Bleach fans have waited ten years and six months for the series to make a return on the small screen; however, no one would have expected that the Bleach TYBW arc would start its journey this way. The first episode of Bleach’s “Thousand Year Blood War” arc was accidentally released on Disney Plus, one day before the official premiere date.
Multiple Twitter users from New Zealand and Brazil reported that the Bleach TYBW arc’s first episode was showing on their Disney+ accounts. Many fans have already downloaded the episode before Disney Plus realized their mistake and took the episode offline.
The question arises whether Bleach will truly be a simulcast or it will receive the same treatment from Disney Plus, as Summer Time Rendering, whose episodes came out on different days for each region.
This is not the first time that one of the Fall 2022 anime episodes has been leaked. Muse Asia leaked the first episode of Mob Psycho 100 season 3, several hours before the official release time.
Bleach ‘Thousand Year Blood War’ arc episode 1 will officially premiere on October 10 at 8:30 AM (Pacific Time). Hulu will premiere the Bleach episodes for US fans, while Disney Plus will stream the episodes for international fans. If you want to support the creators of Bleach who made this anime possible, we urge you not to watch the leaked episode, as the official release is just a few hours from now.
Bleach TYBW arc anime is officially listed with 52 episodes, and the series will run for 4 cours, each having 13 episodes. Crunchyroll recently removed all the previous Bleach episodes from its platform, and even the opening and ending songs of Bleach anime have been removed from Crunchyroll’s YouTube channel. Disney Plus is expected to add the entire Bleach catalogue sometime soon.
The problem is that I (i live in germany) have no idea were to watch it,disney did not say anything
My question is how censored was it compared to the original?
it is not going to be censored at all
It’s not censored
First episode stays very true to original, it’s on Hulu
It is out on disney now I got a friend in Frankfurt and he watched it. It is subbed but he was able to watch in germany
I don’t want it to release on Disney 😤
Disney has a insane amount of money, they bought it to keep away from anyone else and to draw more people to Disney+/Hulu.
I don’t like it either but hopefully this allows for more animations down the line
I’m with you Disney had no business getting Bleach. Look what they did with Naruto Shippuden when it ran on DXD. Didn’t last long, but Cartoon Network Toonami block picked it up. It’s going to happen again with Bleach and Crunchyroll better take it back.
First watched Bleach on adult swim on cartoon network. Been waiting a long time to see more. Learning new episodes were being released I was elated. Then found out it was going to be streamed on Hulu. That Sucks. Not everyone who watches anime has or can afford Hulu. I’m 69 years old, love anime. Hope I live long enough to see Bleach TYBW in it’s entirety on normal tv channels. Thanks for nothing.
Why do I have to watch it on HULU in the states?!! Where I have to watch it with ADS, when I could watch it on Disney plus without ADS, but NOOOOooooo I have to have it on HULU which should have died off years ago.
Who cares about these streaming services…there are so much free platform that actually have anime…the original anime watchers from the 90’s or 00’s dont really depend on these…we had sites like Anilinkz or we even used torrents…the thing is who cares how you watch it…and its not a leak if they were supposed to play it 1 day after hulu…thats just the same day release as other streamsites…i would count as a leak if it was released by accident like 2 day before
Good for all of you good for you. Sadly my country blocked Internet in Iran after so many time waiting for my beloved bleach I may die for rest of that for real so don’t say be grateful
Don’t be a victim. Take up arms and fight for your right to anime. Weeb.
