Then I heard around the time of the 20th Bleach Anniversary, they were finally going to animate two things, Tite Kubo's side story Burn The Witch which is about the British Soul Society and MOST IMPORTANTLY that they would be animating the 1000 Year Blood War Arc. I was stoked, like absolutely stoked, I couldn't wait to see it especially with more modern animation. It said October and here we are with the launch being the 10th and it now the 19th, 2 episodes have aired, while I don't know if I'm going to do a week by week episode review I feel like talking about the start of the arc and the first couple episodes.
Let's start off with Episode 1
Things are relatively plain and simple in Karakura Town, we see two young shinigami show up to the town being told that they need to take out the Hollows there and "don't leave everything up to the Substitute Soul Reaper". They head out to defeat Hollows and are very suddenly overwhelmed by not just one or two but at least 10 or more Hollows and it looks like they're easily about to be killed when we see this.........
One of the coolest things in the episode is the way it ends, in a mix of back and forth shots between a Soul Society Captains meeting and Hueco Mundo that Captain Miyuri Kurotsuchi says point blank that even if no one wants to 100% admit it, the ability to exterminate Hollows and the type of powers they possess that it can only be the return of the Quincy. And it is.
THE NEW EPISODE RELEASES TODAY AND LIKE I SAID THE FIGHT IS GONNA BE AWESOME.
THE NEW OPENING SLAPS............JUST LIKE ALL BLEACH OPENINGS DO (I SHOULD'VE JUST EXPECTED IT)
