Was Bleach TYBW Worth The Wait? 

For me it was worth the wait. I was a reader when it was coming out weekly and since then it left a bland taste in my mouth. The anime has gone beyond expectations and they even added more things from the source material. It felt like they were reminding us and new anime watchers who was in the OG big 3. I am personally pleased with it so far.

A complaint a lot of viewers/readers would share is the Byakuya fake out death. When in reality, Kubo always intended to kill him off in the first invasion. But a lot of angry letters and backlash from readers would force him to bring Byakuya back to life. Which yeah was kinda anticlimactic, but I still think the moment of him begging Ichigo to protect the Soul Society was extremely powerful

1 and 2 cour both of them are insanely masterpiece,i am loving everything about it.❤

How many of our fallen brethren have passed to the soul society without seeing the end of the series all the new bankais we must enjoy it in their honour

It was way above my expectations. Animation, Plot, Characters EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING was perfect.

Amazing review. And i just want to say that Ichigo being quincy (And Zangetsu being his quincy powers) was foreshadowed very early in the series. In the very first episode of anime we can see a quincy cross on Ichigo's bed (and there is more quincy attributes around/on Ichigo that we can see through the anime and manga. Or some symbolic moments like the manga page with Ichigo's Frankenstein design, representing that Ichigo is Frankenstein made of different powers/races). All early powerful moments of Ichigo can be explained by his quincy nature: Ichigo got all Rukia shinigami powers instead of small portion? Quincy's fast reishi absorption ability. Ichigo easy learns how to visualise spiritual power into ribbons, even if shinigami need years to learn it? Yeah, because for quincy it's easy. Ichigo casually blocks sero of Menos Grande and then sends it back to him? It's impossible, unless he just absorb it (like only quincy do) and then sends it back. And it explains a lot of moments when Ichigo learns something much faster than anyone. Other foreshadowings: in the anime we can actually hear that old man Zangetsu (his first appearance) called himself [Uha Baha] (Yhwach Bach), but we can only clearly hear the end of the name "...ha" due to sound distortion, anyway there is no "ha" at the end of "Zangetsu". Also in the manga his true name was just blacket out, but there was too much blacked out space for short (in Japanise language) name Zangetsu, but Yhwach also did not fit the blacked out space (It's just means that Kubo already did think of old man Zangetsu true name/identity, but still didn't come up with "Yhwach"). And i'm not even talking about how old man Zangetsu used quincy shadow technique in the Ichigo vs Kenpachi fight, and also how he stops Ichigo from bleeding by blut vene (it wasn't visually represented but it is how it works). And if someone still believes that it's all just a coincidences then just rewatch every moment of White Zangetsu (Hichigo) when he just screaming every time that he is Zangetsu or something like this. My favourite moment was in the manga, when we seeing White for first time and he smiling, but in the reflection on his sword he is sad, it's just says everything. And there was much-much more of all this stuff, so I'm really want to see your manga analysis, where you could share your opinion about the whole story of Bleach when you already know where it will lead

Honestly amazing adaptation extremely faithful to the manga and added content

"I started with the Bleach dub. I'll finish the the Bleach dub. Godammit." 😂. I'm right there with you partner. I've always been that few percent of people who prefer the dub over sub on any anime.

Cour 2 ended couple of days ago and oh boi the Bankai reveal of Senjumaru is insanely good 🔥

