Why The BLEACH Manga Is So Much Better Than The Anime
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2023
- The BLEACH Manga is way better than the BLEACH Anime. The original BLEACH anime from 2004 is a very flawed adaptation of the manga. I'm going to journey back to 2006, when the first few dubbed episodes of BLEACH aired on Adult Swim in the US. The excitement of the Soul Society arc, the confusion during the filler Bount arc, and the relief felt when the story returned to canon, all contributed to a complex love for BLEACH. I’ll also be exploring the differences between the manga and anime, analyzing specific scenes involving characters like Orihime and Ichigo, and uncovering the depth and subtleties that got lost along the way.

RUclips age-restricted my original upload. So here is a fixed reupload. Please show it some support guys!
No problem!
❤❤❤
ok
That’s the problem with RUclips It always age restricted videos for no reason
No problem
I don't understand how youtube.
age restricted works
I really hate how the fillers were in the middle of the canon arcs it was frustrating but I still love bleach all the same
Even with all the flaws
The 2004 anime had a lot of charm still and the artwork was amazing
Yeah, it even expand and added some stuff despite some manga stuff got cut off.
Massive praise to the staff of the bleach tybw anime adaptation, the Artsyle, animation and uncensorship is what I've always wanted for bleach, the original bleach anime deserved criticism, but not on kubo and shiro sagisu's part, since both these guys made bleach really popular 😊
Tbf its the same studio
@@e.t.1947The Directors are different the guy who directed Akudama Drive is the director of Tybw and it’s been rumored that Kubo refused to work in Tybw with Noriyuki Abe involved
The anime is still peak and that's all that matters at the end lol
OG Bleach may have been littered with filler arcs, poor pacing, censorship and poor characterization of certain characters, and yet however it still gave us the best art/animation, OST soundtracks, aesthetic style/drip and main story consistency out of any other long-running series, which was enough to put it on the mainstream anime map following DBZ right alongside Naruto as the Big3 dubbed ANIME.
Never forget that as it wouldn’t be as iconic and where it gloriously is today.
Also the anime had Uryu arguing with Pesche over the white clothing, and this part became a forshadowing meta humor where Uryu claimed "white is superior" and knowing now later his association in tybw with sternritters, it just fit so well as it also breaks the 4th wall which is truely genius comedy. Not many animes could pull such joke today knowing the context.
Also kind of liked how the Bount filler showed us a different side to Soifon and the Stealth Force with them displaying genuine comradeship and concern for each others safety, a far cry from Soifon's previous ruthless disregard. My headcanon is that Yoruichi had a stern talking to with her, teaching her that having true allies is far better than just expendable pawns.
No, generally anime didn't do badly.
Substitute Shinigami arc was solid and Soul Society arcs was awesomely adapted.
The first part of the Arrancar arc (before Fake Karakura fight starts) lets the anime down with quite an underwhelming (except some moments like Ikkaku or Grimmjo fight) animation, not so great direction and censorship.
But it gets better afterwards.
While Fullbringer felt generally awesome to watch.
Fillers may have been annoying to manga readers when they were coming out. But now it's not much of a problem - newcomers can just skip them.
Also the anime provided extra content and even an anime canon backstory for harribel (not needed, but atleast there is something). The anime also made certain scenes in the manga more creative like the uryu vs cirucci where the pillars actually resembles lipsticks in the anime (playing on underlying erotic theme). Uryu arguing with Pesche over the white clothing, became a forshadowing meta humor where Uryu claimed "white is superior" and knowing later his association in tybw with sternritters just fit so well as it also breaks the 4th wall which is truely genius comedy. Not many animes could pull such a joke today knowing the dog whistle behind it. The best thing is that people can choose either the manga or the anime up to Tybw and then switch to anime only as it seems the anime is better by providing really important stuff that was missing in the manga and even expanded on it.
As I said the censorship was wild with this series. One I remember the most was when Shunsui slew Findor and it was shielded by a bright sun effect. Another was the beheading of Redder in shadow. But again this was my childhood, it will always have a nostalgic edge to it even with fillers and censorship.
Shuhei slew Findorr* :)
Yeah the censorship was baaaad, the moments where were supposed to see people missing their limbs or half of their gut was just dumb
yea, i was genuinely baffled in the manga when nemu got impregnated, and hiyori got cut in half😭😭😭
Manga Orihime casually getting hit by cars and she brushing it off is quite the feat.
So the reason why people had a problem with Orihime is because of anime-only content? That's inconvenient, but it explains why they're coming around to her nowadays.
I first got introduced to Bleach by the anime, a friend of a friend had all the current eps at the time on his ipod, so we loaded them onto my friends laptop and watched them all, I think it was only just near the end of the substitute shinigami arc.
I went on to download and watch wvery episode weekly, I only started reading the manga just after the SS arc finished.
