Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War didn’t just revive Bleach — it exposed a major flaw in modern long-running anime.
Studio Pierrot’s decision to switch Bleach TYBW to a seasonal format completely transformed the series, improving its animation quality, pacing, and fan reception. That success raises an unavoidable question:
Should Boruto and Black Clover follow the same path?
In this video, I break down:
-Why Bleach TYBW’s seasonal format worked so well
-The shared problems between Boruto, Black Clover, and the original Bleach anime
-How filler arcs and weekly schedules hurt animation quality and storytelling
-Why Boruto and Black Clover both went on hiatus
-And how a seasonal anime format could fix these issues
With anime like Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen raising industry standards, the traditional weekly anime model is starting to fall apart. Bleach TYBW may have revealed the blueprint for survival — and Boruto and Black Clover could be next.
