What Saved Bleach
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Bleach is a series that doesn't need much of an introduction. A part of the big 3 along side Naurto and One Piece, Bleach has seemingly always been the underdog of the 3. With the anime coming back to finally animate the Thousand Year Blood War arc however, it seems that things are beginning to change... but what, if anything, saved Bleach from being forgotten?

*IMPORTANT NOTE* Something that happened in the making of the video was the VA for Rukia confirmed that the anime was originally green lit back in 2016. I meant to put some text on screen, when talking about how the anime was always geared to come back at some point. But since I didn’t I’m leaving this comment here. It doesn’t change really much about the video except really confirming my point that it was always going to come back, but still something important to be mentioned.
WOOOO
YOU DO NOT LIKE BLACK CLOVER
Super Eyepatch Wolf saved Bleach.
What's the name of the ost 3:55 it sounds familiar
Damn that was 6 going on 7 years ago. Btw I dug up an old Bleach AMV beta I made 12 years ago that's still up on YT. Enjoy.
ua-cam.com/video/70NJdjVKn5E/v-deo.html
TYBW is going to be the anti-Boruto. No filler, Covering multiple chapters per episode, great animation, and people actually want to see it.
There is going to be filler, just in a way it wont ruin things. That's kinda what Kubo said at least.
Edit: I know it wouldn't really be called filler since the manga ended, what I meant was its going to be expanded upon in a way where it wouldn't seem rushed.
@@jaccoblaponsie7729 I think it's better than that. Since Kubo is so closely involved with the production, and some parts of the manga weren't well received, Kubo has made "Anime Cannon" scenes. So it isn't manga cannon, but it isn't completely devoid of plot and story, like how Kubo said he was going to alter the ending in the anime.
Im always confused when people say they dont want filler to their favourite shows, if its your fav show then you'll be happy to see ya boi ichigo go grocery shopping, chilling on the beach ect.😂 i'll take any screen time.
@@Natsuki29 I mean. Personally even though bleach is my favourite anime, I never enjoy watching filler. I mean what's so interesting about seeing nothing meaningful happen? I suppose I've done worse things with my time though.
@@galactictddev7615 well ye but its basically slice of life to me
I love how ichigo said "See you later" at the end of ep 366, he wasnt lying
Trueee
True, but he sure take it too long. 😅
@@brunobarbosa9876 Yeah cuz 10x10x10 = 1000 Thousand Year Blood War
It was part of Aizen’s plan
I mean, the manga would go on for another 4 years after that
The comeback is well deserved, I hope Kubo is just as happy as all of the fans!
I hope so too
For me the comeback was this last arc, found the anime very mid until I read the TYBW arc and it became one of my favorite anime/manga. Let’s hope it stays that way with the anime adaptation
He's not.
Hoping Kubo restarts the Manga after this. Probably won't happen but I really hope so. Or even a spin off of the future like they did with Boruto (but better of course)
@@alexhp1282 with all due respect, if the last arc is what made you describe the series as your fav anime/manga. Wouldn’t it be safe to assume that you didn’t think of the whole entire series was mid? I don’t see how a drastic change in mindset could happen with just an ending arc. Wouldn’t that just show you liked the Mid series?
bleach brave souls imo has done a good part of keeping bleach alive. we've had voice actors for tybw characters for years now
Honestly I'm happy they kept the voice actors used in the game for the anime, they did an amazing job picking them out
Exept Yamamoto
@@TomLR no shit, original voice actor is dead
@@Tom-ws6qo welp, some peoples doesn’t know even now
@@TomLR fair
Jaymes and MrTommo really grinded Bleach for soooo many years.
I'm so glad it got the chance to show everyone how really good Bleach is. I'm so frckn glad.
Edit James name out, dude is a goober.
@@Mugetsu2021 Why?
Mr.Tommo is Bleach Daddy :)
Awesome dudes fr, don’t forget DBZimran tho
@@arkfish Throw Totally Not Mark in there too. I never really understood Ichigo and Orihime until he pointed out how the two of them are the same and make the same bad decisions that lead to the same bad consequences. Knowing how TYBW ends, it leaves things more satisfying to see how Orihime tried to compensate for Ichigo's flaws.
Big props to the content creators who kept the Bleach community alive even after the manga ended. People like MrTommo, DBZimran, Clyde, and JaymesHanson, polarizing as he might, kept the community alive with their analysis videos that made others appreciate the series more and news content that made us cling on to hope of its eventual return. The fanbase wouldn't be as big as it is now without them.