Their are just so many things I like love about this arc. Speaking of the voice actors while some of them have aged and others are replaced once this arc gets going they do a amazing job. I really felt Johnny rage as Ichigo when he asked if yahwach destroyed the soul society. I also really love Byakuya plea as he begs ichigo to defend the soul society what a great scene all around. I also really love all the little details like one of the reasons they can't steal ichigo bankai due to ichigo being part hollow which we find out in this part with ichigo mom is like poison to quincies. This arc also completes the arc ichigo has been going on as he learns more about himself. Ichigo as a hybrid of human,quincy,soulreaper,and hollow often has to confront a aspects of each society. It's through his battle in the soul society he learns more about the soulreapers and changes them for the better when he saves Rukia,it's through his battle with the Arrcancars like against Grimmjow and Ulquirora he understand the nature of hollows,in the fullbring he fully comes into his own and realizes how much being a soulreaper meant to him fully embracing his role as a substitute soulreapers and protector,and finally in this arc Ichigo embraces all sides of himself after learning about the truth of his orgins. I also loved learning more about hollow ichigo or as he appeared in the flashback dubbed White. Despite us the audience thinking he was just nothing more then a demon who sought ichigo body but when you look all throughout the series this hollow has done more to help Ichigo then nothing eles. He saved ichigo numerous times in the soul society saving ichigo from critical wounds like the ones delivered be Renji or Kenpachi,Even though he came back as a pure monster he did save ichigo from ulquirora. If not for White ichigo would be dead. As for Zangetsu while at first he did think about killing ichigo he also started to want to see him grow and help him with him finally leaving saying he couldn't be more proud. Ichigo saying their both him brings a end to both their character arcs as Ichigo has now accepted all parts of himself being fully whole. As for the quincies they come across as a overwhelming force and are utterly ruthless sometimes even to each other. They feel like a level above all previous threats as they completely take everyone off guard. Speaking of the quincies the first invasion you could argue the soulreapers were in the right to defend themselves but I will say it is somewhere unjustified that the soulreapers committeed genocide on the ones in the world of the living that had nothing to do with yahwach with it being a extremely gray action on the soulreapers but come this Second invasion the quincies do indeed become in the wrong again. Some Quincies talk about how their oh so superior to soulreapers and hollows but at the end of the day their just as flawed as either group. It's say what you will about the Arrcacars from the previous arcs but some of them fought with way more honor the quincies taking on the soulreapers fair and square and not resorting to tricks like stealing the enemies transformation. Though it does convey the point they will literally do anything to win. Finally Yamamoto I love how his character changed over time. He was once a ruthless man who didn't care about anyone and the original captains only followed him since he would have killed them if he didn't but overtime he changed he gained people he wanted to protect,people he learned to care about,and had more to live for then just destruction. Even meeting Ichigo further changed him as he learned to be less stubborn as he literally help ichigo gain his powers back. It makes his death all the sadder as right when he was changing for the better he dies. Yahwach also kills him in the most disrespectful way possible as well. I guess this comment has lasted long enough theirs just so much to talk about. Overall this is a great start especially as a massive bleach fans who's been following the series since I was six having watched all the original anime and the movies. BTW the best bleach movies are memories of nobody and hellverse.

Its crazy how ichigo is one if the only shonen charectors with a dad not 1, 3 my man is a group project

Half, half. I miss some old animations like spiritual pressure and the fights are always only 1 episode. Yet Unohana or Gremmy are so strong. The good part is that we saw Shinjo bankai and the amazing quincies.😊

As a manga reader let me tell you the reality (after reading many of the opinions here): Manga readers = they want the anime like og bleach (slow pacing to build up and fights across more than 1 ep) = TYBW "too fast paced because fights last 1 ep" = anime not so good Anime watchers (based off IMDB, Aniwatch, MAL ratings): PEAK ANIME! PEAK FICTION! Bleach is now my favorite of the big3! What?! The episode was 2 mins give me MOOOOREEEE! i cant wait for next week! So as a manga reader what do I THINK? I think the fast pacing is what elevated bleach. People domt have the attention span to sit through slow paced episodes anymore. Look at vinland saga s2. Every week i saw anime onlys complaining "its boooring! Disappointed! Where are the fights!?" Etc and thats one reason why it barely was being talked about every week it aired. Only the last few episodes were talked about because the buildup finally paid off. Also gear5. Gear5 hype died because toei ruined the fight with slow pacing as usual with flashbacks and cuts in between. Ep1071 was talked about then ep1072 but 1073 fell off immediately despite the battle continuing. The funny part is while bleach manga readers were complaining about TYBW ep20, OP fans (biggest fan on twitter geo said this btw) PRAISED IT and said its > than their ep1073 with gear5 fight continuing. I dont want bleach to seem boring to new gen anime watchers and fall from the spotlight. so i could care less about what manga readers think, as long as anime watchers are loving it thats what im proud of!

Part 2 was crazy. I cannot wait till next year

Manga reader (me) imo are really enjoying cour 2 the flashback between Yhwach and Ichibe was INSANE

For me it was worth the wait, though I do realize now the part of Kubo where in that time period he was sick he had rushed a good portion of the story to get it done and over with. I still feel though that for what we got the updated animation is sooo darn clean.

