The advance screening event of the Bleach: Sennen Kessen-hen (Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War) television anime revealed five additional cast, a second promo, and the opening and ending theme artists on Sunday.

The final arc adapting Tite Kubo's supernatural adventure manga will premiere on October 11 at 12:00 a.m. on TV Tokyo affiliates and BS TV Tokyo, followed by Sendai Broadcasting, Niigata Broadcast, and Hiroshima TV.

Cast
Hidetomo Kajoumaru: Wataru Hatano (One Punch Man)
Berenice Gabrielli: KENN (JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 5: Ougon no Kaze)
Jerome Guizbatt: Takahiro Fujiwara (Boku no Hero Academia)
Asguiaro Ebern: Wataru Komada (Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle - Rhyme Anima)
Luders Friegen: Daiki Hamano (SSSS.Dynazenon)

The opening theme "Scar"—will be performed by Tatsuya Kitani (Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi)—previewed in the promotional video below. SennaRin is performing the ending theme "Saihate."

Tomohisa Taguchi (Akudama Drive) is helming the final arc at animation studio Pierrot, and also handling the series composition with Masaki Hiramatsu (Toriko script). Masashi Kudou (Bleach) and Shirou Sagisu (SSSS.Gridman) are returning as the character designer and music composer, respectively.

Kubo posted a pilot chapter in December 2000 prior to the series' serialization. Weekly Shounen Jump debuted the manga the following August. Kubo concluded the manga in August 2016 after a 15-year run. Shueisha published the 74th and final volume in November that year.

Visuals definitely looking something so out of nature for Pierrot, though that's a good thing here lol. Also they didn't confirm that Disney plus rumor.

Not a fan of that four split cours thing, though I guess that's just how it goes these days, making several entries from a single entry.

It turns out that Bleach was so "built into" the mainstream that it's even unusual for me to listen to the Japanese speech of the characters.

Pierrot really put their whole cock and balls into this it looks so fucking good.

I don't mind the split 4-cour since that means we'll be getting consistently dope quality. I'll take that over a continuous run that results in occasional derpy episodes. There's no need for long-runners anymore, let that die with Boruto and One Piece.

Makes sense since the chief animation director for this worked on Akudama Drive, and this is also being directed by the director of Akudama Drive.

Urgh, I hate his post-Gundam Unicorn OSTs. Trashy ripoff of Hans Zimmer, a composer who has gotten trashy himself. Even though it's just a single track the Sawanokeks will be unbearable.

Bleachchads just keep on WINNING. What a sharp trailer, Pierrot's really outdoing themselves because they know this is the most important title in their portfolio. The best news to come out of all this however is Viz using the word 'simulcast', which very well could imply that one of the most hyped titles won't get cockblocked by Disney+ jail after all.

Not happy at all with the split cours. Why is it so hard to make a continuous ongoing anime without any break nowadays? Didn't all the major bigshot animes in the past tend to run for years? All the big 3 were long running series

Also, is it even possible to adopt the whole arc into just 48-52 episodes?

Hell. Pierott has Boruto and that's been airing back to back episodes for like what 4 years now? It is pretty damn annoying that it's being split into cours, even if they take one season off as breaks, that's still 2 year run time. Hell that could mean 2024 until the thing in its entirety is out. They also said they were hella behind so we just gotta deal with it but cours are very annoying. I miss when shows just aired back to back to back episodes. Loved when Sunrise use to do it with all their Mecha in the 80s.

BLEACH TYBW Anime Pacing:

I was shocked out of my mind when I saw that SawaGOAT was involved with this....Bleach is coming for souls lol

Also I heard that it'll have 4 cours with a split in between each one, so I think that'll definitely help build more and more hype and anticipation as the arc goes on (Heard that the first 2 eps that they showed at NYCC was great too)

Really? Split Cours? That is really annoying.

That is the one thing about modern day anime that is just terrible. They want to drag everything out and milk it as long as possible. How hard is it to do 4 cours continuously? FMAB did it no problem.

This pacing is going to be worse than the manga. All my hope for this series just got killed.

I like that this will be in 4 split cours as opposed to a continuous weekly run. It means higher production quality that mimics what we saw in the trailer and I think hype for the series getting revitilized with every subsequent cour, and Bleach deserves all of that for such an important anime for the series and its fans.

This is such an ass-backwards take. Airing a show weekly at lower production quality IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF MILKING IT AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. Taking their time with the production (not the release) and separating it into 4 seasons will let them keep it of high quality and great pace.

Ya you have no idea what you are talking about. This is a direct adaptation of a FINISHED MANGA. There would be no filler at all. Instead of enjoying the entire story at once, we will be forced to take breaks in between each part. That kills the immersion of the story and makes the pacing feel painfully slow in an arc that already has terrible pacing. It will not be a good thing.

I don't think you get just how long it takes to produce high quality action anime. Why do you think there are years between each season of Demon Slayer? Attack on Titan? JJK?

These are all popular titles that have been finished (or near finished) giving plenty of content to animate. It takes TIME to make good anime, it is not just a matter of source material.

It would be ridiculous to expect 56 (?) consecutive episodes of top notch animation consecutively. It also isn't more profitable to split it up into four parts. The only way splitting a show up ever is more profitable is if the time in between is used to make much higher quality content. Not sure what angle they would have in splitting it up to "milk it". That doesn't even make sense.

Edit: They are also adapting 206 chapters into 56 episodes which is a rate of roughly 4 chapters per episode being adapted. This is VERY HIGH comparatively to other series so the pacing should actually be really good. Hell, Kubo has even said he plans to add additional content that wasn't in the manga (not filler, just fleshing out parts he didn't have time to write in the manga) so it should be even faster paced than that rate.

This is Bleach sir/ma'am (idk what you are) everything that you're saying here will most definitely NOT happen lol

Idk if you read this final arc, but them doing it as split cours is genius and will only build up anticipation and hype as it goes on PRECISELY because of how crazy things get during different parts of this arc lol. That and everything Narcopolo said about the production is big facts

wait, how it's gonna be 56 episodes (according to the info) but having 4 splits?
is that means every year gonna have 13 episodes instead of 20 episodes?
simple math people.

at max this could have 3 split-cour, with every part having 18 episodes. but 4??

i understand this is how anime is being made today. but this gonna annoy bleach fans rather than enjoying them lol

Next year, it will be a busy year for bleach. From author, staff, voice actor (sub and dub if their roles aren't changed from eps 1 until kujo ginjo arc) and bleach fans

Hopefully, they can make bleach better than before (especially compare with pierrot anime production)
