＜Main Staff Illustrations and Comments

Original story by KUBO TITITANO

Director/Series Composition/Tomohisa Taguchi
I am honored to be a part of such a huge and great work. I was a reader of the manga when it was serialized, and I can still vividly remember how impressed I was that such a cool manga could exist. I am working hard every day with the staff to bring the excitement and emotion of that time to you in the form of animation. There is still some time left before the broadcast, but we hope you will look forward to it.

Character Designer Masashi Kudo
It has been 10 years since the anime finished airing in Japan.
Since the end of the anime broadcast, we have been asked by BLEACH fans not only in Japan but also in many other countries, "Are you going to do an anime sequel?
"Are you going to do an anime sequel?"
Each time, I answered, "I don't know.
I don't know.
I have always had the same answer, but the time has come for me to finally answer.
We will do a sequel!

Music by Shiro Sagisu
When I make music for BLEACH, all the necessary sounds flood into my head as if they are pouring down from the corpse world (soul society). All I have to do is listen carefully and finish it. That's why I never get lost.
Sagisu does not write the music. The music tells Sagisu, "Write like this.
Now, the time has come for me to experience this feeling again!
