| It should end at the demise of Aizen. Drags too long imo. |
| Not a big deal to me but there are alot of die hard bleach fans that i'm sure will be upset its ending |
 |
So the arc will be like 9 years long. Oh god I hope it doesn't go that long.:P |
| I will give it 10 more years |

| "Justice Never Dies!" - Kenji Endou, 20th century Boys |
| Show in my opinion, peaked at the soul society arc. Might pick this one up once a definite end is in sight. The problem is, we don't know how long this last arc will last. Shounen manga arcs can last for years. |
| Theres still alot of questions to be answered so i hope thats what this arc is about |
| Get ready for a "QUALITY" ending. |

AdolChristin said: I never understood the hate this manga gets. If you don't like it, just don't read it. It's really simple. . I dislike Bleach very much right now, but the only reason I'm still reading it is because it's the manga that brought me to liking anime. Sentimental value... I guess. |
| So basically, about another two - three years left. |

| Then it ends on April 1st-- OOPS No way, right? April 1st is too close by. |

ichigo03 said: Bleach was the first ever anime/manga series I ever watched/read. It quickly became my favorite, I loved everything about the Bleach world. But....Bleach along with Naruto and OP are perfect examples of why manga has completely diminished nowadays. Publishers and mangaka care more about dragging a storyline than actually presenting a good and cohesive series. Let's look at great manga and how long they lasted: FMA: 27 Volumes Death Note: 12 Volumes Monster: 18 Volumes Hellsing: 10 Volumes Love Hina: 14 Volumes YES, it is very possible to do a great, cohesive, complete story without going into 40 or 50 volumes. Unfortunately, that's not what we're seeing from all the generic shounen out there. While it is true that a story can be completed without going into 40 or 50 volumes, it is not true that all stories can be, and you shouldn't go about spouting such an fallible argument. J.R.R. Tolkien completing the Lord of the Ring series in three volumes doesn't make Sir Arthur Conan Doyle a bad writer because The Sherlock Holmes series was completed in 12. What makes a person a bad writer is the decisions they make when writing something, and while no one is infallible when it comes to making those decisions, you shouldn't just throw a person into a conjecture without objective evaluation. It is as I said in the Negima thread, a series is only too long or too short when it goes past or falls short of its intended ending. One Piece has not done that, nor has Naruto for the matter. The only series you mentioned that did is the odd man out, Bleach, and that's because Kubo has made numerous bad decisions when it came to writing it. I'm not going to go into a rant about it here but I will provide one example. Instead of creating a whole new set of characters (the vaizards) to explain what Ichigo is, he should have used his already established character (Urahara) who was enough of an enigma for it to make sense that he had that sort of information. Had he done that, it wouldn't have been as much of a mess when the Aizen fight came along and you had both the Soul Society and The Vaizards fighting for some screen time. |
| I thought it was near the end already... Great! A few more years and we might actually finish this! |
| Sweet, I actually thought I might die before the whole series was completed. |

malar said: So many ppl complaining about the series based on reasons like character development and so forth, it's a freakin' shonen battle manga>>> the main character is suposed to be beaten, nerdrage, train then beat the bad guy with his new found awsomness. If that's the only thing you expect from a shonen battle manga, then you need to expand your horizons. |

Some people(Including me) think that the previous arc is one of the best this manga had, purely because of how much character development Ichigo and everyone got, others call it the "worst this manga ever had" .

If that's the only thing you expect from a shonen battle manga, then you need to expand your horizons. Thats the only thing you CAN expect from shounen manga. Main character will always be strongest, will always be beaten to train w ill always have traits that make him identifiable with a normal japanese person and will always mostly ignore romance plots. The main themes are also always the same. Just depends on how well author manages to intermingle them into plot. communiist said: Theres still alot of questions to be answered so i hope thats what this arc is about It is.

The main themes are also always the same. Just depends on how well author manages to intermingle them into plot. There's plenty of shounen romance, shounen sports and shounen slice-of-life. Shounen is only described as a target demographic, so there's a variety in terms of genres and plot, but not all shounen features the same genre or same plot, there's completely different each other. Also, there's plenty of shounen series featuring female protagonist (Claymore and Medaka Box are examples). Most of shounen romance are harem plots featuring either a poor guy surrounded by lot of girls or a plot featuring the same poor guy but he wants trying to date the cold and abrasive girl in a vanilla (one boy/one girl romance pairing) relationship and sometimes love triangle between one boy and two girls with different personnalities each other. Also, like I said, there's many shounen action series like Rurouni Kenshin or Inu Yasha when the male protagonist stays as a extremely (physically and/or mentally) strong fighter in the entire series (from the beginning to the end) and he isn't anything but special. |

So basically you want people who like it to be sad because it ends? Anyway, I think it's the right time to end the story. This arc will be probably be going for at least 5 years, in which Kubo can answer every question and close the story as he intended. And I thought I was the only one who thought everyone was being hateful yet reading it... <.< |

| The TV anime, filler notwithstanding, has been entertaining enough. I don't read the manga, but I'm glad to hear that he's at least planning to conclude it. I was hoping it would conclude at the end of the Arrancar arc, since it pretty much wrapped anything up, but I'm enjoying the new storyline. |
| About time I guess. Can't drop this now then, have gotten this far, might aswell stick to it xD |
