Bleach fans are finally getting an adaptation of the last arc of the Bleach manga: The Thousand Year Blood War Arc.
They are splitting it into 4 cours with 13 episodes in each cours.
The animation was great for the first episode. They brought back the banger ost and the original cast is doing the voices again.
I am personally just really happy to see something made in 2022 actually turn out to be good!
JFC finally.
Why they stopped the anime after the Fullbring arc despite the manga having ended FUCKING YEARS AGO was beyond me.
Edit: Let the mindless murderfest begin!
Ending it at the fullbring arc was so painful since the last episode they animated till now was the one where Ichigo was telling Rukia that he will see her later.
It took us 10 years!
Anime ending may still cause issues as it is quite... abrupt how the arc resolves.
Always felt like the last pages were an attempt to emulate what Naruto suddenly showed with the cast grown up with kids except Naruto still went on to create the Boruto manga while Bleach just stopped AFAIK.
Maybe the anime will show some things that the manga never did, like finally showing off what Hisagi's Bankai is!
I do not count "Can't Fear Your Own World" as canon however it may end up inspiring such material if they decide to bring it forward to the TYBW arc.
