The eighth season of the Bleach anime series is named the Arrancar: The Fierce Fight 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 29th through 32nd volumes of the manga over sixteen episodes. The plot of the episodes centers on Ichigo Kurosaki's and his friends' battle against the Espada, the strongest members of former Soul Reaper captain Sōsuke Aizen's army, to save Orihime Inoue.

The season began airing on December 12, 2007 in Japan on TV Tokyo and ended on April 16, 2008.[2] The English adaptation of the Bleach anime is licensed by Viz Media,[1] which has yet to announce when the series will air. Four DVD compilations, each containing four episodes of the season, were released by Aniplex between May 28, 2008 and August 27, 2008 in Japan.[3][4]

Three pieces of theme music are used for the episodes: one opening theme and two closing themes. The opening theme is "After Dark" by Asian Kung-Fu Generation. The first closing theme is J-pop singer Kousuke Atari's "Tane wo maku hibi" (種をまく日々, lit. Seed-scattering days), which switches in episode 154 to "Kansha." (感謝。, lit. Gratitude.) by RSP. To promote the second Bleach featured film, Bleach: The DiamondDust Rebellion, the opening and closing credits for episode 152 to 154 use footage from the film, which was released on December 22, 2007.[1][5]
