The sixth season of the Bleach anime series is named the Arrancar: The Arrival arc. The episodes are directed by Noriyuki Abe and produced by TV Tokyo, Dentsu, and Studio Pierrot.[1] They are based on Tite Kubo's Bleach manga series, and adapt the 21st through 25th volumes of the manga over twenty-two episodes. The episodes' plot centers on the burgeoning war between the Soul Reapers and the arrancar led by former Soul Reaper captain Sōsuke Aizen.
The season began airing on January 10, 2007 in Japan on TV Tokyo and ended on June 27, 2007. The English adaptation of the Bleach anime is licensed by Viz Media,[2] and began airing on Adult Swim on April 18, 2009 and ended on July 11, 2009. Five DVD compilations, each containing four episodes of the season, were released by Aniplex between June 27, 2007 and October 24, 2007.[3][4]
The episodes use four pieces of theme music: two opening themes and two ending themes. The opening themes are Yui's "Rolling Star", used for the first eleven episodes,[5] and the remainder of the episodes feature "Alones" by Aqua Timez.[6] The ending themes are Mai Hoshimura's "Cherry Blossom Weather" (桜日和, Sakura Biyori), used until episode 121,[5] and "Tiptoe" (爪先, Tsumasaki) by Ore Ska Band, used in the remainder of the episodes.[6]
