    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Bleach' is celebrated for its intricate world-building, memorable characters, and intense action sequences. The series blends fantasy, comedy, and adventure, emphasizing themes of life, death, and world balance. Animation quality, especially in later arcs, is praised for fluid movements and vibrant colors. The soundtrack enhances emotional impact with rock, orchestral, and traditional Japanese music. However, some note flaws like inconsistent pacing, underdeveloped characters, and unexplained power escalations. Despite these issues, 'Bleach' is widely regarded as a timeless anime.

    WHAT A RETURN!!!!

    Wish I could rate this higher Been a long time bleach fan first saw it on Adult swim Years ago... was the very first Japanese animation I watched and eventually fell in love with (I love sword fighting) and now what a surprise to find out that this was releasing here America alongside Japan's release of it (Come on DRAGON BALL SUPER!!) So we as fans can experience it together. So much detail in the animation top of the line and I love how they added in city noise to karakura town. And the CGI hollows were great had to rewatch the first episode 3times in a row to take it all in and I can't wait to see my boy kenpachi!!!

    An I can't wait for more episodes and wish there was more than 52 but I'm grateful to see it last until year.

    UP TO THE MARK!!

    Finally we get the rewards of our wait and patience. The animation is top notch and unreal. And the plot is fire, it is one of the best plot and arc among all the anime. The series is directed by Tomohisa Taguchi and premiered on TV Tokyo on October 11, 2022. The series will run for four cours with breaks in between. Tatsuya Kitani performs the opening theme "Scar" while SennaRin performs the ending theme "Saihate". "The Farthest Reaches"). Kitani performed the ending theme for the first episode, "Rapport", which was previously used as the main theme song for the series' 20th Anniversary Exhibition, Bleach EX.

    • Trivia
      BLEACH: Thousand Year Blood War is a follow up to the original Bleach (2004), akin to InuYasha: The Final Act (2009). It will be completing the series' anime adaptation by bringing the remainder of the manga chapters-that being the final arc-to the screen, which the original anime did not adapt. The Japanese cast from the earlier seasons return for the finale, whilst most of the English cast from the previous anime are retained with some re-casting for main and side characters.
