I gotta say this has been great and reignited my interest for bleach, it's nice to see the gang back together and depending on it's success, I could see a future hell arc been drawn by Kubo.

@access-timeco I have a feeling we'll definitely see them again if (when?) the Hell Arc materializes. The ponytail captain is already a fan favourite and would Kubo go out of his way for those designs just to have them in one episode??

Anyway, have anyone read the light novels? They provide a lot of insight in Yhatch, Aizen and Ichibei and it appears Kubo himself considers them canon. Some people think they could also be adapted as part of the anime.

Next episode supposedly covers only 4 episodes and the new ED features the OG captains. Maybe we'll see them in a flashback?

The animators are tweeting for people to look forward to the next episode. This is gonna be good.

Shiro Sagisu is back? This fact alone makes me wanna watch the new series!

It's so good to be back, even though I didn't post that often after 12 years here apforums has become a part of my one piece experience. Hope everything works out smoothly from here on.

Amazing episode! If the anime adaptation were to become seasonal instead of weekly would every episode be as high quality as this?

I almost never post, but just wanted to throw out there that I missed this place as well!

The translation is so much clearer.

That was a great read zar. Really nice avi btw, it makes feel nostalgic for some reason.