After going back and reading the manga I cannot fathom why the anime staff made the decisions they did, there was no need to change Orihime like they did, and are the whole reason there’s the rukia v orihime ship arguement.
Either way, I watched the anime religiously, and was super disappointed when I found out the manga finished up, and that the anime stopped at the fullbring arc.
I was absolutely stoked to find out the were finally doing the TYBW arc, I only wish my best friend was still with us today to watch it with.
I remember as a kid I was super confused with the bount arc. Fillers really has a substantial impact on casual viewer's look at Bleach. The actual story of bleach without the filler is great and well paced excluding certain criteriums
From what i remember I enjoyed the filler arcs, the Bounts gave Ichigo more experience using his Bankai and his hollow also influence, Zanpakuto rebellion was a crazy beautiful story, The new captain expanded the lore of the Soul societies Nobility, the Clone souls showed that Ichigo was “losing” his powers over time and it didn’t feel abrupt
the mod soul arc was pretty good as well. kon was great in it.
@@stephencox8723 honesty I wish Kon had more development instead of being comic relief like maybe fractions of Ichigo’s power is absorbed into Kon as he’s his mod soul, and from what I recall he could fight by using his legs or jumping, that would have been cool to see, maybe like Engenium or Deku’s shoot style
@@Poke-ladd I agree. those are good examples. I always thought kon should have had lenalee from d gray man type spiritual powers with his legs. Kon for sure was underutilized. It would have been cool to see Kon develop his abilities with Karen as her latent ability manifested. I would have enjoyed something like that happening.
The Bount arc is a little too long for me and it didn't quite interest me. The Shusuke Amagai arc was interesting but had the potential to be better. But I enjoyed the Zanpakuto Rebellion arc and the Reigai arc.
I too enjoyed the filler arcs as well. And neither of them including the Bount arc isn’t as near as bad as people make it out to be. From my first run of the anime before I even got to reading the manga, I was never bothered by the filler arcs and still watched them from beginning to end. I’m not one of them folks that just hate filler for the sake of it or for no reason, because that to me is just dumb and a waste of time.
we are blessed with TYBW anime thanks to kubo's vision
Even tho the OG bleach had its problems……it still banged in the moments that counted…..But I feel like if a studio can’t stay true to the manga and adapt a story like how the author envisioned it…..then they shouldn’t even bother making an anime adaptation
As I mentioned before the vid got age restricted, while the censorship absolutely detracts from the brutality of the series (really raising the stakes) it by no means results in the anime being trash. Absolutely read the manga but also the anime is so good in many regards
For me the pacing later was golden, nothing like todays anime when they just brush trough everything without a proper momentum, and let's not act like the TYBW adaptation doesn't cut shit, first cour aired and it already have tons of removed scenes from it from comedic to serious moments and character appearances, pages of content just disappeared. I couldn't stop laughting when they didn't even show a reiteitai squad throwing communication knives and they just appeared out of nowhere with a "zzzt" sound, wtf.
The only thing i didn't like back then was when they placed filler arcs, in crucial moments of the anime, some good shit was gonna happen BANG a filler arc, also most of them being pretty good, Reigai arc and Zanpakutou had some good story and fights in it.
Censorship depends on the time anime is aired, if it was later there probably wouldn't be any censorship, but i agree it was bad in some cases. Some cool moments was toned town, like Hiyori split in half, Luppi pierced trough or Tsukishima/Uryuu getting his whole arm arm cut.
You should always read the manga, even in the case of the newer adaptation, sometimes anime can add things sometimes it shows even less, and that's the case in both versions.
Tybw anime should have been 26 episodes on each cour. Their stupid obsession of limiting the amount of episodes just ruined the weight of the story. It's good if you have a squirrel brain but really bad if your actually a fan with a normal brain.
OG Anime didnt at all capture the essense of Kubo's work imo. They even made a few romantic hints between Ichigo and Rukia which was very misleading. They didnt at all handle Ichigo's character and his PTSD well in the Anime. Arrancar Saga was also a complete mess which dragged out many things unnecessarily that goes completely against Kubo's work considering Bleach is a Fast-Paced Manga . But all things considered,Soul Society Arc was adapted perfectly for its time and overall the OG series had some elite episodes as well ngl. Without the fillers,OG Anime was an 8/10 overall. On the other hand,TYBW only cut off some comedic scenes and other scenes that doesnt pose any importance to the story which actually helped to elevate the Atmosphere of the Arc. Considering it is Kubo himself who wanted that,i can see how it affected the Anime in a positive way. And at the same time,they added extra contents and expanded on scenes which are actually very important to the Story. And when it comes to Pacing,the only episode i had problem with was Episode 3 which had many plotlines all over the place. Other than that,the Pacing was perfect and completely goes well with Bleach. And considering the Arc is very heavy on fights,there is no need to unnecessarily drag things out. Kubo is a subtle writer afterall,he doesnt spoon-feed and rather want the audience to actually think and understand the Story. Thats what makes Bleach unique among other Shounen. The only thing i miss in the TYBW from the OG series is the Fight Choreography and Sakuga which i hope will be fixed in the Upcoming Episodes.
