How to Watch Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Episode 1

The time has come, everyone. After a decade off the air, Ichigo Kurosaki will return to television today at last. Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War is just hours out from its launch. And of course, we're here to help you digest the big premiere if you need help finding it.

For those who plan to watch episode one as soon as possible, you will want to head to Hulu. Bleach will exclusively stream its new series on Hulu in the United States while other territories will be relying on Disney+. Hulu is also the only service streaming the original Bleach anime anymore, so audiences will want to keep that in mind this fall.

As for when the episode will drop, Bleach is scheduled to go live at 8:30 am PST / 11:30 am EST. It will only be available to watch on Hulu, so fans should prepare accordingly. Those watching on Hulu will be able to keep up with Bleach's new anime by way of a simulcast moving forward. And given the show's lengthy episode count, well – it won't take long for these steps to become second nature.
