Might vaguely be worth double-dipping in the distant future so long as they split the sets off at the end of the Soul Society Arc. I tend to sleep better imagining the show ended at episode 63.

This is great! I've been recently reading and getting into Bleach, but I didn't want to spend the money on single DVD sets, so I'm really glad it's getting a BD release. I'll definitely be looking forward to this.

I really hope they get the aspect ratio issue sorted out with these. Second and maybe final chance.

27 episodes is not enough per set to justify me buying bleach on bluray . It would take 13.5 box sets if they do 27 episodes per set. Plus you will have 2 sets of nothing but the bount arc in the early going, which everyone knows sucks. They should be doing this with Naruto Shippudden first in my opinion, but what do I know. I thought Death Note looked decent on bluray but I just dont see Bleach looking that good to be honest with how it was original made. I just think Viz Media could do this release better.

But the price is still hovering around $1.50 an episode, so what difference would the episode count per set make minus some minor adjustments in shelf space?

so you wanted a cliffhanger? I'm sorry but I enjoyed the Arroncar stuff, how ever I will agree that the Fullbring arc was trash (all is forgiven because 1000 year blood war)

some would argue that it won't happen because Bleach isn't popular in Japan anymore (of course that's not entirely true because other wise we wouldn't have the IOS game or the recent reprise of the musical) but hey I guess it's possible if we take Gintama and Fairy tail into account

Just recently re-watched / skimmed through the soul society arc, so I won't be picking this up any time soon, if at all. If the reviews come out positive over the DVD version, I might pick it up down the line. It would have been nice to have a higher episode count though to save space.

This probably doesn't mean anything, but, there is a six-year difference between the releases of:
Fullmetal Alchemist and FMAB
Soul Eater and Soul Eater Not!
InuYasha and InuYasha The FInal Act
And then you have D.Gray-man, which has its new series coming nearly a decade after its debut, and 8 years after it went off the air. BLEACH has been gone for four years. Math doesn't lie.

InuYasha and D-gray.man are the only ones comparable to this though as those are actual continuations, Brotherhood was a Reboot for FMA anime and Soul Eater Not was nothing more then a Spin off

I could see myself picking up the first few sets up to episode 63 once I hear how good an upscale it is. While I was massively disappointed in the quality of the series beyond that point, episodes 1-63 are really solid stuff IMHO.

Bleach switched to 16:9 in April 2008 (around the same time as other long-runners like One Piece, Naruto Shippuuden, and Detective Conan) as of ep 168, and had some ostensibly HD broadcasts starting at that point. Of course, I'm more inclined to believe that those broadcasts were station upscales of SD 16:9 content, rather than being truly HD. Either way, it was only 4:3 for ~46% of the show, though I do agree with the prediction that most of the BD releases are likely to be crappy upscales.

You are wrong about one piece because it switched to 16:9 in 2004 episode 207

well, at least the animation is still a lot better compared to Fairy Tail's. When i saw fairy tail getting blu ray treatment, i thought to myself: "what a waste of money..."

To be entirely fair, the Bount arc was far from the worst filler Bleach has done. Viz would have to pay me to watch the Reigai arc again.
