So this video just came out a few days ago showing clips from a musical play version of the anime Bleach. I think it's a little odd really, the costumes are quite good but it all just feels a little wrong for Bleach. So what do you think?

EDIT: Turns out this isn't the first time its been done, this is a new take on a previous musical.

As if anime's weren't weird and impenetrable enough.

Rukia's outfit was quite good though, so was Kisuke's.

Fuck the musical, I wanna see the final story arc animated.

Seriously, what the fucked possessed them to make them think that finishing the anime at the end of the PENULTIMATE story arc was a good idea???

The thing people never seem to get with musical adaptations of stuff like this is that it doesn't fucking matter if you get costumes or castings right if the TONE is wrong. A bleach musical could be incredibly cool because I quite liked a lot of the music I heard on the show, but more importantly it's tone could be adapted very well. If the music was fittingly severe and orchestral and not danged poppy, that'd be cool.

Kisuke looked cool though >_>

Look closely, Picard's in there. Seriously, there aren't enough facepalms in the world to describe this.....how the hell do they intend to go Bankai?

I mean really...why a musical? Make a play, alright. Make a live-action movie, I'd be fine with that. But a frickin' musical? I already dislike Bleach for insisting on challenging DBZ for King of the Never Ending Animes...but a god damn musical? Le sigh....... u.u

Honestly, the current arc is a filler. Kubo could've ended the manga right after the Aizen arc, but he decided to prolong it because he has nothing else to do. This is a cop-out. He should just let the manga die in peace and start work on something else.

Meh.

Call me when they make a Death Note musical, if they haven't already. I'd pay to see that.

Thinking of which, I wonder what other animes would be like as a musical...

EVA musical, anyone?

I'd seen this awhile ago and watched it all just for laughs, so ridiculous.

Akira - the musical!

OT: I think it's a bit weird. And in other news, the sky is still blue.

I'm not surprised. This isn't the first time an anime got a musical adaptation, and it surely won't be the last. I am curious as to why Bleach of all things?

Maybe it will make more sense than the manga and anime cause man do those make very little sense.

While I find the concept itself to be funny and silly but from what I've read, it's quite common over there. I mean they did one for Pheonix Wright ages ago!

Well, other live-action adaptations of anime have fallen flat on thier faces, why Bleach would be one of the few exceptions i have no idea.

Bakemonogatari the musical.
A musical of a Shaft anime...

I suspect that such a thing would cause brain damage to the masses.
