When the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War anime was first released in 2022, fans were so impressed by the series and the modifications that it made to the original storyline from Tite Kubo’s manga that the anime series was considered by many to be better than the Bleach manga. This was even admitted by Kubo himself.

In an interview, Kubo revealed that the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War anime did a better job of portraying the story and developing the presence of characters compared to the anime.
