Will you miss the Bleach anime?
| http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2012/02/23/magazine-reports-bleach-anime-ending-on-march-27th Bleach might be ending on March 27th?! Bleach's animation director also twittered this image. It seems according to Wikipedia's list of episodes -- Updates -- http://cal.syoboi.jp/tid/491 If you scroll down all the way to April 3rd, the schedule shows that Episode #367 is on TV Osaka. Rumors say that the previous announcement was for TV Tokyo ending their 6pm slot for Bleach, but other channels will still be carrying it. [as heard from onemanga.com] Still waiting for more official news from crunchy roll or ANN. -- Updates -- GrayArchon said: That listing is an error, someone miscounted when adding placeholders for the TV Osaka broadcasts of Bleach. As the small text at the bottom of the page translates to: "All data are entered manually, you may incorrect information has been registered. Requests for correction of the data from the bulletin board. Opinions and requests and bug reports from the report page." If that's insufficient to convince you, Hiroki Takagi, one of the animation directors for Bleach (the one mentioned by the original article) answered some questions on twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/takawokukuru/status/174748782204956672 https://twitter.com/#!/takawokukuru/status/174761553785135104 https://twitter.com/#!/takawokukuru/status/175463563295596544 https://twitter.com/#!/takawokukuru/status/176546153813385216 https://twitter.com/#!/takawokukuru/status/176574153950887936 https://twitter.com/#!/takawokukuru/status/176583483379027969 whitetear said: By the way I'll also add that it says in Japanese in Takagi's Twitter Bio that Bleach has ended: しがないアニメ自営業。専門は絵コンテ、演出、原画など。アニメブリーチの作業は終了しました。お仕事募集中。プチネットウヨクなので取扱要注意。 |

| I don't want them to end Bleach so suddenly! As long as they don't put in fillers it was going fine. |
| Well thats odd for them to cut the anime off while the manga is still going on. Maybe they'll release a new show that will last 25 episodes and cover the last Bleach manga arc? |
| Just look at how big the arancar saga was, it covered nearly 2/3 of the series, about 200 episodes and was the bulk of the anime. In fact this new arc just started in the manga and i have to say it looks pretty interesting, its completely new and refreshing. Though i am glad he isn't ending his story with aizen, because it just wouldn't make sense, their is so many plot holes in the story right now of the first anime, this really gives him time to elaborate and explore the bleach universe alot more, many questions remain like "who is the spirit king" "where do these other realms dwell, besides the soul society", "what is the origins of orihime and the state of her unusual time bending power", "how is ichigo's family connected to all this and what is the birth place of his family" it just wouldn't feel complete, so this new story is going to be something i guess for bleach fans to look forward to in the manga to help feel in all of the plot holes left behind. So its no surprise that this latest arc is going to probably be like another 2 years worth of material. So i guess thats when the production team decided to just cut off the first series where its at and it will probably remain on hiatus for a long time until a new adaptation is adapted from the 2nd part of the manga story line, kind of like shipuuden from naruto. To me its just pretty shocking though, to think all these years, bleach has ran for what, like 12 years now? and all the sudden, BAM its finished. The 2nd of the "BIG 3" to actually officially conclude its first part. Including naruto of course. That is naruto is already on its 2nd part of the manga, but we don't know yet if kishimoto plans on this latest arc to be the final, many people are speculating that it is the last arc and i think so to cause everything is kind of coming to a climax, so it might just be a matter of time before the first series of the big 3 to actually finish the story completely. I for one hope, they continue on with naruto, its a great show they can expand the universe of the naruto story line. One piece will probably be the last, i can see that lol. Its just nuts though, after all these years, these huge series are finally seeing some closure. I guess now is a good time as any to get your shonen fix done. After i finish hitman reborn, i'll probably end up watching bleach after and then i can finally mark a "complete" status in that anime. By that time, naruto will probably be almost finished so then ill watch that next. |

| I pretty much suspect they'll bring back the anime once the manga completes. DO people really want another filler arc with already so much of them? I don't, honestly. The manga entered its final arc, so let's have patience and just see what happens. |
Tomislavr7 said: Yeah, I agree, the ~310th episode might have been a better place for a break if they intended it anyways, but the Bleach story is far from done... There're many things that are left to be said and are (hopefully) gonna be explained in the last Bleach arc that has just started... I'm pretty sure it won't be disappointing... I think going on a break after the fullbring arc is finished might be good because fillers can get boring... If there's a break after that, I'll be eagerly waiting for the continuation... Yes, Bleach is an anime I've('m) grown(ing) up with, as well... Anyways, were there some other confirmations or denials of Bleach stopping after episode 366? Exactly. They shoulda ended the first part at Aizen and concluded it with Ichigo losing his powers. Then after the manga finishes, start a second part with Ichigo trying to get his powers back. I, for one, wish for a longer story. Bleach is my favorite one out of the three mainstream shounens. |

