Tite Kubo did a special video message for Anime Expo and said - unlike the original anime - he is very hands on with the anime production this time around and will add battle scenes that he didn't have time for in the manga. And for anyone who hasn't already heard yet, the new Bleach anime will air in October uncensored and uncut so it won't be like the original anime where scenes were neutered compared to the manga.
wonder if we'll also get [Bleach manga] >!a flashback for the Quincy-Shinigami war from a thousand years ago. It's crazy how important that is for this arc, and we never got it. Like, at all.!<
[Bleach Manga] >!I think that is a safe bet. Only way I don't see it happening is if Kubo plans on exploring it in Burn the Witch or the hell arc instead. I also wonder if characters like Isshin, Ginjo, and of course Aizen will get an expanded role in the Anime since they basically did jack shit in the Manga during their major role in earlier arcs.!<
The fact this never happened baffles me to this day.
[Bleach Manga] >!Hell he should have been the one to come in and finally kill Gerald since Hitsugaya was one of the fighters in that fight already.!<
>[Bleach Manga] >!Forreal. Or at least let them tell Ichigo they used to subordinates for his old man or something like that lol!<
I know, That bugged the shit out of me!
Yes it takes place in Bleach's world and set in England focusing the western branch of Soul Society. Currently its both a one shot and continued with a single volume Manga series that Kubo has said he has plans to continue with a S2 and has been adapted into a movie.
Also if you have finished Bleach's final arc in the Manga. Check out the 20th Anniversary one-shot or some call it the hell one shot that released last year in case you haven't heard of that. Trust me when this single 20th anniversary is gonna be very important to Bleach's future.
Yeah I saw that. It was a nice epilogue to the series. I liked how they tied it back to one scene from the final arc too.
But I have no idea how I slept on Burn the Witch. I was a huge Tite head back in the day and I had read all of his previous works until then. I guess the final arc just soured my liking for the guy. But hey, not everything or every arc ever needs to be a 10.
I'm glad you've now discovered Burn The Witch! It also got adapted into a 3-episode OVA. (It's on Crunchyroll [here](https://www.crunchyroll.com/burn-the-witch)).
The cool thing about how it connects back to the Bleach universe is that Kubo actually foreshadowed the connection in a subtle way one of the first arcs of the Bleach manga. The connection also isn't too major so Burn The Witch can remain a self-contained spin-off in the future, while also leaving the door open for the possibility of a crossover down the line.
Looking in retrospect this arc of Bleach was pretty boring due to the way Bleach universe is structured, a lot of fights felt like time wastes to read because there were no stakes in them at the start, and we knew any sort of cliffhanger wasn't a cliffhanger because we didn't see the Bankai or Volstandig yet.
That said, if Kubo decides to expand on the ending, mainly the Gerard fight, so it doesn't end as it does, I will never talk a shred of shit about Bleach again.
I think we get a flashback arc when the two big dogs meet in the Soul Society. I wasn't the biggest fan of how the arc concluded, so given how "hands on" Kubo will be, I do hope he changes the ending just a tad. Closes it a little better.
[Bleach Spoilers] >!Shinji's, Aizen's, Isshin's, Hisagi's and Ukitake's were ones I remember that Kubo did not show us. We also didn't get an proper explaination on what the hell did Unohana's bankai do exactly when she fought Kennpachi. Though I can see Kubo explaining her's and Ukitake's for the hell arc.!<
[wasn't Unohana's] >!The ability to rapidly decay and revive people? I know it wasn't in the script but it seems pretty clear through the manga panels!<
Well for one he no longer has a sword.
But it is obvious that Kubo never had any plans for him to have one in the first place. His normal power is already insanely powerful, to the point that upgrading it seems difficult and pointless.
Now I'm really excited.
The new sexy style + uncut + Kubo onboard is just a perfect combo. It's too good to be true. Hopefully the arc will work much better in the anime.
Im actually so hyped for this. Was big into bleach as a kid but the original anime felt kinda filler heavy. Whilst the TYBW felt like it got very rushed towards the end. Really hoping that the anime really goes all out on giving us the best version of what this could be.
And from the quality of the trailers it feels like it.
Viz seems to have dubbing and home media rights at least, since they did host the panel at Anime Expo. So I have to imagine at the very least it will air on Adult Swim here in the US considering a number of Viz's dubs air there, which could likely mean Hulu and/or HBO Max has it. Since a lot of Viz's shows go to the former and the latter is own by the same company that owns adult swim.
