Bleach 20th Anniversary Project & Tite Kubo New Work Presentation (News Thread)

[Frontier]

2/18: Maybe someone from the novels like Tokinada. edit: depends on what he means by brand new. Maybe some random new bad guy in the final moments or someone's child?

4/13: Viz Media and Fathom Entertainment will screen the first three episodes of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Calamity in Japanese with English subtitles and with the English dub in U.S. theaters on June 25-29 and they will screen with an exclusive behind‑the‑scenes conversation with creator Tite Kubo, chief series director Tomohisa Taguchi.

Cool that they'll also be releasing the dub .

From the front page of AnimeSuperhero.com:

"“Bleach: The Thousand Year Blood War” Coming to Theaters – the First Three Episodes of the Final Cour Arrive this June"​

"It is becoming a hip trend for the first three episodes of a major anime title to release in theaters. Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Dan Da Dan are just a few titles that have done this. Now Bleach is in on the trend. The first three episodes screen in US theaters from June 25-June 29. Viz is partnering with Fathom Events, which is known for expensive movie tickets, so this may be a pricier event than the screenings for the previously mentioned shows. Both dubbed and subtitled screenings will be available.

But wait, there’s more. Screenings will have a special behind the scenes feature and an interview with Bleach‘s creator Tite Kubo. These “special features” will make the theatrical experience unique compared to waiting for the Hulu release of the show (coming sometime in July). It’s not really too surprising that Bleach is going along with the whole theatrical release deal considering how huge a franchise it is. It does make one wonder how a US theatrical Bleach release would have done during the Bleach-mania of the mid to late 2000s. This is the hotly anticipated final cour of the franchise and fans are really excited to see the beginning of the end, especially considering the long hiatus between the original Bleach anime and The Thousand Year Blood War anime."

Bleach is getting a new manga arc.

Neat! I remember reading last year he was thinking about continuing after that one shot set after TYBW. Maybe working on the anime convinced him/re-energized him to keep going with it. Bring on the "Hell Verse: Yabanme" arc!

edit: TYBW cour 4 confirmed for July 25 and new poster! Theme songs will be “I-BULL”by jo0ji and “Rasen” by 9Lana.

Is this connected to the Hell movie of Bleach?

Is this connected to the Hell movie of Bleach?

Hmm, I don't think Kubo was too involved in that movie (just some supervising) so maybe not but could use some elements from it perhaps but I think he doesn't counts the movies as part of his canon persay. Idk. He technically made that pocket dimension from Memories canon. He could make the stuff about Hell in the movie canon with this new manga.

I think the prevailing theories are: either this new manga is adapting the 3 volume novel series Can't Fear Your Own World that takes place 6 months after TYBW OR the one shot from a few years ago set 12 years after TYBW, No One Breathes from Hell is a jumping off point for entirely new material.

This will basically be Tite Kubo doing his real interpretation of Hell in manga form.

Reminds me of that Bleach DS game that also had a male/female OC protagonist you could play...
