People often bitch about an anime not being close enough to the manga and here is an OVA remake of a short story arc in Bleach that´goes out of its way to be as close to the manga that it possibly can, and you still complain? I just dont understand manga and anime fans sometimes. Back to the review:
This is without a doubt one of the best Bleach stories pre-Soul Society. It dealt with Ichigos past and was very emotional, yet it also had some great´and brutal action scenes. It also works great as a stand-alone story, just because it is so close to the manga. If I was to introduce someone to the anime I would show them this, it is that good.
