The remake of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece by WIT Studio has ignited the desires of another fandom, who are now also demanding an anime remake of their favorite series. The series in discussion is Bleach by Tite Kubo. After the announcement of the One Piece remake, Bleach fans are also hoping for an anime remake of Bleach.
However, the fans are not the only ones who have been demanding a Bleach remake. Recently, it was revealed that the manga creator, Kubo, would also love to see a new anime adaptation of his magnum opus. Fans believe that the new technology will bring out a better Bleach world than what was shown in the previous anime series by Studio Pierrot.
Many even believe that Studio Pierrot’s anime adaptation was not justifiable to the brilliant storyline of Bleach manga and could have gone through certain improvements that would have made it more successful than it already is.
Tite Kubo Would Love a Bleach Anime Remake
Reikorun recently translated the Kluboutside Q&A by Kubo regarding Bleach and shared it on Tumblr. In the Q&A, a couple of Bleach fans asked Kubo how he would feel about a remake of the Bleach anime with the help of the latest technologies and features, and there is something already in the works.
Kubo stated:
“There are no such plans, but I’d like to make that happen.”
According to the manga, there are currently no plans for Bleach to get an anime remake, but he would certainly like to make that happen. Tite Kubo liked the idea of Bleach manga getting a better adaptation and following the original storyline.
Considering that One Piece is already getting a remake by WIT Studios, another manga from the Big Three receiving a remake could very well re-ignite the competition between the One Piece and Bleach fanbases. Studio Pierrot is already in the process of branding the company, and the first series that they will release after the branding is Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3.
Bleach Anime is Not Good Enough For Bleach Manga
Many Bleach fans believe that the first anime adaptation of the Bleach manga by Studio Pierrot was not good enough for the storyline. There were multiple aspects that justified these claims. The first being the filler arcs. Bleach anime could have easily sped up the filler chapters that were only there to set a base for the main story.
However, the anime followed each and every chapter precisely, which may be a good thing for the narrative, but it unnecessarily prolonged the anime series. Another thing that the anime could not do better is explain the side characters. Bleach manga has multiple arcs focusing on the other characters, but the anime did not put much focus on it and rather adapted the filler episodes.
From animation to fight scenes, there are many other aspects that Bleach fans believe could be adapted in a much better way with a new anime adaptation. However, with the current schedule of Studio Pierrot and its new branding, it is highly unlikely that the studio will take on such a big project.
You can watch Bleach on Hulu.
