Bleach: Brave Souls is based on the manga and anime of the same name. Formerly part of the 'big three' alongside Naruto and Dragon Ball, it was a hugely formative part of many young anime fan's viewership during the 2000s and early 2010s. For a while, it faded from the public consciousness after ceasing broadcasting, but with author Tite Kubo's return and the adaptation of the Thousand-Year Blood War Arc into a brand new series, Bleach is perhaps now more popular than ever.
