Tite Kubo, the creator of Bleach, desires a remake of the anime to adhere more closely to the original manga.
During the 2000s, considered by many anime enthusiasts as the golden era of the Shonen genre, Bleach stood out as one of the most popular series alongside One Piece and Naruto, collectively known as the Shonen Big Three.
Despite its popularity, fans expressed disappointment with the series. The original run concluded in 2012 without completing the Final Arc until its resumption in 2022. The revived series boasts exceptional animation and maintains a captivating storyline. Despite a decade-long hiatus, fans are thrilled to witness the return of their beloved series.
However, a significant portion of the storyline was adapted from the previous anime, which garnered controversy due to an excess of additional episodes. Tite Kubo, the mind behind Bleach, holds the belief that an anime remake should address these concerns and more faithfully represent the original manga.
