The first season of Bleach premiered in 2004, and it concluded with 366 episodes on March 27th, 2012. After that, fans were left wondering if the anime would ever return. Well, after almost eight years, Tite Kubo confirmed that the anime is coming back to adapt the manga’s final arc, “Thousand-Year Blood War.”
A few months back, Studio Pierrot released the first trailer of Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War Arc to confirm a Fall 2022 release. The trailer gave us a good look at the upcoming episodes’ animation style. However, the community is now eager to learn more about the final season’s production. Well, we can expect more news around Bleach as the anime is getting a panel at Anime Expo 2022.
