BLEACH Thousand Year Blood War

[SorenVC]

Anyone here who watches this anime? I personally never watched any anime at all except original Naruto (before Shippuden) when I was a kid. I simply watched all anime scenes that were good on YouTube. But when this Thousand Year Blood War thing came up I had to watch all of it.

If you google "hianime bleach thousand year blood war" you can watch all currently 3 cours (3 seasons) for free. At the end of 2025 or in the beginning of 2026 we will get the 4th and final season where this anime story ends. I will be excited for cour 4. My favorite characters are Jugram Haschwalth and Yhwach and the Quincies in general.

I highly recommend watching this anime, it's hot stuff! The best anime I know.

How much of the main series can I watch/skip to get to go through this without missing anything important to the story?

I want specific numbers. Like E1 through E36 or E-126 through 149(but not 148 which is a bikini beach party)

Bleach was great, i assume there is a OVA or whatever that cuts 99% of the filler and nonsense out, i stopped watching after the main first story arc was over, soon as the main character says the word and his sword does the thing, the story is over, everything after that isn't needed.

edit:
Yes, the first story arc of Bleach, known as "The Substitute Soul Reaper," has two OVAs: "Memories in the Rain" and "The Sealed Sword Frenzy"
edit edit: apparently AI is lying cause i don't even recognize scenes / bad guys from this OVA trailer lol.

whatever the supercut of the shit off adult swim like 20 years ago is worth watching, and it stops being good when like 10 new bad guys show up out of nowhere, after 10 filler episodes about a dork with a bow

imo.

Just watch BLEACH Thousand Year Blood War on hianime for free.

Cour 1 has no name
Cour 2 The Separation
Cour 3 The Conflict
Cour 4 The Calamity (releasing 2026)

Google BLEACH Thousand Year Blood War cour 1 hianime and you will find all cours. If cour 1 is too boring you can skip it. The best Episode so far is cour 3 episode 12 friend.

You can watch a cour in a single day. I watched cour 2 in one day after work until after midnight.

i literally can't decide if SorenVC is the best ai agent on the forum so far doing a ad for HiAnime, or just German.

I never watched any anime. In childhood I watched some Naruto before Shippuden and Yu-Gi-Oh! on television. I watched the best scenes of Shippuden and BLEACH on YouTube. That was good enough. Then I figured TYBW is very good and new and I found hianime to watch it. Pretty good site I think.

I'm just German and traumatized.

Why did you ask about hianime though. I found this site randomly. I have never seen a better site to watch free anime. Isn't it the best? When cour 4 comes in 2026 I'll watch it on hianime.
