Source-derived summary

The seventh season of the Bleach anime series is named the Arrancar: The Hueco Mundo Sneak Entry arc (破面・虚圏 潜入篇, Arankaru Weko Mundo Sennyū Hen). In the English adaptation of the anime released by Viz Media, the title of the season is translated as The Hueco Mundo. The episodes are directed by Noriyuki Abe, and produced by TV Tokyo, Dentsu, and Studio Pierrot. The season adapts Tite Kubo's Bleach manga series from the rest of the 26th volume to the 28th volume (chapters 229–251), with the exception of episodes 132–137 (filler) and 147–149 (canon expansion). The season follows Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends heading to Hueco Mundo on a journey to save Orihime Inoue, when she was kidnapped by the Arrancar under the command of Sousuke Aizen. Although a small story arc focused on the character Ashido Kanō was not featured in the manga as was originally intended due to timing issues, Kubo helped the anime staff produce the episodes for it.

The season aired from July to December 2007. The English adaptation of the Bleach anime is licensed by Viz Media, and the season aired from July to September 2009 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim in the United States. Five DVD compilations, each containing four episodes of the season, were released by Aniplex between December 19, 2007, and April 23, 2008, in Japan. While Viz Media released a single DVD volume on September 21, 2010, featuring the season's first episodes, the entire season has only been released within others DVDs.