Dude after the TYBW aired episodes try watching the rest fillers & review em They do be going unnoticed these days. Awesome vids bruv Keep up

You got a new sub. 1.fullbeing art IS MY FAVORITE ❤❤ 2. DUB ALL THE WAY, i actually prepared fpr the sub before i knew i wouldbt wait.

Love to see the perspective of an anime only. Great video mate

This dude deserves more subs, your content is so good

Just discovered your channel. I've been a huge Bleach fan since 2014, and as a manga reader, this is my favorite arc of the series. I acknowledge the mistakes and errors in the original source, but I must admit, the anime team and Tite Kubo himself are doing their best to restructure and upgrade this material for the fans. Cour 2 might not possess the emotional factor that elevated Cour 1, but it lays the groundwork for what's to come in the future. As a friendly suggestion, keep an eye on Squad 0 and the Sternritter, especially the Schutzstaffel (elite Quincy guards). The power scaling in the next cours are set to reach levels unprecedented in this universe 🔥

Wish the episodes were a wee bit longer..

A great video that definitely deserves more views. This was my first anime and to this day is in my top 5 favourites, it makes me happy to see it have its well-deserved resurgence in popularity. Just got a question, what is the song that starts playing around 12:00?

Here after the last episode, wow it was above and beyond.

as someone who read the manga up to the end of Fullbring arc, then waited for the TYBW, i can say wholeheartedly that the pacing felt exactly the way it did in the manga. as Tite Kubo is supervising the TYBW adaptation, he wants everything to be in his image, and that includes his own manga's pacing. i personally loved the faster pacing of the bleach manga, and so i certainly don't mind the pacing of the TYBW adaptation. 10 out of 10.

Dude, IDK who you are but really enjoyed your video. I am sold and subscribed! Keep it up!

Good job on the vid bud, you nailed it on the head!!!

i need a goddamn playlist for all the remixes you used brutha, plz i beg of you

Cour 2 has been as good as 1

This is a very good review/recap of TYBW cour 1.

I didn’t know much about bleach before the announcement of tybw but I finished it within 2 weeks of the announcement and even read the manga till the hell arc and I absolutely loved it.

amazing upload :D

Very Nice Video good recap

You're underrated as hell

now we waiting for part 2

I didn't watch you video I am just come here after reading your thumbnail, and the answer is YES, ITS WORTH IT OVER 9000

Dw it will get better when we hear aizen's voice again, Ichigo bankai, zaraki bankai, kyoraku bankai, urahara bankai, Inoue getting her chest split open by yoruichi, yoruichi shunko, tag team aizen and Ichigo Vs yhwahc, the elite guard, squad 0 in action, yhwach schrift, soul king yhwach, Ichigo horn of salvation, but vein, ichigo saying it is over, etc. Boy we got a lot more left once they get to soul king castle

I said this way back when bleach was thought to be “cancelled” but the story needs a few additions and changes for it to be really worth it. But with Kubo working closely with the studio on this and Shinjis bankai being anime original and few others gives me ton of hope

Overall really good it was worth the wait, there were like 1 or 2 episodes I wasn't really vibeing with. But then the episodes that are good, are really really good and thats most of them.

Shii waiting 8yrs made it worth the wait. You get what you get and I’m grateful for what we got as fans. The pacing isn’t really a problem for me, the animation is beautiful, the anime exclusives really change the game too. The last episode for core 2 really just showed us what Kubo is really plotting for the next core and I can’t wait.

It's a bit of a mix for me. I definitely like the art style of the karakura town battle and the fullbringer arc more but don't really have a problem with this one. The one thing I wish they did was just spend a little more time on the big reveals and fights. In the arrancar arc fights felt like they could drag on for forever but in tybw they feel like they are trying to get to the next thing as fast as possible.

Is part 2 fully out in dubbed yet?? Cause if not man it gets insane

The first arc was phenomenal, moments that had fans minds going crazy. This 2nd arc is only part of the middle, fights and hype moments for characters that really haven't had too many times to shine in comparison to the mc. This arc wasn't about Ichigo, but the other members and gives everyone love. The next arc will be a mixture of moments for everyone and ichigo, and the final arc NEEDS to stick the landing. The manga DID NOT because of the rushing, but now there is about 10/11 episodes worth of extra content being added, which means the final arc can be new and adapted exactly as it needs to be. I have hope, and faith, that with such juicy content coming out for both arcs, we are going to get what we deserve.

