Don't know if it's been done on here before, but this is always a fun little game (usually found on the IMDB forums).

Basically you think of big-name actors and match them up with the Bleach characters who you think would be best for who.

Not a particularly serious thread, just for fun.

Here's my ideas:

In the spirit of the 2008 summer movie season:

Byakuya Kuchiki- Christian Bale

Kenpachi Zaraki- Ron Perlman

Urahara Kisuke- Heath Ledger (pre-dead phase)

Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai- Heath Ledger (dead phase; ho, ho, ho, I made a funny)

Toshiro Hitsugaya- Frankie Muniz (1st season of Malcolm in the Middle)

Shunsui Kyōraku- Johnny Depp

Ichigo- Orlando Bloom
Chad-Vin Diesel
Rukia- Jessica Alba
Orihime- Scarlett Johannsen
Zaraki- A big black dude.

Typical American casting. 30 year olds playing 15 year olds.

I wouldn't use American actors for anything set in Japan. It would look wrong and it would end up being a comedy as you laugh at the horrible pronunciation of places and names.

That said, I don't know any Japanese actors/actresses 🤣

Lose - Opposite of win, to misplace something/someone. e.g. To lose your way, to lose a fight.
Loose - Opposite of tight. e.g. To have a loose screw, to loosen a jar lid.

Im with you to 100%. thats why I slammed my head in the table everytime I saw a Ranma½ dub XD.

Oralando Bloom as Ichig...................DONDAKE?! Nandeyanen!
That's one crappy cast. You guys need to get your eyes, and ears checked 🤢

Tatsuya Fujiwara would make the perfect Uryu Ishida.
Tatsuya Fujiwara is the guy from Battle Royale and Death Note the live production.

I think i'll actually put jap guys on here, instead of 30 year old white guys playing 15 year old asian guys. 🤣

Ichigo:Shirota Yuu
Rukia: Nakama Yukie or Ueta Aya(she's younger)
Chad: Now HE can be played by an american guy
Orihime:i don't know, but i guess she'd have to have big boobs.
Ishida: Tatsuya Fujiwara

Bleach Live Action = Epic Failure

No hollywood studio, regardless of budget, could possibly do justice to a bankai transformation.

As for casting... I'll pick Vinnie Jones for Zaraki. For those that don't know, he's the Brit dude in 'Snatch' that carries the Desert Eagle 0.50.

Point & Squirt

Why not just have the musical cast do the theoretical movie?

I also agree 100%. The American actors/actresses are good, but when doing a Japanese movie would mess it up.

That's a good idea actually.

Why didn't I think of the musical/theatrical cast?? =D But yes, a bleach live action would be an epic failure. But if they were for some stupid reason to ever make one, it should have good actors. ^_^

Is that a slam at me?

Twas done in satire.

If I was casting the thing, and it was an english language film, I would go for unknowns, not necessarily Japanese either. I think characters like Ichigo and Orihime would look stupid as Japanese characters, although they are japanese. That's the problem I have with Japanese live action films in general, unless they are yakuza movies, original dramas, or period pieces.

Your post just happened to be shorter than eatpork's for quoting. 😛
