KLab\u2019s smartphone RPG “Bleach: Brave Souls “<\/a>celebrates its fifth anniversary today (23th June) with a bunch of celebratory events. Based on the popular anime and manga series \u201cBLEACH,\u201d<\/a> the game is a 3D action RPG, which allows players to experience various original stories with \u201cBLEACH\u201d characters and allows you to form guilds with other players.<\/p>\n

The game has recently opened the All Asia server, which supports multiple languages including English, Thai and Traditional Chinese. QooApp is honored to have a chat with the game\u2019s producer Jun Morimoto (\u68ee\u672c \u96bc) as he shared his thoughts about the fifth-year milestones and future plans for Bleach: Brave Souls.\u201d<\/p>\n

Q: Congratulations to \u201cBleach: Brave Souls\u201d for the fifth Anniversary! Mr. Morimoto, can you share your comments on this milestone since the game launched on 23rd July 2015?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It seems long, but it was a short 5 years. The mobile game industry is so competitive that there are many high quality works released every year. We are grateful for the continuous support of the \u201cBLEACH\u201d fans and players from all over the world, which keeps us improving the operation of the game.<\/p>\n

Q: What are the most impressive moments throughout these five years?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are so many things I was happy about and I can’t really focus on one. Beyond the context of the TV anime, it was exciting for the game to collaborate with the movies, the novel and The Thousand Year Blood War arc. It was also a pleasure to hold different events, such as the annual \u201cBleach: Brave Souls Bankai Livestream,\u201d which gives a rare opportunity to fans to interact with the anime\u2019s voice actors.<\/p>\n

I still remembered the day when we held the 2nd-anniversary campaign for the game on 23rd July 2017. Though we had prepared in advance, the user access was way higher than expected, causing a communication error with the server. Since then, the operation team works hard everyday to improve the server and the game system, in order to prevent the issues of that day from happening again.<\/p>\n

Q: What were the most popular events in the game last year?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTHE Alternate Rebirth\u201d event that collaborated with the \u201cBLEACH\u201d novels was indeed very popular. The event series featured an original story supervised by \u201cBleach: Spirits Are Forever With You\u201d novelist Ry\u014dgo Narita (\u6210\u7530 \u826f\u609f). The event also featured an original sub-story and I am glad that people enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

Q: We are very excited about the \u201cBrave Souls 5th Anniversary Celebration\u201d Campaign. Can you introduce what events we can expect this year?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have prepared a lot of events for players to enjoy the game during the annual anniversary campaign.<\/p>\n

Like the past years, we have prepared a special Summons and quests for players to obtain limited edition characters. Also, in order to thank players for their continuous support, there will be special quests and login bonus campaigns giving away free Summons and abundant rewards.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Q: Which parts of the \u201cBrave Souls 5th anniversary Celebration\u201d Campaign do you recommend the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apart from the free Summons and rewards giveaway, the \u201c5th Anniversary Celebration\u201d Campaign also features a special event story that we hope players will find entertaining.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Bleach: Brave Souls 5th Anniversary Bankai Live Stream aired on 19th July 2020. The livestream featured a special game corner for players around the world to interact with the cast members from the \u201cBLEACH\u201d anime. The video has been uploaded to our archive, please don\u2019t forget to check it out! (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=G6IZ_qu6ZLc<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A special campaign giving away 555 original goods will also be held on the official Twitter, where players have the opportunity of getting the game\u2019s original bomber jackets and a bunch of \u201cBLEACH\u201d goods until 29th July.<\/p>\n