It sucks because I wanted to talk about more content creators who made Bleach content, and give a more in-depth look at them, but I would’ve strayed so far from the video’s topic I couldn’t lol
Jaymes lost me a lot recently but I will forever be a fan of his for all his work
Jaymes genuinely gets on my nerves with his clickbait titles it’s really annoying to look at.
Tekking was great too
@@shiroufan5401 Lol. I was just thinking the same thing. Jaymes made a video 2 months ago called "HUGE BLEACH Anime Hell Arc Update". This made it seem as though Kubo would at least hint at continuing the Hell arc. And yet, all Kubo said regarding if he would continue the hell arc was:
"I am not good at drawing when I am told to draw, so I will think about it when I stop being told to draw."
Then he had the gall to still act as if this was some big news. WTH!? It's not even good news! Kubo is literally saying that he will only continue the Hell arc if he feels like it. That can mean that it may even be years before he feels like continuing Bleach.
The anime was greenlit right after the manga ended (ended end of 2016, anime greenlit 2017), so bleach didn't need saving lol
You're right actually. Can vaguely remember seeing UA-cam videos about it's announcement being teased and stuff related to hunting towards it.
Yup! I actually meant to put that as a note in the section talking about how Bleach was always going to come back at some point, since it really backs up what I was talking about in that section. That interview happened when I was already almost done, but I was happy to hear about it regardless!
Man I love that it is coming back. Hope the author stays in good spirits.
Same here!
He is, he always talked and continues to talk about how horrible his schedule was for work, and now he only makes manga when he wants to
@@cameron2900x Which is for the best. I'd rather wait two years to get an excellent product like New Breaths From Hell than get a rushed product. Kubo is a good story teller and he's only gotten better over time.
After the manga ended I was disappointed by people reactions. Discovering Bleach channels like Jaymes Hanson, Mr Tommomo, Simo Urahara, Dbzimran really made me understand what a community I was in and that my support matters. I never doubted on the manga return and I am really happy that perception of people on the manga is shifting.
... the last 2 arcs were abysmal. So fucking boring dude. It's probably fine if you have nothing else to compare it to but Bleach became THE MOST imaginatively bankrupt series in Shounen Jump the moment Aizen got taken down. They practically ended the series before re-animating it's withered corpse for 2 arcs that nobody could bring themselves to care about. What a painful time to be a manga reader man. I lived through that shit. It was terrible.
@@sindri1447 A shame for you, but if it was truly the case they'd be no anime adaptation of the TYBW. You didn't like nor wanted the manga arcs after Aizen's defeat, but many people liked and wanted it, so here we are today.
Bleach sound track is one the the best
Easily
And the drip
This video took 12 minutes to answer the title question that "what saved Bleach" was obviously a new remix of Number One.
It's just such a banger!
@@AntwanShiro Unironically didn't care much about Bleach's return before and during your whole video. But then you hit that Number One, and I instanly vividly remembered a soundtrack of Ichigo's inner world (techically it counts as Zangetsu's theme, I guess?) that I listened on repeat for hundreds of times while being an edgy teen in school, and all the other 11/10 tracks.
And right now I'm going through recaps of episodes after Aizen's defeat (last thing I remembered, even though watched till the end) to check out the new episode after work on the weekend. So I was half-joking, Number One (and whole OST in general) really did save Bleach for some people. Good job on reminding me about that, thanks x)
@@tonyhouse8500 The music in his inner world is "Nothing Can Be Explained". It is one of my absolute favorites from the OST. Funnily enough the artist behind it is someone of whom very little info exists online.
It's also hard to find any copies of that song with the lyrics being sung online for some reason, which is a shame as that's my favorite version of it.
I went to my country's largest comicon this year, MCM London and there was orihime and yourichi and gender bent ichigos cosplays and I had to go and say how much I loved them all
That's so wholesome 🥰
TBH Burn the Witch was the first sign Bleach would be back, given the reveal at the end of the first arc that it took place in soul society west branch and that the word Bleach was hidden in the colorized logo for Burn the Witch
Nope the first sign was Jump Force
Honestly, when I first saw Burn The Witch and that ending scene, i felt like Bleach was about to come back. Kubo was again charging with other bangers, then there was the "celebratory volume" of the manga and Kubo deciding to CONTINUE it. It gave me hope like nothing else and then there was the reveal
"Bleach anime ended because what else could they animate?"
That didn't stop Boruto did it?