Started off with around the time they invaded the Soul Society Arc
Watched up until the Bount arc and heard that the Manga was more updated and then started from chapter 1 and fell in love with the Manga
I know this is a re-upload, so I'll say what I said on the other video.
The 2004 anime did Orihime dirty. She's up there as one of my favorite characters in the series. In my opinion, she's the best girl in Bleach. I will die on this hill. 😤
Yeah the 2004 anime needs a remake
Anime didn‘t do her dirty she‘s great.
@@Chillchildren999 no it doesn‘t, just skip the filler.
@@zawarudo8991 Compared to the manga, it ABSOLUTELY did her dirty.
Her problem is that she's just too much focused on Ichigo and loving him more than anything else
0:01 My first time when i discovered Bleach was in 2022 Netflix .
It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't terrible. Watch the canon story in the anime, and its still very enjoyable. Yes its censored, and some creative licence was taken but its still Bleach at its core. Filter out the filler, and then when you inevitably want more bleach after finishing (or coming up to date) with the canon episodes, the fillers can be enjoyable stand alone stories - the zanpaktou arc and the reigei arc are standouts for me in terms of filler. This is a very subjective topic though overall, and its all based on personal opinion. :)
Also the Anime added and even expanded on certain things so it wasn't all negative, there is even an anime canon episode for Harribel backstory.
This is exactly the kind of video I needed to see. I watched the bleach anime a few months ago to get an idea of what the entire big three were like. Ive already watched naruto and one piece and I just needed to see bleach to find out for myself which was the best.
One of my most important needs to an anime or manga is that the characters are interesting and that ill grow to like them and become attached. Im going to purposefully not mention the other big 3 because it has no relevance in how I saw Bleach. For me I thought bleach was intriguing most of the time but it never held my attention. I went on a binge for about 3 weeks just grinding it out. I skipped all the filler so that I wouldnt get a skewed opinion on the source material. I realized once I caught up to the anime (which I believe is half way through thousand year blood war) I quickly made my decision that I didnt really enjoy it. That isnt to say that it had no good moments. I had plenty of times where I was engaged with it but unfortunately a lot more times where I was thinking about how I want this section to be skipped in favor of something more interesting, specifically in hueco mundo, and in (forgive me not recalling the name if its wrong) fake katakuri town.
Now to touch back onto my first sentence of the previous paragraph I found that I didnt really like most of the cast in the Bleach anime. Almost all of them did not land on me. Ichigo, Ulquiorra, and aizen were about the only ones that truly would make it on my list of characters I was fascinated edge of my seat viewing for. That being the case my attention towards the series was minimal. A lot of the deeper meanings of the series went over my head (not all). I knew I had to of missed something due to how different I view the series compared to one of my good friends. So I went to youtube to see why people love the show so damn much. What I found was shocking. People talk about all the "hidden" meanings and the messages that get told behind the surface. They talk about it as if it were so obvious and youd be a fool to not notice these things. While I learned more about the other characters I was stunned because they describe it so much differently than I had just watched of it. What I watched was nothing close to what I was getting told.
Unfortunately as this video has pointed out, the anime is simply a bad adaptation of the source material. I know that not everyone needs a lot of good characters to fall in love with a show, obviously since a lot of people swear by this adaptation, including my good friend who didn't read the manga. But I really do need to fall in love with the cast and for me bleach fell VERY short. There were some like kenpachi who I actually started to like more as the series progressed, but my notion of the character was already established in my head by the time he became more interesting that I wasnt able to really get attached.
I will eventually get to the manga someday because I need to see for myself what the fanbase is talking about and why they die by this series. As of now I can only give the anime a 7/10 due to the reasons listed above. Hopefully the manga makes me more of a fan of the characters but it might be hard since I already have my notions of the characters. I am just going to trust that the manga will be so different that itll be like a whole different cast of characters and ill fall in love like the rest of the fanbase has.
Feels like give or take for me. On some cases I don't agree on the anime decisions, at other times I don't agree with Kubo's base decisions with the manga. For one the TYBW for example has really ramped up the shit talking to oddball levels, to the sort where it feels like it's trying to replicate a cheesy action movie. Like despite being a war, it gives the impression of being some 'Rule of Cool' contest. Not I'm not saying that saying that 'none' needs to be involved, but it's a comparison total to earlier arcs in the manga that always just scratched me weird, considering the context. I think the best example I can make is that it feels like a '1-Up' contest over the other, especially when showcasing their abilities in that 'but actually' format for a good chunk of battles.
