The New Studio Pierrot
Greater Quality Than Ever
After the release of Bleach TYBW Part 2, Studio Pierrot announced the creation of a sub-studio named “Pierrot Films.” For over twenty years, Studio Pierrot has had a bad reputation for less-than-ideal animation quality and sub-par adaptations of beloved manga likeNaruto, Tokyo Ghoul, and Bleach. While these had moments of greatness, in general, fans consider these adaptations to not do justice to their source material.
With the release of Bleach TYBW, Studio Pierrot surprised fans by adapting the new arc with excellent modern animation and fantastic pacing and direction. A luxury the original series did not have. While the first two parts impressed, they were still compared to the incredible animation seen inDemon Slayer,Chainsaw Man, andJujutsu Kaisen.
The new sub-studio, Pierrot Films, is created with the intent of bringing works with much greater quality, akin to those acclaimed modern series mentioned. Pierrot Films will work independently of the main studio, and Bleach TYBW will be their headline project.
Expansion of the Source Material
Tite Kubo Seeks to Please Fans
Tite Kubo has worked closely with Studio Pierrot to improve on the original manga and include many scenes and plot lines he wanted to work on during the original release. Something he was unable to do due to his declining health. Kubo worked as more than a mere consultant with series director Tomohisa Taguchi, the two writing many new ideas for the anime. Things like Uryuu Ishida’s new scenes in Part 1, Ichigo’s extended battle with the Bambies, the flashback showing the original Gotei 13, and Senjumaru’s brand-new Bankai are some of these famous additions.
Tite Kubo has announced that Part 3 will include the biggest amount of new content seen so far. Kubo has stated the fan-favorite character, captain Juushirou Ukitake, will receive several new scenes, fleshing out his involvement in the final arc. Kubo also said the part would debut the brand-new Bankai for another character, but he didn’t say who. This was also a trend in previous parts, asShinji Hirako and Senjumaru Shutara’s respective Bankaiwere not in the original manga.
Bigger Battles Than Ever
The Captains Versus the Elite Guard
Part 3 will feature fewer battles than the previous two. However, these few confrontations will be more intense than ever. This part will see beloved captains square off against the members ofYhwach’s elite guard, the Schutztaffel. All of these feature revelations about the stories of these characters, and to the glee of all fans, the debut of their Bankai. These fights are expected to be priority episodes, just likeYamamoto versus Yhwachwas before. So they’re bound to deliver spectacular animation and direction.
This part will also be the return ofseveral beloved characters fans haven’t seen in a long time. Most of them also joining the battle on the side of Ichigo and the Gotei 13. Bleach TYBW Part 3 - The Conflict is sure to be another success, and most likely bigger than ever.
