Synopsis:

The final holy war approaches. Serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump with over 130 million copies in circulation across the series, BLEACH remains fiercely popular worldwide even after its conclusion. The TV anime, which began airing in October 2004, has produced over 360 episodes along with four feature films. Now, the anime project for the series' final arc, "The Thousand-Year Blood War," raises its curtain. Director and series composer Tomohisa Taguchi, who has demonstrated outstanding visual sensibilities across numerous works, returns alongside character designer Masashi Kudo and composer Shiro Sagisu—original members who have supported the BLEACH anime since its earliest days. Animation production continues to be handled by Pierrot, with Taguchi serving as chief director starting from the third cour, and Kou Murata—who served as chief director for the first two cours—stepping up as director, under Pierrot's new high-quality animation brand, "PIERROT FILMS." A truly formidable lineup befitting the "final battle"
