| I will be in minority as always but I was extremely dissapointed. It feels like a cheap 70p long teaser with Szayelaporro barely even doing anything before being dragged back to Hell. All he did is thrown a lot of exposition at us so we come back for the sequel. Why thank you, how kind of you... why 70 page though? Could be done in 20. Maybe 30. This is Boruto 2.0 in the making (or Shaman King Flowers 3.0., whatever suits you best) with kids and new characters being the main focus. You know my nostalgia for this series is pretty strong... Bleach was one of my most favourite anime when I was 15. The idea about all the dead soul reapers going to Hell is pretty interesting but I am sorry but I don't give a single f about Ichigo and Rukia' kids. They are not the reason I loved and read Bleach. Plus Bleach should have ended with Aizen's defeat. Everything after that was dragged out as hell with Kubo literally breaking under pressure, rushing through the final arc and failing to deliver the satisfying ending to the, overall, pretty good story with INCREDIBLE characters. I always down for more content but not when it hurts the story' quality. And now he's back with the sequel?... you sure this is a good idea?... We'll see. It can't be worse than Boruto, that's for sure. The art is decent. And I really, really hope he won't do dirty Ichigo and others. I dunno, I'll read few first chapters. The one-shot is very bad, imo, you can just skip it. |
harshtruth said: imagine a yamamoto free from the burden of constantly holding back... As well as an ukitake without his sickness. I swear, this set up looks like it will finally give those 2 and unohana a proper time to shine. |
| This set-up has quite a lot of potential, but I feel like this new arc (?) needs to have a lot of chapters to be properly built up. The amount of new characters, the time we skipped, this whole new hell thing... It's not something they can just solve in an interesting way in like 20 chapters. Knowing Tite Kubo's pacing probably not even in 50. And I kind of doubt it will go into serialization for that long again. But I guess we'll see. I'm fearing it will be another rushed arc like the last one was. |
| A very good 20th anniversary chapter after not seeing the characters for 5 years. Obviously, I want more Bleach. I'm disappointed that my waifu Orihime's full body was not shown. Only half of her body. To see hallf of her oppai and nice hips. Kubo, you had 1 job. I saw the opening artwork and noticed Lisa in the back with nice oppai. Then to see her in the chapter up close looking just right. In the JET interview a few years back, Kubo said Ichigo majored in English literature, so being a translator was the outcome. When Ichika could see the the beasts, but Ichigo and Renji couldn't, I said to myself, "Please dont let this be some next generation BS about their kids being the chosen ones after the years we spent on Bleach", but I figured it was due to the Hell Butterfly that was next to Ichika. Crisis averted. What a twist with the dead captains. I hope for more Bleach. I see folks asking about whether Jigoku-hen movie is canon now. Hell has been in the series since the early chapters when the gates of hell appeared. Kubo, who was involved with the movie, wanted to show the world of Hell since he only touched upon it once in the early chapters. Just think of it in terms of the Zanpakuto filler arc. Kubo designed the Zanpakuto forms, but the arc itself wasn't canon. The designs he made were canon because they appeared in the final arc. Also, here's a more detailed answer from Kubo in his message in the home release of the movie: https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/34013/was-any-of-the-movies-based-off-anything-from-the-manga |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| I knew I was in for some absolute heat when after the amazing color spread we kicked off with a melancholic and eerie narration with many different ways to interpret it. The writing style Kubo used here is very reminiscent to Burn the Witch, a lot of dialogue and a lot of going on in a panel. 73 pages of that and we got a very packed story that flows like a direct continuation from 686. |
| Been a few years since I last saw and read Bleach; almost forgot a bunch of the characters and terminology Quite surprised that that's it, would've hoped it'd be conclusive but if this ends up leading towards some newer arc, I wouldn't mind at all. Them new characters were introduced and just thrown away when it turned to the actual plot lol. Guess this was an alright read |
| Can’t wait to see the kurosaki family interact! Orihime is so precious lol I can’t believe after all these years we’re getting more. Kubo 🐐 |
| Oh man, this was SO fun, I really felt like a kid again, after all these years, and I loved every minute of it. Please please please Kubo don't go lazy again, I wanna read the continuation, the idea for this arc sounds so fun! |
  |
| hopefully, it will get continued soon. this is really good. |
   |
| I hope we could see Gin again. Imagine the Hell version. It'll be lit. <3 |
| I somehow never expected a sequel, and am shocked that I never knew about this until I coincidentally went searching for the latest One-Shots in the database to read. I watched the anime first, and read the manga later before it finished, so in years span, I don't clearly remember the lore to know if this case had any hint of this concept in Bleach, but if it's applicable regardless, it was introduced very well as a brand new concept to continue the story with a new threat. As I've matured, I'm not a huge fan of these basic character-persobalities, but I'm glad that Bleach is back with a new epic concept of Grade 3+ villains coming back from Hell. The horror that anyone who was of that level, could not have there reiatsu contained be sent to hell, whether good or bad, with Hell now unleashed is awesome. 8/10. Kazui's a weird kid, but I like Ichika. I wonder how Kazui is so talented though... aside from being an offspring of a Human-Holo-Quincy Soul Reaper from Ichigo. Looking forward till the last arc of Bleach finally airs, and whenever this story continues. |
| Ichigo’s son is so cute! I wonder if this will be continued? |
