| Kubo Tite just announced in an interview at Jump Festa that Bleach is only halfway through it's story and it'll keep going for at least another 10 years if it depends on him. I think it's about time all the haters stop reading Bleach, it'd be bad to hate it for another 10 years, wouldn't it? Source: http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2010/12/19/tite-kubo-ill-keep-bleach-going-for-at-least-10-years/ |
 |
| Maybe in this amount of time Bleach will develop a better storyline then Aizen plothax. Anyway I don't really ever hate on bleach, it has been one of my favorite mangas and animes for the past 6 years and i'm glad to see it go on for another 10. It will give me stuff to do each week. |
 |
| Lol..... I wonder what he'll do to keep the story line interesting enough for it to sell for 10 more years. |
| A while ago i read that Kubo was only doing 2 more arcs. Meh... Anyway, i'm happy i guess. Hopefully he can shake it up a bit now that Aizen is out of the picture.....Unless he ubertrolls us and has him break out stupidly early. Oh and the series needs more Tatsuki. |
 |
| Its already been 6 years? FML like seriously lulz. God damn another 10 years. Are they trying to beat DBZ or something? Oh well, i know for sure my cousin is happy cuz he is an otaku for Bleach (idiot buys bleach and bleaches the clothes that have Bleach on them) I don't necessarily complain about Shonen manga/anime because its doing its job: entertaining kids+other ages.... Hell I've watched it while I was growing up along with One Piece and Naruto, yet I still watch them all, just that lately I haven't bothered to keep up with them all because of consistent fillers and realizing that I can use my time more wisely on video games, music, and watching/reading different manga/anime. |

That interview is often misinterpreted.. WHat he said back then was that he has already planned out on how the next two arcs will go. The first, shorter of those two arcs is the current arc. Then there will be another longer arc. He did not say that its the last story arcs ever ;) |

Fai said: I smell filler along the way adding an additional 150+ chapters. You present a reasonable perspective of the way Shonen works. Yeah the way to keep a meta-series like this dragging is the poke at as much detail as possible and drag those details out like a train track. The art of making a different universe. The most ridiculously expanded series of any animation of all time has got to be Marvel and DC comics hands-down. I get so lost when my dad tries to explain it to me and often points out that the Hollywood interpretations are way off most of the time (especially X-Men)Bleach has surprisingly many plotpoints that can be used.

|
| lol if only Kubo makes each chapter of Bleach worthwhile to read then i approve of his 10 more year plan |
| I was surprised but with Tite's pacing I really shouldn't be. The Karakura town arc alone was around 100 chapters, I guess the whole getting his powers and facing the spirit king could take 400 chapters with that pace. The thing that I'm worried about is the power levels... The zero squad can't be that overpowered. Though I'm guessing that's why Tite kept most captain's bankai hidden, so he could feign some sort of normality when he unleashed them saying "we've always been this powerful, we just held back because we didn't want to kill anyone >>" Anyway... wow. 10 more years.

I get so lost when my dad tries to explain it to me and often points out that the Hollywood interpretations are way off most of the time (especially X-Men) I was genuinely overwhelmed when I jumped into the DC universe, the amount of spin offs and tie ins are insane. I see that Marvel is quite a bit worse for it, though, which is what's keeping me away from it. Though saying that, it's an incredible universe, and greatly satisfying once you jump in and start understanding. |
| wow .. the HORROR... since the selling are constantly dropping i dont see anyone caring about the manga in the future.. an ordinary mangaka with a normal pace would've finished this in 1-2 years ( all the other secrets that remained undiscovered in bleach) but oh well..its KUBO |
| Anyone else think he is only doing this because of Oda-sensei? He announced One Piece would last another 10 years, so Kubo wants to match him. He is just trying to hang onto this series even though it is past its best. At least Oda-sensei planned out his story long in advance and has an ending planned. Kubo is winging it most the time (hence the plotholes and ridiculously long arcs full of fights) 10 more years of hit-miss chapters? No thanks. Just let it die already. My fiance was a massive Bleach fan but he is getting pissed off with the ridiculous stuff that is happening now. |
 Check out SunnyCon! The North-East of England's newest and biggest convention of anime, manga and Japanese culture! Now a club on MAL too! |
| ^rofl no xD he prolly just doesnt want to start a new series... he's just gonna drag this out till the end |

| Goodness, I'll have to spend so much money on even more volumes. Joy. |
| You know whats my view on the joy of a series ending? Its not the joy of it being bad, its the joy that you've survived through it! It's not about being a hater, never was and never should be. Its about appreciating the hard work they put into it. When I finished the entire Dragon Ball series, I was sad. But now im overjoyed that I finished it. I just finished Code Geass series and I'm glad I watched it, no regrets. Bleach,One Piece, and Naruto I'm up to date with it and I just watch it out of habit. But when its all over I'll be glad to watch it all. I guess you can say im a devoted fan. :) |
|
| Oh boy. I was glad when I heard the same about being halfway through the series from Oda some time ago, but hearing it from Kubo as well? Don't want. Just end Bleach in the next 2 years as previously promised. |

