Bleach Announces Major Poll In Light of Its Anime Comeback

By Megan Peters

Bleach has been away from television for over a decade now, but it will make its return before long. Creator Tite Kubo is helping revive the show at long last so it can adapt his manga's final act. In order to celebrate, one network is hosting a fan-poll to single out Bleach's best episodes, and it will culminate in a special summer marathon for fans new or old.

The word comes straight from Bleach's official Twitter as you can see below. It turns out the page is hosting a public fan-poll starting today. The event, which wraps on June 14th, is meant to gather which episodes from Bleach's original run are the best.

Once the results are tallied, Tokyo MX will air the top 13 episodes over in Japan ahead of Bleach's return. The poll is meant to gauge which episodes of the original anime still sit well with fans. And if this marathon does as planned, it will introduce a new wave of audiences to Bleach in time for its comeback.

Of course, fans are already signaling their votes with others online. The series has some impressive arcs under its belt despite all the filler in its way. From Bleach's debut arc to its Soul Society Rescue mission, Ichigo did a lot during his time on the small screen. And of course, fans are eager to see the manga's final arc make its way to television at last.

As for the anime, Hulu and Crunchyroll are streaming the series right now. So if you need more details on its supernatural plot, you can find Bleach's official synopsis below:

"Ichigo Kurosaki never asked for the ability to see ghosts-he was born with the gift. When his family is attacked by a Hollow-a malevolent lost soul-Ichigo becomes a Soul Reaper, dedicating his life to protecting the innocent and helping the tortured spirits themselves find peace."
