Studio Pierrot has gained a lot of experience over the years. In May of 1979, under Yuji Nunokawa, the studio was established, and Pierrot has since managed several significant series in the field. From Naruto to Bleach and Black Clover, Pierrot requires no introduction. With a new report, it has been revealed that the studio is launching a new division that aims to imitate studios similar to MAPPA Studios.
Yoshihiko Tominaga, an experienced producer in the industry, has revealed that Pierrot will be opening a new branch called Pierrot Films.
“This studio will work on shows based on manga for adults as well as original works. Our next season of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War is planned to be a Pierrot Films production,” the producer shared. “I think this is a title geared towards people who have watched Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and Jujutsu Kaisen, so I hope we can provide top-quality animation and stories in a short period of time while upping the studio’s brand power.”
Naturally, Studio Pierrot fans have been alerted by this update. The company has a lot of shows in its repertoire, but currently, it is managing fewer titles than usual. Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War is one of the studio’s major ongoing series, with other IPs like Kingdom supporting the franchise. Nevertheless, as Black Clover is on break, Pierrot is certainly keen on broadening its scope. If Pierrot Films can expand the range of productions, the experienced studio will be significantly improved.
Yoshihiko Tominaga, the producer, confirmed that Bleach is the initial project of 1st Pierrot Films. He mentioned that incorporating “Films” in English is suitable for Bleach and enhances the experience of improving animation. It is also a commemoration for the third cour because it focuses on their studio refreshing their mindset.
The following points are worth noting:
- Pierrot’s new division, Pierrot Films, is not just aiming but is dedicated to creating ‘extremely high-quality anime’ for Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War Part 3, ensuring a top-tier experience for its fans. Fans can expect a cinema-like experience in Season 3 of Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War, raising the production quality even higher.
- Following the success of Bleach, Studio Pierrot is transitioning to a seasonal format, which means that the studio will release its series in distinct seasons rather than continuously. This allows for better planning and higher production quality. Additionally, the studio is establishing a division specifically for top-tier anime, which will focus on creating anime with the highest quality standards.
Fans were thrilled to hear that Pierrot provided positive updates on the animation quality of season 3 of Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War, set to premiere on October 5, 2024. The follow-up installment has been applauded for its excellent animation, but the third part will elevate it even further.
During an interview with mensnonno, Yoshihiko Tominaga, the producer of Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War, primarily discussed his involvement in creating the comedy series Osomatsu-san and concluded by addressing the current trends in the anime industry and their adaptations.
In order to rival the numerous top-notch productions, Pierrot created a new division named Pierrot Films focused on creating anime of cinematic caliber. Fans can celebrate as the division will handle Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War Part 3 with even better production quality than previous seasons.
Bleach Season 3 Will Be A Cinema-Like Experience
Pierrot’s most successful series in a while is Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War, largely because of the high caliber of the show. After achieving success, the studio will transition several series, such as Boruto and Black Clover, to a seasonal schedule. The studio is going above and beyond by establishing a new department dedicated to producing higher quality anime than ever before, aiming to outshine its previous achievements and rival well-known studios like Ufotable and Mappa, who are responsible for creating highly successful works.
It is common for anime studios to have distinct departments for various anime projects. A separate section of Bones produces My Hero Academia. Sunrise has numerous divisions, with Studio Bind specifically established for animating Mushoku Tensei. Nevertheless, Pierrot’s latest expansion is ambitious as it contributes to revitalizing the studio’s production approach.