If I had to guess, fabric conditioner.
Tide pods are the real villain of the final arc
@@AntwanShiro its not saved because whole europe is still waiting!
Bleach Brave Souls keep bleach alive and money from bleach brave souls contribute a lot to anime. There is no any anime android game can last for 7 years until today. After anime ended, bleach community really small.. Try to find a way to support bleach. Then we see Bleach Brave Souls Collab with Tite Kubo. We support the game until today. Loyalty bleach fan for decade make anime bleach return.
Yo I wanna shout out the bleach subreddit, it was active the entire time bleach was on hiatus, YES HIATUS NOT CANCELED. The subreddit shared any news on bleach it could, it was a place for bleach fans to go and keep the discussion going to support the show
Bleach is my favourite anime from the big 3. I think Bleach reaches an older crowd while the other 2 were geared to a younger crowd. That's one difference besides the other 2 animes having a "true goal". Ichigo's True goal isnt in the forefront as much as how it is in other 2 around its time
Same also you make some great points
He doesn't have the same cliche I'm gonna be number 1 mc attitude the symbolism and emotion is a lot more subtle with character growth with Ichigo compared to the other two.
although naruto was my first childhood anime, bleach was the first anime that I literally supported. I remember buying a lot of dvd and blu rays of bleach. So I was very sad when the anime ended back in 2012, people always made fun of bleach saying it's bad but now I'm glad people are appreciating bleach more.
People always underestimate the sheer size and tenacity of the Bleach fandom. I could be wrong, but I think the hate bandwagon perhaps made hardcore fans double down and defend the series harder, out of their love for Bleach certainly but also a little out of spite. From personal experience, during the manga's weekly release, I would be the first to criticize the flaws of the later half of the last arc, but as soon as haters started talking shit, and especially when their criticisms were all the same tired arguments echoed by a bunch of content creators, I suddenly found the need to turn up and download the game, buy the merch and novels, and bring home the manga volumes. In a way, the haters kinda ironically helped keep the fandom alive.
I love Bleach so much. Naruto and Bleach remain tied as my favorite of long-running Manga & Anime and I have nostalgic connections to both. Love the characters in Bleach, but I loved the themes and philosophies within the Bleach World(s). Sure at times I enjoyed how flashy Naruto got with their characters and abilities, but something about Bleach being centered on the Spirit world, the concept of Hollows and one's own power (manifested in zanpaktuos, Bankai etc) was something I loved way more.
The idea that Bleach sucks and is "the worst of the Big 3" I find to just be middle school mentality bullshit from people. Discrediting a Manga/Anime just to prop your fav up, or because said property has a following just shows such a lack of appreciation of the art of Manga & Anime. I personally don't like One Piece...but I respect and understand its significance and popularity of the medium of Manga and Anime. But people rather not be that way and need a punching bag/scape goat. People do this with Naruto a lot, but I personally seen/feel that Bleach catches way more hate.
I honestly feel the same way. I get not liking one of the 3 as much as the other, but I feel people go too far when they have to say one is worse compared to the one they like so they can prop it up. I think they all offer something unique and they all might deal with certain issues, but I don’t think you could consider one objectively bad, then praise another. Since for the most part I feel their issues in each are relative. Atleast in the sense that the issues in one don’t outweigh the issues in another.
Did I just find the one other person on the net that doesn’t love One Piece?! I’ve tried five or six times to watch One Piece before making myself stick to it. I’m now on the Punk Hazard arc. Enies Lobby and Marineford are the only arc’s I liked. The rest I watch casually while cleaning up or browsing the internet.
I think it's also fair to say that at least in the West, Naruto and One Piece were marketed more to a younger audience, where as Bleach was mostly just on Adult Swim. People tend to have a fonder memory of shows they grew up with rather than ones they may have found a little later in life.
That's true even the return TYBW is as poorly advertised over here
Bleach isn't exactly a show you can show to kids. They'd basically have to guy huge sections of it to even have a chance on Cartoon Network
@@martinkorlie also true
I really do wish more people would bring that up because in the West/America that was a huge reason for people not having watched it. Bleach in general as well is also more mature and heavier, and brings up topics and themes surronding Buddhism that 100% went over a lot of peoples heads.
I grew up with the big 3, but I lived in the middle of no where with no cabel or internet, yet Naruto and One Piece were easier to watch/read than Bleach. But I loved Bleach more and did what ever I could to watch and read it, which also meant having a subscription to Shonen Jump back when it was a physical magazine.
