Bleach Anime Might Be In BIG Trouble...

Bleach Anime Might Be In BIG Trouble...So who will get the Bleach Anime Licence Crunchyroll or Disney..As hesitant as I am for making this video, I think it'...

Only heard it about it here, but he is not the source of the rumour. It's interesting as it lines up with the DisneyPlus push into Anime.

Honestly don't think this is a bad thing. I honestly can't stand the Crunchyroll app and find it very user unfriendly. Also a bidding war means more money for the studios involved.

The big issue here is that it likely means Bleach Blood War arc will end up like Summer Time Rendering. For those who don't know Disney+ has STR and hasn't uploaded a single episode yet despite 7 airing on Japanese tv.

I'm surprised Crunchyroll is able to keep up in this case, but I guess that's the Sony acquisition putting in work. Typically Amazon and Netflix would just blow everyone else away with wads of cash when it came to whatever they wanted.

EDIT: That video is unbearable lol. So. Much. Waffling.

Bleach is a little bigger and is by the looks of it getting more money spent on it. So hopefully will be simulcast.

Disney+ has been quietly obtaining more anime series. In Japan, they actually have Made in Abyss

I was wondering where people were watching Summer Time Rendering. Now I know just on pirate sites with fan subs.

Disney and Netflix have been locking up quite a bit of animes.

honestly, fuck these Netflix/Disney jails. I hope Crunchy gets it.

Disney pushing into anime but they can't even secure the Ghibli movies they did dubs for

I don´t understand why big streaming companies don´t get that with anime they have to release it weekly, that´s just how people consume it.

Look at what happened to Jojo, there was no hype for the new season. Also Shaman King. Netflix killed its hype.

He doesn't name his source, but I have seen a couple others on Twitter mention this so it seems the source might have been talking to a couple of people.

They still hold the Japanese rights oddly enough for DVDs etc. But they should of never let Ghibli go, nor should they have let go of Miramax. Both would be a boon for their streaming service now.

The TV app is so god damn garbage. It buffers every 15-20 seconds for no reason at all

On my Fire TV Cube the app never buffers correctly, even when on wired connection
But the Xbox app works flawlessly, if you have multiple Crunchyroll available devices would recommend testing around you might have a better option with a different device

On PC and Laptop its great of course but the TV app is absurd

Might give it a try on PS5 if there's one or just fire up the X1X. Thanks for the tip

Hype doesn't necessarily achieve their goals for their service. Is there any indication Stone Ocean made less money because of Netflix's distribution model?

I haven't been into Bleach in a very very long time. But I was unaware of Disney's intent to release anime, so that's pretty cool. I do not like the crunchy roll app.

I assume some of the D+ jail titles would land on Hulu in the US. Even with the mature content setting added to D+, I doubt they'd want them associated with their brand here. Summertime Rendering is pretty dark, to say nothing of the deeply problematic and creepy MiA.

Netflix doesn't like weekly releases. Hell I bet it was a tough pill for them to swallow releasing Better Call Saul weekly. It's all about the binge, which is also linked to why they also cancel a lot of shows.

I doubt we will ever find out regardless.

It's a really dumb title, which is why I didn't use it in the thread title.

My main concerned about Disney getting this are the retention of the prior English dub cast as well as being uploaded weekly.

Disney wants anime?

If I recall, they heavily censored Naruto when they had it on Disney XD
