Beautiful art ... bad history ... bad characters and cringe as hell ...
Bleach : Sennen kessen-hen is the last arc of bleach. The main story is about a normal living guy that has contact with ghosts(???) and shinimigamis, he gets powers and the chaos starts.
This time they put some money on this bs, cause everyone that watched bleach must be kinda old nowadays.
History (1/10) : I´m really a fan of shoujo and shounen ́s histories, but they must be good and bleach is not one of those. History wise is a bs with lots of cliches, hey the good boy is losing ? He gets power from his ass and beats the bad guy/a random and more powerful dude appears and beats the crap out of the bad guy...
Hey a good guy is losing ? Ok, he didn't die (cause hell yeah ?) and he goes through a training kinda fast…

If you're not familiar with Bleach and you're wondering if this show is actually good: it's not.
"Why is it ranked so high then?" I hear you ask, quite simply because the Bleach fandom is hyped that the show is back and are massively hypevoting it.
Both seasons of this new Bleach have great animation, and that's about it. If you're familiar with Bleach you might get some enjoyment from seeing all your favourite characters again. However in terms of story or dialogue this show is atrocious. In truth this show is really just an excuse to animate some cool fight scenes.
Sadly almost all fights in this show follow the exact same pattern: a good guy uses a power, the opponent goes "nani?!", the good guy then explains the entire extend of their power (which is incredibly dumb), which the oppon…

I watched Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War without knowing anything about Bleach, aside from reading maybe the first 10 volumes of the manga about 10 years ago, and I gave it a 9 at first. The action, animation, and OST are all top-notch. It's easy to appreciate this anime without knowing what an Arrancar or a Bankai is, but then I went back and read all of bleach from the beginning, just to see what exactly it was that I just watched. Having understood the plot of bleach raised my already high appraisal of the series. This adaptation does everything a superb adaptation does. Aside from adding stunning visuals and music, the adaptation makes important details more obvious than the original material apparent. Both the Dub and the Sub are quite strong. I think the best way to enjoy Bleach wou…

"Bleach" was unlucky to come out when there are many alternative Shounen that are all like two identical drops of water.
There are a lot of interesting characters in Bleach, funny dramatic ones, the characters die there, it's still frankly a teenage title, but he has iron balls in terms of acting dramaturgy... but this is mainstream, now all shounen will look like this.
I read manga as a teenager and I'm glad the anime came out, but I'm honest with you there's nothing special about it.
the art style is good, but not more, the animation is acceptable, but I know what can be better
the music is good, but I wouldn't listen to it separately on repeat
this title has one big plus there are few fillers and a lot of action
well, there's probably an interesting lore of the entire franchise, b…

It's been a while since I reviewed anything, a while since I actually watched anything, years in fact. So why not continue with Bleach's new offering.
The first reservation I had for me loving this was simply I was never the biggest fan of Bleach to begin with. However, I put this to one side and chose this to kick start my watching of anime once more and was actually pleasantly surprised at first.
It throws you into the story straight away, no waiting, though you still must endure the token irritating, over scared character a lot of anime is cursed with. Thankfully, this irritation goes away and brings you back into the story quickly.
It proceeds rather nicely into progressing what this season will detail and delivers great action sequences with some minor surprises in plot. The major…

This show is so overrated. Watched it and it was ok but like the reviews here are all like 10/10?
Feels like just the same formula of any shounen with a new big baddy thats stronger than all the old big baddies and then ass pull powerup for the MC. There isn't even a conclusion yet and this whole series revolved around rewriting over old backstory in the most uninspired way possible to give more chosen one vibe to the MC. Even 13 episodes felt like a lot since you can guess what was going to happen half way through and the second half was slow AF exposition broken up by shitty comedy elements that don't mix at all with the serious nature of what was at stake.
Overall enjoyment is quite low for this. It was OK. 6/10

Definitely worth watching if you like Bleach (minus all of the filler arcs of course), everything is the same except better. More story, better looking fights, OP bankais finally being shown off that everyone has been waiting for. So why did I select mixed feelings?
There's actually one thing that's different. Bleach has always stretched the content out longer than it needs to be (like most shounen do), but it's always been enjoyable. But this time, the content has been rushed. Hard. This easily could have been 20 episodes and it would've been better for it. There wasn't enough time to fully enjoy anything as it lasted a few minutes and then the next thing is thrown at you or the episode ends and the next episode starts off somewhere else. I could feel the time crunch multiple times throu…