I also don't remember Bleach leaving Adult Swim for toonami since toonami wasn't back yet, but I do remember Naruto in particular going between CN and DisneyXD and One Piece being on 4kids
I believe Supereyepatches "The Fall of Bleach" and videos like it as well as counter videos to it like DbzImrans "Bleach Ruined Reputation" help generate noise for Bleachs name. In addition to DBZimran there was Clyde who was breaking down Bleach and the power system and how strong characters were, and Mr Tommo.
They have a voice for defenders of Bleach and created a united front that showed that Bleach was always a member of the Big 3, and that it is very well liked for VERY valid reasons in it's story telling, combat, and art.
Yeah but these people came by recently like 2 years ago meanwhile you have Jaymes over hear a decade announcing it's coming back
I got goosebumps when you mentioned Bleach Brave Souls cause I wholeheartedly believe it definitely did help. They have the bankais of all the captains and a lot of manga content. I felt that was amazing to bring that to the game and like you said, it was one of the reasons it made the anime exciting to come back.
I feel like JJK and Demon Slayer were also big factors cause a lot of people said they were inspired by bleach (that be true or not). It's what got me started on watching bleach and I am glad to say I finished it just waiting for the TYBW to be fully released
This video WILL blow up in the bleach community, S teir script, crazy montage, and shouting out small content creators. the thought that a young teenager buying shirts, manga, & fighting for my life in the lunch room trying to prove that bleach is goated, staying loyal and passionate about something thats been with me & cancelled for around half of my life man. The switch to you saying that I (we) helped this come in to fruition gave me chills man. Then after putting us in our feels man pulls out a FIRE montage🔥🔥🔥W video
Thank you I'm happy that you enjoyed it and think so! :)
I love the fact that you brought up Bleach Braves souls. That game carried the Fandom imo, along with loyal content creators. This was further perpetuated by the introduction of characters from the TYBW which brought so much hope with them. God that game made depressed sometimes 😔 but it was one of pillars of Bleach's resurgence.
I feel you, I can't tell you how many times I got screwed over... I didn't even get one of the 7th anniversary characters I pulled so hard for that Ichigo and Uryu
dude Flame of Rebirth have best bleach analysis out there he truly breaks down every character in smallest pieces and explain them.
Also Simo Urahara not so famous one but he was supporting bleach from the moment he created his channel, and he has some pretty good videos too
I feel like I enjoy Bleach more than most anime/manga fans. I personally think it's a very close contender for the best of the Big 3, and don't understand why it gets so much hate.
What hurts bleach when contending for the big 3 is really two things. One; 2 back to back arcs having the same plot. (Girl gets captured, ichigo has to save them). Couple this with the fact that now, a lot of characters previously useful in the Soul Society arc are now useless (Renji, Chad, Orihime, Rukia to some extent) and now you have a carbon copy arc with boring characters and dragged on fights (szayelaporro). If more side characters got their time to shine in the Hueco Mundo arc in a more meaningful way it would have been much more enjoyable. Next is the lack of foreshadowing to Ichigo's powers and abilities. There was even a scene changed from the manga where Ywach tries to tell Ichigo his name but the panel is blank, preventing us AND ichigo from hearing it and leaving us guessing. In the anime, in this scene Ywach instead says "Zangetsu" which completely undermines the foreshadowing placed by the manga.
@@Latte_Lord Incorrect on the foreshadowing part. When old man zangetsu first tries to tell ichi his name, his voice is buzzed out. Even in sub it shows a blank.
Same
The Soul Society arc and Arrancar arc are not carbon copies of each other. Yes, there are parallels from a broad scope such as rescuing girl, but if you take a closer look its fundamentally not the same. They had to rush and fight to save Rukia, because she was going to be executed, but Orihime on her terms, agreed to go thinking if she did she would "save her friends". There was a rush to save Orihime, but there wasn't much of a need for a fight. Grimmjow pointed this out saying "You could've just taken Orihime and left but you stayed for a reason", indicating that Ichigo isn't fighting to to protect, he's fighting because he wants to. On top of the fact that, while rescuing Orihimie is important to our characters, in the over arching story its not important and was just used as a way to separate the Soul Society's forces. Plus the Soul Society Arc was primarily a story about uprooting and changing established systems if those systems are only there because "that's just how its always been", the Arrancar arc is definitely not about that. I could go way more into detail and point out all the differences, but I think you get my point. Also, there wasn't anything changed in either the manga or the anime when Ichigo first meets "Zangetsu". In the manga the panel isn't blank but it's actually scratched out with black scribbles (Ichibe scratched it out). In the anime the sound is just distorted and Ichigo says "I couldn't hear his name". It's not until training with Urahara, where Ichigo calls out the name "Zangetsu".
