Bleach 20th Anniversary Project & Tite Kubo New Work Presentation (News Thread)

[PicardMan]

So we know Viz is hosting the panel rather than Disney. Will the panicking over Bleach getting the Summertime Rendering treatment stop?

8/31: First episode of Thousand-Year Blood War will be screened at NYCC on October 8.

9/7: Reportedly, the opening theme will be "Scar" by Kitani Tatsuya, who had created a new song for last year's Bleach Exhibit in Japan, while the ending theme will be "Saihate" by SennaRin.

9/11: New trailer released. Premiere date set for October 10.

 

[Gold Guy]

Also, apparently it’ll run for four-cours (51 episodes, essentially).

The trailer looks great, and hearing the remixed score made me nostalgic.

Yeah, that remix! Animation looked really strong. I guess they will be announcing who is doing the U.S. simulcast soon. It seems obvious Crunchy snatched it up unless Netflix flexed for it. They are releasing Stone Ocean in 3 cours. Doing 4 cours of Bleach wouldn't much of a stretch. Hm.

But man, that's gonna be nuts. MHA, Mob, Bleach, Chainsaw Man, and I think Gundam premiering all in the same month. Whew!

Viz has confirmed a simulcast.


Probably won't go to Netflix because they don't simulcast and only Hulu and.ir Crunchyroll seem plausible at this moment. With no announcement at D23, the Disney+ rumors are losing credibility.

9/11: So Crunchyroll then. Shocker.

9/12: Description of the premiere. Stills from the premiere.

9/24: New first look released.


9/30: Johnny Yong Bosch confirmed to be reprising Ichigo. Along with Michelle Ruff as Rukia, Derek Stephen Prince as Uryu Ishida, Stephanie Sheh as Orihime, Wally Wingert as Renji Abarai and Doug Erholtz as Kisuke Urahara.

Looks like it ain't coming to Crunchyroll as all of the existing Bleach anime has been removed from the service.

But Hulu renewed their license so I guess they might be a likely simulcast option...

In Canada, Bleach will stream on Star, which is their equivalent to Hulu. Bleach also got removed from TubiTV and Pluto in addition to Crunchyroll. It looks like we have a Sailor Moon crystal situation where Hulu gets exclusivity in the US.

Well, looks like we finally have confirmation of where the new Bleach arc will stream. It’s going to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney+ internationally.

I was already watching it on Hulu anyways, so this works for me .

We still haven't had announcements as to who's playing the villains and who will replace Ikkaku. We'll probably learn that pretty soon.

The English voice role for Chad has been recast. Alain Mesa will voice in for Blood War.

I respect Jamieson Price's stance on this even if I don't think he really needed to do it.

Good for Alain Mesa though even if Chad gets so little dialogue so far .

[Gold Guy]

I’ll never get why they skipped the prologue in the first place, but whatever, better late than never. Hopefully this also indicates that Kubo will be returning to the manga soon.
