Bleach episode 366 review
It’s over. The year of Bleach is over. We saw Ichigo go from gaining Soul Reaper powers to struggling with Menos Grande to sneaking into the Soul Society to winning fights against Renji, Kenpachi, and Byakuya (and losing to Aizen) to wasting time with Bounts to going to Hueco Mundo to spending time taking care of Rurichiyo to coming back and beating Aizen this time around to finally beating Ginjo to finish up our 366 episodes of Bleach.
This final episode tied up all the loose ends in the final couple of minutes after an episode of Soul Reapers talking to each other. If you blinked, you missed three new Captains and all kinds of other stuff. Each character gets about five seconds of screen time. But hey, it was a good way to go out.
Bleach, in retrospect, is much better than I gave it credit for. I criticized this show way too much when it was airing. In the end, it finishes up as a very good watch. Is it a masterpiece? No. Is it one of my favorites? No in the sense of being rated 9 or higher. But boy, is it worth sticking around for. If you ever get the chance, watch through all of Bleach and see what you think of it. It’s better than you think.
Now, as to what comes next, I may watch the Bleach movies, I may take on another series to watch every day, or I may just kick up my shoes and relax. We’ll find out in 2026. Until then, thanks for reading my Year of Bleach!