Then there's the topic of Orihime and that 'crybaby' persona. I'll give you the early arcs omitting a fun deal of her personality. Though, the further we go on like Post SS, that energy gets muted out, understandably from circumstances, but also losing a lot of that charm even when she does get her high moments. I feel like that one instance where Ichigo got thrust into Vasto Lorde and in both the anime and manga where 'Kurosaki-kun' got shot out nonstop might've popped the poor girl into meme status, so a lot of other details get overlooked.
There was also that bit in the earlier arcs of the manga that showed possessiveness with her too. Like some conversations they shared where Orihime didn't really want Ichigo to take his protector role, and in the bigger scheme, how that importance that he remains safe no matter what holds pivotal. Looking back at it, it was weird in a interesting way to me, like how two kind natures have rapidly different approaches of showcasing it, and thinking how it goes best. With it's own Pros and Drawbacks, I wish that didn't get swept under the rug.
That said. I think filler is just a sacrifice all long running manga just have to eat up. It keeps revenue going to some capacity and back then, we didn't have things like mobile games or other means to help cover the balance. While being a manga purist is fine, I think context matters as to why some of these things are what they are. That said, the 'pure vision' should be experienced too for people to give a fair judgement. Though! That ultimately comes down to preference, some people just love seeing the live movement on the big screen more.
Thanks for the vid to spark some discussion all around.
Here's my take: I believe that we need filler---or at least filler that helps us understand the story better. The reason as to why the TYBW is adored by so many (besides the gorgeous art and animation of course), is due to making things make so much more sense.
For instance, let's look at Yhwach meeting Aizen. This is such a great decision, because in the manga Yhwach just says "I went to go meet Aizen while you were fighting my clone," and then just kills him.
However, the anime actually shows us their conversation. This adds so much more suspense to the story, and that also helps Aizen's character and our out look on his beliefs and ideals. It makes more sense, and it gives you the feel of "Oh. This dude's the real shit."
Things like that are why filler can be so helpful to the story, because you actually understand things you don't understand in the manga.
That being said, the 2004 anime usually does that, but in a very fucking bad way😅
Like you mentioned, DBZimran points out how the anime depicted Orihime as a shy damsel in distress who shouts Kurosaki Kun all the damn time. (I adore Orihime, but am I wrong?)
The manga portrays Orihime as a realistic ray of hope, rising above the smoldering embers and doing whatever she can to help others in need. She also has a goal to be able to fight alongside Ichigo, because she absolutely hates having to be saved. She also quite obviously loves Ichigo, but she's so more realistic and relatable in the manga. No one just gets bumped down by mistake and then just RUNS OFF😂
But that's the biggest problem in the anime, a lot of characters are a lot more unrealistic and careless in the anime, whereas in the manga, people's goals are far more fleshed out, and people are actually understandable (not that all of them are this way, but you get my point)
You did make amazing points in this comment, and you seem really smart, so I just wanted to give you my take on this
Not only in the movie too, in every movie Ichigo and Rukia must be a main but chad, uryu, and orihime just a side characters in movie
Back when I was first watching Bleach I thankfully had a friend who told me whenever I was going to run into a filler arc so that I can set my expectations to non existent. I still watched them but I didn’t really care what happened in them. That said I think an example of a filler arc being at least ok was the Zanpaktou Rebellion arc which hinted at future canon material and was actually kinda entertaining until the final fight.
Bleach would definitely benefit from a remake with better pacing, uncensored scenes, better characterization, a large amount of ost and no filler if it was made in 5 or so years
The manga is superior, but "bad" is a big word in my opinion.
It is bad...kubo faced so much backlash bcoz of ichiruki and he never hinted it and anime put their moments in between canon material ...
Like fireworks scene , ice skating scene ,roof top scene ...and they cut many moments of ichigo x orihime..
@@rishu4139 Lol thanks for this comment. I know it is not meant to be serious so I can appreciate the humour here.
@@Tsuma_Vento people were literally burning bleach manga bcoz of this....if bleach didn't had fillers it wouldn't have been most drop anime ...one piece being mostly dropped makes sense bcoz its too long ..but bleach is 366 episodes long and it sad hoe much dropped it is bcoz of fillers
@@rishu4139 Ok, my man... valid points, valid points!
For the record I said it isn't bad... What you claim is highly questionable, but even then it is not enough to call a series bad. I would say the classic Bleach anime is more of a decent to good anime. Not stellar, not fantastic. Like, a 72/100.
@@Tsuma_Vento respect ur opinion...manga is much superior i hope bleach gets a faithful adaptation with good pacing ,no fillers and completely followed by manga ...that will be the day bleach fans will win ...