My fiance was a massive Bleach fan but he is getting pissed off with the ridiculous stuff that is happening now. This. Firstly, Oda announces a time skip in One Piece, shortly awterwards Kubo Tite presents a time skip in Bleach. Secondly, Tite claims that the story will last at least 10 years more, which Oda has told before as well. Whatever the truth, it looks like Tite tries to follow Oda, and while the story of One Piece is very complex and every new chapter shows that the author has planned every detail very carefully, the time-skip events Tite presented in Bleach look to me like something totally unplanned, story made in a hurry. I was a Bleach fan as well, until it became nothing more than pages with 1 or 2 drawings and useless chit-chats such as: Ichigo: I shall defeat you with my new superpower, Aizen! Aizen: You cannot defeat me with your new superpower, Ichigo, because I'm invicible! Ichigo: I will win! Aizen: No, I will win! Ichigo: I am stronger! Aizen: No, I am stronger! *Ichigo transforms into Alucard* Not that I'm a Bleach hater now. I just stopped finding it exciting and interesting, like I was finding it in the beginning, so I have dropped it recently. |

| ok, im gonna b a little blunt here but....IF U DONT LIKE THE SERIES DONT WATCH IT!!!!!! IF U DONT WATCH IT THEN IT DOESNT CONCERN U AND U HAVE NO REASON TO COMPLAIN!!!!! god people......KUBO IS NOT PERFECT! everybodys just complaining cuz ichigo went all fgt on aizen then it went back to this normal arc but this arc is just beginning and yes i know its already been goin on for about 2 months but this is bleach people.....its just the way it works and btw soul society, vizards, those fake soul people (the ones like kon), and mayb one more that i cant think of all started out as bad guys then ended up becoming allies. i wouldnt be suprised if this was gonna happen with these people. and in my opinion this arc was not just made in a hurry cuz it finally explained orihimes and mayb chads powers. although i do remember some one saying chads powers were like a hollows way back wen.....o well another thought just popped into my head (i swear ill stop after this) ichigos look has changed so much in the past decade or so....i wonder wat he will look like in 10 years? |

And god knows what else we will find out that can be developed into plotlines I doubt we'll see many of those points expanded without the use of heavy filler. Mayuri's anger at Ichigo + Isshin's backstory + Ichigo's family history = One arc. Royal guards = Zero squad + Soul king = One arc. Quincies VS Shinigami 2 with Ichigo and Ishida at the center of conflict. Right, 2 Quincies versus the whole of SS.....No one wants an arc out of that. I do recall KT wanting to do an arc involving Kenpachi's backstory in detail though. That would be interesting. He might even be holding off him getting to know his sword better for such an arc. |
| 10 years, wow. Is this another troll from? Does Kubo actually know what we say on the internet? Bleach should have ended right after the Aizen fight. What he could have done is end the story right there, cut your losses and switch over to another turn back the pendulum arc, finish it after explaining some background (no pun intended) and switch over to an epilogue chapter with ichigo. Oh Kubo, you will always be apart of our lives. We'll never forget bleach no matter how hard we try. Especially after The Hear |
| . |
| Damn I'm 24 (or I will be next month) now that means I'll be 34 by time bleach ends... I think 30+ is to old to still be reading manga. |

Memphi said: and somehow you feel the need to read discusions about bleach.. thats just too sadI've stopped watching Bleach 2 years ago. Got up to 205th episode and will never ever come back to it. The anime is is just totally dire, howver manga just keeps getting worse as welll.... i think you must not read too deep in mayuri's "anger" at ichigo, mayuri is always bitching at almost everyone, it's just a running gag |

| I think that too, Mayuri is just an angry fellow who wants to experiment with beings, if anything he'd be mad at Ishida because he wants to experiment on him, and if there were more than 2 quincy, another war would be interesting. Though we all know that so far quincy have been shown as fodder. Even though all the plot points remaining could be tied up in 100-200 chapters (not including random plot points introduced by forcefully introducing new characters), we're looking at Tite's pace here. He has pretty slow pacing, the only one manga that has worse pacing than this is Dogs Bullets and Carnage. |
| Yay more bleach roughly 470 chapters of random power up levels, Ichigo getting stabbed in the chest, no one revealing their Bankai ever, Ichigo allies getting worfed and very very sloooooooooooooow pacing. Perhaps we'll get 5-8 arc. REJOICE!!!! |
| I'm actually quite excited for Bleach to last enough 10 years. I want to see how Tite Kubo will plan this out. :D & All of you, shouldn't really talk. He wants to finish Bleach, it's his dream. So let him finish it the way he wants too, and if you don't want to let him do that. Then stop reading it, stop watching it. It's not that hard, you must like it to some extent, if you can't just drop it. you all seem to piss me off, cause you don't know what he does in his time. Maybe something is always happening in his life, that he can't think while doing his work. or maybe he actually has a life outside of drawing Bleach. Don't get mad at him, because his dialogue, or drawings don't fit your criteria. end of rant. :D |
 |
| "Plan this out" there's no plan, silly, he makes it up as he goes along. If he can't think whilst doing his work then he really shouldn't be in the manga writing business, it's a hard job full of deadlines and criticism, I'm sure he knew that before he went in. Manga writing doesn't really allow a life, unless you're like Muira or Togashi. It's not getting mad at him either, it's merely criticising his lack of backgrounds and poor "plot", constructive criticism is great. |
| Damn, I'll be 30 by the time it ends! 0_o |