I personally think there's two huge reasons why it got left behind when it came to the Big 3 and few other minor reasons.
The first main reason is that Bleach doesn't take advantage of the great ingredients that it had to make a good dish, it really doesn't take advantage of how interesting it's characters were, most didn't really have a complete character arc and there was no nuance in exploring them. There's a reason why there were no deaths in Bleach as significant to the fandom as there are for the One Piece and Naruto fandom, both having quite a few of those "traumatic deaths".
Same thing happens with World Building, Bleach once more had a lot of potential: Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, the Wandenreich and even smaller groups like the Vizards and the Fullbringers, all of these were really interesting groups, societies or cultures, but they were so heavily under explored that when you start to really break them down, they aren't really that distinguishable or unique from one another.
The 2nd biggest reason is the recipe for the dish, Bleach's main plot was probably the strongest of the 3... until Aizen's defeat that is, after that it just went downhill, the pacing and originality simply dissapeared, and the latter is even more of a problem considering that Kubo already struggled with bringing original ideas to it's story, which can be shown in examples like the one Christian gave, sure, there's a different context in both arcs, but you need way more than to tell two stories using the same structure.
To me Dbzimran is the mvp of restoring bleach’s reputation his videos explaining in so much detail every single aspect of bleach from characters to news settings reviews explaining the motives of each faction and individual character using real world references and examples is unmatched also the fact he had the balls to call out bigger UA-camrs for their factually wrong reviews of bleach and gatekeeping the series in a good way for us the og fandom makes him the best imo
I was expecting this video to have alot of views when I went to like it…… youtube algorithms be bugging to not show more people this vid!!
Thank you!
I think they knew a long term (10 year) comeback would be super successful. Of course, the games helped, but I honestly don't believe that there's more people that hate/dislike Bleach. As a member of the big 3 (as controversial as it was), there was no way a comeback wouldn't be as big as it has been. It's like when Hajime No Ippo took years to get a new season (which I am still waiting for a season 4!). Bleach may or may not have been the best of the big 3, but it definitely deserved a spot there. Plus, nostalgia hits super hard after such a long break as well.
Especially when it's the best arc are with animation on par with the top contenders of animation being uncensored great pacing it's just all so peak and that nostalgia hit tops it off.
Answer : Fans. Well, technically #Aizen 😎
What saved Bleach is none of the current anime/manga actually compare to how good it is.
I’m so glad the hate has swung by the other way. I’ve been defending its honor to my anime friends for so long 😂
I'm like you but in a way it's also kinda annoying. I remember playing episodes of the anime back in the day for some friends and they said it was trash/boring and now some of those same friends are starting to say its good. The only change is its popular again so it just feels like a bandwagon now.
bleach was the 1st sub anime I watched and the only show that made me rush to the manga after it finished just to have more bleach. I will always have a soft spot for this show
Bleach is going to be far more exciting to what than Naruto/Boruto and One Piece that's for sure.
Actually, the main reason why Bleach was not being animated after it ended wasn't because the studio was busy. It was because Bleach's last arc, Kubo went all out and did not censor any blood and gore.
Pierrot is known for it's family friendly content so if they were to animate Bleach, it had to be put into adult swim which they just didn't want. Alternatively, if they did censor it, they would censor it so much it would he unrecognisable from the source material. It was not worth it in their eyes.
After deliberation, they finally decided to make Bleach's tybw since Kubo hinted at a continuation arc. And more content means more money.
Bleach never fell off. The manga had trouble keeping up with the anime... which led to filler... and people complained about the filler... so guess what they did? They waited until the manga was finished so that there wouldn't be filler. People forget they have an impact on the industry.
I started bleach a couple months ago I was off and on about watching it but I committed I’m currently on episode 301 aizen just beat everyone and left without even fully finishing it I can see why this is held too such a high standard with the likes of Naruto/OP and I see why aizen is easily one of the greatest shonen villains ever.
tbh i really like Bleach more than Naruto cause of the supernatural stuff but i really like Naruto too but One piece is the one i love most and the thousand year blood war arc looks so darn good its crazy
They all honestly have something interesting and unique to offer, I think that’s what makes them so great. If you want pirates and world building, boom One Piece. You want ninjas and lore, boom Naruto. You want cool fights and poetic writing, boom Bleach!
