What a crazy step up from the last season. Hope they can keep it up for the show's remaining run.

BAN! KAI!

Orihime and Bambi continue to look amazing as expected. Bambi smiling got me so happy. Harribel uncensored got me smiling. The trailer was on point as expected. Viewers were kidding about the movie quality. It's been 10 years since the anime went on hiatus, the quality was expected. It's 2022. CG Hollows were expected. Of course when they reveal Rangiku, she's not shown in a natural color, but fortunately, they added her character design to the website. Manga blonde hair is here! Plus, Nel's manga hair color. The natural manga color balance has been restored thanks to Kubo.

I actually decided to watch episode 271 (aired in 2010) of the ANIMATION BEST that aired last Sunday while the event was happening to pass the time. In that episode, Ichigo said "Ore ga... Ore ga... Ore ga mamoru!" Now just a couple hours later in 2022 to hear Ichigo in the trailer say "Ore ga... ORE GA MAMORU NDA YO!!!!"... Morita hasn't lost a step.

I already knew the OP/ED songs days before plus air date. I expected the final arc to be 4 cour. I was right. I wanted Kitani's RAPPORT song to be the OP because it's so good. The OP song is good, but RAPPORT goes harder. We now have Sawano in Bleach even if its just the ED song. We'll be listening to Sagisu during the story then ending it with Sawano. That's a nice combo. Plus, the reveal was the day before Sawano's birthday. He had a good birthday this year for sure.

Lastly, LMAO I read that other production companies were complaining that Bleach was taking about 80 seiyuu for recording, especially the popular ones. It was affecting the production of other works. This is what the return of Bleach should feel like and I'm happy.

What's funny about this is that there's productions complaining about Bleach taking away Voice Talent. lmao

I feel like Sokka. "At least the visuals were good". That's kinda the only thing I'm looking forward due to Taguchi directing it. 4 cours split though....

She's not credited in the big cast list, most likely due to her character being seen so scarcely, but it was a great, emotional joy to hear Tomoko Kaneda as Nel again in the trailer. And that brief shot of Pesche means Takehito Koyasu too!

Same goes for Katsuyuki Konishi as Hisagi and Takahiro Sakurai as Kira, although (I don't remember the whole plot of the arc) but spoiler[after Kira's zombification I recall that he had more relevance in the story.]

That was really impressive, love the way everything looks.

Not really sure I buy it being only 4 cours though. We already have precedent with Black Clover (also Pierrot) that was announced to be 4 cours and then it ran for like triple that.

At least it'll be a pretty trainwreck, I guess?

Wow I did not expect them to do a bunch split cours usually I hate split cours because we would had to wait like 3 to 4 months after they aired the first 12 or 13 episodes but for bleach it’s worth it!

....Except bleach is already finished and 4 cours are enough to cover the arc?

Also, if there's a series that does NOT need to be even more dragged out than its source material, it's Bleach. (Hell, I wish they'd streamline it a little.)

Bleach is more than streamlined. It's just that manga wise, panels focusing on character expression took up a lot of space, so chapters were short on actual "actions". In anime form, it's gonna be pretty fast.

4 cours is barely longer than Soul Society was, and a hell of a lot more happens in the TYBW than Soul Society. Especially since we're getting new and extended scenes.
