Bleach: Thousand Year Blood was one of the biggest anime of 2023. The second part was titled The Separation, and after an emotional and epic finale, Studio Pierrot has already announced its sequel.
Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War is an adaptation of the popular manga Bleach by Tite Kubo. Airing from October 2004 to March 2012, the original anime ended without adapting the final arc of the manga. Fans of the franchise were understandably ecstatic when a new anime arrived to finish the project in 2022. The whole series is split up into four parts and with the first two now done, the second half is slowly approaching and will surely be a headliner in the anime-packed year of 2024.
