VIZ Media announces that they’re showing the newest Bleach story arc, “Arrancar”, in back-to-back episodes Saturday nights on Adult Swim.
Bleach is a popular manga and animated series that “follows the adventures of Ichigo, a 15-year old student with the ability to see ghosts. When his family is attacked by a Hollow—a malevolent lost soul—Ichigo encounters Rukia, a Soul Reaper, and inadvertently absorbs her powers. Now, he’s dedicating his life to protecting the innocent and helping tortured souls find peace.
“In the new ‘Arrancar’ story arc of Bleach, Ichigo meets an unusual new student named Shinji Hirako, who has come to Karakura Town to recruit Ichigo into the Visoreds, a group of ex-Soul Reapers that have crossed over into the realm of the Hollows. Meanwhile, ex-Soul Reaper Captain Sosuke Aizen has sent his vicious mob of Arrancars to the World of the Living. When Ichigo is faced with this new and extremely powerful adversary, it will be up to him to protect everyone!”
Bleach animation is also available “through a variety of other web-based, video download and streaming outlets that have partnered with VIZ Media, including iTunes, Xbox Live, Joost, and Hulu.
