Don’t really have an opinion besides “kinda sucks a lot for the “new” actor, they probably should had the original dub actor’s blessing first though to avoid this exact poo poo show” but the 30+ year voiceover veteran going out of their way to be passive aggressive to everyone that said “that sure sucks” is pretty lol.

It reminds me of the whole thing with Bayonetta's VA from last year, like you have a point maybe but being an rear end in a top hat about it isn't doing you any favors in making it

okay people i finally finished the series up to the part where Ichigo finally defeats Aizen. well, finally saw it again technically. saw it over a decade ago but missed a whole bunch of poo poo before that (hueco mundo, fake kurakara town, etc.). battle was as anti-climactic as i remember. there was also a whole lotta dumb poo poo involved along the way that i'll talk about later.

but for now, i'm wondering. is the arc immediately after (with the gigais taking over) worth watching? i hear it's filler, so i'm fine skipping it unless there's a compelling reason not to.

The Fullbringer arc is a mess and very Kubo. It has a neat setup and some cool characters and moments, but the second half just drops the ball completely and devolves into, well, good ol Bleach I guess? Watch it if you dig bleach fights, but you won’t miss any important plot beats if you skip it.

Fullbringer arc is actually awesome except it clearly gets editorially cancelled and just suddenly wraps up in the span of like four chapters.

None of the filler is worth watching, but I am biased and think Bleach has an absolutely terrible anime adaptation that isn’t generally worth watching anyway (except this last arc which slaps). Top tier soundtrack though!

I don’t think that’s a blistering hot take, even Kubo wasn’t a fan of the pre Blood War stuff iirc.

it's not. your question about the next filler arc was completely ignored in favor of an unprompted fullbring arc discussion.

To answer your actual question, the only filler arc that is worth watching is Zanpakuto Tales, since it has surprisingly good animation, some fun square ups you otherwise don't get to see in the main series, and gives the Zan spirits a chance to flex a little. All other filler can be safely skipped.

Adding to that, two of the sword spirits eventually become canon too, though they're kind of just cameos more than characters.

At least Senjumaru got to use her bankai this time even though they show Uryu confronting her and the trapped sternritters free and kneeling before Ywach

I guess that means Uryu wins a second meaningful fight in this series

Given he also used it to break Yhwach out of the tree cage the anime seems to be leaning into Ishida's Antithesis power being extremely broken.

Isnt Burn the Witch supposed to be semi canon to Bleach just based in England instead of Japan?

yes but that doesn't actually make sense on any level. so, standard kubo.

Isn't this series super short, like 3 chapters long? Maybe calling it a series is generous at best 🤔

I assume he was going to make it a full series if it got a good reception. I don't think it did

The first episode of BTW 0.8 is out on Crunchyroll. It's a prequel series to the current 3 EP short. Afaik it is planned to be full length, tho idk if that's 10 or 12 or 13 or more episodes or what.

Burn the Witch is just an excuse for Kubo to draw more cool people in cool fashion, and the links to Bleach will be entirely vibes based.

But I will still hope that it ends with some poo poo that somehow links to No/New Breaths From Hell.

I hope someday Harold Sakuishi and Kubo can collab on a manga together where Sakuishi can write a long narrative and Kubo can make costumes and they both just gush over their niche music interests

P sure I'm wrong and it's a one-shot being adapted into one episode

I don't loving know what they're planning to do with Burn the Witch, like it was a limited run but it was very clearly setting up more and they said there would be another "season" but that was like 2 years ago

There's the og limited run of 3 eps and one more 30m long tv special that released today! It might have more episodes, it's not clear to me even a little bit!

Do we think they'll add stuff for Chad and Orihime to do. Their additions for Squad Zero make me hope other people get a chance to shine.

Honestly I expect quite a bit of expanded content given the treatment they did for Squad Zero, these are uncharted waters we've been seeing with these past few seasons.
