As of right now, it's licensed in Europe (as the site that broke the story is London-based and the licensor being based in Amsterdam).

If it were licensed in the US, there would be an official press release or some crap like that.

End of story.

i was hoping funimation would be able to obtain it. oh well they got speed grapher and desert punk (sunabouzu) at least

just wondering, ifbleach does get officially lcense of wateva, does that mean we can no longer dl any of the epsisodes from anime suki or elsewhere on the net?

The torrents will no longer be listed on Animesuki but you'll probably be able to continue to find them on other tracker sites.

I believe DB will continue subbing it :D

I love Bleach, it's one of my favorite anime series... (I like it more than Naruto). I think the Soul Society arc is really great.. However, i don't really like the current fillers. Hope it gets back to the manga storyline soon ^_^

I haven't seen this anime, but the drawings look pretty cool. My friends are all watching it and are pretty addicted to it. I'll give it a try!

Outlaw - That's a mad looking signature!

Finally watched episode 71. <3.

You should check it out it's interesting characters and they don't annoy you with constant flashbacks with clips from previous episodes. They do flash backs in one entire episode and explain everything. The comedic scenes are also great, they give a good quick laugh.

Freaking shit!! Does anyone know when the hell Bleach OST 2 is coming out yet?

Anyway, I feel slightly stupid asking this, but while reading the new arc of the manga (ch. 210+ or something, the most recent ones), I seemed to have forgotten how Ichigo

Can anyone refresh my memory? Been a while since I picked up on it.

I don't think it's really been explained yet.

well Viz confirmed that they licensed bleach for good. oh well . that wont stop db from subbing it.

They can sub it in america untill they transfer the rights to show it on american television. Nothing illegal about that yet, so we might get a year or two reprieve.

I don't know. Naruto is still being fansubbed, despite currently airing on American television. Of course, the fansubs are lightyears ahead of the dubbed show.

Wrong info.

Correct Info.

VIZ MEDIA NAMED MASTER LICENSOR FOR
HIT JAPANESE ACTION MANGA SHONEN JUMP’s BLEACH

TV Tokyo Corporation And Shueisha Inc. Appoints VIZ Media To Represent Broadcast, Home Video And Merchandising Rights In The Americas, Europe And Oceania For SHONEN JUMP’s BLEACH!

San Francisco, CA, March 15, 2006 – VIZ Media, LLC (VIZ Media), one of the entertainment industry's most innovative and comprehensive publishing, animation and licensing companies, announced today that it has secured from worldwide licensors, TV TOKYO Corporation and Shueisha Inc., the television, home video and merchandising rights to SHONEN JUMP’S BLEACH in the Americas, Europe and Oceania. The appointment of VIZ Media as Master Licensor was facilitated by TV TOKYO Medianet, the licensing arm of TV TOKYO.

VIZ Media plans to introduce a dynamic rollout strategy that will leverage the strong manga (graphic novels) and entertainment brands into a broad licensing and marketing program. BLEACH’s television broadcast partner and key licensing partners will be determined shortly.

It is licensed in the America not Europe. :(

ain't that sucky .. .. o.O
But hopefully dattebayo will continue subbing them.

I wouldnt mind a few DVDRs of this show, since it will have the same fate/handling as Naruto has

I cant wait to see what kind of merchandise that awaits at a Hot Topic in the coming year or so.

Okay, quite a strange happening occurred. I finished getting Dattebayo's episode 73. It all starts out okay with the opening credits, but then the rest is a series of live footage of these mechanical contraptions. Is this a joke.
The file name is: YHBT Bleach 73 [1978AAE1] and its 175 MB.

There was no episode 73 this week. YHBT = You Have Been Trolled (or Tricked or something). pwnd? :(

edit: in the torrent description: Bleach 73 Joke Episode by DB

Oh I see. I have been tricked. Is this an early April Fool's?

::deletes file::

I've also got fooled by that torrent, but i found myself getting addicted to that stupid "show" heck it was really addicting, but the singing after the end of one contraption kidna got annoying.

Double Post:
Well spatula if you looked at DB's mainsite they have some, it seems this is random or whenever the subber is really drunk or high.

Yeah, I tend to go straight to animesuki (which no longer hosts the Bleach links) so I rarely if not have ever gone to their main site. I just searched up 73 on isohunt.

DB has been doing those fake subs for a long time, starting with Naruto. Like it was said before, they have a whole long list of them on their tracker page.

If you're looking for a place to replace finding them now that animesuki will no longer host them, go to www.baka-updates-com. They seem to have no qualms in linking to licensed anime. I would recommend just setting up their RSS feed in your browser. Makes things take 2 seconds to know what has been released.

the latest chapter of bleach, prepare for the typical shonen anticlimax:



you could get the latest hq in www.bleach7.com.

I'm a bit sad about Bleach being Licensed, because I liked Lunar sub better than Dattebayo's.
They're both good but DB leaves a few of japanese expressions untranslated.
