Pre-sale tickets go on sale on Friday, May 9 for the two-night theatrical release of the feature-length animated movie, Bleach: Memories of Nobody. Theaters nationwide will be showing this movie on June 11 and 12, with tickets available from Fathom Events, the same company that’s managing the two-night stand of the Death Note live action movie on May 20-21. Look for a list of theaters to be published on the Fathom Events site once the tickets go on sale.

Why trek to a theater instead of waiting for the DVD release? VIZ is promising exclusive behind the scenes footage of the making of the movie that will only be shown at the event. And hey, big screen, big speakers and a theater full of hyped up fellow fans? What's not to like?
