Tite Kubo’s Bleach has had its fair share of controversial moments in the past, but the biggest controversial moment of the entire story revolved around the captain of the sixth division of the Gotei 13, Kuchiki Byakuya. Byakuya is one of the strongest characters in the entire story, and he has proven this multiple times.

However, when the Soul Society was attacked by the Wandenreich in Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, Byakuya engaged in a battle with Äs Nödt, one of the Sternritters. Äs Nödt was extremely powerful, and he managed to not only easily defeat the captain but also kill him with his terrifying technique.
While many believed that Äs Nödt’s battle with Byakuya was his final battle, Kubo decided to reverse his death and not only bring him back for a rematch against the Sternritter but also make him win. This led to the biggest Bleach controversy in history,...

Tite Kubo’s Bleach is known for a lot of things, but the most prominent aspect that makes Bleach part of the Big Three is its action sequences. While the series may sometimes lack in terms of the storyline or the characters, it has never failed to portray brilliant action sequences that take the breath away from anime fans.

Kubo’s way of drawing action sequences is completely different from that of any other manga creator. Even legendary mangakas like Eiichiro Oda cannot come close to drawing or even imagining such unique battles. The mangaka once revealed his secret for drawing such great fight scenes for his magnum opus.

Bleach has some of the most complex yet intriguing styles of fighting including the use of bankai. From Byakuya Kuchiki’s Senbonzakura Kageyoshi and Shinji’s Sakashima Yokoshima Happōfusagari to Ichigo’s Tensa Zangetsu. They are visually artistic, mesmerizing, and most importantly; dangerously powerful. There are many who work hard and dedicatedly to achieve their bankai.
Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, Byakuya Kuchiki’s Bankai | A still from Bleach
Tite Kubo’s skills allow not only a spectacle to look at but also a story to engross oneself in completely. There are many who can achieve their bankai, such is the case with how close their bond is to their Zanpakuto. At the same time, there are those who are unable to achieve the same. Aizen is the biggest example of the same. Although he wasn’t able to achieve that, his abilities did not make him feel like he was lacking one.

Among the Soul Reapers in Bleach, their strongest power is their Bankai. A Bankai is the second form of the swords of these Soul Reapers called Zanpakuto, which is considered absolutely lethal and can only be used by the strongest characters in the series. Bleach has featured a lot of Bankai transformations over the years, and each of them is unique in its own way.
Shinji Hirako
However, there is one Bankai that is so terrifying that it has been banned from the Soul Society. This Bankai belongs to Shinji Hirako, who is the current captain of the 5th Division of Gotei 13. The name of his Bankai is Sakashima Yokoshima Happofusagari, and it is considered to be a big threat to Shinji’s enemies and his friends alike.

Often, the special ingredient behind a successful villain is a tera-jerker backstory. You can see it in My Hero Academia (Shigaraki), Naruto (Itachi Uchiha), and many other hit anime. Yet, Tite Kubo managed to create one of the biggest anime villains with absolutely no backstory.
Aizen, the slimy (and handsome) antagonist of Bleach, has conquered innumerable hearts. But how? Tite Kubo never gave him a proper backstory. No one knows why he has an evil mentality. Worst of all! You can’t even tell if you should sympathize with him or not. Turns out Kubo never gave much of an explanation for his intentions on purpose.

A healthy rivalry between manga creators is not a bad thing. But when this rivalry is seen between industry giants like Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, and Tite Kubo, the creator of Bleach, it creates a sense of tension between the fans of both series. In 2017, Kubo stated on a radio show that he was jealous of Oda and hated him.

This led to a huge online feud between One Piece and Bleach fans, and since then, there has been a sense of hatred between the two fandoms.

In a recent interview with Men’s Non-No the producer of Bleach, Yoshihiko Tominaga, disclosed that Studio Pierrot is launching a new studio ‘Pierrot Films’.
By launching the new sub-brand, Studio Pierrot, known for long-running series like Naruto and Bleach, is making a strategic shift, acknowledging the evolving anime landscape and the growing demand for high-quality, shorter-season anime, a trend Pierrot hasn’t always embraced as effectively as other studios.
Tominaga revealed that while the studio excels at long-term productions, it hasn’t always kept pace with the trend of shorter, impactful series like Jujutsu Kaisen. To adapt to this changing audience preference Pierrot Films will focus on producing such projects, starting with the highly anticipated Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War.

This makes it no surprise as to why his magnum opus is also amongst the big three shonen manga. Throughout the course of the series, there were many characters introduced as the arcs went on.

Bleach has been gathering fans for over two decades now, taking in the masterpiece through both fresh and different perspectives.

In a recent interview, Studio Pierrot’s Managing Director, Kiero Itsumi, shed some light on the studio’s approach to handling the working conditions of its employees amidst the evolving landscape of anime production.
Animator’s poor working conditions had been in the spotlight as 2023 wound down, thanks to the insane production scheduling of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2. However, based on Itsumi’s comments it seems that Pierrot has taken major steps to ensure that those working behind the scenes to deliver the final product are well rewarded and in a healthy environment.
The managing director began by noting that anime’s market has expanded, and that these days works of higher quality needed to be produced so that they could complete globally. This has also led to the increase in various costs.
While in the past, animators might have been expected to work with “grit and determination” in order to meet the higher qualities,...

The manga (and its anime) was trendy way before the release of the “Bleach” sequel and is considered one of the signature mainstream anime that shaped the industry. It was right up there with some other big names like “Naruto,” “One Piece,” “Fairy Tail,” “Dragon Ball,” and “My Hero Academia.”

On one hand, while a number of animators and staff members from the anime industry have sternly spoken against the use of AI, anime directors Keiichi Hara and Tomohisa Taguchi, who are veterans in their own right, had an entirely different opinion regarding it.
As reported by Full Frontal, both Hara and Taguchi, who were talking at a panel at this year’s Annecy Festival, believed that AI, which doesn’t complain, get tired or sleep, could be a good tool to replace “lazy animators” and do the work in their place.
This opinion has stirred various sections of fandom, who believed that the directors shouldn’t have made such a comment in light of the recent developments.
Hara was talking about the difficulties of making animated feature films, when the topic shifted to lazy animators “who are being paid without putting in the work that’s expected of them.

Voices That Bring Anime to Life: Celebrating the Best Anime Voice Actors of All Time ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
Japan takes its anime voice actors very seriously to the point where they have special voice acting academies and schools to train them to master their art completely. This is exactly why these professionals are so versatile and have such natural, golden voices. In fact, a large number of avid anime fans prefer watching anime subs rather than anime dubs exactly because of this. Some Dub actors tend to exaggerate and overact as a way to compensate for the inconsistency in translations and syncing. Native voice actors retain the ‘authenticity’ that dubs lack.
The authenticity of the subs is attributed to the voice actors’ talent and how natural they are with their jobs. Here are some of the best Japanese anime voice actors of all time.

We might be entering the dog days of summer but Hulu isn’t slowing down. The streamer’s list of new releases for August 2023 is a pretty impressive collection of content.
The biggest Hulu original this month is season 3 of true crime comedy Only Murders in the Building on Aug. 8. This time around Meryl Streep and Paul Rudd are joining the already-stacked cast that features Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. This season’s central murder appears to take place at a theater (outside the building) but I think we’ll let it slide.
That’s far from the only worthwhile original in August as Aug. 2 sees the premiere of the third and final season of superb comedy Reservation Dogs. That will be followed by South Korean sci-fi series Moving on Aug. 9, Solar Opposites season 4 on Aug. 14, and A Murder at the End of the World on Aug. 29. Of course,...
