**Warning** AMV contains some spoilers as to how the battle ends, nothing mind blowing, but it is somewhat of a spoiler.

This amv is from the final story arc of Bleach: the Fullbring arc.  The music is really solid and chronicles the final battle between the Soul Society and the Fullbring. For those of you who are curious about who the Fullbring are; they are humans who we attacked by hollows before their birth.  The result is that these humans have powers that resemble that of hollows, and many of these people are scarred from tragedy in their lives that leads the manifestation of their powers.  This amv was very well done; it has great music, and even includes some subtitled lines from the show itself, capturing some of the deeper moments for those of us who have seen the show.  All in all, a very well done amv with good music and a lot of feeling behind it.  The effects are well done, and not at all excessive.  This is definitely worth the watch for all you Bleach fans out there.

The Decision to Protect - The Final Getsuga Tensho (Bleach AMV)

This AMV uses several different (and awesome) tracks, all set around different parts of Bleach.  All of these parts come from the final battle with Sosuke Aizen, and tie in different parts of events leading up to the climactic showdown between Ichigo and Aizen.  The effects and song selection are all excellent, but there are a lot of spoilers (that's why I'm putting the text before the video).  Ok, so **SPOILERS** after here.  This amv takes a lot of "artistic liberty" with its subtitles.  First, Gin doesn't want to kill Aizen to take his power, he actually only plays along with Aizen all those years so he can "get back" something Rangiku lost.  This change really ruins Gin's character, in my opinion.  Also, Ichigo's use of the "Final Getsuga Tensho" doesn't actually result in his death, it results in him losing all of his powers.  This change doesn't ruin the story as much, but I felt it was an unnecessary change that tried to make the ending feel too heavy. **END SPOILERS**

This AMV does a great job with the scene and song selection, and the effects, while sometimes a little excessive, were all very well done.  Sometimes, however, less is more; and while this AMV does a lot of things well, the beauty of AMV's is how they seem to naturally fit songs to the shows, and this AMV stepped beyond its boundaries, to some extent.  The changing of the subtitles, as well as the excessive use of effects held this AMV back from excellence, in my opinion.
