New Opening and Ending coming soon

[Utaware3rd]

Starting from episode 105 onwards Bleach will have a new opening called "Splash!!" performed by B'z and from episode 102 onwards, its new ending will be "El Mirador" performed by Nobodyknows+. As always this info came from animenewsnetwork.com (which has never been wrong or misleading). The ending sounds interesting for manga reasons (maybe fillers end is closer than we think)

[Undying]

Indeed; Spanish sounding ending may mean we get back to the manga. Interesting...

Niceeee! I love new opeenings, is there a way that we could see these new ending and opening? or do we have wait like suckers for a around 2 month im guessing. :p:
And god i hope you r right about the fillers.

[Utaware3rd]

I still doubt the fillers will end at 105 but maybe like 110 instead which is good either way. I hope their good cause I really liked the current opening/ending.

[smach]

i think we've still got around 20 eps b4 we get to manga. unless they blend the arancarus to bounto saga

Everyone should also check out B'z "Atsuki Kodou no Hate", one of my favourite j-rock songs :)

[slimgotti]

speaking of openings and endings will we see these same ones once it shows on TV in the states or are they gonna change it up?

[Utaware3rd]

Their both okay but I like the current ones more

[MissToushiro]

I like the theme we have now :O
Because u get to see some one in a different outfit everi week

[Utaware3rd]

The openings will probably be cut completely while the endings remain there unchanged, to answer your Slimgotti

[Kazmiz]

not bad, though I was kinda expecting something different, hope the bounto episodes end faster, wanna see some real action!:musak:

[HiDDeNMisT]

El Mirado means the onlooker i should know i speck it lol and yeah we hopefully we might get back to the manga

[xmontx]

Yeah me too, but new opening and closing is nice too, makes you aware that the anime/show is progressing.

[Utaware3rd]

I just hope that this means the fillers will be over soon. An by the way after listening to them both a bunch of times I've grown to like them even more, especially the ending.

[Nicole]

I like the B'z one. I don't like the El Mirador one, though... Takacha is WAAAY better than that. ><

[Mazral]

I usually antcipiate new openings but I'm a bit worried about this one..it's the deciding factor of whether or not the fillers continue for another season or not. Openings go much longer than endings..so if it IS a fillerish beginning (consisting of Jin and the bountos) then it's 99.9% likely we'll have about 25 more fillers..

However I don't know how they're going to make the new opening if we DO go back to the manga arc. Putting manga characters in the beginning isn't too smart because it's major spoilers..

I suppose it all depends..as I said before I'm a bit nervous..

edit: just listened to the songs...the new ending is soo Bleachish for some reason xD I really like them both :D though I think, as of now, I like takacha's song better. LOVE the new opening though ^^ Much better than the crappy engrish one we have now.

[gdo01]

Putting manga characters in the beginning isn't too smart because it's major spoilers..

Well, the second opening revealed many of the lieutenants and captains who had only been shown once or not at all by Episode 25.

Ichirin no Hana revealed Komamura's true face, Yamamoto's shikai and Ukitake's shikai (though it had already been revealed in a closing sequence already)

Tonight Tonight revealed Baura, and the still pictures have already revealed Shinji and Grimmjaw.

So I think that if the next 25 episodes are not filler, then they should, can, and will show manga characters that have not been revealed yet since they have done it many times already.

Edit: I'm indifferent to B'z's Splash! but I'm very interested in El Mirador. I like the song but I'm wondering how they are going to put animation on such a fast song.

[Seilin]

Hmm, I do agree with some people that there is a big possibility in fillers ending. Both of opening and ending sounds ok to me, but I'm not much of a J-Rock fan. I'm more interested in B'z Splash than El Mirador though and the song, B'z - Atsuki Kodou no Hate, recommended by Static_Clarity sounds really good to me.

[Mavvy]

The ED seems good but I dont know about the OP. It doesnt seem to fit in. I wonder what it will be like when it actaully comes out.

Yeah. I was surprised when I saw Grimmjaw in the OP video ep 94. I was like whoa. Fillters could end soon.

[hoshi-p]

I noticed this today at animenewsnetwork and did some digging. I trust ANN, but if these are the new songs, they're a little odd.

First of all, both of them have already been released. In the past all of the OP and ED songs have been new.

Secondly, as far as I could tell, B'z is not a Sony artist or an artist on a subsidiary label of Sony (like Epic records). All of the artists so far have been with Sony. It seems strange to break a streak like that since it seems to imply an agreement to use Sony artists exclusively.

Finally, though this isn't that strange, the starting episode of 104 gives the current opening song a longer run than any other by about 4-5 episodes. Actually, I see that as a good thing because that seems to give a little extra time to finish off these filler episodes (one would hope).

Anyway, like I mentioned previously, I generally trust ANN, and I'm not implying that they're wrong, I just wanted to share my thoughts on some abnormalities with these songs and see what others think.

[ichigo_bishounen]

ARGH~! I can't wait!!! But so far, all the openings & endings have been really good...

[Stray4545]

oow i really like the intros endings and openings right know =[ but o well i think they sound kinda cool just hoping the fillers will end now =D

[Utaware3rd]

I also hope the visuals for the songs are done really well, cause so far Bleach oopenings/endings have synced up with the visuals really well.

[SumDumGai]

I'm looking forward to checking out the new opening and ending, but I'm sure fillers won't be ending. Naruto fillers have been going on over a year and a half, and every new opening/ending all Naruto fans wonder about the same thing. =P It's a sad cycle, it is. Shouldn't get your hopes up!

[7D$]

like the current ones more >.> <.< :(

[Kabane]

heh, anyone know where i can get El mirador?

[Calenatarion]

Sweeeeet..going back to the manga! So both Naruto and Bleach will return pretty soon!

[Dissidia]

hoshi-p brings up some good points, but I do hope the news is legit. I uploaded the songs as a .rar to sendspace, It took me a while to find El Mirador, then I found out they already had it at bleach7 :p: . Link below-

The ending is so cool... But The opening is... So Uncool... They should find some other bands.. Eg L"Arc~En~Ciel...

[Achilles]

but...but....but I like tonight tonight tonight. Hope that new opening is good

[nikuwadoko]

the ending is pretty awesome....and


B'Z FTW!!!! Finally a B'z song for Bleach! Jrock legend!!!

[rOyKiA]

Well I always liked Bleach's openings and endings but like some posters say, I hope they sync the visual with the songs 'cause other openings and endings have great synchronozation with the visuals.

[hoshi-p]

The songs were removed from ANN's page. According to Bleach7, the ANN staff member who took them down said the following:

The submitted claimed that "SPLASH!!" by B'z was taken from the official website of B'z, which, has no such information as far as I could tell. "El Mirador" by nobodyknows+, however, the submitted claimed it came from 2chan.ORG, which, is a nonexistent URL. The URL of the famous Futaba Channel (2chan) is 2chan.NET. This made me suspicious that the submitter might have never visited those Japanese web-BBS and just created them by guessing -- an evidence of borderline spamming.

I've taken both down temporarily. If they are verified to be true I'll put them back; otherwise the user will be banned for submitting false information intentionally.

Even if they weren't the right songs (and I'm thinking they aren't for the reasons I listed before), we're still due for some new ones soon, so I hope we hear some real news in the next few weeks!