A fellow Fullbring arc enjoyer. Rare. 🤔

Will you be doing a video on part 2?

I read manga because tybw arc and it was amazing although second act blood war is one of the best animation i seen but it's very fast paced didn't have any time to hype moment just one after another fight less character moment more about action

love the vid but the way you pronounced Quilge killed me💀

It was so nice to see my uncle tsukishima again

Loved The Unohana Vs Zaraki Fight

I just finished the whole bleach series. I skipped all the fillers. I have to say thousand year blood war is really amazing. I didn’t expect it to be so good.

Fuck yeah! Another banger vid!

Just got recommended your video, absolutely well done, massive applause is warranted, 0 points for the dub though 😂

To me it was. I think before it was announced, we were ready to almost never get the TYBW at all or many more years later if at that I do see flaws but I’m glad I got anything

This should have been fully released imo. Killed the hype

Saw a leak on reddit mentioning news about the hell arc when cour 3 is here. If its true or not i dont know.

Actually i am a bit disappointed by second part of the arc. It's still very good, but in comparison.. first one was literally shocking

10 Years? Well according to bleach yes with the story and yhwach's 10 years then yeah pretty accurate but ngl for what we got..... I would have waited another 5 years for what we got its such an amazing anime and it just became even better

When you will be watching second part please just watch As Nodt fight in Japanese, just in your free time, it's The BEST voice performance this year easily. Also was wondering if you plan to cover filler arcs in future videos, fillers right before Fullbringers arc are actually good and you will witness probably the best getsuga in the entire show

As Nodt being animated was everything I wanted tbh

Short answer. Hell yeah! 😁👍

i think this is one of the BEST anime adaptations, the animation is insane, the participation of the author on the production, the character designs and artstyle was amazing, sadly i think the story and pacing are really weird wich is not fault of the anime, but of the manga the whole bankai stealing plot leading to nowhere as they used them for one scene and then everyone got them back with some pills, i would say its a perfect adaptation to a good story, although i have my issues with it i still think bleach is great

16:42 We don’t talk that way about The Bounts. Just wait and see what they’ll do to the Quincies at the Soul King Palace. I mean even my homie Tsukishima returned for the Blood War.

Bleach is a Huge W man fr

This shit is amazing shows so much respect to TYBW. I read it week to week and it was very overhated especially towards the end. The ending has some of the greatest fights and character concepts from the entire series.

I just started watching bleach about 2 weeks ago and I’m caught up

waiting 2 weeks for an episode is also worth it.

I never read the manga but i really love this arc. I wish they could have slowed it down a bit and took time with the battles and the characters development. Im a lil annoyed that ichigo hasnt spoken to his zanpaktou yet besides the one time he learns white is his true zanpaktou. I feel as great as it has been, given all thr time the development had. They couldve smoothed out the wrinkles

For me the hardest part or thing to get over with this arc is how they did the vizards. It’s shown that the vizards are the perfect counter to the quincies yet they still get treated like foddler. I think for this arc kubo should have rewrote some things about the arc

Fun fact: In the Japanese version; only 1 VA was replaced. And that was Yamamoto. Because the old VA died.

Its good yes a lot feels rushed i wish they had more episodes or at least make it a hour long a lot definitely has been cut which if you haven't read the manga obviously you are kind of confused about certain plot points i think its more of a modern anime problem but its good well usually you would have gotten a background on some of the quincies but they still feel mysterious as for this reminds me of the manga being rushed to get finished but i would recommend the manga to understand everything

its very sad knowing that yamamoto VA passed away during these 10 years

Lore nerd here. About Masaki's death. It's not like Yhwach was choosing "not worthy quincies", rather "not pure". Katagiri was half-pure since she was born, that's why she died. And Masaki, originally a pure-blooded quincy, was mixed with hollow, making her not pure as well. And at the time of her encounter with grand fishe, she wasn't gonna sacrifice herself to begin with, but to use her Blut to block fisher's attack. and coincidentally, that was exactly the moment when Yhwach took her powers.

Showcase fights being blasted through in 10 minutes, panel-for-panel shots to be 'technically faithful' but without use of tension and even cutting content that would take 30 seconds to include. Abysmal directing decisions. Even extended fights feel rushed.

Since you watch the dubbed, how long do you have to wait for episodes?

