| Amazing episode. As we all know... Good ducking job, Disney. Great. Fantastic job. |
| someone is gonna get fired by Disney for leaking this shit lol old man Yamamoto being badass, the animation quality is movie like for sure at least on the same movie quality of past Bleach movies, the 3DCG Hollows are done well too im not sure if they can maintain this awesome animation quality all through out but i hope they do, first few episodes of any anime usually are best animated anyway i forgot most of the story now since its been years that i read the manga but ye i remember the Quincies can nullify the Bankais  |

 |

| This was an awesome episode, great OST, and animation but shame it got leaked, i mean shame for the company |
 |
| The Episode was great!! Animation and th story! Really hope it will maintain the quality until the end! On the other hand about the ep I am really interested for the next ep! |
 Thank you for the present, Santa Snowman 2 |
| Wonderful! Subarashi! In an instant you are celebrating the return of Ichigo and Cia. and suddenly it goes into action, mystery and a new enemy I'm already looking forward to the second episode!! kekeke |
| The episode is okay, and the animation improved, but the fact that this the Orihime in the episode diminishes. Ichigo's voice actor has diminished over the years. |

| It was Viz that leaked the EP, not Disney. Sorry. This is the same content shown during the prescreening process. Tomorrow we should get the episode with the opening.

This license must've costed a ton to get. |
| Holy fuck, this is looking fire and with great pacing to boot. One Piece fanboys gotta kneel, our series will never reach the divine final form. He did it for the boys |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I had to laugh when Getsuga Tensho caused that big ass explosion for absolutely no reason other than because it was meant to look cool. Screw continuity and logic though I guess. Did Michael Bay direct this episode? Lol. Also those damn CGI Hollows are among the worst CGI I've ever witnessed. It was FMAB CGI Envy levels of bad, except that at least FMAB had the excuse of being a 2009 anime to justify its ugly CGI; what's this episode's excuse? |

| its back, crazy... |
k11chi said: Getsuga tensho has always caused explosions Not consistently. I literally re-watched the whole Bleach series earlier this year in preparation for this series and in most situations Getsuga Tensho in the anime is just a burst of black energy. Other than a couple of instances for dramatic effect, it didn't cause explosions on a regular basis because that's not how it was meant to be portrayed. And even in those rare exceptions, GT never caused a freaking nuke blast like it did in this episode... |
Orihime being cute in this scene  |

Other than a couple of instances for dramatic effect, it didn't cause explosions on a regular basis because that's not how it was meant to be portrayed. Just because it's not consistent doesn't mean it doesn't explode. It's a condensed form of reiatsu. It does cause explosions. When Ichigo clashed with Aizen in FKT for the first time the Getsuga tensho pieces alone were exploding all over the city. |
-FALSE said: He's complaining about a blast of condensed reiatsu designed for large-scale damage and destruction causing an explosion. You just know he's going to go into every episode finding the most stupid things to nitpick about like he did with this one LOL Yeah, and when the condensed reiatsu gets a bit shaky it can explode. Isshin's Getsugatensho is a reiatsu-flame slash that also can also explode into a wide amount of reiatsu. |
Early_Morning said: Happened vs Ginjo, Tsukishima, Gin, in filler arcs, in movies, etc. Could be for variety of reasons but yes Getsuga Tensho has frequently exploded.k11chi said: Getsuga tensho has always caused explosions Not consistently.

| Bleach is back!!! |
 |
| THE BEST - BANKAI !!!!!!!!!!! |
| Watched without subs as at torrents there are no english options so far. FIRE! Episode. The introduction of main cast in the style of pink/purple color like in Akudama Drive. Ebern fight. Declaration of War. Damn And the long ending with Whole Rapport song from Bleach Ex Trailer with edited short recap of whole canon bleach episodes... Man I've cried so hard. We're eating good finally ! |
| I didn't like the pacing of episode, seems way too fast... |
| That leak is brutal. Good to re-experience nostalgia though with this show returning, even if I'm not a fan of the writing and story of this series and particular arc. I've used an Ichigo keychain for 4 and a half years now daily alongside the Assassination Classroom one a month or 2 after I finished Bleach. Crazy to think that I was in high school then and now I'm in uni, continents away from where I used to live and am just getting older and older as time flies. Good to have it back though despite the messy story, Bleach deserves to have a complete anime too. Will re-watch the premiere whenever the dub arrives, hopefully very soon. The color palette is a bit timid but it looks pretty solid overall and a nice, fresh update to its style from how it looked for the majority of its run previously. |
| Finally bleach is back and what a start. The animation and Ost are just brilliant. Dont care what people say but this is the best start we have this fall. After 10 years I can finally say that this lives up to the hype. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
Emersonsm said: I didn't like the pacing of episode, seems way to fast... The pacing is naturally going to be faster, they're adapting 200+ chapters in 48-50 approximate episodes and there's no filler or reason for the anime to just stagnate as the original had to keep on pace with the manga while the anime has all the material it needs to adapt without worrying about catching up too much to the manga. |
Mack_Yeager said: Emersonsm said: It is perfect, maybe the slow pacing in the original bleach might have effected your viewing experience I didn't like the pacing of episode, seems way to fast... Maybe, I prefer a first episode where not many things happen. They fought hollows, after fought a quincy and Sasakibe almost die... all this in an introductory episode lol |
| I just watched the first episode. I'm speechless. What can I say is, this is an anime made with love and care for the original work. Taguchi has already said he was a manga reader, so it's made for fans BY A FAN himself. He's even putting the manga volume's poem at the end of every episode, which is something important the first anime didn't had. 10 years worth waiting for. Bleach fans, be grateful. |

Yeah ofc, but i didn't expect this faster on the first episode, I was thinking something more introductory considering the series took a big hiatus ;) |
Emersonsm said: That's just how the arc is structured lol. All that happens in the first 3 chapters of the arc. Just straight to the action!Mack_Yeager said: It is perfect, maybe the slow pacing in the original bleach might have effected your viewing experience Maybe, I prefer a first episode where not many things happen.

| Over 10 years and we're finally back! I didn't think I'd ever be so hyped for a Shounen again, but I guess Bleach is just Bleach. Ichigo's theme playing during the Hollow fight scene was hype as fuck! |
| That Bankai brought in a rush of nostalgia |
