## **About This Release**
Bleach (2004) is one of the most important anime of the 2000s, yet it has terrible quality episodes on western home releases and streaming services. VIZ's US DVDs, Blu-Rays and Disney+ versions are notorious for having jagged blurry line art, heavy haloing, artificial sharpening, incorrect handling of interlacing, and poor upscale of SD sources. So we set out to compile a **complete BLEACH experience** including chapters, dual audio, stylised subtitles synced and timed.
**The BLEACH Japanese Blu-Ray Box only has canon episodes, so they were used as a main source. For the Filler episodes we used the R2J DVDs.**

## **Frequently Asked Questions**
**Q: What do I download if I already have V1?**
A: If you downloaded V1 then you need to download and replace the following episodes: **52, 53, 63, 168-189, 204-205, 213-214, 227-266, 287, 298-299, 303-305, 311-341, 355**
**Q: Why not use SOFCJ or Okay-Raws for ALL episodes instead of DBD-Raws?**
A: This release prioritises the Japanese Blu-ray presentation for canon episodes, which DBD-Raws provides. The encode quality debate is subjective, some prefer the detail retention of DVD sources, others prefer the higher resolution Blu-ray presentation. For a pure R2JDVD approach, [pursua's release](https://nyaa.si/view/2047924) is recommended.
**Q: What changed in subtitles?**
A: All episodes now have embedded fonts and unified dialogue styling for professional, consistent appearance throughout all 366 episodes.
**Q: Can I watch this on any media player?**
A: Yes! All fonts are embedded, so subtitles will display correctly on any device without installing fonts. mpv is recommended though.
**Q: What changed from V1?**
A: V1 had legitimate problems, lossy re-encodes, missing fonts, inconsistent styling. V2 addresses all of these concerns. V2 includes the complete series, dual audio, proper subtitles, best available sources for each episode canon or filler. It's not claiming to be the only valid release, just a comprehensive one.
