Ten years after the series stopped, it returns to adapt the ending. No filler, a new studio, and a visible jump in budget.
Availability changes by country and by week, so this searches JustWatch rather than guessing.
Can you skip Thousand-Year Blood War (Part 1: The Blood Warfare)?
No. It carries part of the main Bleach throughline, and what comes after it assumes you have seen it. See the full Bleach order.
