Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War Season 3 Episode 6 Review

Every episode of Bleach: TYBW reminds watchers why Bleach is one of the GOATs. Good to see you Grimmjow.

What Seperated Bleach From Its Peers?

Let's think of a few different anime, HXH, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, FMA. These are arguably a few of a the best shonen released anime from 2002 - 2011.

When I'm arguing with my anime friends about the GOAT anime, sometimes I take turns defending different ones. But even though I love Bleach and it is my favourite at times, I rarely put it as the GOAT.

Bleach undoubtedly has strong points for example its action, music, art, animation and cool characters. For me, the only thing that separated Bleach from possibly being the best of the bunch was the depth of its story. Naruto and One Piece in particular have layers and intricate weaves of storylines, a big contributor to why they are revered as the best of their era. TYBW is a great opportunity for Bleach lore to form in the eyes of the viewers, giving us more to wonder about and become attached to. Features like Pre-Gotei 13 history. The Soul King. The separation of the three worlds and Ichigo's true origins have helped to give a lot more body to the Bleach universe. Could we even get an anime for the Hell Chapter?

During the original run, Bleach's art and animation blew me away. The character designs and overall style were a big contrast to One Piece and Naruto. Being released with modern-day animation techniques should remind everyone that Bleach is DIFFERENT. Everything hits! pacing, music and action. My one request is please, please...animate adult Toshiro.
