The opening theme song for the anime Bleach is an energizing rock tune that always brings back fond memories whenever I hear it. But the closing credit songs are also fantastic in their own right.
From established artists like YUI to up-and-coming talents such as Aimer, these melodies pack a powerful emotional punch. It’s almost like getting sliced by Ichigo Kurosaki’s devastating Getsuga Tenshou attack!
So many great ending themes have been featured in Bleach over the years. I want to highlight just a few of my personal favorites:
