Translation thread of the Bleach site interview with Hiramatsu Masaki, who's in charge of the series composition and script (alongside the director Taguchi)! #BLEACH_anime
"Explain how you felt when it was decided you’d be part of the Bleach adaptation after 10 years."
- was requested by Taguchi
- it's his first time in this role for anime in 10 years
- had fun with the scripts
*note: Taguchi wrote ep 1-4, Hiramatsu has done the script since ep 5
"Do you have time to meet with Kubo Tite-sensei on top of working on the series composition?"
- regularly contacts him through his editor from Shueisha, will meet in person if it's hard to discuss through writing
- feels nervous everytime hahaha
"Tell us about any lasting impressions you have from communicating with Kubo Tite-sensei."
- Kubo's the one who wanted Aizen's talk with Yhwach to be adapted + helped write the script
- helps the anime staff make judgements on what to include/add/remove, treats everyone as a team
"What do you think is the appeal and good points of the TYBW arc?"
- enjoys the plot line of Ichigo discovering his origins and how he’s willing to befriend and protect everyone regardless of who they are
- thinks the appeal is the language used by Kubo which is unique to him
"Tell us your favourite scenes from the TYBW arc."
- (minor spoilers for anime-onlys)
- likes the Kenpachi vs Gremmy and Kurotsuchi vs Pernida fights
- likes Isshin and Ryuuken's backstory
- praised the voice-acting for Katagiri Kanae's scene (EBTR this cour confirmed????)
(more to come, I am eating dinner and need to finish the rest of the interview 🙇‍♂️ might have to skip the personal questions again due to time constraints)
"Tell us about any difficult parts/ things you were concerned about as you were working on the TYBW script."
(1/2) (he said a looot, sorry if it makes no sense 😭)
- concerned about "translating" the manga to anime
- cautious to not mix in the Bleach script with his own quirks
(2/2)
- has to face two sides of Kubo -- his past self (used to working on Bleach by himself) and his current self (now teaming up with others)
- respects Kubo for managing to serialise and finish Bleach on his own under harsh conditions
(skipped the personal questions due to busy schedule)

"Finally, leave a message for the upcoming broadcasts and the fans."

It is Bleach interview Sunday and today it's Hiramatsu aka one of the two people working on the series composition and one of the scriptwriters aka someone you guys may or may not want to pick a bone with depending on how happy you are with the TYBW anime pacing djsjdhd 💀
although research tells me he's been doing the script from Episode 5 onwards so far, and iirc it was the previous episodes that frustrated people the most LOLOL (Episodes 1-4 script written by Taguchi, for reference)
I haven't actually read that far into the interview yet so idk if there's anything juicy to share though
