Bleach Gets a Brand-New Hindi Dub Cast From Episode 52
Ani-One India announced a brand-new Hindi dub cast for Bleach starting Episode 52, replacing the voice cast that drew widespread fan criticism.
What Happened
Ani-One India announced on February 24, 2026 that Bleach will receive a completely new Hindi dub starting from Episode 52, with a new dubbing studio and an entirely new voice cast.
The Backstory
The original Bleach Hindi dub (Episodes 1-51, released on MX Player) faced widespread criticism from Indian anime fans. Viewers across Reddit, X/Twitter, and YouTube called out the voice performances as flat, mispronounced, and out of sync with the show's tone.
Ani-One India heard the feedback and responded with action instead of silence.
What Is Changing
Episodes 1–51: Original Hindi dub remains as-is and will NOT be redubbed
Episode 52 onward: Completely new dubbing studio and new voice cast
Episode 52 marks the beginning of Season 2 the Soul Society: The Rescue arc
No release date has been announced yet for when the new dub begins streaming
Why This Matters
This is one of the first times an Indian anime distributor has responded to quality criticism by replacing a dub cast mid-series. It signals that Indian fans now have real influence over how anime is localized for the country.
