Bleach

Y’all may not know but I am a huge fan of the anime series Bleach. And if you are an anime fan I am shocked if you don’t know that there’s a new chapter that will be animated to continue the story on 10/2022, and I can not wait for it to begin. I have been a long-time fan of the series since it first aired in 2004. If you are a fan of the series like I am you can’t wait either. So what is all the hype about, why is this so anticipated, why is the community still going strong after the anime ended almost 10 years ago.

Well if you are a casual fan you may not know that the way the show wrapped up could have been better according to some in the community. Hopefully, this will do a better job at wrapping things up and giving the community an ending that most will accept. In anticipation of this new season, I have started back at the beginning to watch the anime from start to finish. Since the anime has been completed\hiatus for several years it gives me the ability to dive into the series with no seasonal breaks.

I guess at this point the question that is on my mind is? what can this continuation do for us, and why can’t we just read the manga for the true end of the Bleach story. Will this be able to pull the fan base back in, will Bleach have to find a new audience or will it need a combination of both to make it successful? When Bleach first started I was graduating from High School and I just gravitated toward any anime that I could find especially if it was an action anime. But now that I am older it takes more than that to keep me interested in a project. So what does that mean? I know that I am excited about the upcoming project but will it hold my interest for the entire series? Or will it just fall to the side and get overshadowed by the current anime landscape?
