New wave of Bleach (Anime TV series) Funko Pop! vinyl figures.
Bleach is a Japanese anime television series based on Tite Kubo’s original manga series of the same name.
The Bleach anime series adapts Kubo’s manga, but also introduces several original standalone storylines.
The story centers on Ichigo Kurosaki, a teenager who gains the powers of a Soul Reaper – similar to a grim reaper – after an encounter with Rukia Kuchiki, a Soul Reaper herself. Soul Reapers are responsible for guiding souls to the afterlife and protecting the living world from evil spirits known as Hollows.
With his newfound powers, Ichigo takes on the responsibility of defending his family and friends from dangerous Hollows while learning about the intricate world of Soul Reapers, including the mysterious Soul Society where they reside.
Over time, Ichigo discovers hidden truths about his own lineage and uncovers dark conspiracies that threaten both the human world and the spiritual realm.
The anime series aired on TV Tokyo from October 2004 to March 2012, spanning 366 episodes. Bleach was broadcast in the United States on Adult Swim from September 2006 to November 2014.
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, a direct sequel series to the manga’s final storyline, premiered on TV Tokyo in October 2022. The anime series will run for four cours with off-season breaks in between.
The first cours, titled The Blood Warfare, consists of 13 episodes and ended in December of the same year. The second cours, titled The Separation, also consists of 13 episodes and was broadcast from July to September 2023. The third cours, titled The Conflict, is scheduled to premiere in October 2024.
Characters from Bleach have been transformed into Funko Pop! vinyl figures and are part of the Funko Pop! Animation series. Following the announcement of new Bleach Funko Pop! vinyl figures last month, Funko has now announced a new wave of exclusive Bleach Funko Pop! vinyl figures.