Syb3rStrife said: Damn, I'll be 30 by the time it ends! 0_o Me too o_O And I was really hoping that it will end after the Aizen arc, I was so naive... |
| The manga might go on for 10 more years but, bleach the anime could end with ichigo defeating aizen that would be an alright anime ending who knows |

| 10 YEARS?!!!! yes! more pointless power ups, needless characters, senseless brain dead fights and a plot that drags on for 300+ chapters! could it get any better than this? |
| "Where will a newborn go from here? The net is vast and infinite" - Motoko Kusanagi |
| Well, putting aside the reason for expanding another storyline, I'm not against a few years more of Bleach. Would be even fun to read it when there's nothing else to do in the meantime. But the anime is different. I really would like it to end with Ichigo defeating Aizen. Maybe just for taking a deep breath. The quality of anime also dropped incredibly and I wish it would be as good as it was years ago. Not story 'cause I appreciate the fact they hold on to the manga storyline (fillers are ridiculous), but those small technical characteristics. And I think it can be interesting if Kubo makes some effort in writing new chapters. Oh, where are those days when I was doing nothing but watching Bleach without breath... |
| I love Bleach! and im a huge fan!! but 10 years?! :O I think about 5-7 would be better..>.< idk Im happy it aint ending really soon!! :D |
"Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark" |

| I seriously don't get it, Bleach sucked ever since the Arrancars appeared, just let it go Kubo, your manga sucks. Also, it's funny how fans can't distinguish a good manga from a bad one. |

| I strongly doubt Bleach will keep going for at least another 10 years, unless Kubo manages to rise in the rankings. This week, it was in the bottom four, and it's been progressively dropping for weeks now. He's got tankobon sales to fall back on, sure, but for how long will this continue? Jump #30 (04/07): ST&RS (New Series, Cover & Lead Color, 54 pg.) One Piece Toriko Beelzebub (Color Page, Results Popularity Contest) Bakuman Naruto Gintama Reborn! Kochikame (Color Page, 35th Year Special Project) Hanasaka Ikkyu Magico Sket Dance Nurarihyon no Mago (Color Page) Medaka Box Kuroko no Basket Inumarudashi Bleach Enigma Sengoku Armors Meruhen Ouji Grimm Anyway, Toriko has replaced Bleach's position in the Big 3, it seems. |
Jouten said: Maybe in this amount of time Bleach will develop a better storyline then Aizen plothax. Anyway I don't really ever hate on bleach, it has been one of my favorite mangas and animes for the past 6 years and i'm glad to see it go on for another 10. It will give me stuff to do each week. I'd like to agree with you, but Bleach so far has only gotten worse with time. Why should another 10 years be any different? |

backa91 said: So the way I see it is Kubo has just released Volume 49 as the first of the second "half" of the series. Is his plan just as simple as wanting to reach and finish off at volume 100? It's also been 10 years since the series started, so another 10 would be approximately doubling the length. Anyone who says there's nothing left to explore in Bleach is just not paying attention, btw. If you haven't realized by now, characterisation and artwork are very important, if not the most important parts, in the Bleach universe. Kubo has announced publically that he doesn't consider himself good at stories and plot, but no-one can deny that his art is fantastic and his characters are well thought-out (although admittedly not all of them are brilliant, but those characters don't usually have much screentime... but of course that couldn't possibly be intentional by Kubo, could it?). And I'd even disagree with people who claim he's winging the entire series, since how often do things happen and then remain unexplained until much, much later - like Chad's powers, for instance. Personally, i think the only thing I would change about Bleach is to make it move a little quicker, but that being said i'd prefer art over pace for this series. In any case, I'm really glad that it's going to keep going for another 10. I've been watching and reading it since about 5 years ago, and have quite honestly loved it. By far my favourite anime show, closely followed by other greats Cowboy Bebop and Haruhi Suzumiya (all of which show extremely subtle skill beyond the face value level, if you think for a second about what's really going on). I'd applaud Kubo any day of the week for his efforts and what i'd call a great achievement Did you really just put Bleach in the same league as Cowboy Bebop?! No. Just no. |
|
| I don't think so, it has 2 years left at most. |
| I was hoping it'd finish this year but then it got dragged out with these fodder battles throughout the entire year. I hope it ends next year but I dunno if that'll happen. |

Birimbau said: Well he said it in 2010, and it's almost 2015. Almost 50% of his promise is complete. Even so, it's hard to believe that bleach will last 5 more years. I'll give a 1 - 2 years range until the end, probably on its 15th anniversary in 2016. with the super slow pacing its going i doubt it will end on 2016, but it might announce the ending timeline on 2016 though i hope |
