Live action movie is available on Netflix and it's as cringy as usual JP drama shows. Better than the US live action Dragonball movie I guess but that's not exactly a high bar. I guess a better comparison would be the live action Gantz movie.

Just watched the live action out of boredom and it was surprisingly entertaining lol. Besides the low budget feeling of it all, the way they structured the story was pretty solid.
Final arc is getting animated along with Burn the Witch getting serialized this summer & having an anime adaptation
Honestly don't give one single fuck about the story, getting more Kubo art is more than enough for me to get hyped.
That arc has some sick fights in it though, hopefully whoever is animating it does them justice.
Maybe they'll use this as an opportunity to do the final fight justice.
Going to seriously hope for some story revisions/improvements since we've had time for Kubo to not be under the mangaka crunch, but I'm going to doubt it. Big question is will they try to squeeze it all into 24 episodes or shoot for another season or two beyond that.
Was gonna say they need to do some retcons and flesh the end out more but I'm all about it.
Hyped. The final arc had some great fights.
Lol at Bleach plot, indeed. But still, the full 1000 year blood war arc is some 206 chapters (480-686).
Outside of filler, the original anime was pretty much following a "2 manga chapters" : "1 half-hour episode" ratio.
If they're really going to continue animating the whole story verbatim, it suggests about 100 episodes, or 4~ years/seasons of this (at 24-26 eps/year) without filler.
I feel like it's gotta be an abridged adaptation. I just hope they do keep some of the key moments. They'll be incredible animated.
Yamamoto's death. Kenpachi cleaving a fucking meteor. Yachiru Unohana. Squad 0 antics. Rukia Bankai. Un-Doge Komamura. Forging Tensa Zangetsu. Nazi Lightning Boobs. Aizen unbound from his chair. Kyoraku Bankai. Zombie Izuru. Urahara Bankai.
I look forward to this.
I legit can't remember anyone's Bankai from the last arc. I just remember zombie chick killing off some captains permanently (or ambiguous if they died).
Also how is bleach TWENTY years old what the fuck LOL
Imagine first exposure for a lot of us was the anime. Birth probably counts as its pitch/acceptance to Jump as a manga. But yeah, we old.
If this was a manga like One Piece or Hero Academia or even OPM (which doesn't follow the weekly 18-page release, I grant you), then yeah 2-chapters per 1 episode rule would be pretty good. But from what I remember of the end of Bleach, which admittedly isn't a lot, the chapters were pretty thin at the end. If they have the budget and animate it more akin to HA or Haikyuu or how they're doing current Jump shows (IE, not Naruto/OP/Bleach run infinitely of old), then I can easily see them packing in 3-4 chapters per episode, animating them gorgeously and keeping each episode nice and full without the worry of having to stretch things out for fear of running out of material like they used to
I never did finish Bleach. I think I got to the part where a big fat guy with a big paint brush did... something? Idk I was just getting so bored with it not going anywhere.
The worst was the final fight -- After a series that had so many '"You fell for my trap!" "You unleashed my power-up!" "Just as I planned!" "I was holding back all along!"' for weeks on end for every other fight, the final fight only lasted like two or three weeks.
I stopped reading right before the final shit after the soul king was killed or whatever. All I know is that stupid wrestling guy and the zombie chick and her friends went on for way too long.
