A villain with a menacing aura enters the room and Ichigo just casually kicks him outta there.
This is what I missed for so long. Welcome back, Bleach

After 18 whole years, our favorite characters are in action. I can't describe this feeling of seeing this masterpiece of a show!

Bleach Thousand Year Blood War will run for 4 course/series with 48-52 episodes! It's going to be a long ride.

it will run till 2024 less goo!!

sounds fun, woohoo

"Okay then.... let's get this over with" hearing the voice of Ichigo I know again after some years was soo cool!!! These voices are a big part of what I missed about Bleach!! As well Mayuri Kurotsuchi's scientifically authoritative voice and shino aburame's for Uryu!!
Yhwach has a sociopathic gleeful indifference in his voice when expressing annoyance with subordinate which was chilling!!
And that ending "Rapport" hit soo hard again with the badass drums and then the awesome guitar and singing!! NOW Bleach is completely back for me!!!

The "Ban KAI!" and "Getsuga... TENSHOUU!!!" were badass by Johnny Yong Bosch!!

yes dub finally here. was waiting for dub. no way I'm watching sub after watching dub 366 episodes 5 years ago. like hell I can get use to japanese voice after watching 366 episodes in dub.

I got used to the English dub even though I never experienced the Japanese sub

Alright it’s so good to hear the Dub voice characters again it’s been too long, For a moment I was beginning to worry that they will take a long time dub this because Viz Media Take a long time to dub these things So I end up watching subs because I don’t wanna be left behind of what’s happening But now it’s only a 3 episode difference between the Dub and sub Versions of this.

I'm gonna be binging both the sub and dub for Bleach TYBW. Lets Go!!!

The nostalgia is real. As much as I was anticipating this anime, I waited for the dubs because I wanted my first impression of the last season to come from the VAs from my childhood, aside from Ikkaku's VA unfortunately. This is going to be a fun journey.

Ikky isn't the only recast, Chad has a new VA as well. Mr. Price bowed out and Chad is being voiced by a quite unknown guy by the name of Alain Mesa. see my comment on TYBWA dub main page here on gogo.

yuh

holy shit hearing jyb saying bankai and getsuga tensho after so long gave me instant goosebumps

I know after all these years since he played as Ichigo HE STILL GOT IT!

same its up there with Its morphin time!

THIS IS SO GLORIOUS I CAN'T BELIEVE IT THEY BROUGHT BACK THE OLD CAST

Except chad 😥

And the award for creepiest facial expression goes to...

amazing ending credits!!! Love the new music.

o drop ep 2 already

Epic! Simply epic when that song starts to play as Ichigo and the others start to take out the hollows! This anime has built such a great expansive world that it is a shame this is the end. with some more imagination i could see this anime going on for many more years.

this was HYPE AS FUCK

Finally dub

Hey hey hey

Bro I'm in tears, such a nostalgia 😭

this was amzing damn i like the fact that they maintained the voice actors

after such a decade long time that it came back. i thought he doesn't even need that device anymore.

Damn This episode full of goosebumps, also Boruto's budget being melt down here looks satisfying

Yare Yare Daze

Not sure how I missed Shino's name and that she looks EXACTLY like Ikkaku with a wig on when she's mad but now I can't unsee it...

In Ryōgo Narita's 3 part light novel series 'Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World', Shino is stated to be the younger sister of Ikkaku Madarame. It is also shown that her Zanpakutō's unnamed Shikai takes the form of a Naginata (bladed staff/or a spear). those light novels ARE canon Bleachverse titles, since Kubo-sensei co-authored the books and did all the illustrations for them. those novels' main character is Shūhei Hisagi and they occur AFTER the TYBWA completed in the manga. as far as i can remember, those three LN have all received official English translations.

unfortunately, Makoto Matsubara's FOUR Bleachverse light novels have NOT been officially translated. so if you find fanslations of them... be cautious. as far as i've read they ARE Bleachverse canon since Kubo-sensei also did all the illustrations for the books.

their titles are:
Bleach: The Honey Dish Rhapsody (2006)set during the week after Aizen's retreat from the Soul Society to Hueco Mundo and Rukia's rescue.

Bleach: Letters From The Other Side (2009)merely a novelization of the earliest chapters of the Bleach manga, skippable.

Bleach: The Death Save The Strawberry (2012)set five months after Aizen's defeat at the hands of Ichigo but BEFORE the Fullbring Arc starts in the Bleach manga.

Bleach: WE DO knot ALWAYS LOVE YOU(2016)set 3 years after TYBWA ended in the Bleach manga. as best as i can tell that English title is ENTIRELY correct, the 'knot' is a reference to Rukia and Renji's wedding 'tying the knot' which is covered in this novel.

finally the moment I was waiting for !

It’s finally here🥹🫂

I didn't see it uploaded on Hulu early in the morning wonder if they will now that the first 1 is out. Nice to see the show back even if I had dropped it during the filler arcs years ago.

You should see if again

aight! time to dive in and re-experience ep1 in English this time! :D

edit, well after 20 minutes i've learned: JYB voice has not aged well. he's almost unrecognizable.

Chad's new VA Alain Mesa is decent, but with so few lines in this ep i didn't get much of an impression just yet.

Ikkaku Madarame is now being voiced by Todd Haberkorn? oookay, that didn't sound like him at all... Alan Walker from D.GreyMan was a long time ago, but i remember Todd from Genshin Impact as Razor recently. i knew Vic Mignogna wouldn't be reprising Ikky, after all that legal crapola... but i figured they would at least get Michael Sinterniklaas back.

Steph Sheh as Orihime sounds... not quite as... 'squeaky'? as she used to? but once more, not enough lines in ep1 for me to really catch how well her voice has aged.

Richard Epcar is still awesome! i won't tell you whom he's playing, look it up yourself ;)

Derek Stephen Prince, as always great as Uryuu!

Terrence Stone can STILL do that creepy as HELL double-voice thing with his second set of vocal cords and NAILED it as Captain Kurotsuchi!

Neil Kaplan... whew! his Capt. Yamamoto is as good as it used to be!

everybody else, whew! so many old English VAs bringing Bleach back!!!!

well, i'll check in with ep2 to hear if i can catch any differences in the 'old days' and 'today' with the Edub. but i'm definitely keeping up with the Jdub episodes. :D

W anime man

i'm not used to bleach looking this clean but damn am i all for it

The chibi reaper has finally come!!

Old man Yama is now almight

The hollows look so much better, they use to look like Ben 10 villans. My god the animation is so amazing and I’m so proud of orihime’s development. Tybw I’m here

LMAO they skipped the filler stuff in the rewind tribute

1st episode was really good and its still has its funny moments i love it, also i liked the outro where we saw all of the old Bleach Episodes and Ichigo's progress and experiences throughout becoming a soul reaper, I just about forget what happened previously from how long it's been since the last episode.

the nazis are here

"There is no need to fear... because I am here." ALL MIGHT?!?

Feels so good to hear bankai again

This is super funny how I barely watched bleached last year and already have new content. I didn’t have to wait years like the rest of y’all lol

So lucky

It always love to hear Johnny Yong Bosch as Ichigo , missed the Johnny and the dub crew , I know the lines are tweaked but it’s ok I don’t mind and for the dubbing of ep 1 is good not great but good
