Crunchyroll has announced on its bulletin board that it has acquired the rights to subtitle the opening and ending themes for Bleach. Select episodes will have English lyrics posted in lieu of subtitles on the episodes. The issue with subtitling the opening and ending themes lies with music rights, which are more restrictive in terms of translation permissions and usually held by another company.