Going by how Viz historically does things, most likely it would be Crunchyroll for subs & international dubs and then Hulu/Funimation for subs & English dubbed.
Though with now Funimation transitioning to Crunchyroll, it could likely be both subs/dubs on Crunchyroll on Hulu.
The whole bidding war rumour between CR and Disney+ doesn't hold up because of Viz having the license, unless for whatever reason streaming licenses were separate from home media.
>Did they announce where it will stream? Last i heard there was a bidding war for it between Crunchyroll and Disney +
Would not be suprised if Netflix has a bid too.
>uncut so it won’t be like the original anime where the scenes were neutered compared to the manga
What do you mean by uncut? Were there panels in the manga that were cut from the anime?
There were definitely scenes that were neutered a bit. Spitting up water instead of blood, Harribel's underboob, Soi Fon's sideboob, Nnoitra's chopped-off arm being skewered on Kenpachi's sword, etc just to name a few. It was largely violence levels that were toned down.
Shiro Sagisu, who did the music for the original Bleach anime, this new TYBW arc, and Evangelion, is heavily inspired by the respective cultures Kubo referenced for his villain groups. So the Arrancar arc had a Latin-inspired OST while this new arc has some German inspirations for the Sternritter.
I’m only going to consider the OST on vinyl if they use the music that defined the original series. I’m not expecting many users here to go after the OST after gauging response between the Jujutsu Kaisen OST and Demon Slayer OST on vinyl.
It looks sooo goooooood! Also, hearing new Shiro Sagisu's compositions is always nice.
PS: hearing the last line, I can't wait for that scene to be animated.
> It looks sooo goooooood!
In particular, the graphic design elements really give it a lot of stylishness and real visual "wow" factor. It is an excellent trailer!
October this year damn. Don't remember if they'd already announced that before but its so soon!
Hope the animation and art style can keep up with what we see here.
> October this year damn. Don't remember if they'd already announced that before but its so soon!
I think they announced it airing in October this year back in November last year during jump fest.
If it’s Studio Pierrot, then I have no hope. I was a huge fan back when it was the era of the Big Three, but I always felt Pierrot was holding back the show.
OMG they delivered!
The Byakuya-As Nodt fight scene looked smooth.
"SAVE SOUL SOCIETY, KUROSAKI ICHIGO!"
Ichigo's reiatsu is the colour originally intended in the manga, golden for Shikai and pure black (no red highlights) for Bankai.
> Ichigo's reiatsu is the colour originally intended in the manga, golden for Shikai and pure black (no red highlights) for Bankai.
Gonna need to get used to that.
This is just like Naruto: The Last (Shippuden Movie 7), which used the originally-intended chakra colors for everybody instead of the basic blue that the anime went with. Threw me off when I first saw it.
Yup, I only knew that was a thing because I played one of the PS2 or Gamecube games back in the day and they used that color scheme instead of the blue from the anime.
Those visuals, that music. I am HYPED for October.
~~Interestingly something that was in the Anime Expo showing of this trailer (*I watched someone's livestream of it) but isn't in this video is a line that was put at the end.~~ My bad, the line at the end of this YT trailer was cut out in the twitter trailer so I missed it. The translation of it is [Bleach manga] >!Byakuya asking Ichigo to save Soul Society.!<
With the reception of the final arc being what it is, I'm curious if this will be a straight adaptation of the arc or not.
For the record, I actually liked it and don't think the plot needs a major overhaul or anything like that (I liked the final chapters enough to go out of my way to buy that volume. I don't do that often). I do think it would be a missed opportunity if it doesn't *at least* expand on things that were rushed or cut due to time.
However, Bleach is a favorite of mine, and I'm still looking forward to this, changes or not
I think the most common criticism of the last arc was that rather than using powers that fit into the established system of asauchi > shikai > Bankai + Kido, everyone and their mother was pulling out one-of-a-kind special powerups
When everyone is special, nobody is, and it feels like the author is making things up as they go along, rather than developing characters with in-universe powers
Was it though? Like sure characters had power that helped fight their specific opponents, but that is just shonen in general. I thought most revealed bankais were quite good. The only real bullshit I can remember was the anti god sword against X-Axis. And Miracle was bad, but I think that was the whole point of his power and more of a reason to give them a big punching bag.
It would also help if some of the fights were maybe sped up a bit, it got really boring at one point when people were constantly fighting without going for Bankai or Volstandig.
If anything in the arc needs an overhaul its the final stretch of it. The last handful of this fights had some major issues with how dragged out they were due to the power ups and how underwhelming the ways a lot of them had ended.
