Many animes and cartoons are currently getting a remake. The mangaka of one of the “Big Three” animes, that is the 3 most popular animes of the 2000s, also wishes for a remake of his series.
Which anime is it about? We’re talking about Bleach. The anime is ranked among One Piece and Naruto as part of the “Big Three” due to its length and popularity. The manga ran from 2001 to 2016, and the anime of the same name has 366 episodes across 16 seasons.
However, the last arc of the manga was never adapted into the anime. Therefore, the sequel Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War followed, which addresses this. The anime is still airing and can be followed on Disney+.
Bleach already has a live-action movie that was released in 2018. However, mangaka Tite Kubo still wishes for a remake of the anime. Presumably, he means a remake similar to that of One Piece, which is intended to be a more concise version of the lengthy anime.

Bleach has too many fillers – Mangaka wishes for a remake
Where does this idea come from? Tite Kubo wrote on his blog that he wishes for a remake to be initiated. He would like the remake to faithfully follow the original work (via jeuxvideo.com).
Bleach doesn’t have 366 episodes for nothing: The anime contains many filler episodes that have nothing to do with the original story from the manga. Therefore, the mangaka wishes for a series that retells only the story that he envisioned.
This would streamline the anime significantly and make it more attractive for newcomers. Unfortunately, there is currently no confirmation that such a remake is in the works. Presumably, Tite Kubo still needs to find a production company that can make his wish come true.
Which remakes are currently popular? Currently, remakes of well-known animes and cartoons are trending:
- One Piece is getting its own remake. Netflix is producing a new adaptation that aims to condense the over 1,000 episodes.
- Meanwhile, the live-action series based on the anime premiered last year. The series was received so well, that work is already underway on a second season.
- Avatar: The Last Airbender has also received a new series. In the live-action adaptation, real actors portray Aang, Katara, and the others.
- Yu Yu Hakusho, which originally aired from 1992 to 1995, has also been given a live-action series. It is exclusively available on Netflix like the other remakes.
So it’s no wonder that the creator of Bleach wishes for his work to also receive a remake. However, it will take several years before such a series could be realized.
By the way, Bleach is among the anime series we would recommend if you are a fan of Dragon Ball: 5 Anime Series Like Dragon Ball
