BLEACH U.S. Premiere Adds Encore Screening
There’s a bit more hope for fans of Bleach in New York who want to see the live-action film. Japan Society has added an encore screening of the film for July 28, 2018, at 11 PM. You’ll want to rush over to the site to order tickets as the first showing sold out rather quickly. Hopefully, those of us that can’t make it to New York for the premiere will be able to see it closer to them at a later date.
“The highly anticipated live-action adaptation of the mega popular Tite Kubo manga and anime series about the adventures of supernaturally gifted, orange-haired teenager Ichigo Kurosaki (Sota Fukushi). Capable of seeing spirits, Ichigo meets a “Soul Reaper” (shinigami) by the name of Rukia Kuchiki (Hana Sugisaki), who transfers her powers to him after being injured by an evil spirit known as a “Hollow.” Under Rukia’s guidance, Ichigo trains to harness his newfound Soul Reaper abilities in the battle against Hollows while Rukia does her best to fit in as a human high school girl. Skillfully directed by Shinsuke Sato (I Am a Hero, GANTZ) with state-of-the-art CGI and a stellar cast, BLEACH raises the bar high for live-action manga adaptations. ”
Bleach will be released in Japan on July 20, 2018.