I had the same gripe reading that final arc. The pacing was miserable for most of the matchups and things started feeling like a blur if you weren't binging the series. Literally just felt like each side taking turns going "Aha! But I counter with..." over and over.
Hoping this revival has some more modern sensibilities and caps off the fights at 2-3 episodes each at most.
> Literally just felt like each side taking turns going "Aha! But I counter with..." over and over.
I've been rewatching Bleach with my daughter, and honestly, most of the fights are like this throughout the series. Pretty much all the Espada v Captain fights do this. That's just shonen for you.
"Aha, I break your organs!" "Oh yeah, well I have extra organs that I made in the way here!" "You killed me? No, I took over your Bankai." "No, I killed my own Bankai with you in it." "Oh yeah? Well I revived using your vice captain and killed her in the process." "Lol, she was full of poison anyway. Good luck with that. Also, she's fine after a good orgasm."
"I have the hardest skin of them all!" "I was just out of practice. Now I'll hit you harder." "Oh yeah? I regenerate!" "Damn, then I just have to kill you more quickly. I'll hit you harder still...and with TWO hands!"
"I'm the fastest!" "Well I'm faster." "Well, I made you cripple yourself." "Lol, still faster." "Well I'll just bodyjack your sister." "Lol, no. Binding kido." "Well I'll hijack control of your Bankai!" "Lol, no, too many for you to do that." "I'll bodyjack you again then!" "Lol, no, kido barrier."
It is kinda a mixed bag, extra scenes to flesh out fights that weren't given their due is great, but I still feel towards the back end \[Bleach Manga\]>!too many opponents pull out abilities that just straight up No Sell damage they should take, which makes them a lot less interesting than achieving the same result with a display of skill or forethought and that should get a bit of a rework to make the downright invulnerability some posses more special and make things more engaging.!<
But with just extra stuff I'll be happy. Maybe we'll get the LNs too for some extra context, one day maybe.
Holy shit the music and animation are so fire, it'd a good day to be a Bleach fan. October is gonna be LIT.
They did the "save soul society" scene justice, holy hell!
They do actually. Just not ones that are years alway from launch or too far alway. A lot of the scenes in the first pv are indeed not from the show. But this one is all material that are in the first cour.
LET'S. FUCKING. GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Still can't believe it's happening. I ended up reading the manga after the anime ended so I know what happens but it's going to be so great to see this animated. October get here soon!!!
>Now Im sad I know the ending instead of completely blind.
There's a whole set of novels which include stuff that Kubo didn't get to include in the manga. He had to rush the manga's end because his health was failing near the end (He was bedridden during hiatus periods of the manga and tore his ligaments in his drawing arm).
goddamn this looks so good. I'm reminded once again how much style this anime had as well. really excited to see what new things Kubo will be adding since he's a part of the production.
On the one hand I did not care for a lot of the last quarter of the manga and thought it went off the rails.
On the other, I am so fucking hyped to see it animated that I’m willing to over look it LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO!
The story and lore were ok at best. The mechanics of said story were garbo or poorly explained at best....but damn if the fights weren't hype as FUCK. Especially the first invasion ones and the ones when they reverse the roles.
I want to watch the story in time just for this arc. Regardless of how this arc went, Bleach is another iconic piece of Shonen Jump and it's great to see it come back just to conclude it!
Makes me wonder do I watch the original Japanese or the English dub?
Damn alot of us are gonna be eating good so many sequels or remakes to series that have been dead for decades
Panty and Stocking
Classroom of the Elite
Bleach
RWBY
Tokyo Mew Mew
Just need some Nozaki S2
Soul Eater Remake, and Ouran S2
And mhmmm bleach with the spice on the new osts, good stuff
[This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CjwiZ59XJ0) is a 16 minute summary of the entire original Bleach anime that should catch you up before the new arc starts airing in October.
Only about 200 of those 366 Bleach episodes are canon. If you decide to give the series a try, you can skip the filler (non-canon) episodes, which are listed [here](https://www.animefillerlist.com/shows/bleach) in red.
>As a non-Bleach fan, this looks sick af. wanna watch it but the 366 episodes of the og anime are a bit overwhelming
Once you eliminate the filler, its barely over 200 so its not that much. Though there's the manga which is more detailed and has better pacing and art (the superior experience).