Feels good after ten yrs. I still own the first three seasons from 2007.
Great Video. To me what saved Bleach was the fans that stuck around after it ended. I, like many others, stayed around in the fandom, and it's true Bleach didn't end off strong and had a lot of missing information regarding many characters in the manga, however, that does not make it a terrible manga/anime overall like people once said before the hype came back. Also, the UA-camrs who kept bleach relevant deserve come appreciation from the fandom and even Kubo himself.
Honestly Tekking made me start Bleach, I watch all of his one piece reviews and I really respect him and so when I found out he was a Bleach reviewer it made want to try it out.
It is credible to thank PLATINUM Equinox, the man who made a petition for Bleach anime return which was signed by John Young Bosch & Masashi Kudo.
Bleach fans where more mature and higher in IQ ,so they criticized their favorite manga a lot hoping it will improve. While the dumb narutards and low IQ one piece fans where tribalistic, and defended what ever their mangaka churned out. This created an imbalance in popular opinion against bleach. That's how 'bleach is not good as other two' idea arise.
Thanks to our love for bleach we are able to see it once again.
“It made money!” Favorite quote
I’m happy you enjoyed it!
Bleach was on Hiatus because of Tite Kubos health issues he had while writing Tybw it never got canceled
Like you said, all bs aside, i feel like we bleach fans are one of the most loyal fans out there.
for real i just can’t pick anything over this
Bleach is my favourite anime. Bleach is part of me. Bleach is what makes me happy anytime.
Bleach... is my soul.
The fans are die hard through all the clown from the ignorant weebs that thought bleach was cancel from popularity to the little kiddies that think dragon ball is a part of the big 3 we've endured it all and now our reward.
Fuck boruto Bleach 1st epi very good.. excellent bgm..very good vibe
Btw rukias voice actor said bleach anime was green lit back in 2017 but I’m guessing something happened
I discovered Bleach through 2013 and 2014 and I'm so hyped that it's coming back ^^
I think a factor on why I think bleach is "bad" is because of the fillers and the "disappointing" ending it got.
Now a factor on why I think bleach is suddenly hype again is because Kubo-sensei said that the when the anime is coming, he would change things kinda like the Snyder's cut. How he originally wanted things to happen, his vision so to say
I used to commission Orihime and Rangiku r34. Good times...
Bro Bleach is just awesome. I use to dislike it but it has grown on me maybe that's because I'm an adult now since it seems to be the most mature show out of the big 3. I assume lots of other people have come to this realisation as well.
Bleach is my favorite of the 3, the war is legendary.
I love all the openings and endings of Bleach TYBW, but would have been cool if they just went with the very first Asterisk by Orange Range
I personally never lost interest in Bleach, I have alwyas loved it.
And the novels are brilliant, never thought I’d enjoy a “written” fight scene, but I did🤷🏻♀️
Ayyyyy
Another cool video
Also first comment
Ayyyyyyy
I've been hoping that the anime will eventually steer off the path that the manga eventually took because of it's sudden cancellation and instead tell the story he wanted to. He apparently had the end result planned out for awhile but the last little bits were rushed because of the unfortunate disagreement with shonen jump.
They confirmed that there will be a lot of added content to things such as fight and I’m going to assume storylines. However the cancellation wasn’t for the reason you might think. Tite Kubo halfway through the arc started having a lot of issues with his health, which contributed to the pace being picked up. He stated he ended it the way he wanted to (in terms of the actual ending not how he went about it), but he was in a rush to finish it because he wanted to atleast finish it before he had to stop because of his health. There’s a couple videos that go more into detail and show actual interviews done with Kubo about what he thought about the ending, but that’s a brief run down. Regardless it was unfortunate we couldn’t see more from certain fights or storylines, but I’m sure the anime will flesh it out
Fights backstory fleshed out lord and power system explanation will be added to the anime from what we've heard this is what Kubo wanted for the manga. It's gonna be one of the few times the anime will be better than the manga.
Bleach brave souls saved the anime. Nuff said.
Personal opinion!: I think one of the major things holding back Bleach's popularity was the overall palatability of it to Western and younger audiences.
