To date, Bleach has released 392 episodes which includes the Bleach anime series and Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War. The first episode of Bleach was released on October 5, 2004, and the latest episode was released on July 8, 2023.

Bleach was considered a Big Three anime from 2004 to 2014, but many fans started losing interest after new episodes stopped airing regularly. The story follows Ichigo Kurosaki, who became the substitute soul reaper after meeting the female protagonist of the series, Rukia Kuchiki. Together, alongside other Soul Reapers, they try to protect the world from the antagonist, Sosuke Aizen, who is known as the greatest threat to humankind. Bleach is based on Kubo’s original manga series of the same name and was produced by Studio Pierrot. The director of the anime series is Noriyuki Abe.