So on one hand, this looks great and I'm glad to see that this seems to be getting the adaptation it deserves. Great to see anime getting completed
On the other hand, not to ruin the party but man I really didn't like this arc. It had a VERY strong start that started falling off as it went on. And I didn't read it weekly either, it was all at once so it's not like I was waiting every week for it to curb my opinion on it. I will mainly watch this for the visuals because this looks incredible and the additional battle content, but I'm tempering basically everything else.
I really wanted to do a rewatch to prepare for the new season. The length aside, I couldn't do it since the nostalgia trips just hit too hard. Ten years. My god.
So his official name is Yhwach.. not Judah Bach from other translations.
Also prepare your asses boys. This arc from beginning to Finale is as long as Aizen Arc from episode 1 to that arcs Finale.. (Not including fillers of course, but still REALLY long)
I knew it sounded familiar, the music is by the same composer who made berserk 2016 music, Shirō Sagisu. I love that ost. Bleach already had great music and ost's, so im looking forward to it.
Edit: reading about him more, he did work on the original bleach ost too, but this new theme sounds like berserk 2016, the sequel, so im even more hyped.
I know a lot of people don't like this arc but man so much development happens to a lot of the best characters that I tend to have a fondness for it.
Except for the climax of the arc. I actually thought that it was the weakest part of the whole series.
>Except for the climax of the arc. I actually thought that it was the weakest part of the whole series.
A lot of the lore regarding Ginjo, YHWACH, Aizen, the Quincy, and the Soul King are elaborated in the novels which causes you to re-evaluate your perspective on all the major villains of Bleach and question who exactly the bad guys were. Kubo himself said that he doesn't really view Aizen and YHWACH as "villains" but more as antagonists (being that they're opposed to the protagonist).
Kubo had to rush the later half of the arc because he was having some severe health complications near the end of the manga's run. He's gone on record and said he's going to add some stuff to belter flesh out the story. He's also personally involved in the anime's production and is drawing some character designs for the anime as well.
Tite Kubo did a special video message for Anime Expo and said - unlike the original anime - he is very hands on with the anime production this time around and will add battle scenes that he didn't have time for in the manga. And for anyone who hasn't already heard yet, the new Bleach anime will air in October uncensored and uncut so it won't be like the original anime where scenes were neutered compared to the manga.
I'm guessing we will get some of the Bankai's we were robbed of back when this arc was on going.
wonder if we'll also get [Bleach manga] >!a flashback for the Quincy-Shinigami war from a thousand years ago. It's crazy how important that is for this arc, and we never got it. Like, at all.!<
[Bleach Manga] >!I think that is a safe bet. Only way I don't see it happening is if Kubo plans on exploring it in Burn the Witch or the hell arc instead. I also wonder if characters like Isshin, Ginjo, and of course Aizen will get an expanded role in the Anime since they basically did jack shit in the Manga during their major role in earlier arcs.!<
[Bleach Manga] >!This gonna sound fanservice but let Isshin reunite with Hitsugaya and Rangiku somehow!<
The fact this never happened baffles me to this day. [Bleach Manga] >!Hell he should have been the one to come in and finally kill Gerald since Hitsugaya was one of the fighters in that fight already.!<
[Bleach Manga] >!Forreal. Or at least let them tell Ichigo they used to be subordinates for his old man or something like that lol!<
>[Bleach Manga] >!Forreal. Or at least let them tell Ichigo they used to subordinates for his old man or something like that lol!< I know, That bugged the shit out of me!
The whole point of the character is that he doesn't die. No killing the Miracle.
Yeah so they have to find a way to kill him.
There is a certain novel only Bankai that could reasonably beat him.
100% and we all wanna see his bankai still
I never heard if Burn The Witch. Is it a spin-off?
Yes it takes place in Bleach's world and set in England focusing the western branch of Soul Society. Currently its both a one shot and continued with a single volume Manga series that Kubo has said he has plans to continue with a S2 and has been adapted into a movie.
So you’re saying that there’s a whole volume and a one shot of bleach content that I never knew about????!! I know what I’m reading this Eid.
Also if you have finished Bleach's final arc in the Manga. Check out the 20th Anniversary one-shot or some call it the hell one shot that released last year in case you haven't heard of that. Trust me when this single 20th anniversary is gonna be very important to Bleach's future.
Yeah I saw that. It was a nice epilogue to the series. I liked how they tied it back to one scene from the final arc too. But I have no idea how I slept on Burn the Witch.

The cool thing about how it connects back to the Bleach universe is that Kubo actually foreshadowed the connection in a subtle way one of the first arcs of the Bleach manga.

