The Seireitei (A Bleach Podcast)

In this week's episode, Del, Lethan, and Naomi discuss what would happen if Kyoraku flash stepped too fast, fan-souling over Ukitake and Kyoraku, and how Bleach's entire animation budget went into Rukia crying.  *Note: As of 2022, The Seireitei Podcast is no longer connected to an active Discord server or Facebook page.

This week, Lethan and Nomi dip their toes into the implications of the newly-confirmed Quincy invasion, fan-soul about a few unexpected anime-only scenes (looking at you, missing moments from the Ishida family) and sob like Rose's guitar at more than a few tragic moments.
