ā€œMemories in the Rainā€ might be a must-watch OVA for a Bleach fan, and is probably good to get a short impression on the series without jumping on the train itself. However, otherwise, I personally do not see the point in downloading.

This OVA is a remake of Ichigoā€™s battle versus the Grande Fisher hollow. The fightā€™s a little more detailed than in the original series, the dialogueā€™s worded a tad differently, but basically, the scenes stayed the same. Itā€™s nothing that couldnā€™t be seen in the original series ā€“ sometime along the first 100 episodes. Type ā€œGrande Fisherā€ into the Bleach Wiki if you want to know the definite point. I honestly donā€™t remember, and I donā€™t have the patience to look it up right now.

This OVA seen for itself does a decent job covering Ichigoā€™s background and his emotions so the watcher can sympathise with him. (Thatā€™s where the 4 stars for story come from :P) However, the anime does about the same. Dialogue and animation are the same as in the series, the characters are the same ā€“ you get to see the whole thing in the anime. Generally, youā€™re better off sticking to the anime in my opinion. You get the same information, the same emotion, and you wonā€™t waste your capacity in downloading an episode you have seen before. That is unless
- you are a die-hard Bleach fan who canā€™t miss a single episode. As youā€™ll see when browsing the ā€œExcellentā€ reviews, quite a few people enjoyed this.
- you are in the unlikely situation of having enjoyed the Ichigo vs. Grande Fisher episode(s) so much you want a remake.
- you want a general impression without having to jump on the train Bleach has become, like stated above.

Not meaning to flame, or to offend anybody, but personally, I, having watched Bleach before and not being all that enthusiastic about it anymore, donā€™t see the sense behind this OVA. You get the same information in the anime itself.

Thank you for reading.
