Just wanted to say I appreciate all the support on this video! I'm pretty new to this type of content so I'm glad people have been enjoying it :)

BLEACH TYBW has been the greatest comeback in anime history

2:30 you can clearly hear how much the VA missed saying that haha. He must've gotten so much nostalgia feelings and happiness by being back there on Bleach

The fact that they said the animation will get even better with the second cour leaves me speechless

The guy that Kenpatchi killed was the ywatch lookalike’s twin brother. The one kenpatchi fought mimics the looks and powers of who they want and the one yamma fought mimics the looks and memories of who they want. They are both the shcrift of yourself

I’ve been waiting ten years for tybw and now that it’s here it is oh so glorious. Much love to my fellow bleach fans.

I loved the "flashbacks" to the original anime, I always held back a tear once I saw a character in their original early bleach animation style and then to see them yassified in todays style T_T just perfection. Also the way they brought back Kon, but muted him down to 5%? Just enough to feel the nostalgia and not to trigger cringe. And the way the world looks so alive, sky and cities look so real, and all the particles, absolute chefs kiss. This new Bleach feel so good.

i hope pierrot does an anniversary thing for bleach just like naruto. i really wanna see ulquiorra vs vl ichigo in tybw graphics and aizen

I truly fucking love how it feel like this series matured with us. I watched this in High School as it was coming out and I’m 30 now and the show matches that. Best anime of all time

Also the "in between infos" (dunno how to call them) contains information that supplements the anime lore. For example in the manga Mayuri pointed out how Ikkaku's bankai was pieced together but doesnt hold the same power anymore and the segments of Renji's bankai that were permanently shattered and cant be restored but ij the anime they cut that part and put it in the "in between infos" of the episode without translation. I blame Viz for not translating it immediately (they already did post it in twitter but it was too late) for the foreign consumers of the show it would be a better experience if they did.

Updated: Bleach is still number 1 on MAL… FMAB fans have accepted the L

I remember reading Kubo said it was a running private joke to make inoues bags bigger each arc and no one on his team ever said anything about it to him so he just kept going

The old bleach was also insanely good.....coming from watching naruto, one piece and the lot i felt the pacing in bleach was intensely good.....like we know ichigo is an op character but he still feels like an underdog which is very hard to accomplish story wise as evident in opm or mob psyco. There are so many side characters with pronounced development it feels closer to natural story telling.....one piece tried this, naruto tried this but its like the main character ended up eclipseing everyone. It even happens in bleach but side character develop enough to achieve something really significant. Iwas literally hooked to bleach and finished from the beginning to the 1000 year war arc in like 1.5 weeks lmao

At 8:59, Kenpachi's enemy wasn't the same as the copycat who fought Yamamoto. Kenpachi fought Royd Lloyd, the twin brother of Loyd Lloyd. Both have the same Schrift, but with slightly different abilities. It wasn't really explained in the anime, but it was shown in the little character-card cutaway after Kenpachi threw down the bodies.

I was blown away by the TYBW anime. It feels like Tite Kubo is taking this opportunity to tell the story properly without Jump breathing down his neck or worrying about weekly rankings. You're right, the narrative flows so much better, it's easier to digest and the anime doesn't make explanations seem ludicrously rushed like the manga. It all just makes sense and clicks. Plus the animation is god-tier. For the first time in so many years, it feels so good to be a Bleach fan.

Noice. I love when Kubo names characters.

9:57 the staff stated it themselves that they promised a better animation quality for the next season. There's a source for it but i forgot lol

i've just finished watching episode 7, and man... i don't want to stop but it's almost 2am now and i have to sleep. the animation is phenomenal, i the fancy effects the powers now have have grown on me quite a bit. it contrasts beautifully with the dark atmtosphere. love the fact that it feels like things are constantly evolving, like the anime has no time to waste.

8:55 the great thing is that the 2 flaws stated were actually completely redeemed, seing as though rukia's bankai was shown off and it turns out loyd lloyd had an identical twin

I loved every second of the 1000 years blood wars and it would really be a banger if they were to do the whole bleach series from start like this animation with no fillers. that would be sick!

I think its cool that when the Series started, everybody thought there was only one Quincy left, but over time, it was revealed there was Quincies in hiding. Very cool.

