In an interview with mensnonno, translated on X by @Anhiksi, Yoshihiko Tominaga, the producer of Bleach: Thousand Year Blood Warmainly talked about his experience producing the comedy series Osomatsu-san, and at the end discussed the anime industry’s current trend and how they are adapting.

To compete with the many high-quality shows that are being produced, Pierrot established a new section called Pierrot Films which is dedicated to producing anime with movie quality. Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War Part 3 is one of the first series that will be handled by this division, and fans can rejoice knowing that the new season will receive an even higher level of production quality than seen before.

Bleach’s Quality Will Skyrocket

Season 3 Will Be A Cinema-Like Experience

Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War is Pierrot’s most successful series in a long time, and this is mainly due to the quality of the show. Following its success, the studio will be switching to a seasonal format for many of its series, including Boruto and Black Clover. The studio is taking it a step further by creating a division that will make even better quality anime, surpassing its previous best and competing with studios such as Ufotable and Mappa, which are producing massive hits.

It is not uncommon for anime studios to have separate divisions for different anime. My Hero Academia is made by a different part of Bones, Sunrise has many different divisions, and Studio Bind was created just to animate Mushoku Tensei. However, Pierrot’s new branch is ambitious as it is part of the revamping of the studio’s production style.

The anime’s return in 2022 marked a turning point for Studio Pierrot, as it was the catalyst for the studio to look into seasonal anime. The high quality was praised, and although part 2 was less well-received regarding the animation, it was still an excellent season. And now, the most exciting part of Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War will have far more resources and time spent on it, ensuring that they do justice to Tite Kubo’s manga.