I'd love to see Kubo go through and "fine tune" and "reimagine" the rest of the anime after they're done with TYBW. Heck, if Ruroni Kenshin can do it after 25 years, why not do the manga and story justice without the filler crap. I'm with you 100% about filler arcs right before the final battle between Aizen and his Espada.
In the old days, Bleach was broadcast in the evening in Japan, and I was afraid that young children might see it, so I had no choice but to suppress the expressions of bloodshed and serious injuries, so I think it can't be helped.
In fact, famous anime such as One Piece and Naruto were also limited in such depictions.
Information from Japanese fans.
True, but Bleach got a bit more censored due to the manga was more violent and had a lot of partial nudity (crazy how a lot of it didn't get censored or mildly) compared to One piece and Naruto. Even the manga had to censor it self with the alleged controversial Aizen and momo intimate scene.
Ok does anyone else think that we should get the original anime reanimated in the same quality as the new hell ark and under Kubo’s supervision
It would be better if they completed Remake the 2004 anime
@@Chillchildren999 that’s exactly what I’m saying
I want that with the old soundtrack ngl
I loved Bleach. Filler is to be expected, especially back then. however, I did not know that at the time in bleach came to the US. Was I a fan? Not especially but I don’t mind filler like others do. Personally, I always loved Orihime. I have read the manga from the point where the original anime ended, but I never read it from the beginning. Now, after seeing this video, I’m contemplating reading it.
I like the agent of the soul reaper, the sneak entry and escape the best.
It was very disappointing that they cut some of the substitute arc.
Not to mention that Hisagi vs Findorr has much more budget than the screentime of the entire Espada not named Ulquiorra and Grimmjow.
I always wondered why people hated orihime and thought it fell off after soul society because I read the manga first then I watched the anime and I got why people thought that
I started Bleach when my cousin had brought me first 70 (?) episodes and i instantly fell in love with, Sadly, like DBZ mentioned, i really disliked Orihime and was genuinely rooting for Ruikia and Ichigo to end up together (kinda still do prefer it). But after the anime ended and then the manga i gave it a read and... i guess the show traumatized me with dislike of Orihime that i just now realized how different she actually is. At least the new season is amazing thus far and i almost trust that the rest will be amazing including the needed "fix" for the ending.
Also thank you DBZ for being an awesome youtuber ^_^
Completely agree with you on your points, Should honestly read the manga first! For me I first did watch the Anime cause I was very young at time and didn't know much about Anime or manga but a couple of years back I did read all the manga and I can say thier is a lot depth to characters the Anime missed out on, So go check out the manga for full story guys.
I was first introduced to bleach through the anime . I planned on reading the manga real really soon
I never read the Manga. I was anime only till college which was the fake Karakuratown ark. I then started reading it and noticed the differences. But by then filler was almost non existent. And the gore was the only thing i noticed that was toned down. Like Uryu getting his arm ripped off by Vasto Ichigo.
I'm still so salty about how they removed parts from Orihime's confession to Ichigo in the Arrancar Arc! 🥲
Honestly, I have a HUGE love/hate relationship with the studio.
I first experienced Bleach via the anime, but went back and read the manga. The manga is way better
It's not perfect but calling it utterly terrible it's a huge scretch considering the countless improvements it made over the manga, the beautiful animation, the VA and the OST.
Sad that the video got taken down...
Am i the only one who liked the OG anime?
After watching the vid, i agree that the orihime stuff is prettt outrageous. But again, it seems to me that the pierrot staff realized their mistake later on and also started pushing Orihime x ichigo
I needed something long to read while at work at a movie theater and Bleach was in back of my mind for a while so i read it all and enjoyed it then did the anime didnt notice too many of the changes back then but I was fresh off of it
However the voice actors and music were the anime strongest selling point
Especially for my 3 favorites
Zaraki Aizen and Byakuya
Plus lot of the anime only comedy was good the running gag of everyone in Byakuya house was a highlight
And in terms of filler Zanpakuto Rebellion and Unknown Tales was best one Invading Army was a close second
Unless I’m remembering it wrong wasn’t The bount arc and the cloned squad related to project spearhead in some matter, both involved using soul manipulation and modification
The bount characters were modified souls
Yall cant lie tho, the tybw arc is literally reviving bleach in both popularity and quality, like the artstyle, sound design, everything is so much better than og bleach, also the fact that kubo is more active in the tybw anime adaptation now, which will let him make it more accurate to what he wanted it to be sknce the manga ended up being rushed due to health issues
Couldn’t imagine experiencing bleach without the music
I still have the offline download version of these videos just watch it earlier before watching this😂😂😂😂😂😂
look i cant say any Anime adaptation is perfect partly as filler is needed (unless anime change the format to be monthly instead of weekly there is NEVER enough content to animate on a weekly schedule) but if i think the Bleach anime has some of the most iconic scenes which resonate with me because it was animated with voices and music.
and i will not feel bad because people tell me the manga is better. i can read the manga AND watch the anime and i dont think there is any sham in that.
