| This is unexpectedly good. They need to reanimate Bleach in a few years, remove all the fillers, condense the the series into 100-150 episodes, remove lame jokes, make all the battle scenes look like the fight scene in this episode and end it with Rukia disappearing but leaving a much more sad feeling than they did. Then this series would be one of the best in the genre. On a side note, I was expecting Riruka to try to jump off the edge of the building and Orihime or Urahara grabbing her hand to save her.If Orihime saved her, she may be crying, but with a smile. Episode 9/10 Series overall 7.5/10 |
 |
| and So ends one of the big 3 which only leaves me with one left that's watchable 7/10 for a decent series still enjoying the manga far more and will continue to do so. |
 |
| Was still in disbelief once the words set the series as completed came up after 366 episodes this shit cray. But its more of a goodbye for now i would be shocked if they did not animate the final arc, still its sad to see bleach ending so many good memories from this anime. My favorite arc is still the pendulum arc, but this last one was good. Ending was good, now its time to catch up with the manga and read the final arc!!!!!!!! |
| I hope they don't bring in fillers. It would be better to end the anime 'for now' and re-animate it close to the end of the manga. 5/5 |

| this is more like one of those "goodbye for now" type of things, im sure the anime will be back for the final arc. |

| And with this, I quit crunchyroll. |
| Thoughts about Bleach as a whole: Started this about 6-8 years ago. One of the first shounen shows that I have watched. I was drawn in by quality animation in the fights, the badassery of some of the characters and surprising depth it gave to the smaller cast, namely Chad's and Orihime's. When we get to see Renji and Byakua, I was mindblown of the idea of a sword that was an actual person on the inside. Then we got to see more sides of Urahara and Tessai. A nice touch of added mystery to them. The soul society is still pretty damn good. Ichigo kicks ass, meets new people, gets shot out of a cannon to kick more ass and meet more new people. Everybody is separated into groups of two except Chad and Yoruichi. Ishida brings out the badass-inside himself not once but twice and even got a onetime only powerup, which sounded a lot like Ichigo's final Getsuga. Then we meet Kenpachi, my favorite character because of his sheer amount of badassery. And we again meet Ichigo's zanpakutou: Zangetsu. Its a shame that we meet him so little in the show and we never see Ichigo casually talking to him about something. It's always "I'm beat up and I need help." and "This hollow is trying to take me over!" Ichigo talks a few times how he understands his sword yet he never talks with him! This kind of pissed me off how this is never brought up. Ichigo learning bankai and beating Byakua with it, though he would have lost if the hollow inside him wouldn't have come out and get a few good shots on him. Then Aizen does a Bioware and pulls a twist out of his ass, which could have been predicted only by people with a telepathic distance away from Kubo. And that was the Soul Society arc, then we got filler, some story, filler, more story, filler between fights, story, filler and final story. The fillers of Bleach are surprisingly enjoyable. A few of them successfully take a part of the Bleachverse and make something interesting about it. The Bounto arc was a bit lacking though. I don't remember getting any strong emotions out of it. Same with Captain Amagai. I totally forgot about that guy. And there were a few shit one shot fillers like the cake-making episode...god. But The Zanpakutou rebellion and Gotei 13-invading force had some really good animation and took exciting new roads. And in the Zanpakutou arc, frigging Byakua gets to take out the second-in-command bad guy! Strength of Bleach lies in its fights and characters. Everything else in between was either boring or not worth noting. Like the long trip to Hueco Mundo. And never have I seen Bleach pull out something like One Piece, by having random bystanders yell out the obvious. Not saying that Bleach is better than OP, just pointing out what difference I have noted between them. One of the biggest problems of Bleach are some of the plot holes and abandonment of some of the characters. What happened to Grimmjow? And Neliel? Kon? How come no one says anything about Kurotsuchi killing off his subordinates? How could a society be based on being governed by 40 random wise men and never supervising their health or well-being? But luckily most of the plot holes aren't so bad or at least not as bothersome as others. I've seen plot holes so big you could ram your fist into. I hope when they finally animate the last arc, they put out a new show, not a collection of OVA's one by one, because 1. That's just blatant cashing and 2. OVA's usually last 50 minutes, I'll get bored watching them. I like the 24 minute runtime. Keeps things quick and clean. Tl;dr: Bleach was pretty good. Most of the fillers were good. Some were shit. Fights and the characters are the best part of Bleach. Weren't bothered by plot holes in this show. |

| I can't believe it ended either,I hope eventually the last arc gets animated cuz I wanna see Harrbel again :) |
 |
| it was pretty sad,even with the happy ending,it still sad. i believe we will see "Bleach:The Final Arc" in the future. |
| I´ll miss it, watching Bleach for a few years, letting it be a part of your routine. But everything has an end. |
| Great. Looking forward to next seasn/OVA/DVD of the last arc which was not included here. (And still ongoing in manga). I will be watching the series from start again, and skip all filler episodes before giving my last call on my rating on this series. I bet without fillers its pretty epic. And people from now on will be downloading torrents of this series without any fillers. |