Great to see more video essay content. Keep up the great work.

speakin of drip, ichigo has red octobers on his shelf

TYBW has lived up to the hype... I'm loving it so far

It's not good, ITS FREAKING CRAZY!! The animation soothes the eye and voice acting is goated.

Bleach has always been good in my eyes

This was a straight labor of love by everyone involved.

Been looking forward to seeing Yamamoto's Bankai being animated for years. I was NOT disappointed.

Because the creator is inspired again ✨ so happy for him, and it shows in his work

Honestly, my favourite change is the blood, there was 0 blood in Bleach before TYBW, a character could literally have half of their entire torso obliterated and not have a single drop of blood come out, but now there is quite a lot of blood, which i like, I mean have you seen how good the Zaraki vs Unohana fight was?

I’m so glad that people are finally giving Bleach the credit that it’s due! I’m in my 30’s I’ve literally been watching Bleach since I was in Highschool in about I believe I want to say 2006 or somewhere around there. But I’ve always loved me some Bleach. Out of the Big 3 it’s my favorite without a shadow of a doubt it is! And my favorite character in Bleach is Shunsui Kyoraku the current Head Captain. *KINDA SPOILERS BUT KINDA NOT BUT KINDA IS LOL*. But Shunsui gets a major moment to shine when they get to the Soul King’s Palace. And if that moment is animated exactly like the manga it will be badass!!! But that’s all I’ll say about that lol.

Not gonna lie right after you mentioned it airs in a midnight slot and that Quincy had his head blown off, I couldn't not laugh my ass off, editing is really good. I really like watching these kinds of videos, Bleach holds a very special place in my heart and seeing it coming back with such a powerful kick off couldn't make me happier. I watched this all growing up as it was coming out and then now here I am 10 years later doing it all over again but with much much more detail, colour, animation, and character appreciation. I fucking LOVE Bleach

Yamamoto's bankai was epic

the fact that genrusai was killed does hurt like a lot he was the main powerhouse and inspiration for any soul reaper and was purely the strongest of them all

When Bleach came out I was too busy in college and working. I missed a lot of shows during that time. I started Bleach just over a year ago but took a break when I hit the part where they are in Hueco Mundo and go right into a filler arc in the middle. I was so put off by that interruption it took several months to go back. I didn't skip episodes like my friends suggested, I just conserved my time better, cut intros, outros, and about 4 minutes every episode of recaps. That made every episode only 15 minutes. I finished it with about 8 months to go for Thousand Year Blood War. I didn't expect it to be THIS good. Watching this reminded me of how I felt the first time I watched Fate/Stay Unlimited Bladeworks. There's so much *eye candy*. It's beautifully done.

6:40 I guess I’m in the minority with this because I loved those goofy scenes.

Honestly, you’re an extremely underrated KZfaqr right now. Pretty sure your channel is going to blow up pretty soon.

damn this video is hype asf for something I found on my recommended, your channel is criminally underrated

I was SO EXCITED for this ! And I’m so sad it felt so short 😭 😭 I want more !!

I’m surprised you didn’t mention the breakout moment of a soul reaper actually dying

Man that last episode gave the actual goosebumps😢❤

I only read the manga into half way into TYBW before deciding to stop since Kubo is adding new material and working directly with the staff to get the best adaptation they can. I love how, to me at least, this adaptation feels just like it’s directly from the manga, the art and even the pacing when binging. Very different from the the original anime episodes adapted I’ve seen at least But somehow takes it to 11 to be better than source material. And it’s just amazing to watch happen Can’t wait for cour 2 in July It’s gonna rock Also Yhwach is pronounced (You-Ha-Ba-Ha) Juha Baha Or for sanity’s sake just call him Juha (You-Ha) Languages are weird

I totally agree with everything you hit on, especially the part about "Greg" And almost all the names of the Quincy . I think he wanted everyone to have seizures attempting too pronounce these...ijs

They managed to capture the one vibe that gave the classic bleach it's feeling

seeing this on my recommended now, 6 months later, is crazy bc we just saw one of the best episodes of all of bleach. And shoutout to 8:55 as well

Tony! I didn’t realize you had this channel; been watching your gaming channel for a while now. Glad to see the this review of TYBW

Feels like everywhere you go you see commentary and critique on old series saying they "were never good, actually". Bleach beat the odds and has people going "oh wait, Bleach was *always* good".