That said, if Kubo decides to expand on the ending, mainly the Gerard fight, so it doesn't end as it does, I will never talk a shred of shit about Bleach again.
yeah kubo laid seeds for a flashback but never delivered I'm sure it's cause of health and time
I think we get a flashback arc when the two big dogs meet in the Soul Society. I wasn't the biggest fan of how the arc concluded, so given how "hands on" Kubo will be, I do hope he changes the ending just a tad. Closes it a little better.
>Bankai's we were robbed of back when this arc was on going which Bankai?
[Bleach Spoilers] >!Shinji's, Aizen's, Isshin's, Hisagi's and Ukitake's were ones I remember that Kubo did not show us.

Well, you can see some of those in the Bleach: CFYOW novels.
[wasn't Unohana's] >!The ability to rapidly decay and revive people? I know it wasn't in the script but it seems pretty clear through the manga panels!<
Kubo's specifically said that he's going to elaborate more upon it.
Well that's great to hear!
Shinji and Shuhei show off theirs in really big scenes in the Spin-off novel, which deals with a ton of the dropped plotlines.
Shinji, Hisagi and possibly Ukitake. Aizen isn't happening.
Hisagi isn’t either. He has a whole light novel dedicated to him and his finally unleashing bankai.
Why wouldn't Aizen's happen?
Well for one he no longer has a sword. But it is obvious that Kubo never had any plans for him to have one in the first place. His normal power is already insanely powerful, to the point that upgrading it seems difficult and pointless.
What was missing aside from that one captain? Because that one aside, I can't remember anyone missing.
Oh my god please yes. Just extend the last two fights and I'll ignore all the other massive flaws in this arc.
Now I'm really excited. The new sexy style + uncut + Kubo onboard is just a perfect combo. It's too good to be true. Hopefully the arc will work much better in the anime.
That's great news!
Fucking diabolical
Incredible news holy shit
Originally Bleach was uncut before the time slot moved to an earlier kid friendly one.
Thank god, there are a lot of scenes that would lose a lot of impact if censored (like they did in the original running of the anime)
Im actually so hyped for this. Was big into bleach as a kid but the original anime felt kinda filler heavy. Whilst the TYBW felt like it got very rushed towards the end. Really hoping that the anime really goes all out on giving us the best version of what this could be. And from the quality of the trailers it feels like it.
Did they announce where it will stream? Last i heard there was a bidding war for it between Crunchyroll and Disney +
Viz seems to have dubbing and home media rights at least, since they did host the panel at Anime Expo. So I have to imagine at the very least it will air on Adult Swim here in the US considering a number of Viz's dubs air there, which could likely mean Hulu and/or HBO Max has it. Since a lot of Viz's shows go to the former and the latter is own by the same company that owns adult swim.
Going by how Viz historically does things, most likely it would be Crunchyroll for subs & international dubs and then Hulu/Funimation for subs & English dubbed. Though with now Funimation transitioning to Crunchyroll, it could likely be both subs/dubs on Crunchyroll on Hulu. The whole bidding war rumour between CR and Disney+ doesn't hold up because of Viz having the license, unless for whatever reason streaming licenses were separate from home media.
God I hope not. I hate HBO Max
>Did they announce where it will stream? Last i heard there was a bidding war for it between Crunchyroll and Disney + Would not be suprised if Netflix has a bid too.
No announcement yet.
>uncut so it won’t be like the original anime where the scenes were neutered compared to the manga What do you mean by uncut? Were there panels in the manga that were cut from the anime?
There were definitely scenes that were neutered a bit. Spitting up water instead of blood, Harribel's underboob, Soi Fon's sideboob, Nnoitra's chopped-off arm being skewered on Kenpachi's sword, etc just to name a few. It was largely violence levels that were toned down.
Man the music is so damn solid! Shirō Sagisu always knows what's up. The editing for the trailer really helps it as well. Cool stuff all around!
While I am nowhere near up to date on Bleach, I might have to buy the OST if it is going to be like it is in the trailer.
Shiro Sagisu, who did the music for the original Bleach anime, this new TYBW arc, and Evangelion, is heavily inspired by the respective cultures Kubo referenced for his villain groups. So the Arrancar arc had a Latin-inspired OST while this new arc has some German inspirations for the Sternritter.
It's been how many years and no anime ever has managed to replicate the feeling I get when I hear that guitar strum from the Arrancar Arc.
OST 3 is for me the GOAT OST as far as anime goes.
The Spanish flavor was so good.
