Popular anime, Bleach, releases Star Wars: Andor-themed poster

It is always a great day when one of the best anime releases artwork inspired by another amazing fictional franchise. The popular anime, Bleach, just released a poster inspired by the famous Disney+ TV show, Andor, which is a part of the ever-growing Star Wars universe.

The popular anime, Bleach, has been turning heads for two decades now. Recently, the third season of Thousand Year Blood War premiered, leaving fans in anticipation for the show's fourth and final season.

Well, alongside Bleach's popularity, Star Wars: Andor, which is being considered the best piece of Star Wars media in the last 10 years, just released its second season. And yes, it has been getting raved about by critics.

And now, the two worlds are colliding, as the popular anime shared a side-by-side photo on Twitter showing off a similar image to Andor's popular poster.

The biggest takeaway is that both show Andor and Uriyu in the same position, signifying the similarities in both characters fighting against an organization they had been a part of.

However, this photo portrays the world of Bleach from a bit different perspective, as all the characters surrounding Uriyu are members of the Wandenreich, a hidden Quincy empire deadset on destroying the world of Soul Reapers.

Then, at the bottom of the poster, is the show's protagonist, Ichigo Kurosaki. In the Andor photo, the poster has a Stormtrooper in that same spot. This is showing us the point of view of Uriyu, who is secretly fighting against the Wandenreich, while having to secretly act as if Ichigo and the Soul Reapers are the enemy.

It is an incredible way to portray the world of Bleach, and is making fans incredibly excited for the show's fourth season.

Bleach is an anime that first aired back in 2004. After more than a decade of its story airing, the show wrapped up, only to come back as Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War. While the original series was well over 300 episodes, this new series is only four seasons, with around 12 episodes each season.

The story tells of a young man who joins the world of Soul Reapers, a secret society with special powers that help fight against Hollows, which are special demons that occupy the real world.

Andor first premiered its first season back on Disney+ in 2022 and has instantly become a fan favorite amongst Star Wars fans. The show just aired its second season, and follows Diego Luna, a resistance fighter looking to destroy the Empire.

The events of Andor lead up to the events of Rogue One, where the Death Star is ultimately destroyed. It is a new storyline for fans to venture through, helping prove that the universe of Star Wars is not going anywhere.
