It felt so short, but Bleach is finally back and ready to start with a bang! Ichigo vs Ebern and the Wandenreich's declaration of war especially were my favorite moments of the episode. The OST by Shiro Sagisu, peak as always.
I enjoyed the episode throughly and it's a pity we will have to wait a weak, but I'm just happy after so much time I can experience this series again. I'm overjoyed.

amazing episode, the backgrounds, the cgi, everything
I loved the special ending song with the scenes from the older anime
They old scenes looked they were upscaled or had fx added to them

Wow. Bleach is really back after a whole ass decade. It still feels surreal. The animation, Shiro Sagisu returning with more goated music, hearing Number One again, and hearing "BAN....KAI!!!!" and "GETSUGA TENSHOOOOO!!!" again.....this was a fantastic first episode and an amazing return for Bleach. I wouldn't even call myself a huge fan of Bleach but I've always had an appreciation for it and feel like it's often the most disrespected of the "Big 3 Shounen." Hopefully this will change things. For now I'm just happy that it's back with upscaled animation. God I'd love to see some of the fights from the OG anime with upscaled animation. Seeing the Naruto 20 year anniversary thing the other day and now this is making me want upscaled remasters of both lol, but that definitely won't happen.

Oh yea and RIP to whoever leaked this, better start filing for unemployment ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

Even though I watched the trailer about a hundred times, I was still in awe at this episode.
Kinda wish they could remake all of Bleach with this kind of animation
ASOIAF is the best piece of fiction

The CGI is so well-done you barely notice it's CGI.
And the Hollows look actually scary.

Okay, I don't want to be that boring guy, but I had already noticed in the trailer the lack of impressive action scenes, and I also watched this director's other anime (Akudama Drive) and I got the impression that he's not very good with actions scenes, does that mean we won't have good fights? no, but I don't think we're going to have extremely well animated fights, with impressive camera angles and so on. I hope I'm wrong.

Yes sir anyone who watched the trailers should be able to tell how well done the CG is.

I just realised the shape on the road was a quincy logo. Didn't catch that in the manga if it was even there in the first place.


Also the ending was a nice touch. Quick recap of the first 366 episodes (or less, fillers excluded). I almost cried.

I have no words to describe this feeling... crying, joy, happiness, emotion, nostalgia, my childhood, my life, my being, there are many sensations involved, watching this episode, hearing Ichigo saying BANKAI once again was something similar with the return of Fairy Tail in 2018, it's an inexplicable thrill

I've caught up with the manga up until this arc and watched the anime. It has been an enjoyable ride with epic fights and great characters. Now, the animation has improved by a land mile which will make it even better. A great first episode, we've got to see a fair amount of characters back who will be in a dangerous spot sooner or later. The soundtrack is fucking fire and overall vibe of the episode with the new artsyle of the adaptation is way too good.

Goodbye, random employer of Disney. You'll be missed.

Just watched the English subs again and I just wanted to add one more thing. Its NOT censored. Everyone who said that it will be censored cause of disney and stuff have got their answers now. Its all as brutal as the manga.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

The events happen a bit differently so it's pretty fresh take on the same story.

Off with an almost incredible start. My only complaint and I'm sure other will agree...

Those CGI Hollows... Really Pierrot? The "fodder" type of Hollows will be barely relevant if not at all anymore at this point. You could've given them a decent send off from the show by giving them decent 2D animation, of course the 3D wasn't bad but still these enemies were the icon of the show in the beginning and deserved better. That's my rant.

Everything else is amazing, voice acting, music, animation, on point every other check mark. The ED feels kind of cheap just recapping past events, maybe it'll change later.

I was grounded to the screen, the OST the animation, everything felt so original and so Bleach. That "Principle of defeat" feeling that Bleach and Bleach only gives, priceless. 5/5 and if possible I would have ranked it higher :D

OMG!!! This episode was amazing, I want the next episode now!
The animation is definitely the best it has ever been for bleach. CGI Hollow were great, I don't think there was any problem there.
The dialogues from Yamamoto were giving me Chills. Orihime is beautiful as ever. Ichigo & his team's entry was easily the best part fo the episode.
I'm f**king excited for what's come. If the animation is the same as this for rest of 52 episodes, then it's going to be peak, because I know what to come in next few episode!

As the first episode of the season, I can say that it was a great episode. The studio did a really good job and it looks like they're going to adapt the manga well. An amazing season awaits us.

Really strong pilot episode, visuals look great, even the cgi hollows are really well done. Really looking forward to how they adapt this, I hope they don’t drag it out like they did with the og.

Also the music fucking SLAPS.

It was more impressive than I expected. Amazing how far animation has progressed in during the 9 years hiatus. I am so glad the 8 years I waited paid off. Fantastic art and effects. This is going to be good, or so I think.

After all this hype it was meh. Animation was ok, but nothing special. As a big fan of Bleach back in the day I felt nothing. I won't continue watching this. I guess 10 years absence does that to a series. I have the first seasons on DVD and that's is as good as it gets.


This has to be one of the fakest "i'm a big fan" post i've seen in a long time, you literally sound like you never enjoyed this series, no one can be a big fan of something and when it returns looking better than ever you "feel nothing and won't continue watching this" just because some years passed, specially when it's literally the big final arc of the original series, which means you're not even bothering to finish the series you're a "big fan" lol