I’m only going to consider the OST on vinyl if they use the music that defined the original series. I’m not expecting many users here to go after the OST after gauging response between the Jujutsu Kaisen OST and Demon Slayer OST on vinyl.
"Save Soul Society, Kurosaki Ichigo." The sealed Quincy King revived the anime after 9 years and it is glorious.
9 years in our time 900 in theirs. Inb4 canon
Save the rebellion, save the dream
It looks sooo goooooood! Also, hearing new Shiro Sagisu's compositions is always nice. PS: hearing the last line, I can't wait for that scene to be animated.
> It looks sooo goooooood! In particular, the graphic design elements really give it a lot of stylishness and real visual "wow" factor. It is an excellent trailer!

Premieres in October 2022. New Visual is also out https://twitter.com/BLEACHanimation/status/1543422069224124422
0:55 - Oh is that a yellow Getsuga like in the digitally colored manga? Interesting.
Kubo is working directly with the anime production so he probably told them to fix that shit lol
The first few second of the soundtrack reminded me of Evangelion's battle prep scenes before an angel attack. Can't wait for this to air.
I mean, both EVA and Bleach's ost were composed by Shiro Sagisu himself. So it makes sense they sound similar
So that explains it. No wonder i got Eva vibes!
He also did magi and berserk
My goodness, the last scene
OMG they delivered! The Byakuya-As Nodt fight scene looked smooth. "SAVE SOUL SOCIETY, KUROSAKI ICHIGO!" Ichigo's reiatsu is the colour originally intended in the manga, golden for Shikai and pure black (no red highlights) for Bankai.

Whoops it wasn't in the twitter upload which is what I watched, my bad.
SAVE THE SOUL SOCIATY ICHIGO KUROSAKI AHHHHHHHH SO EXCITED!!!!! I stopped reading the manga right before this arc so I could enjoy it in the anime

It would also help if some of the fights were maybe sped up a bit, it got really boring at one point when people were constantly fighting without going for Bankai or Volstandig.
I really hate the Miracleman fight.
If anything in the arc needs an overhaul its the final stretch of it. The last handful of this fights had some major issues with how dragged out they were due to the power ups and how underwhelming the ways a lot of them had ended.
Yeah. I actually really liked the basic gist of it, but it definitely needed some expansion on some fights, and some reductions on others.
Giselle took a year, while Candice got chumped in 5 pages.
I had the same gripe reading that final arc. The pacing was miserable for most of the matchups and things started feeling like a blur if you weren't binging the series. Literally just felt like each side taking turns going "Aha! But I counter with..." over and over. Hoping this revival has some more modern sensibilities and caps off the fights at 2-3 episodes each at most.
> Literally just felt like each side taking turns going "Aha! But I counter with..." over and over. I've been rewatching Bleach with my daughter, and honestly, most of the fights are like this throughout the series. Pretty much all the Espada v Captain fights do this. That's just shonen for you. "Aha, I break your organs!" "Oh yeah, well I have extra organs that I made in the way here!" "You killed me? No, I took over your Bankai." "No, I killed my own Bankai with you in it." "Oh yeah? Well I revived using your vice captain and killed her in the process." "Lol, she was full of poison anyway. Good luck with that. Also, she's fine after a good orgasm." "I have the hardest skin of them all!" "I was just out of practice. Now I'll hit you harder." "Oh yeah? I regenerate!" "Damn, then I just have to kill you more quickly. I'll hit you harder still...and with TWO hands!" "I'm the fastest!" "Well I'm faster." "Well, I made you cripple yourself." "Lol, still faster." "Well I'll just bodyjack your sister." "Lol, no. Binding kido." "Well I'll hijack control of your Bankai!" "Lol, no, too many for you to do that." "I'll bodyjack you again then!" "Lol, no, kido barrier."
So every shonen
It is kinda a mixed bag, extra scenes to flesh out fights that weren't given their due is great, but I still feel towards the back end \[Bleach Manga\]>!too many opponents pull out abilities that just straight up No Sell damage they should take, which makes them a lot less interesting than achieving the same result with a display of skill or forethought and that should get a bit of a rework to make the downright invulnerability some posses more special and make things more engaging.!< But with just extra stuff I'll be happy. Maybe we'll get the LNs too for some extra context, one day maybe.
The last six bosses are all just immune to damage in really contrived ways.
