The new season of former NebsTV show Bleach began this week in Japan, & with it came new opening & closing animation! A year ago we posted something very similar to this, but since YouTube wasn't as huge then as it is now, I just made screencaps instead of posting a video. =b WARNING: Don't watch these clips if you're afraid of spoilers. Also don't read the rest of this post if you're afraid of spoilers (this means you, dub-only watchers =b).

So as can become clearly obvious by watching the new opening, Orihime plays a HUGE role in the upcoming saga. It even shows her in her Arrancar outfit (which she looks extremely hot in, for whatever reason). Yup yup, my second favorite Bleach girl goes to the dark side & joins Aizen. Chado gets a power-up too, as we can observe.

The new ending goes back to doing what the animators seem to enjoy doing every so often (& which the fans enjoy as well), & that's showing the Shinigami in ordinary everyday clothes. It's weird how something so simple can seem so cool, but it is. As usual, Hinamori (my #1 favorite Bleach girl) looks EXTREMELY cute in her outfit. =D

I'm not sure how I feel about the new songs. They're nice, but not in a "so cool!" kinda way. More like in a unique way. The ending song sounds especially nice, but again in a way that's different from usual. It's not the kind of tune usually associated with Bleach, but it seems to fit nice with the new animation. All in all not bad, although Kon singing at the beginning of the opening looked really odd.

video, bleach, anime