Bleach roots itself in a lot more tradition than Naruto or One Piece do first off. Just compare the sets and the worlds these stories take place in: Bleach has a lot more accurate Japanese influences, whereas Naruto fulfils the concept of the 'ninja' Western audiences were so mystified by at the time, and One Piece has a lot of cultures not derived from Japan mixed in. Its only been recently that there's been a resurgence of factual Japanese tradition really, and so Western audiences weren't as amused by the non-glamourised sets the world takes place in (or, more accurately, not AS glamourised - from what I know Japan doesn't have a 24/7 nighttime desert or Seireitei but oh well). One example of Western audiences being turned away was when Ichigo attained his fullbring for the first time. A lot of people not familiar to Asian culture kicked up a fuss over the uh...shape of it, remember? This made the anime unpalatable to Western audiences, really, putting a major dent in its popularity.
Another issue was that it's actually a relatively dark anime in comparison to the lighter plotlines of the Big Three. Its literal theme is death, something not a lot of young kids would want to watch too often. Even the overall look of the main characters is themed around the colours black or white. Comparatively, the other members of the big three had characters that were so distinctly bright and colourful it made advertisements containing them more eye catching and interesting. Tite Kubo's character design is amazing, but it does feel oddly dark in comparison to the other characters in a shounen jump weekly magazine. Once again, another indent in its popularity.
I think now was the best time for Bleach to return. As a society we've grown to enjoy darker and comedic stories like these a little more, and grown an appreciation for accurate and non-Westernised culture in the way that Bleach presents it. I'm happy its returned, and I hope the new season can sway popular opinion towards it being a massive player in The Big 3 and a massive W for Shounen as a genre.
i grew up watching the big 3.... i loved all of it... during its run time it was huge... i was there.. it was as huge as the other 2 show thats why kids of my era coined it the big 3.... we named that term... all my friends know the show...
Putting no.1 at the end really made me just stop myself from closing the video.
Who even outtro.😂
Well if you put tybw no.1 version....everyone will.
To me, what save Bleach is the growth or the internet. And by that, i mean the millennials and gen z. Bleach is a much more mature series compared to the other 2 of the big 3. And it's not to detriment in any way to the other 2 of the big 3, which are amazing, is just some arcs of Bleach, like the Fullbringer arc (my favorite), is something you probably can get the full grasp on, only when you pass some stages in your life. Which generally you never get across when you're young, as you shouldn't get across those. Each phase of life is beautiful because it's different. Just, as now, since a lot of people who grew with the internet has grown into adulthood or at least young adulthood, they can actually see what is amazing of this series. It just aims to a different audience
I feel like the bleach story shows how powerful and misguided false narratives today.
People nowadays talk about MSM and act like UA-camrs and content creators offer more honest feedback, which isn't completely true or untrue. Truth is weather you're on TV or a UA-cam page your voice holds weight and you as a content creator has a responsibility to be honest same as someone on TV. Difference is alot of those people were taught this concept and a lot of UA-cam content creators are just ridijt the hype wave for views unaware or unconcerned w the responsibility of their actions.
I think bleach showed that the longer these content creators and UA-camrs are around than they will eventually be held to the same standards as everyone in media. And they should be.
Good video! Thanks!
amazing video
Thank you I'm glad you think so!
Why is this video making me cry smiling
Nah I read Naruto & Bleach from beginning to end. Midway both got me bored & only kept reading because i was in too deep & wanted to know how it ended (+ hoping something interesting would happen, since I saw so much potential in both Bleach & Naruto)
I've not watched One Piece but I have watched Naruto and Bleach. If the Big Three is a worthwhile category then I can compare it with Naruto. I enjoyed Bleach (at least the main arcs) but I couldn't watch it consistently because of how broken up the arcs were by long filler arcs. I watched all of Naruto and Shippuden pretty consistently in a much shorter length of time than Bleach. Although there are similar problems with all of the shonen I've watched, the power scaling issues felt much more pronounced in Bleach than in any other, including DBS (which I thought had ludicrously confected scaling problems). I must say though that I think Bleach had one of the best soundtracks out of the anime I've watched, almost entirely because of shiro sagisu; Number one (and it's variants), Chokkaku and the Spanish guitar pieces for example.
Me still wondering why Yoruichi doesn't use/have her zanpakuto and telling me that she's better in martial arts won't cut it! Atleast show us it, please.
Bleach is number 1. I like it more than I like Naruto. One Piece? Overrated trash 🗑️
Naruto for sure but cmon, OP is good, not as good as bleach tho
People love hating on the big three. I remember when naruto was ending you couldn't find a video that wasnt talking shit about it. The same with bleach. I'm sure when one piece ends there'll be a year when the online community will only talk shit about it.