Small correction months after the fact. Kenpachi DID kill that Sternritter. The anime just speeds by it, but there were 2 Sternritter Ys.

if they remastered bleach with anything close to this animation quality and streamlined out the filler it would be a huge win for everyone. it would bring in so many new fans who want to watch TYBW but haven't because of bleachs original rough animation style and 366 episode run.

Yeah this has been a helluva comeback im so hurt how it ended but they gon do it right in this part 2

I couldn’t agree with you more. The visual effects and overall story is better. I noticed that right away. It drew me right in. Can’t wait for the next 13 episodes

Lol just Yuuha is fine...but Greg might be better! XD

The thing that impressed me the most is how they flipped the show on its head in terms of how dark it is. In the og show no one really died or was in real danger but within 8 minutes they slap u am it hits.

I watch the entire one hour video thanks to insomnia and i don't regret anything. Such a good video, so as this, and can't wait for the next one about TYBW part 2.

Mutual takes on multiple cases, plenty of new info and great fun edits inbetween. I shall embrace Greg as a meme now ;dd

The next arc was said to have even better animation

"You ha had better find a better name" legit lols before 7 am! Thank you, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that

0:04 "Almost too good" - so true

Did not not first part of a TYBW yet, and not watching it until the complete thing is finish. Last thing I want is to be left on a cliffhanger...

Im so glad studio Pierrot took its time with Bleach. The jump from Bleach to tybw is such an improvement in anime history godd i love it

You know I would love to see more of the universe Fullmetal was set in, like it doesn't even have to follow Ed and Al it can all be completely new but seeing a more modern animation in that universe would probably be my favorite thing in anime in a long time...

I really didn't expect much from TYBW, but going into it I was blown away honestly. I love the dark turn!

It was so good, I especially love the first episodes outro song

I had dropped Bleach while I was in collage when Ichigo was still going after the Espada, after seeing the ratings of thousand-year blood war I restarted from start and finish it today

I've rewatched the Bleach TYBW a few times now and still mesmerized by the quality of animation

It's quite apparent now in the 2020s that Bleach was probably significantly held back by the anime and Shonen Jump. I heard through the grapevine that parts after Soul Society arcs that dragged, such as Hueco Mundo and Fake Karakura town, had many long "fluff" or "filler" fights imposed on Kubo because of Jump. Why you might ask? Because so many characters were introduced in the Soul Society arc that Shonen Jump pushed very hard for further encounters and fights from these characters despite Kubo having no original plans as such. Especially in the Fake Karurkura Town arc, that's why there are so many "fluff" or "filler" fights that drag, such as Sgt. Kulhorn and the many individual Arrancar fights in the Fake Karakura Town arc that either should have been significantly shortened down if not outright removed to improving pacing and story focus for the arc. The second issue was the anime for multiple reasons. Most noticeable is filler. While not as bad a s say Naruto filler, over 40% of the Bleach anime was filler. Kubo was VERY ahead of his time and not until the likes of JJK and Chainsaw man would we see the more mature edgy and dark type of Shonen being made during the 200s when Kubo was making Bleach. That's why the anime was working against Bleach. The bount arc was too long, too dragged out, and involved something of no significant importance right after the most well known and hyped arc of Bleach. The timing of later filler was also terrible. Interrupting dad stop such as the Grimjow vs Ichigo fight for a "replacement 3rd squad captain" arc as one example was just TERRIBLE timing for very long filler. The only redeeming factor of the filler is that compared to most anime filler, some Bleach filler was fire. The Zampaktou Rebellion arc is legit my standard for filler in anime, very very interesting premise exectuted very well. If only it didn't interrupt the start of the Fake Karakura Town arc (again timng), Now in the 2020s with Bleach returning, with all the previous BS in prior decades gone, we are seeing just how ahead of his time Kubo was and with his vision fully realized the way he envisioned with TYBW arc of Bleach, a Shonen battle anime started about 2 DECADES ago is top tier 2020s anime material, I the same year Bocchi the Rock and FREAKING CHAINSAW MAN came out. It's at least top 5 if not top 3 on most popularity and viewership polls for 2022 from an anime that is NEARLY 2 DEADES OLD! You don't just accomplish this unless you had something super ahead of your time going for you. I sure hope TYBW arc continues to have anime changes going forward to make the final arc much more satisfying than the manga ended up being.