If like me you looked forward to Bleach continuing, even after a long long break, then here it is/was.
I was one of those many Years ago, who continually searched the Internet, asking, Is Bleach returning??
I listened to various Conspiracies as why it was and why it wasn't, that was before i joined MAL.
Well here is why i'm not as pleased as i thought i would be.
What i did not like.
The horrible Greyish dark color scheme they have used throughout.
Imagine looking out your window at twilight, you can see things, but it's not very clear. That is today's Bleach.
The Character designs, everyone seems to be least a foot taller, especially Ichigo & Kenpachi. they all look stretched out and pointy.
The sometimes still pictures used instead of animating, they must have spent a fortune on producti…

The color design is so dogshit. The attempts to make the lighting and coloring realistic may work on other shows but in Bleach it doesn't. The old charm and colorful vibrant design of Bleach is lost and so is the style. The style was the strong point of Bleach and if that is lost then people will just see it as a generic shonen which it is currently. The color design in the 2021 reveal trailer was perfect. Too bad they changed it to something so dogshit.
Also, the writing is abhorrent. They promised to add more things but the added content (which is barely anything) is worthless if you add 1 thing and remove 50 important things. They should re-hire the old Bleach script writers like Mr. Masahiro Okubo. Why are they working on Boruto? No one watches that. Call them back and get them to wor…

What's interesting about the storyline
The story is definitely not predictable especially for anime onlys, overall for the story it was awesome, sometimes mind-blowing, especially On that one episode was shown, where the Head Captain Yamamoto Shigekuni Genryusai was fighting against the Quincy King, Yhwach, the animation was Top-tier, words can't describe how awesome that episode was, but I can ASSURE you, it was DEFINITELY better than that new season of Demon Slayer (Demons got defeated, u know the scene where demon siblings was in a total defeat, both d£cap!tated, died side by side). The massive plot-twist at the end of episode 9 also caught us all off-guard despite the Head Captain Yamamoto showing-off his enormous and monstrous powers (4 Bankai destroying "Yhwach") It was a huge disa…

so I write this review to tell you that in my opinion bleach thousand year blood war is without question the anime of the year without any hesitation
everything is refined with rigor passion and cared for by pierrot who have ensured throughout this first cour I really love my viewing throughout I am amazed and I lose words
yet bleach was my first manga that I bought from my young age and I can tell you that this constant animation and exceptional additions by Kubo have enormously applied to the anime process
also, the return of all our favorite characters had a huge impact on the work, then the osts were remarkable, thank you Sagisu for your work and your collaboration throughout the project and I, a fan of nekketsu, listened to the remix of number one masterpiece over and over. musical…

I come from an era where "THE BIG 3" anime were the biggest hype that existed in this community. Back when watching anime was still the top nerd thing one can do. Among these anime, Naruto was easily the best, but it already started declining and the next big thing to break through was Bleach.
Bleach had everything a fighting anime needs. Good action, cohesive enough world building and most importantly a large and interesting cast. The overarching theme - a group of teenagers going up against the unfair society / stuck up adults is one that resonated with me a lot back then. However, after the first big arc reached its conclusion something started to happen... something so bad that the whole fandom noticed. Kubo ran out of gas. The "rules" by which the story plays and the actions of the ca…

Let's get something straight, Bleach as a story and everything about it is not a 10/10. But if we're talking about this season and the medium that is anime and what Pierrot has accomplished, this is nothing short of a masterpiece. The directing, the music (Bleach always had the best bangers of all the big 3), the animation, it's peak anime. Judging just solely off an artistic standpoint Bleach TYBW is what other animes strive to achieve and it might be the nostalgia talking but I don't even care, I have no regrets giving it a 10/10. Bleach was once at the top, beating out everyone and had insane potential. You can tell that the studio and everyone working on this is really passionate about finishing off one of the most iconic anime with the justice it deserves, and as a fan who long awaite…