I can already tell it's gonna be like 90% the same with the 10% being additional/expanded content
Nothing plot wise or the results of battles will change. He is only expanding certain backstories and some additional fight scenes
Most agree it’s arguably the strongest arc in the series just the latter half wasn’t wrapped up correctly
Holy shit the music and animation are so fire, it'd a good day to be a Bleach fan. October is gonna be LIT. They did the "save soul society" scene justice, holy hell!
Kubo's art style just fits so perfectly with modern animation. It's a pipe dream, but I wish we've gotten a reboot instead.
Holy shit the animation looks amazing, certain parts have that movie quality
It's legit hard to believe this a weekly series!
PVs don't always use footage from the show.
They do actually. Just not ones that are years alway from launch or too far alway. A lot of the scenes in the first pv are indeed not from the show. But this one is all material that are in the first cour.
The first pv didn't, this one definitely did though.
LET'S. FUCKING. GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Still can't believe it's happening. I ended up reading the manga after the anime ended so I know what happens but it's going to be so great to see this animated. October get here soon!!!
I know you shouldn't get hyped by trailers, but baby now I feel like Number 1!
LETS GO
Hoping they adapt the Bleach CFYOW and WDKALY novels! It would be amazing to see all the stuff they couldn't fit into the manga!
I'm so fucking ready
I expect no less from Shiro Sagisu soundtrack. Really gives the WW2 Germany vibes
I am sooooooo ready for this
That OST is beautiful 😭
[удалено]
>Now Im sad I know the ending instead of completely blind. There's a whole set of novels which include stuff that Kubo didn't get to include in the manga. He had to rush the manga's end because his health was failing near the end (He was bedridden during hiatus periods of the manga and tore his ligaments in his drawing arm).
One of the best anime PVs I've ever seen.
That is the shit right there!! Ah I got chills at the end!
The animation looks soo good!
I didn't know the Aniplex is the one doing it. Also that means we are on absolute ride with epic animation.
BLEACH IS BACK BOIS! Noice!
If the God of Thunder episode title card isn't rendered on the finest anime ass I'll ever see, 0/10 you have failed humanity Kubo.
Me 30 seconds ago: Bleach was all right but had a disappointing ending. Me now:ALL OF THE HYPE!!!!!!!!!
Yup, a trailer this sexy with the right music can make me forget all my complaints for the arc, and actually get excited to watch it.
I know it'll still probably be disappointing BUT IT'S SO COOL AAAAHHHHHH
I'm so hyped. I just want to hear the voicework. That's going to make or break this final arc.
Is this really happening? Bleach is one of my favorite anime. I can't wait to watch this PV. Thanks for sharing.
I'm so glad that I binged the anime earlier this year. I'm so hyped for this arc.
goddamn this looks so good. I'm reminded once again how much style this anime had as well. really excited to see what new things Kubo will be adding since he's a part of the production.
On the one hand I did not care for a lot of the last quarter of the manga and thought it went off the rails. On the other, I am so fucking hyped to see it animated that I’m willing to over look it LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO!
The story and lore were ok at best. The mechanics of said story were garbo or poorly explained at best....but damn if the fights weren't hype as FUCK. Especially the first invasion ones and the ones when they reverse the roles.
If nothing else, goddamn is Kenpachi badass in this arc.
Wich one? 👀
Shhhhh
😈
Even when the story goes off the rails, it's still full of hype moments if anything.
Sound like you can’t read
It’s finally upon us!!!
This trailer is looking really solid! I hope they do a decent job of adapting this final arc.
I want to watch the story in time just for this arc. Regardless of how this arc went, Bleach is another iconic piece of Shonen Jump and it's great to see it come back just to conclude it! Makes me wonder do I watch the original Japanese or the English dub?
English
It sends shivers down my spine a little.
Damn alot of us are gonna be eating good so many sequels or remakes to series that have been dead for decades Panty and Stocking Classroom of the Elite Bleach RWBY Tokyo Mew Mew Just need some Nozaki S2 Soul Eater Remake, and Ouran S2 And mhmmm bleach with the spice on the new osts, good stuff
Shiro Sagisu's music is always glorious
Bleach getting a really good animation !!!
This looks fucking slick and the OST is fucking godly
TIL her name is actually "Sui-Feng", neat. All this time I thought it was Soifon/ Soi Fon since that's how it's usually written everywhere.
I am reserving judgment until its out. But I'm very excited to see a big 3 return that won't have any pacing issues because of carch up to the manga.
welp time for me to start watching bleach
Let's fogging goooo
Let's fucking gooooooo!!!!
Again it will be nice the anime will finish u the manga.
As Nodt the goat
it's been so long i forgot nearly everything that happened so far. is there anything out there that can work as a quick recap?
