An amazing welcome back from Bleach. Episode 1 is the perfect return for every Bleach fan. It has been almost 10 years since the original anime officially ended! If you are a fan like me, I’m sure you were hyped for its return, and once you started watching, I bet you thoroughly enjoyed the entire episode. No matter how many times I rewatch it, Episode 1 is truly amazing because it has everything we could want: high-quality animation, top-tier voice acting, and most importantly, a great story that gets everyone hyped. Starting with this episode, the plot dives deep into the ultimate enemy force, the Quincy. The Quincy and the Thousand-Year Blood War. In the original anime, the story dived really deep into the Hollows and Shinigami, so it’s only natural for it to now focus on the Quincies. If you stepped away from Bleach a long time ago, you might have started to forget about this group; but if you're someone who began the series more recently, they are definitely a faction you’re curious about. Since it’s only Episode 1, there are still a lot of mysteries waiting for us, but I think the premiere did a fantastic job. It sparks curiosity and sets up the perfect cliffhanger that leaves us eager for the next episode. Personally, Episode 1 isn't the absolute best episode of the arc yet, but it’s definitely the perfect welcome-back for everyone.
