Until Bleach was canceled in 2012, watching weekly episodes of One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach was a regular occurrence. However, now that the four-episode special series of Naruto has been confirmed for September, fans can’t help but feel nostalgic about the golden era of the Shonen series.

While One Piece will air weekly episodes for quite a while, Bleach is ready to return with its second part of the TYBW arc on 8 July. The season will have 13 episodes and run till the last week of September. Finally, Naruto (Shinsaku Anime) will debut on 3 September and will run for four weeks. 

The details about the new Naruto anime have yet to be announced. Therefore, fans are unsure what the special series will cover and how relevant it will be to the main story. Nonetheless, dedicated fans worldwide are thrilled to see their beloved animes on screen.
