Prior to serialization, Tite Kubo published a pilot chapter in December 2000. Weekly Shounen Jump debuted the manga the following August. After a 15-year run, Kubo ended the manga in August 2016. Shueisha published the 74th and final volume in November that year.

Studio Pierrot adapted the manga into a television anime that began airing in Fall 2004 and ended with 366 episodes in Winter 2012, covering the first 54 volumes. The manga also received two Jump Festa specials in June 2005 and March 2006, and four anime films in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2010 December.

VIZ Media acquired the series' master license in March 2006 and published the manga in English in its print edition of Shounen Jump magazine from November 2007 to March 2012. The manga simultaneously switched to the Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha digital anthology in January 2012. The company released the 74th and final volume in October 2018 and the 26th home video installment of the anime in September 2015.

Very good PV, I love the vintage and military feel. The staff seems good as well. I can't wait to watch Bleach again.

That was mad hype on so many levels

This looks fucking amazing, I'm NGL

As whole I have my reservations about the TYBW arc but one thing that nobody can deny is how amazing and hype the first half of it was, so I cannot wait to at least see that greatness animated

Hype!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to see all the incredible fights from the Thousand Year Blood War Arc animated.

I'm really curious to see how much a potentially better production quality and the general build-up of people having waited this long to see the series again will have on general reception, cause this final arc is a really meandering pace that feels like basically feels like all the things wrong with bleach after its first initial arcs showing up in droves.

Lovely aesthetic. Guess I am forward to this. I will enjoy it until it reminds me how bad the last arc was.

Jul 3, 2022 12:36 AM by Tsarko

Yes, it's finally coming and of course we're gonna get extra fight scenes and everything. But the question of the hour will be "Are Visoreds getting avenged this time around?"

It's not filler when the creator is adding stuff that he originally couldn't in the manga due to reasons. It's the complete version.

Bleach TYBW Anime will add Extra Anime Only Fight sequences with supervision of Kubo Sensei https://twitter.com/shonenleaks/status/1543418605798273024
