Hey everyone- now that I've see the first four episodes; I thought I would go into detail more about this anime as I deal with the summer heat coming early. So, here are my first impressions on Bleach: The Thousand-Year Blood War.
Having read the whole of the manga, the anime does a good job of translating this arc from page to screen even with how much the market has changed in the time the franchise has been absent from the public eye. In many ways, the cancelation of the initial run now comes off like a prolonged hiatus.
Likewise, the anime also wastes no time in establishing what's at stake in the conflict. Much like its precursor YuYu Hakusho and more recent phenomena such as Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (lowkey excited for the Infinity Castle movie); the plot armor is functionally off- anyone can die, or at least; they won't make it through entirely unscathed. The animation is also vastly improved from when the anime left our screens in the previous decade, and Kubo's penchant for memorable character design remains on trend. Admittedly, the idea of an enemy who wants to remove an entire bloodline they deem inferior from the gene pool isn't exactly a stretch these days... make your own assumptions.
Glad I have this out, and it won't be the only anime time jump I'm covering either. Just want you to know that I'm not just drinking Baja Blast and playing Capcom Fighting Collection 2 this weekend, though that's also true. That's all for now, take care.