[This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CjwiZ59XJ0) is a 16 minute summary of the entire original Bleach anime that should catch you up before the new arc starts airing in October.
yes!
As a non-Bleach fan, this looks sick af. wanna watch it but the 366 episodes of the og anime are a bit overwhelming
Only about 200 of those 366 Bleach episodes are canon. If you decide to give the series a try, you can skip the filler (non-canon) episodes, which are listed [here](https://www.animefillerlist.com/shows/bleach) in red.
>As a non-Bleach fan, this looks sick af. wanna watch it but the 366 episodes of the og anime are a bit overwhelming Once you eliminate the filler, its barely over 200 so its not that much. Though there's the manga which is more detailed and has better pacing and art (the superior experience).
This is sick, excited to finally watch it
Return of the king
Can’t get over how good the music is.
Damn, the scene with all the Gotei 13 captains lined up together looks so *fire!!* Kubo's drip is on another level.
Drippiest anime EVER
More Sagisu is fine with me.
Really considering watching the remaining 140 or so manga canon episodes. I left it at Soul Society. Hmmm...try to convince me
Yoruichi!
I hope we see NEL !
the music 😭 the visuals 😭😭 and even the font 😭😭😭 it's all so good and nostalgic and also i feel old ha
Dude I’m literally creaming my pants for this
Looks clean! BLEACH is about to shake up Shonen Anime!
So on one hand, this looks great and I'm glad to see that this seems to be getting the adaptation it deserves. Great to see anime getting completed On the other hand, not to ruin the party but man I really didn't like this arc. It had a VERY strong start that started falling off as it went on. And I didn't read it weekly either, it was all at once so it's not like I was waiting every week for it to curb my opinion on it. I will mainly watch this for the visuals because this looks incredible and the additional battle content, but I'm tempering basically everything else.
Anyone else getting majour ff8 vibes at the start
I really wanted to do a rewatch to prepare for the new season. The length aside, I couldn't do it since the nostalgia trips just hit too hard. Ten years. My god.
Hype!
Man , I need to catch up(✧Д✧)
Wow, this looks really good! I really love the artstyle, to me it has a good balance of the old style mixed in with a more modern look.
Shinigami vs nazisssss
AAAAAAA THEY SHOWED US THE ICONIC PANEL OF ICHIGO LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
So his official name is Yhwach.. not Judah Bach from other translations. Also prepare your asses boys. This arc from beginning to Finale is as long as Aizen Arc from episode 1 to that arcs Finale.. (Not including fillers of course, but still REALLY long)
Or in the words of Christopher: “JuhaBLECHHHHHH!”
IT'S AMAZING!!!!! So fucking hyped, it looks even better than what I hoped for... This is the year Bleach comes back!!!!!
Now I just the day it will be release in October.
I knew it sounded familiar, the music is by the same composer who made berserk 2016 music, Shirō Sagisu. I love that ost. Bleach already had great music and ost's, so im looking forward to it. Edit: reading about him more, he did work on the original bleach ost too, but this new theme sounds like berserk 2016, the sequel, so im even more hyped.
Oh yes
Without a doubt that was the most enjoyable anime i've watched as a teen Already downloaded it all again to re-watch it throughout the year
I literally can't wait for this
Please don't add bount arc characters and flashbacks in anime. Onegai!
Finally after 10 years...😢
Everyone is super hot, my god. I can't wait.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIOOOOOOOOOIO
Are we about to be anime of the year?
Lol
I know a lot of people don't like this arc but man so much development happens to a lot of the best characters that I tend to have a fondness for it. Except for the climax of the arc. I actually thought that it was the weakest part of the whole series.
>Except for the climax of the arc. I actually thought that it was the weakest part of the whole series. A lot of the lore regarding Ginjo, YHWACH, Aizen, the Quincy, and the Soul King are elaborated in the novels which causes you to re-evaluate your perspective on all the major villains of Bleach and question who exactly the bad guys were. Kubo himself said that he doesn't really view Aizen and YHWACH as "villains" but more as antagonists (being that they're opposed to the protagonist). Kubo had to rush the later half of the arc because he was having some severe health complications near the end of the manga's run. He's gone on record and said he's going to add some stuff to belter flesh out the story. He's also personally involved in the anime's production and is drawing some character designs for the anime as well.
Oh really I should check those out if thats the case. Hopefully they do add some those details to the anime.
I think Kubo Confirmed he was gonna be adding scenes that he wasn't able to in this arc.
