Bleachis back with a bang with its sequel seriesThousand Year Blood War. After its ten-year hiatus, the series made its comeback with the sequel. Undoubtedly, the series is par excellence in most aspects. From its animation to pacing, the sequel is soaring heights and there’s more to it.
With the commencement of the third season, the directors are all set to notch it up. From animation to pacing, the season speaks of perfection in every sense. This is also attributed to the hiatus that enabled the creative flow.
What the director revealed was probably the franchise’s biggest advantage. Especially if one were to compare it with the original series.
Bleachdirector opens up about the series’ biggest advantage
Bleachis often considered as one of the weakest series among the big three. That, however, isn’t true. While it may not enjoy tremendous glory, it reigns supreme in most aspects.
From its well-written characters to intricate art, the series is a visual treat. On top of that, its riveting storyline sets it apart from its contemporaries. The series is also praised for its well-written female characters. And there’s more to it.
A relentless criticism associated with the original series is that of pacing. Amidst the overworking and brutal serialization, the series faced flak. This was reflected in the horrid and haphazard ending of the anime. The ten-year hiatus, however, changed the course of the franchise.
With a better framework andcreative liberty, the sequel seeks to outdo its precursor. It is evident with Kubo’s involvement in the process and the director’s vision as well. Clearly, the sequel has the biggest advantage as Director Taguchi Tomohisa revealed.

In an interview withOricon News, Tomohisa revealed the process behind Season 3. He quoted:
It seems that the restrictions are gradually decreasing, especially in terms of freedom of camerawork and directing, especially from the “pictured two-dimensional world”. But in reality, the costs are high and the schedule is long (laughs). It was only because it was a long-term project of 3 to 4 years like “Thousand-Year Blood War Arc” that we were able to try it. I feel that the effects will come out from now on.
Unlike most productions, Pierrot aced the sequel’s animation. The game-esque visuals make it more appealing and visually stunning. To say the least, the sequel is outdoing the original series. It would be safe to say that the series is retaining the franchise’s glory.
Thousand Year Blood Warretains the franchise’s glory in every sense
Thousand Year Blood Warmarked Tite Kubo and the series’ comeback after its ten-year hiatus. Over the years, it has managed to retain its glory as an iconic Shonen series. And it continues to soar high despite the malicious attempts of toxic fanbases. However, we have barely scratched the surface with this one.
The seriessecured high ratingson IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes. The animation and visuals of the sequel are par excellence. With most fans praising the sequel, this marked the greatest feat of the series.
Considering the hiatus along with Kubo’s injury, the success did not sit well with other fandoms. Like Attack on Titan, Kubo’s series wasn’t exempt from review bombing. Regardless of the efforts, the series outshined other shonen anime includingOne Piece.
