It was announced on March 18 that popular anime from the Japanese manga series, Bleach would be back. The original adaptation of the series ended in 2012 and the new adaptation continues where it ends and starts at Thousand-Year Blood War arc.
Bleach is a Japanese manga about a teenager, Ichigo Kurosaki who captures the Shinigami (angel of death) and uses it to protect humanity with his friend, Rukia Kuchiki.
Making its debut in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 2001, Bleach has grown into one of the most popular shonen series and is still a favorite among anime fans.
After years of growing popularity among readers, Bleach was finally put to rest because of the writer Tite Kubo’s unstable health.
The real tragedy for Bleach fans came from the anime adaptation of the series. Although the original manga had a satisfying ending, the animation adaptation came to an end before entering the final narrative.
Now the continuation of the anime has been revealed to be in production and will air in 2021. Although many fans have moved on after 8 years, loyal fans are still excited to hear the news announced on Bleach’s 20th anniversary yesterday.
It is considered as one of the top 5 anime series alongside One Piece, Naruto, Gintama, and Fairy Tail. No wonder many fans were disappointed when the series ended.
