The official website of the Bleach: Sennen Kessen-hen (Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War) television anime revealed on Sunday four additional cast, opening theme, key visual (pictured), and a promotional video for the second cour. Ketsubetsu-tan is scheduled to premiere on July 8 at 11:00 p.m. on TV Tokyo.

Cast
Liltotto: Aoi Yuuki (One Punch Man)
Gerald: Tsuyoshi Koyama (Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho)
Nianzol: Souichirou Hoshi (Persona 5 the Animation)
Giselle: Nao Touyama (Gleipnir)

Rock band w.o.d. is performing the opening theme "STARS," which is previewed in the promotional video below.

Tomohisa Taguchi (Akudama Drive) is directing the anime at animation studio Pierrot and also handling the series composition with Masaki Hiramatsu (Toriko script). Masashi Kudou (Bleach) and Shirou Sagisu (SSSS.Gridman) are returning as the character designer and music composer, respectively.

The action adventure manga debuted in Weekly Shounen Jump in August 2001. After a 15-year serialization, Kubo ended the series in August 2016. Shueisha published the 74th and final volume in November of that year.

VIZ Media acquired the series' master license in March 2006 and serialized the manga in English in its print edition of Shounen Jump magazine between November 2007 and March 2012. The manga concurrently moved to the Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha digital anthology in January 2012. The company published the 74th and final volume in October 2018.

Looking good just as the first cour did. As it'll be kind of nonstop fights from the start, we all hope they be as good as it was last time.

Opening is in the background too.

Nao voicing Sternritter Z, Giselle, this ain’t funny. Aoi voicing Sternritter G, Lillotto, no difference. It’s just like how Ayana voicing Bambi and that to go with Ueshama voicing Sternritter P, Meninas, picking female cast for Sternritter is just so “random”. I can’t remember Nianzol, I will assume Gerald is Gerard Valkyrie.

I don't know if you've read the manga so I don't want to spoil anything, but it's true that this cour would consist mostly by fights nonstop, which is something that I didn't enjoyed while reading the manga tbh, everything felt really shallow. However, I suppose one of Taguchi's mission is to add more substance to the anime, and I'm optimistic he'll succeed on that.
From the PV alone, we can already see elements from Can't Feel Your Own World (canon novel, very important to the lore), for example plot points related to the Soul King.

I've read, so you wouldn't spoil me. As for the inclusion of extra content, I do want and think they'll. Guess there was a news too where author or someone has himself stated that they'd write a completely original scene for this cour which wasn't in the manga. So we're clear on that front, as for the fights I just meant they'd retain the fine animation we had in the first cour.

This and JJK are about to carry Summer. Can't wait to see Shinji's Bankai!!
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.

I just saw the PV.
I was curious about what Hirako said about 卍解.

I haven't seen the previous season, but since it has my favorite voice actor and the guy who does the music, I'm in the mood to watch it this time.

Like ONE PIECE, it used to be those people from the last generation, such as Kugumiya, Mizuki, until Wano where they hired Shimono and Kurosawa. Similar thing happened with Bleach, it hasn’t happened before.

It's inevitable, the Bleach sequel came 10 years after the original ended and the seiyuus that stand out today are different than those that did in 2012. The casting of voice actors who got famous in the 2010s is understandable, and they still casted some veterans for the TYBW arc such as Koichi Yamadera, Hideyuki Tanaka or Takaya Hashi, I don't see nothing weird.

Wait, you mean tomoyo kurosawa ?


If yes, this is first time that seiyu around 20s join one piece anime, because mostly seiyuu who're join this anime for first time (1st eps for their character) are above 30s, such as miyukichi, kamiyan, kugimiya, sugita, etc
So, this will be rare for one piece jpn dub

The name of seiyuu that you said such as yamadera, hashi and hideyuki are suitable to voiced one piece, since mostly va for one piece are above 40s or 50s, even 70-80s

Yep, I know TK very close, I was surprised to see somebody like her there, she voiced Ulti of the Toppi Roppo from the Beast Pirates. Because most Seiyuu voiced HST anime tends to be at their peak (mid 30s) to elderly age (70+).
