Bleach, which along with Naruto and One Piece was a titan of 2000s anime, will return in 2021.

The anime met an anti-climactic end in 2012 after steadily losing fans for seasons. It was canceled before the final story arc of the manga, "Thousand Year Blood-War," was adapted. Several things led to this, including the health concerns of series creator Tite Kubo and tensions with the Shonen Jump editorial staff. A video on the topic by Super Eyepatch Wolf posted in 2016 has gained over 3.4 million views.

The reboot will pick up where the anime left off, meaning Bleach will finally see a proper conclusion. While the series ultimately proved divisive as fans realized its flaws, the news of a rebooted anime from their childhood naturally had old fans thrilled.

Additionally, Kubo's one-off manga Burn The Witch will also be receiving an anime adaptation. It's unclear where these will stream in the U.S., but anime fans will surely find a way to watch the conclusion of Bleach when it drops in 2021.
