What they say:
After unidentified beings known as “Blanks” start popping up, they are soon followed by a Soul Reaper named Senna who makes them disappear. Puzzled by these unknown beings and the even more mysterious girl, Ichigo and Rukia set out to learn more, but uncover an evil plot when a menacing clan tries to kidnap Senna. Banished from the Soul Society long ago, the clan’s leader is sending the World of the Living and the Soul Society on a collision course, and Senna seems to be the key to his diabolical plot for revenge. Can Ichigo and his fellow Soul Reapers save the two worlds from annihilation?
What this Librarian says:
Despite the usual problems of slipping a movie into a long running series; it doesn’t fit into regular plot neatly, we can only assume that it takes place after the Rescue Arc; it was a decent hour and a half of entertainment. The movie follows Ichigo Kurosaki, substitute Soul Reaper, as he’s forced to chase after the flighty Senna, who has Soul Reaper powers but has no memories nor is she a known member of the corps. Senna may the key to stopping a clan of exiled Soul Reapers, but Ichigo’s got some work ahead of him if he’s going to convince the Captains of the Thirteen Guard Squads to give him a hand.
