Bleach is one of the Big Three of anime. Even though it did not reach the same popularity as Naruto and One Piece, it still played a crucial role in changing the course of the manga and anime industry for the better. Bleach revolves around Ichigo Kurosaki, who met a female shinigami, Rukia Kuchiki, and later became a substitute shinigami.
Tite Kubo did a great job with his magnum opus, but the fans always felt that the ending was rushed and could have been explored more. While most fans thought it was due to Shueisha forcing Kubo to wrap up the manga in a limited time, it was actually the mangaka who wanted the manga to end. The Thousand Year Blood War arc suffered a rushed ending.

When we talk about renowned manga series in the otaku community many popular names come to our mind. The choices are vast as fans would say names of popular titles like Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Demon Slayer, and many more. However, Akutami-san’s and Oda-Sensei’s work remains on top of the charts, both mangas have broken numerous records in 2023.

In a recent interview with Men’s Non-No the producer of Bleach, Yoshihiko Tominaga, disclosed that Studio Pierrot is launching a new studio ‘Pierrot Films’.
By launching the new sub-brand, Studio Pierrot, known for long-running series like Naruto and Bleach, is making a strategic shift, acknowledging the evolving anime landscape and the growing demand for high-quality, shorter-season anime, a trend Pierrot hasn’t always embraced as effectively as other studios.
Tominaga revealed that while the studio excels at long-term productions, it hasn’t always kept pace with the trend of shorter, impactful series like Jujutsu Kaisen. To adapt to this changing audience preference Pierrot Films will focus on producing such projects, starting with the highly anticipated Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War.

Inosuke Hashibira from Koyoharu Gotouge’s Demon Slayer is known for his arrogant yet comedic behavior. He is one of the main characters in the series and has grown considerably since he joined forces with Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Zenitsu. However, growth is not limited to physical strength and abilities.

A voice actor’s job can be pretty tough. This was proved to us by Aleks Le, the voice actor for Sung Jinwoo from Solo Leveling and Zenitsu from Demon Slayer. A few days ago, he shared a video where he revealed that the role of Sung Jinwoo put so much strain on his voice that he coughed up blood while voicing a fight scene.

Although the character of Sung Jinwoo is normally calm and logical, he sometimes gets enraged and violent while fighting strong enemies or opponents during his dungeon battles. This leads to him screaming and shouting, thus indirectly affecting the voice actor. However, that is not the case for all characters.
As mentioned before, Le also portrays the role of Zenitsu Agatsuma in Koyoharu Gotouge’s Demon Slayer. During an interview last year, the voice actor shared his experience working for one of...

Demon Slayer has been grabbing everyone’s attention through its fascinating animation. There has been no slowing down from Koyoharu Gotouge’s magnum opus. As the seasons progressed, the animation got better, and its popularity also increased. Ufotable did a great job with the animation, and fans are expecting more from them in the next season, which will take it one step toward the end.
While Ufotable has revolutionized the Japanese animation industry, Mappa seems to have done the opposite. The Mappa controversy was a massive issue in late 2023. The animation studio pressurized their employees to work for longer. With such problems, the animation should pay attention to what Demon Slayer producer had to say regarding the condition of animators.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has been one of the biggest crowd-attractors in recent times, and deservingly so. Studio Ufotable’s unbelievable animation, paired with Koyoharu Gotouge’s gripping tale of struggle, has proved to be the golden combination for blockbusters.
Yuma Takahashi has produced the Demon Slayer anime and worked with it since the first season was produced in 2019. In an interview with Anime News Network, the producer opened up about the anime’s creation process and Koyoharu Gotouge’s role in it.
Tanjiro in Demon Slayer season 3 Was Koyoharu Gotouge Deeply Involved in the Animation Process of Demon Slayer?
According to the interview, Koyoharu Gotouge looked over the scenarios, character designs as well as settings of the Demon Slayer anime. They were intimately involved with the anime creation process. However, the writer also had immense trust in Ufotable, and rather than constantly nitpicking about changes, they just adhered to providing useful advice.

After becoming renowned in the manga world, Mangaka Koyoharu Gotouge sensei’s Demon Slayer went on to conquer the anime world as well through its anime adaptation of the same name. And while the fan-favorite masterpiece story still holds an edge in both industries among other superhit and widely acclaimed projects, One Piece remains one of its strongest competitors in both.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
That being said, there is one thing that gives a further edge to Kimetsu no Yaiba over Eiichiro Oda sensei’s storyline. But this one thing isn’t related to the stories of the sagas, but rather, the animated versions of them, in which Gotouge sensei’s story seems to have effortlessly passed its opponent, thanks to all the new techniques used to efficiently transform the anime into its best version.

Studio Pierrot, the production studio behind the hit anime series “Boruto: Naruto Next Generations,” is reportedly contemplating a significant change in the show’s format. In a recent interview, the president of Studio Pierrot hinted at the possibility of transitioning “Boruto” into a seasonal series.

Demon Slayer’s popularity has been constantly rising since it first began its serialization. It got a further boost in its popularity when it was adapted into an anime. The plot revolves around Tanjirou Kamado, whose family was killed by the Demon King. Later, he joins the Demon Slayer Corps and goes on a journey to avenge his family. Apart from the story, it was the animation that stood out the most.
Demon Slayer season one mostly covered the Water Breathing Style. Several characters from season one was shown to use it, including Tomioka Giyu and Urokodaki Sakonji. Even the main protagonist also trained to learn the Water Breathing Style. The Water Breathing Style was a visual treat to the fans, but there was a lot of hard work that went into bringing it onto the screen.

Among the several new-generation anime-manga series, the easiest and simplest storyline that can be followed and enjoyed belongs to Demon Slayer. One of the reasons for the series’ popularity all around the globe is its relatable characters, breath-taking animation by Uftoable, and easy-to-follow plot with no complicated power systems.
Tanjiro’s Red Blade
The series has introduced several characters to the fans who have become massive hits among the audience, one of them being Kamado Tanjiro, who is the main protagonist of the story. Overflowing with hope and innocence, he is one of the most likable anime characters ever.
It would be surprising to hear, but in the original Demon Slayer draft, Tanjiro was a completely different person and his appearance and demeanor were opposite to what we have now.
Tanjiro would have turned out to be a very aggressive and dark protagonist in the original Demon Slayer draft
