Synopsis

Substitute Soul Reaper Ichigo Kurosaki spends his days fighting against Hollows, dangerous evil spirits that threaten Karakura Town. Ichigo carries out his quest with his closest allies: Orihime Inoue, his childhood friend with a talent for healing; Yasutora Sado, his high school classmate with superhuman strength; and Uryuu Ishida, Ichigo's Quincy rival.

Ichigo's vigilante routine is disrupted by the sudden appearance of Asguiaro Ebern, a dangerous Arrancar who heralds the return of Yhwach, an ancient Quincy king. Yhwach seeks to reignite the historic blood feud between Soul Reaper and Quincy, and he sets his sights on erasing both the human world and the Soul Society for good.

Yhwach launches a two-pronged invasion into both the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, the home of Hollows and Arrancar. In retaliation, Ichigo and his friends must fight alongside old allies and enemies alike to end Yhwach's campaign of carnage before the world itself comes to an end.

first of all, I am a big fan of bleach and I finished the first part so if you are like me, of course, I would recommend you to watch it
so, is it worth a watch? Well, the answer doesn’t matter at all there is no way you are not watching this if you have already watched the rest of it and you like the anime and hope to get a conclusion and if you are not I really don't know why are you watching it I guess to just spread hate again
the fans got the rewards of their wait and patience because everything got ... way better in this arc on all levels:
The art style, the music, the story, and the animation are fantastic, you can't ask for anything better than this. and from The first episode,
the anime will surpass your expectations everything about the anime was amazing words can't fully express how amazing it was
I easily can say Bleach: Sennen Kessen-hen has been much better than any of us probably expected and that is reflected in its rank on MAL.which shows how much people are enjoying this season
p.s this part has three of the best fight scenes I ever watched in bleach maybe after Ichigo vs Ulquiorra and anime overall
summary
We have reached the end of the first chapter out of the 4 parts of the Thousand Year War - Bleach, a war that brought together two poles, and between them, there is an ancient history written in blood!
- The Quincy led by King Yhwach, who announced the beginning of the planned invasion since he suffered the greatest loss that almost ended the Quincy dynasty and dried it from existence on the Soul Society, which is under the protection of the Guti 13 led by the man who killed thousands of them 200 years ago, Yamamoto Genryusai
- The movement of the Vandenreich forces sparked a declaration of war, in which the deputy commander of the 1st Division, Sasakibe, was the first chess piece to fall, followed by a series of massive losses incurred by the Gotei 13: Commander Kuchiki Byakuya, Deputy Commander Abarai Renji, robbed the Bankai of several commanders, which led to the curbing of the main force of the Shinigami and Deterring It Perhaps the greatest loss to the Soul Society since the inception of Gote 13 was the fall of Supreme Commander Yamamoto Genryusai
- Quincy's forces did not suffer major losses, and compared to what was already achieved, the first battle in this war was a crushing victory for Vandenreich's forces, but! Winning the battle does not necessarily necessitate winning the war, and the time granted by the Quincy King by ordering his followers to temporarily withdraw after slaughtering the Guardian of Hell for Goethe 13 may pay his soul for it!
- Instead of the complete annihilation of the enemies, especially with their morale and fighting spirit shattered, after the fall of the pillar on which their leader and the teacher had their backs to each other, Yhwach tended to withdraw for reasons that are currently still unknown to anime followers!
- At this time, the Gotei had already begun to gather itself together, and after appointing Kyorak Shinsui as the successor to his mentor in command of the last 13 Gotei forces, he began to weave his strategy to turn the tables and restore dignity to the Shinigami community, and we will witness the effectiveness of this man's leadership in the upcoming second part.

Bleach has never looked better. Thousand-Year Blood War presents an impressive transformation for the series that hopefully will continue throughout the run. Action scenes are crisp and inventive. Quincies are a terrifying villain group that is very effectively established with minimal screentime. The anime mostly elevates the source material, often improving upon the original work. Some comedic relief was lost in the adaptation process, but that’s a small price for a beautiful adaptation.

Mixed Feelings

"Bleach" was unlucky to come out when there are many alternative Shounen that are all like two identical drops of water.

There are a lot of interesting characters in Bleach, funny dramatic ones, the characters die there, it's still frankly a teenage title, but he has iron balls in terms of acting dramaturgy... but this is mainstream, now all shounen will look like this.

I read manga as a teenager and I'm glad the anime came out, but I'm honest with you there's nothing special about it.

the art style is good, but not more, the animation is acceptable, but I know what can be better

the music is ...

SST no.4 (seasonal shower thoughts)

The young fella inside me has been waiting for this for a long time, and Bleach is back in all of its former glory, together with its many apparent flaws and shortcomings.

Like, when the song kicked in, in the first episode, you know which song, nostalgia slapped me so hard on the face that my beard almost flew off.

It is great for a change to see some nice animation from this incompetent studio, they really went all out, especially for their standards, and Bleach looks good now, and it feels so nice to be able to say that. So at the ...