FACTS. I personally am Manga over Anime for Bleach, but that by no means says that the anime is bad. It's quite enjoyable and fun to watch. Yes it's riddled with filler and abhorrent pacing, but there is good in the previous anime.
There are moments in the anime that I prefer to the manga. For instance, the Ichigo vs Ulquiorra fight. Yes it was censored, but it also made Vasto Lorde a badass! Idk what it is, but it was personally one of my favorite fights in Anime history hands down.
Again, I feel the Bleach manga is leagues ahead of the 2004 anime, but the anime is quite good in some aspects.
@@IAmCumbersome true and we do have to remember Bleach 2004 was in an era where censorship of anime was at its peak. its not something bad with Bleach anime itself that censorship exists its just something that has to be done to air these episodes on TV.
@@redlox2 I completely forgot about that😅
Thx for pointing that out, it's a very valid point
Today you can skip the fillers by using a filler guide (though some fillers were good) or just use bleach super cut if pacing is an issue (its not bad pacing except for the middle segment of arrancar arc). Though it was censored to some degree it seemed inconsistent, where one scene they can show boobs at full content and even blood and then the next thing they censors some side boobs you can barely see or small blood cuts.
12:20 it can be skipped with a filler guide as it will tell if something got mixed fillers and where to skip (this is not just in bleach, but all the other shounen animes at the time too suffered from mixed fillers and censorship). Those modified soul characters only appear for some few seconds which isn't a big deal (as people know what modified souls is at this point), though I agree its a stupid decision for it to be there.
You forgot that the anime also added additional scenes and even expanded on stuff, there is even an anime canon episode which gave harribel a background story which the manga didn't. Overall I agree there are more negatives compared to positive, but the original anime (2004) is worth watching for everything else it got. However its faster to read up and catch the Tybw anime, than to watch 200 episodes of the original.
After comparing the anime from the manga, I'm shocked pre Thousand Blood Warfare Bleach got the 4Kids treatment. Not as bad as 4Kids censoring Yu-Gi-Oh to resemble a kids show but censoring the blood and gore. I'm glad they kept the blood and gore albeit having some censorship like completely removing the scene with Rukia in the hot springs.
I personally always consider filler a moot point after enough time has passed. You can just skip them every time you ever watch the anime for the rest of your life
Imagine if Pierrot decides to remake the original series.
Manga is always superior to anime, but there are rare occasions where the anime will suprass the manga. BTW The new episode was really well done and Ichigo finnaly will dual wield.
Yeah, after the Soul Society arc it was really fucking bad. The pacing was rough, the filler was maddening, and the animation (in spots) was hard to look at.
During my first run of the anime, I was never bothered by the filler arcs and didn’t care and still watched it from beginning to end. I know a lot of folks weren’t very crazy about the Bount arc. Personally, I don’t think it’s near as bad as people make out it to be because I happen to like the arc. As much as I enjoy reading the manga, I still rewatch the OG anime mostly because I like listening to Japanese VAs. And I never found Orihime annoying like other people do especially when she spams the word “Kurosaki” to Ichigo. While I do understand the criticisms when it came to the anime, I don’t think it’s near as bad as people pretend. So that’s just how I feel and why I never hated the filler arcs.
But back then censorship and fillers have plagued almost every anime adaptation. And even not filler parts had a lot of padding and recaps. The anime team had questionable decisions, but made the best they could at that moment.
They couldn't simply stop the anime and lose momentum and the precious time slot, They had to keep it going even with the worst of the episodes.
Some fillers actually make a lot of sense, chronologically speaking (not the zanpakuto rebellion and new captain arc) and help to detail certain plot points, let some stuff sink better and present some mildly decent story points and eventually some very good moments or characters.
They also improved a lot the quality of the wrting of the fillers later and considering the narrative style of Bleach with few huge arcs, they had done a decent job. The filler is annoying but never to the point to make me want to drop the series. Naruto had much worse fillers.
My first encounter with bleach was Yamamoto vs wonder we is an I was so confused as who the bad guy was until I Hugo showed up ina scene an cleared things up … I LOVE BLESCH SINCE THEN AN IL SUPPORT IT TILL I DIE
Who remembets Lunar-Subs? They were the "gold standard" for Bleach subs back when I was in college during the Soul Society arc.
i don't know i guess am just weird, maybe i can somehow feel the shenanigans of anime staff, i always like orihime from day one i never even considered rukia as a love interest , i always knew hinata liked naruto the most (and the she wasn't a stalker) despite the anime staff trying their best to break them apart even now.