I agree. I still can't believe they are ending it so freakin soon! There BETTER be more episodes later! (God dang OP and Naruto are still going! and Bleach was the best one of the 3! DX) |
"Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark" |
| Manga is still going. It's not the end of the world people! I'm glad they are ending it now rather than have a sh*t ton of fillers. And who knows, maybe they'll do what Gintama did and wait a year, then create Bleach 2. At this point Bleach is so close to catching up to the manga it only makes sense to end it. |
| It seems so odd a place to stop, being the last arc and all. And once it stops in April, will Bleach still have enough going for it to animate the last arc? I don't want it to become an OVA or movie.. And with all the initial hype about Kubo wanting 10 more years of Bleach a few years ago, it's as if the higher-ups pulled the plug and decided Bleach was done. That Bleach was done (anime and manga) came as a huge surprise this year, especially some band (was it Aqua Timez saying their ED was the last for Bleach?) leaking that news in January. (or i could be wrong about that ED thing, haven't managed to find that source i saw last time) |

| They should have ended it awhile ago and handled the series like Bakuman. Bleach always catches up to the manga in no time. |
| BLEACH WILL END AT EPISODE 366. |
| I am glad it's ending...now I can stop hearing about it all of the time x.x |

| Wow just saw the final ep count. Im amazed, its ending now. I hope they continue it. |
| I hope they are just taking a break so they don't have to add filler; because while Bleach has had its ups and downs (more down as of late) it still should have a complete ending when the final manga arc ends. |
 |
| It's not ending at 266, it's ending in it's current time slot at the time. 267 is set to air April 3rd. This is what happens when people can't properly translate the language. Lol. |

AnimeFtw1 said: Manga is so boring to read. Why must all the good on-going shows stop airing and have the manga still running? KHR/Bleach/D.grayman/Deadman/many more... i would rather say its pain in the ass than 'boring' but yep |

If this is correct then that is just awesome! I don't care if Bleach ends up in filler for awhile, at least it will still be around. |

| The timing of the end of bleach is perfect, I've watched it since the first episode premiered and I am glad that it had to die with this arc. It will be missed but aren't all anime that we've watched would be. |
 |
| Wow! I started watching this about a few months ago, and im caught up now! What an amazing show! (Except for the princess arc and the random filler episodes, they were terribly annoying..) I'm glad it's ending but I wish I could I always see one of those badass moments where he comes back from defeat and owns his opponent in a fight! What an adventure haha! |
| Actually, episode 367 is going to be aired on TV Osaka April 3 and its title is "Goodbye to Xcution" which mean that episode is going to be the end of the Xcution arc. TV Tokyo won't release it, but TV Osaka will so IMO they just switched to another channel. There are rumors that there's going to be another a new channel that will broadcast Bleach and some other animes which TV Tokyo cancelled. Also, the newspapres says that Bleach is going to an end at 27th march on TV Tokyo (and only on TV Tokyo). That ep 366 is going to be the last one on THEIR channel. They never said Bleach is done or anything like that. It's too famous anime to shut it down, they earn too much money from it. |
 |
| oh well there goes my wish, putting Bleach in my "complete" list.... |
| Well I don't think Bleach is fully gone. Bleach makes too much money for them to simply all out cancel it. I think there is likely to be a very long (couple of years maybe?) break and then they will maybe animate whatever is left of the manga in a separate series (Naruto Shippuden style?). It makes sense when I think about it... the anime is so close to the manga at the moment, it would just end up being in filler for years if it carried on, this would cause the ratings to go down. The alternative I suppose would be to break off from the manga and have an anime only ending but I don't think that would go down well with most Bleach fans. |

The alternative I suppose would be to break off from the manga and have an anime only ending but I don't think that would go down well with most Bleach fans. Exactly my thoughts. I hardly think Bleach is going to finish just like that. Instead of giving us a huge long filler arc(Like the bount arc) which could end up being a total failure and be a waste, they are going to "end" Bleach and take it off air but then once they are reasonably ahead or finished with the manga I guarantee you we will be seeing Bleach rise again. I mean why would you just make an anime with over 300+ episodes, decently popular and right when you get to the FINAL ARC just cut it off? Wouldn't make sense. This is going to be a LONG arc though, from what I hear it's going to be even longer then the arancar arc. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |

| It's not ending guys, probably won't even have a long break. Just crappy fillers:P But we will see |
Gazandoom said: Looks like I have to read the manga now, for all those years I have purposely not read it because I didn`t want to spoilers in the anime... Damn! if this is indeed true, this guy sums up my sentiments exactly |
| Wow, Gray, I'd read one of those tweets (reply to Juan that it won't play on other networks) but you've got a big collection of tweets there! By the way I'll also add that it says in Japanese in Takagi's Twitter Bio that Bleach has ended: しがないアニメ自営業。専門は絵コンテ、演出、原画など。アニメブリーチの作業は終了しました。お仕事募集中。プチネットウヨクなので取扱要注意。 The bolded part: "Production of Bleach has terminated." |
| The anime really caught up with the manga. I dont like the idea of watching fillers for a whole year(or more) untill the actual story progresses. I personally think that thats the reason they are ending it now, and that there will probably be a new season after a while. |

I don't usually mind fillers all that much, but Bleach has gotten to the point that there are simply too much of them. |
