Solomon