Edit : the filler arcs were awosme to an extent.
I feel like I'm the only person on earth who thinks Orihime wasn't afraid of Ichigo's face. I think she just got nervous and shy from his face being close to her and Tatsuki misinterpreted it as Orihime being scared
Once again, this is why I prefer reading manga for better information than an anime just in case 😅
It's funny, Bleach was the very first anime I had ever seen that I KNEW was an anime. It's the most nostalgic show I probably have in my mind.
Ironically, it is also the show that made me want to start reading manga, starting with this one. And when I did, I noticed the differences immediately. Somehow, though because I did this early on in my watch of the show (like right before Soul Society arc), reading and watching it at the same time somehow improved my view of the show 😕 LOL maybe my mind was subconsciously adding the parts that the manga had, into the anime scenes I later watched. My anticipation of fights/moments I had seen in the manga months before made my experience seeing them in anime better. It's the best book AND TV moments I've ever had, surprisingly.
Having said that, I was also very young LOL doing that again as an adult, I realize the differences ALOT more now. I always knew the censorship was because of network maintenance back then, so I never really blamed it for that, but I DO blame it for alot of the changes made that affected the overall look at some of the characters and plots. And it made me sad. I never realized why Bleach got so much hate after it was stopped in 2012 until now, but after rewatching and rereading, I do now. TYBW is a God send, because it has SEVERELY changed the rep of Bleach for the better. And I'm happy about it. Bleach is my favorite manga of all time, and my second favorite anime despite everything I just said 🤣 but the reason why it's not my #1 favorite anime IS because of everything I just said. If it was adopted more faithfully, I have no doubt it would be everyone's favorite.
Good job as always!
i too thought it had too much filler so i did something about it i made a much more manga arcuate version cut down from 366 to 141 ep of just manga content
I got into the show back in 2021 and skipped all filler bc it was so abrupt. I read thru the manga up to the tybw and it was incredible. Bleach anime did not do it any justice
Is this a reupload or am i having major deja vu
You know? All I'm gonna say is that I just enjoy the story as it is. I don't particularly care for filler arcs and scenes. We should just have fun with what's been given to us. (if it's good, of course)
After TYBW Cour 1’s release, I decided to revisit Bleach. We lost the drive with the anime so I just picked up the manga.
When I tell you how blown away I was by the difference it had from the anime! It actually angers me so much thinking about all the information and detail I was robbed of because the anime adapted them out or twisted them to make a new narrative. Thinking about how Karin had been the one to meet Ichigo in his bedroom, begging him to run which incited his (deep-rooted, trauma-based) hero complex and prompted him to break out of the kido spell to save Yuzu.
I’m actually surprised 7-year-old me liked IchiOri more than IchiRuki although only being an Anime watcher. I was also informed very early on about fillers, so I understood certain arcs weren’t canon and was sad back then that some characters weren’t canon (my thoughts definitely changed now that I’m older and wiser).
Bleach continues to be my biggest fixation for being one of my first animanga. The manga just made me fall in love with it even more. I’m so glad Kubo gets to help in the production of TYBW now, so the characterisation, storytelling and pacing won’t be as bad as its 2004 counterpart.
if not for the anime I wouldn't be a fan of bleach, the music alone makes it great and to be honest I've never had any problems with Orihime nor thought Ichiruki was the way
Haven't watched the video...yet. But I still find it funny how Bleach TYBW anime is shaping up to probably be the definitive version of said arc. So people in the future to read the manga up to before the TYBW and then watch the anime adaptation of it instead. Or do both and compare and contrast but skip on the 2004 anime.
When first started watching Bleach it was on Adult Swim didn’t even know there was a Manga because back then I wasn’t big Fan I understand now that in Anime the Manga would be better than the Anime or the other way around though when I was watching Bleach I didn’t care too much about what people would say about what was wrong about Bleach I was just glad I got something vs nothing I was the type of Fan that liked every episode including filler I didn’t know an Ark was filler cause I didn’t care I understand why people were saying Bleach fell off but I was loyal until the end when I heard Bleach was returning I heard about people disliking Bleach but when it came back there are wishy washy Fans getting excited when you stopped watching Bleach?
Honestly BLEACH had more enjoyable filler compared to other anime.
I still stand that The Bount Arc, and the Zanpakuto Tales Arc are some of the best filler arcs in anime. Up there with Goku and Piccollo getting thier driver's lisence.
As for the BLEACH anime itself, I still like it despite its flaws. II disagree with it being bad as you make it out to be. I have given up on anime up until I saw BLEACH debut on Adult Swim and it bascially gave me hope for future anime in the future like One Piece, Demon Slayer and others.