I’ve watched bleach a little in the past but never watched past the soul society arc (which I thought was good). With the announcement of this season, I watched from start to finish in order to catch up and be able to watch weekly with friends. Let me say this…:
This is EASILY one of my favourite arcs in Bleach, THE RISK, SENSE OF DANGER, REMIXED OSTs, EPISODE TITLE REVEALS, POEMS, ART DIRECTION, THE SYMBOLISM the list goes on and on!! For those who are saying that “it feels rushed” and “seems boring with boring music and dialogue” I’d say coming off of the previous seasons it does not seem rushed (picking up essentially right where it left off after the fullbringer arc) and pacing has been AMAZING. Fights have been animated beautifully and the stakes are kicked up to 💯

The OG of BIG 3, the anime where everyone knows what is shounen, the anime where many childhood growns in television in west,asia and europe whatever the brand who took the license for in 2004/2005 and last but not least the anime most of the viewer liking the protagonist, relatable like him(most part of it), wear a good fashion so we got a taste and linked with the series wether it was bad,neutral,good or best period.
That's bleach, the series long ended without the continuation in the manga. throwing a bad taste for how rush it is but when it adapt as animation, not only it improve some part of what lack in the material but also blowing all expectation for how good it is!
Not only they cut the unnecesary part in the manga but also improve the IMPORTANT moment in the adaptation!

Bleach is the Goat and what a fucking finale episode it was!
From animation to music everything was top tier. You are guaranteed to have at least 1 goosebumps moment in every episode, I certainly enjoyed it more than overrated CSM.
From baddass characters to awesome VA's everything about this first cour is splendid.
The best thing for me was the quincy king and his subordinates, they were baddass uff, I enjoyed them the most.
I wasn't even that big of a fan of bleach before but now after this marvelous season it's in my top 10. I don't wanna spoil you so without making it any longer let me tell you watch it enjoy this epic arc.

(Technically this is not a review. This is just the words of a Bleach fan.)
When Bleach ended nearly 10 years ago and when its manga ended nearly 6 years ago, I was heartbroken probably like every other Bleach fan out there. I was heartbroken because I thought we'd never get to see Thousand-Year Blood War arc on screen. I DID MY WAITING, 10 YEARS OF IT! Jokes aside, the day I thought would never come finally arrived. I just completed it and I still can not believe I actually watched 13 episodes of TYBW on screen. The day the first episode aired, I was afraid that my expectations (due to the long waiting) could never be satisfied but I have never felt so wrong in my life. TYBW exceeded my high expectations and left me craving for more.
Amazing animations from character designs to battle s…

Hate or Love Bleach, you cannot deny that Bleach tybw was the perfect adaptation! I waited until the series was completed to rate and give my opinion on the series as a whole.
Animation & Art 10/10 - You can tell the love and effort that was put into this arc.
Story 10/10 - Bleach has been known for all action and no story, but we got so much revelations, news, lore, flashbacks, and so much more with this arc only.
Pacing 10/10 - The problem with OG Bleach was the pacing which is bound to happen with the anime being so close to the source content, but the pacing in tybw was perfect. not too slow but not too fast.
Conclusion: I came into tybw not expecting much, but this series blew me! The best return of any anime i've ever seen. I can't wait for the 2nd cour to come this summer. ICHI…

Warning! No spoilers ahead. <3
Short review:
Very unexpected, very different, cool, juicy art, juicy music, fancy animation camera angles, fancy effects.
Everything about "Bleach: Sennen Kessen-hen" screams
Wow, this is so different from what the old "Bleach" was.
In general:
Another good shounen anime that has conflicts/issues and how people solve them either through being clever or using power. Is it a must-watch?
If you're a fan of one of those:
*In general Shounen animes
*Antagonist/Protagonist story system.
*Long intertwined stories.
*Cool/Complex power system.
Then it's a must-watch whether you want it or have doubts.
Otherwise, the only reason not to watch is if you're too lazy to watch long series.
I don't recommend watching "Bleach: Sennen Kessen-hen" without watching the sto…

In 2012, Bleach ended its long anime-run without adapting the final arc from the manga. Dubbed as part of the 'Big 3', it almost felt like an end of an era. Some fans were left confused that the anime omitted its final arc although it's understandable that the manga was still ongoing at the time. Almost 8 years later, Bleach's massive 20th Anniversary Event breathed new life into the franchise as we got the final arc anime announcement: Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War. Mind you, this isn't just an announcement for what fans wanted after all these years. It's a celebration for the entire Bleach fandom.
Tite Kubo has amassed a loyal fanbase and I confidentally say that he deserves it for his creative vision and sheer determination. Initially, he didn't expect Bleach to bloosom into the franc…
