There’s a bleach dating sim ?

No one wishes there was one more than me, but no lmao.

There was a post about a project dubbed BleachAPRIL yesterday that linked back to a little preview video on the Bleach site, using the delinquent high school art Kubo made for JET and making a game with it. I think people calling it a dating sim weren't thinking it was like a true otome or anything but more a simping game (ala Hypnosis Mic and other games that revolve around attractive anime guys but don't involve actual dating).

The game itself was an April Fool's jokes, which is very fun and I hope they do AU jokes every year. I will gladly be an April Fool for a fake Bleach game any year, every year.

But also kind sad it won't exist!!! Bleach games that dare to be more than rehashes of the main plot are rare! Really the only one I remember is The 3rd Phantom (which brought all the drama a teenager could ask for, really).

#me seeing someone in discord say it was an april's fool thing barreling toward remembering that Japan does in fact skew a day early #and going 'noooooooooo i thought it was ridiculous but i wanted it to EXIST'#imagining Shunsui rolling up introducing himself as a Senior while looking like a man fully burnt out from the salary man circuit #and now attempting to LARP as a highschool student because the naps on the roof are truly healing #i remember replaying the third phantom so often when it came out #when they introduced Shinji in Turn Back The Pendulum I was like 'lmao not MY 5th division captain'#3rd phantom was Kubo's warm up for that arc #i just looked up the dates they came out and literally Summer of 2008 for the game and Winter of 2008 for the manga arc #LITERALLY a warm up #2009 was really the year of fun shonen games #for me at least #that’s when I discovered #Inuyasha and the Secret of the Cursed mask #so it was a stacked year of OCs in established show video games #queue