The hollow Ichigo's Parents kill. That's literally the same design of his hollow form.

Without a doubt , i was scared a litlle becaue i remember how bored i was reading the manga , but they improved it in anime quite a bit

Still sad they didn't keep the peach joke in. Excited to see more anime exclusive scenes in cour 3 and what is going to happen with cour 4. If they keep the pace of cour 2 we're gonna be finished with TYBW at cour 3 which means can't fear your own world or hell arc for cour 4. Either way SUPER excited for it to continue along with burn the witch and it's amazing to see kubo remotivated to work on the worlds he's built over the years

Yeah, this isn’t the final season. There was a light novel sequel, and a one shot which ties in to the hell arc.

Some scenes so far make it worth the wait. But I cannot wait for our three idiotic captains teaming up and fighting against Gerard. As well as Urahara's battle and Bankai reveal.

How can you forget Rangiku??? And her friend Itchy, and Rake, and underyu.

Cour 1 was so emotional cour 2 was all hype Now lets see what cour 3 got Bleach is goated And tybw is masterpiece start to finish in cour 1 and 2

I mean yes but moment of silence for those who died before getting to see the second coming

The start was good, flashy, good drawn... and the initial attack on Seiretei was such a good start but then... it became so dumb... Yamamoto was showing off so much, like a schoolboy in the yard, "LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!" and showing more abilities in 1 episode than in entire Bleach series, it felt like creator of the character made up so much cool stuff for him but knew that this episode he must die so he spilled out ALL HES GOT just not to waist it... And each "new powers" from leutenants feel the same. "Look how good I've became!" - and 2 minutes later he is almost dead, saved by their new captains that also say "Look what new powers I have!" - 2 minutes later captains also half dead, saved by dudes that were trained in Shinigami king Castle. So much showing off and so little real fighting, tactics or anything. Unohana sacraficed her life to make Zaraki a real Kenpachi and he almost died for a dude that could imagine stuff... Yachiru showed her sword first time with her abilities to die from... cookie bones? And Shteinritters... omg... they are mostly such clowns... like they ran off from One Piece, their powers are sucked from finger. Mexican wrestler? Jar of brains that imagins meteors? Chubby Cupid? Emo dude that inflicts fear? Where did Yahve got all those buffoons for his Reich? The military organisation that honors power, purity of Quincy blood and stuff has such... soldiers? Total failures for 60% of all that Shteinritter had... And Ichigo was so hurry to get back to Seiretei to scream "ISIDA, ISIDA, ISIDA, ISIDA, ISIDA, ISIDA, ISIDA, ISIDA, ISIDA, ISIDA!" and then find the way to come back to Shinigami's King castle the next episode?! Bleach is getting dumber and dumber each new episode... The only two characters that I still adore are Urahara Kisuke and Kurotsuchi, they are cool as always.

Story wise cour 1 is better in terms of plot revolutions and for shadowing pay off while cour 2 is a fill in for part 3 and 4.

I recommend you to atleast watch the ep of rukia vs asnodt in sub cuz that ep was like 100000/10 for its voice acting as nodts sub va nailed it idk about dub

Good to see the perspective from non-manga readers. I'm kind of jealous haha

Short answer, Yes!

Where can u watch dub??

its alright so far i guess...its cool to look at 😭

Short answer: absolutely fucking yes

Honestly 50/50 imo, some new scenes are nice but pacing is a bit weird and some new scenes ruined some moments for me.

Imma shorten this 20 min video and just answer your question, yes it was worth it.

Kubo adding something in anime and cut off a lot of thing from manga... Anyway its worth the wait. Bankai!

Ima answer for the bleach fans it’s YES! Non fans they want to say no but it’s too EPIC so it’s like 50/50 lol

I love this arc just because of Urahara's bankai and Kenpachi being kenpachi 🙄

as someone who's been waiting for this for over a decade yes it's worth it. I don't over analize every little detale of anime to find reasons to dislike it I just enjoy what I see

Masterpiece 🔥

03:23 bro confused Pesche with Harribel 💀💀💀

Something I find kinda odd is how very few characters have a reaction to Unohana during. Obviously kenpachi does, and her lieutenant. But I am hard pressed to think of anyone else who shows genuine sadness losing her, or even really mentioning it. I suppose they were immediately put in a giant battle for their lives, so they had other things to focus on…

YES.