I used to be a Bleach fan during my middle school years as well as the anime/manga was at its highest during the Soul Society Arc and Aizen Arc. But when I went to high school, I suddenly lost interest in Bleach and moved onto other anime like Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Samurai 7, Attack on Titan and Legend of Korra. And even when the Anime made a comeback with a Hulu/Disney series, I was more into other anime like Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, Spy x Family, Zom 100 Bucketlist of the Dead, Demon Slayer, Hell’s Paradise and Bungou Stray Dogs. Bleach is like one of those internet celebrities like Spoony Experiment. They both used to be a bit hit with the internet and geek community. But as time passed, they both feel off as they started losing money, fame and fans and they have one of the lamest send offs ever.
I don't care if there is filler in the anime, I still enjoy it 😊
i am so happy that i finished the manga so i could watch your bleach videos
For me I have started Bleach with the anime which I thought was good at first then I hade problem with continuation of the serie because of the pacing and the feeling that every fight was tuned down to fit for a young odience. I quickly realise that it was nothing alike the manga when I decided to read the TYBW arc. Its impressive to see how much the deep writting of the characters doesn't mach with the anime adaptation
HAHAHAHAHSHWHW DBZIMRAN I saw the bount arc ad well before i knew about filler hahahaha
I actually enjoyed most of the Bount Arc even though I did notice the cast became a bit stagnant & I like the Zanpakuto Rebellion
Atleast it didn’t get the soul eater treatment, despite flaws I don’t think the anime should get a remake cause of the nostalgia
Yessir all the filler is the reason I don’t recommend the anime 😅 There was a RUclipsr who made a list of all canon episodes 👍🏾
Wouldn't say the anime is trash that's a reach
Better extended anime Fights, sick OST's dope animation
Honestly Bleach anime Canon episodes are dope
Invading army arc fits into the anime canon too
I only watch canon episode and glad watching bleach but manga on different level
Dude your avatar looks like a chad
I started with the manga I only watched some of the anime. I’m watching the Bleach anime again. I’m on the Bount arc and it’s excruciating! Slow with the lamest villains. The changes were a little easier to except but those fillers really hurt the anime. Watching the newest episode of the 1000 Year Blood War and going back to the 2004 anime you really see how the quality of the first anime was pretty mediocre.
The Bount Arc is genuinely an abhorrent arc. It brings in filler and slaps it into the canon anime, and it's really bad. Not that the anime as a whole isn't, but it definitely hurts the anime a lot. You're better off skipping it. Trust me, it's not worth your sanity.
Well since I haven't started Bleach yet I know what's a filler and not. I follow this website that tells you what is filler and canon. So I'm probably not going to be watching all 300 episodes which is a good thing.
So 10 minutes of video to say that anime pushes ichiruki...again and that is bad because filler, nothing new
I was expecting a more analytical video reviewing the multiple flaws of the anime along with its good things, because in case you dont remember Starrk fight sucks in manga, and the anime made a pretty good job making it longer and giving Starrk a truly sad death, but ofc no word of that
Starrk death impactful to me the time lilyneth died is the he felt truly alone what a powerful scene 😢
oh. so it was a reupload. i thought I saw this video before.
Fucking youtube undoing my support
Cant be showing Uryu with his arm missing in the thimbnail. Didn't you just post on Twitter about that like a few weeks/months ago?
bleach is first anime from big 3 when i started bount arc i didn't know what filler was but that was just bad i just can take it so i googled if i skip the episode so basically bleach is reason that i know what filler is
I really hope they give the original bleach anime a Dragonball Z Kai type treatment and cut the filler and make it more like the manga but keep the OSTs
Original bleach anime had too much shipping of Ichigo and Rukia
Nah, just good friends :)
Those where fillers
Is last filler arc really boring?😿 Isn't it worth including in canon story with reboot?
How does Uryū get his Quincy powers back if not from the Bounts?
From his father Ryuken. The bounts have nothing to do with it
@@DBZimran Ah! But that strictly Manga only right?
@haroldtorres2710 No, it's in the arrancar arc in the anime and manga.
Personally the only filler arcs I like are the Zanpakuto Rebellion and the Berserk Zanpakuto arcs
I think Bleach should have done what Fairy Tail ended up doing. Taking breaks to allow for more of the story to be finished. There's a rumour that that's why the anime ended in 2012 but I'm not too sure if that's the case.
I'm impressed you managed to speak for 14 minutes without taking a pause to breath, joke appart, I don't understand this style of video where youtubers remove all spaces and blanks. This make it really unpleasant to listen to. People need some pause and rest to reflect on what you are saying. It's like in music, pauses are part of the song.
People don't have attention spans for pauses, and are usually the reason videos are clicked off of.
I would love to see a remake of the anime with the TYBW treatment the animation is awesome
Animation? What animation? There is barely any in TYBW.
They‘d ruin the OG if they gave it the same treatment.
