Has there already been news of Bleach’s come back? Well yes and no, Bleach Anime was cancelled after 366 episodes when Ichigo told Rukia they’ll meet again. At that point, many of the fans stated that due to the manga being too close to the anime it had to either play fillers or stop. Well, Bleach stopped but only after a few months, there’s already news that Bleach will be coming back on the 22nd of March 2013!
There has been no confirmation of Bleach airing on the 22nd March 2013, except for a special tweet from Kubo Tite’s twitter account. As the image on the right shows, it’s been translated from Japanese to English, asking Bleach fans how excited they are for Bleach anime’s return on the 22nd of March. The translation or tweet has not been confirmed to be true or false, although it seems like a lot of fans are believing this. The TV-Tokyo schedules also doesn’t seem to go far enough to show this date, therefore it’s still unconfirmed if it is actually going to be back on this date.
So what do you guys think of this? Will Bleach 367 actually be back on the 22nd of March (22/03/2013) or is this just a hoax? Also this air date is the Friday, which isn’t the usual Tuesday weekly date for Bleach anime.
UPDATE (22/03/2013): There is no new Bleach Anime Episodes (yet), Tite Kubo confirmed the above tweet being fake. It was in fact a hoax!
The awesome artwork above was drawn by the one and only Touya101. She has a ton of other artwork which you should definitely check out relating to a lot of Bleach fan art.
I really hope that this isn’t just a rumor. But at the same time, I hope that they won’t be doing anymore “filler” arcs.

Completely agree, hopefully it doesn’t spoil the whole of the final arc by adding more filler episodes. I’d wait longer but if Kubo feels as it’s going to be fine at till the end, then i’ll be more than happy to wait to see what happens…

If I understand correctly though, the reason Bleach was “cancelled” was so that the animators could work on the current arc instead of making filler episodes.
LikeLike
Many fans have deduced that the anime and manga were very very close, and the decline in viewers for Bleach could have meant the end of Bleach if they carried on the way it did.
Filler episodes weren’t really amazing so Kubo decided to temporarily cancel it until the manga was far enough so they could just begin with the final arc… They didn’t want to make another filler arc as it could have killed Bleach.

You know, a lot of people hated the fillers and don’t get me wrong, I didn’t like them as much as the main arcs, but I did appreciate that I got to watch something, i.e. the Bount arc was pretty good, and in my opinion I’d rather watch a filler episode than no episode at all.

I think it’s definitely a hoax. The manga has barely progressed so if the anime came back, they’d still be caught up rather quickly. I think it’s best to not bring the anime back for at least several more months. Plus, I’m still pretty positive that it won’t be the same anime, but a sequel with a fresh episode count and all. Still, if this isn’t a hoax, then that’s pretty cool. It’ll be good to have Bleach again

Honestly, the “filler” episodes didn’t bother me. I wait longer for some books than I did for Bleach to go through a filler arc. Honestly, if you are a fan of something, be a fan, not a whiny little brat because they want to save a big reveal. Had they not had filler, how long ago would Bleach have ended? Or would we have wound up with something like FMA, where the anime went off on a tangent from the Manga, and had to be completely redone to correct it? As someone who waited 22 years for the Wheel of Time, and 10 Years for the Sword of Truth to finish, waiting a couple weeks for them to go back to the main story is easy. No wonder the Mangaka was upset with the fan base. They need to learn patience.

Fake. There is no such tweet on his twitter account.

Plus, I don’t want the anime to come back this soon. It should comeback 2014 March. By then, the manga would have had a good lead of about 100 chapters. Right now it is ahead by hardly 50 chapters. If it comes now, then we will definitely have another filler arc. Bleach cannot take filler arcs. The ratings dipped to as low as 1 when it had filler arcs.
LikeLike
Seems legit.
And sure I can’t find that tweet on any of the many tite kubo named accounts on twitter. Got me excited for 5mins, damn it!
Disagree with the fillers coz they weren’t all that bad, can compare with fillers from all the main Anime out there, weird it went so far down on ratings (not sure about your one tho). Naruto has had some bad fillers and is still up there, even One Piece seriously pissed me off last week when I came across 4 hideous episodes put right inbetween the best episodes up to that point.
But hey love Bleach, hope some day they come back as good as ever.

I just hope Kubo decides for himself when Bleach will make a comeback and maybe make a good intro for the new people. That can also fill the Anime so it does not race to where the manga is at this moment. If they do they can take some of the good (Important) parts and a little explanation maybe. I Would not mind watching 20 episodes that are being remade in the anime to make clear of What bleach is towards the new people. (also alot of Fighting scenes can be improved.. although i don’t think they have to).. but Ulquiorra fight would be nice. For example.

People should be patient. Right now the manga is just 54 chapters ahead. The anime might comeback in a year. I’m sure they’d prefer having Bleach run than Rock Lee. At least Bleach got higher ratings due to the following.
The anime had about 140 filler episodes off the 366 total number of episodes. That is about 40% of the total episodes which is A LOT. If they bring it back now, the anime will catch up with the manga in no more than 30-40 episodes. My guess is that by mid 2014 or lil later than that, we’ll see the anime return as by then the manga would be ahead by more than 120 chapters. So in that case, the anime would get about 80 episodes before it almost catches up to the manga. That is almost 2 years worth of actual episodes.
By the end of the year, we’ll probably hear announcements stating that the anime will return in 2014.