It’s kinda sad really, that everyone was shitting on bleach. I just finnished the anime and it’s actually my favourite of the big 3
4:15 lmao black clover shade. Gonna be real though, if you count tokyo ghoul season 2 then the only show in there that's better than BC is Kingdom
I always thought the lack of background reason was the most dumbest reason they gives. If kubo is not good at bg(not saying he's bad at it, tybw and burn the witch bg arts are amazing) he can just hired bg manga assistants to draw for him, it not like he lacks any money to hired a couple of them.
All according exactly as Aizen planed
I disagree with one point. I do think the repetitive structure of the story arcs contributed to its reputation as the "lesser" of the big 3. Not to the point to say it's bad, but it was pretty obvious.
i binged the tybw arc (manga) in 3 days while having nubber one on the background. one of the 3 days i read 10 volumes and heard number one so much that i know it by heart lol
What saved bleach is bleach brave souls
What saved bleach is not letting mappa ruin their show with FUCKING CGI
MrTommo2304 is also a great Bleach Content Creator that I would recommend
as someone who is a bit older and was watching the original series weekly as it went live, Bleach suffered badly during the manga writers strike (07-08). the anime teams made their own arcs which fell flat and why the anime caught up to the manga so quickly. Cause the fillers were not liked by the viewers it ended up getting a bad rep and lost a lot of viewers. The word at the time was jump wanted to bring something else in and as it had caught up to the manga it was going to not bother with the fillers and was one of the first to stop fillers and it was to be picked back up, we didnt expect it to take 10 years though...
This was exactly why I dropped Bleach back when episodes were released weekly. They kept making filler episodes where all the characters did was talk about each other instead of moving the story along. Full on filler arcs were terrible but at least somewhat entertaining because it had an actual storyline, but what sucked the most were episodes where literally nothing happens, and the characters would just talk. Like the episodes leading up to Aizen trying to break the boundaries of Karakura town. I totally dropped the series after that
I think I can pinpoint when I went back to Bleach.
A couple years ago Death Battle made a video. I don't remember if it was the Ichigo vs Luffy or the Aizen vs Madara episode. Regardless tho, I watched a video by a guy who had Time-Breaker Bardok as his pfp, and he was talking to a guy named Clyde. They went into a in-depth analysis of Death Battles assessment.
From there I was recommended to Mr.Tommo by the algorithm god. I watched his videos almost religiously and caught myself up to TYBW with basically the footnotes of the manga.
I remember watching Burn The Witch and was hearing through forums that its technically tied to the Bleach universe
I was reading BBS Reddit comments about the Espada Beyond Resurrecion drops and how they were made with Mr. Kubo's input and influence
.. yeah.. bleach never left the hearts of many people and reminded me why I loved it so much in the first place.. Thank you. All of you who participated within the community.
Edit: The Time Breaker Bardok guy was a someone named "SethTheProgrammer" check him out! :)
There was a point where people said dragon ball was the actual big three and not bleach. Boy it feels great to be alive to see how far bleach has become
Tekking101 is the GOAT icl
I was about to say I think bleach brave souls played a big role In bleach coming back
W opinion
Big Ws
why tf bro say black clover differently than the other animes??? whats that supposed to mean?
This just comes to show how much jumping to conclusions and false perceptions can majorly impact how people see the series, I just found it baffling that people even hated it at all, it definitely didn’t deserve all that hate back then, I’m glad it’s been recently gaining more traction and respect though and just feels good that it’s back in the best medium it can be presented in.
Watched every episode of bleach my points on why it kinda fell off was: overuse of bankai it’s meant to be a last resort kinda move for people that can use it the. It just got used every 2 seconds into a fight by everyone. It was crazy to everyone that Ichigo in season 1 hurt a menos grande then those just become easy opponents for everyone. So the power scaling just went out the window and so did the anticipation of are they going to use their bankai’s. Then the filler arcs my god they dragged on something awful. Could genuinely skip over 50 episodes and it would mean nothing to the main story.
Ichigo and are the most powerful in the big three
Hello my dio
second comment
First reply
Yehaaaaa baabyyyyy I waited 10 years for this *continues to vibe on the outro
Well it sure hasn't been the dub, VIZ has done a good job in making sure of that. Lol
In all seriousness though, good video, subbed.
Thank you!
I think it's just the case that many bleach haters grew up. And it wasn't running anymore, so new anime fans who like to hate on shows never saw the point in hating it.
