BLEACH Anime Adds Scenes The Manga Never Showed, Under Tite Kubo
The additions fans might once have dismissed as adaptation liberties carry the original author's own current intent, which is the part anime regulars and manga readers are least used to seeing.
Reporting from 1 source: Magmix.
The BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War anime has brought battles and settings not depicted in the original manga to the screen, with original creator Tite Kubo serving as general supervisor. The production team consults Kubo while producing anime-original scenes, and voice actor Masakazu Morita has explained that these additions are not settings the anime side invented but story that existed within Kubo. The source describes Kubo's involvement as rare in depth for a manga-based anime.
The BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War anime is not a straight adaptation. Battles and settings absent from the original manga have appeared on screen, and the production team has said it consults original creator Tite Kubo while producing scenes that go beyond the source. The actress Masakazu Morita, who voices Ichigo Kurosaki, has explained that these are not settings the anime side made up on its own but a story that existed within Kubo. The arc airing now, BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Conflict, is unfolding that climax.
