“Bleach” in German?

Anime fans in Germany don’t always have it easy – as the Japanese hit “Bleach” once again proves. In 2009, 52 episodes of the series were brought to Germany under Panini, then there was silence for a long time.

It was only 10 years later that KAZÉ Germany picked up the series again. Since January 19, 2022, all 366 episodes have been available to stream as original subtitles. The German dubbing (GerDub) has been stuck at episode 205 since 2021 – there is currently no information as to when the anime will continue to be set to music.

For licensing reasons, the “Bleach” anime then disappeared from all German streaming services in April 2022. In the meantime, the anime can be seen again in the stream, but the original series is only available as an original subtitle or with the English soundtrack.

The continuation and at the same time the conclusion of the series “Thousand Year Blood War”, which follows the final arc of the manga, is also available with a German soundtrack.