5:15 I actually REALLY enjoyed Aizen, and the Arrancar Arc as a whole. Especially the part where he reveals everything relating to Ichigo as a soul reaper was planned. Maybe it's because I was asking a lot of questions when watching that were answered in that scene. I always appreciate villains like Aizen.

Awesome vid and funny as hell. Enjoyed the dry humor and commentary.

my favourite thing about bleach is that Ichigos power comes from his understanding of himself, for me it gives a great alternative to the typical shounen format of just working super hard (which is still great)

Getting rid of fillers and going straight to the point is its greatest asset

9:02 This guy is Lloyd the twin brother of Royd. It’s explained in the manga but the anime cut it.

“The answer all lies within my body”

His name is yhwach Bach, (yuu-ha-baach-hah), for whatever reason they never spell out the full “bach” portion so the B is a curveball and sometimes and an extra wah or kah at the end for yuu-ha-baach-hahwah or yuu-ha-baach-hahkah, probably related to the context of the line itself

When Kubo is on fire, his work is top notch. Which is why I was sceptical going into this because I really felt that Bleach lost it's flare after the Soul Society Arc.

The fact that Yachiru even has a shikai exemplifies just how ridiculous Kenpachi really is.

I started Bleach from TYBW and got em goosebumps like when u know it's that one show u will love and cherish for a long time and won't forget. Now it's just supreme man

Duuuuude, the baldy who Kenpachi killed was the twin brother of the one who fought Yamamoto, that was cut from the anime for some reason. But Greg did make the difference between them when he "congratulated" the baldy before killing him: he was "R for Royd Lloyd", the one who fought Kenpachi was "L for Loyd Lloyd". The R could copy the looks and memories from other people, and the L could copy the looks and powers, both were the Sternritters Y, the Yourself.

bleach being back brings tears to my eyes its the first anime i ever watched back in highschool whe i thought all anime watchers were weird and it brought about bonding moments with me and my older brother

I remember the most marking scene when I read the manga as a kid is when aisen cut ichigo mostly in half

8:18 had me chuckle out loud, I too keep hearing something different everything someone says Ywach whatsit... 😂

The ending theme song (Saihate) is stuck in my head now.

9:02 he did kill him. there were two of them, which are twins. one that can perfectly mirror an opponents powers, the other that can mimic their memories

seriously i felt the darkness and i frikinnn lovedd the dark thing and seriously the NIGHT scenes are FOKING BLASTT

All im gonna say is - Rukia definitely has her moment coming

I just finished re watching bleach on my own, now i am going to watch it with a friend

Thank you man! I've gravitated quite far away from Anime for the same reasons you really outlined but this was definitely worth the binge! Amazing intro back into the Bleach world!

There is only one thing it's missing. They need to put the adult swim logo in the bottom right corner. Lol

First ep of part two "The Separation" is out.

I only had to wait about half a year for the comeback (but it took 5 years and 4 different streaming services to watch it until then thanks to the rights in germany being sold off every 4 months) and it was honestly the best thing I have ever seen in Anime. Some of those shots and fights we get had me actually scream from exitement and at moments I almost started crying bc I couldn't cope with how awesome something I saw was. I am beyond hyped for cour 2, only a month to wait now!

I went all crazy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’m almost done with season 1..It’s so good, even the filler 😂

i have seen all 13 eps of the new arc and im reading the manga i have 7 chapters left i can not wait to see it all animated so i can binge watch it

New Bleach motivated me to catch up and finish first Bleach. And I gotta say, it was worth. So worth, I finished the manga and cant wait for core 3

I know I watched all of it so far and waiting for the next episodes

A remastered version of Bleach anime with the new animation where there's no fillers, no censorship, and no several very important scenes cut out because it fits a shipping narrative would be amazing. I pray we get that.

That last yhwach sound like "you haba haba" 😂😂

All this hype around bleach makes me want to rewatch it and reread it again omg.

Rukia V As Nodt was easily the fight I was most looking forward to

Love the rehype of bleach and TYW pt 1. Still one of my fav all time. IMO. Pt 1 quality is way up and much better without the filler crap. Still amazed what has happened to some characters so far. Can’t wait for pt. 2. Think everything you touched on him the bullseye. 👍👍

4:20 asta swords are blunt (other than his newest one) so him whacking someone with it kinda makes sense