| A more thorough review of the series ... I've followed Bleach for a very long time, started watching the dub as soon as it came across to the states, though I'd heard rumblings of its huge popularity when it was still a Japan-only phenomenon. I lost track of it during the Soul Society arc, only to come back years later and watch the whole thing subtitled (an overall superior experience, most definitely). I marathoned my way through Soul Society, Bount (which I found not too bad for filler; watching them straight through, I didn't notice much dip in quality from the manga stories), and then on into Arrancar and Hueco Mundo. Since the third battle with Grimmjow I've been following it week by week. There have been some awesome high points - most of the fights in Soul Society were amazing, Ichigo's battles with the Espada and Aizen were mind-blowing and even some of the filler battles managed to hit truly awesome peaks (especially the final battles of the zanpakuto and Reigai Invasion arcs). There were also some pretty lousy low points - namely the god-awful Sword Beasts arc, almost any of the one-shot fillers (let's make a movie! let's bake a cake!), and being forced to wait almost TWO WHOLE YEARS to finally see Ichigo/Ulquiorra due to fillers (that may be an exagerration, but it certainly felt that way). I know the series isn't truly over--the studios and Kubo have made far too much bank off this cash cow to let it die with one more arc still to be animated--but it'll still be a missed part of my Tuesday ritual. I look forward to the final storyline, and might decide to start following the manga again for a sneak preview. Though from what I've read I'm not too fond of Hanataro's new 'friend'. Bleach has actually been one of the few series that straddles the question of whether the manga or the anime is the better version, IMHO. The manga never really cut down on the blood and gore like the anime did after awhile, but occasionally that made the mutilations that magically disappeared seem rather jarring (how many people had arms/legs severed and then came back with all limbs intact the next arc?). On the other hand, a lot of scenes were actually done much better in the anime than in the manga, and the anime provided a lot of extra story and explanations that tended to be glossed over in the manga. Sleep well for now Ichigo; you've earned it. Mata ne :) |

| This is the first anime I started following. It's also the longest anime I've watched yet. I literally grew up with Bleach and it pains me that I'll have to miss this from now on. It hasn't always been that good, and boy did I hate the fillers... But still, I'm gonna miss everyone sooooo much and it'll be weird to not look forward to new episodes each week! It's been one hell of a ride. :( Hopefully they'll make a new series in the near future. |
| Finally a break from waiting for new episodes every week... |
 Are you the bloody applause monkey? Keep your sh*t comments to yourself or go troll on 4chan. |
| I am gonna miss this series.... |
 |
| Pretty much sure that they intend to animate the last arc of the manga once there'll be more material. I think stopping for now and wait for a year or two worth of material is a good idea. |
 |
| Awesome anime, 9/10 :D |
 |
| I can't believe it actually ended...at least for the time being hopefully. Kinda sad, never thought this day would actually come. = ( |
Transvoid said: Awesome anime, 9/10 :D Nice signature picture :o Bleach ended. With Persona 4 and Beelzebub I have nothing else to watch :( This is sad. For all the bad things about Bleach I enjoyed the sword fights, BANKAI and some even if undeveloped characters. Was fun :) |
| Wow ended, kinda has left me upset. Last episode was good but cmon he defeats gino so easily its not even cool but notice how he says see you again at the end of the anime does this mean the final act will be animated or not :/ Oh well manga here i come. |

Ichigo overpowered ginjo even without going bankai. even if he absorbed ichigo's fullbring and combined it with his bankai ginjo would still be weak compared to ichigo in bankai. |

UMB said: but still this arc ended sooo quickly, i'd prefer it if it could last 3 more episodes and ichigo's fight should be a longer one... TBH the fight was short in the manga. It had around 3-4 chapters on ichigo's fight and that's mainly because of the talking between him and ginjo when he was telling the truth. BuckNutt said: Ichigo actually did use his bankai. And the Captains beat everyone so easily because they are much stronger than they previously were. after so many years, i wouldn't recognize ichigo in bankai form? I knew that he used bankai. Ichigo could have defeated him without bankai. He only used it to assure a win. Like I said the fullbringers weren't that strong to begin with. Knowing the captains I knew they trained. I knew they were powering up while the fullbringers just sat and watch ichigo train and rely on their powers and power-ups when given a piece of ichigo's fullbring powers. It seemed they knew what to do with their powers but got overconfident against the captains. |

| It's been a long ride, Bleach. The fillers and dragged on fights lowered the quality of Bleach in my mind, even though I know they're necessary to keep the manga ahead and are a staple in long Shounen animes. The first arc was still the best in my mind and had some of the most inspiring fights in the show. I think they're doing the right thing by ending Bleach now before they'd have to air months of fillers. I do hope that the final arc is animated at some point after the manga is complete. Overall Bleach had a few very enjoyable episodes interspersed with a ton of crap. It still feels momentous to see one of the major 3 long-running animes end. |
 |
| Bleach is always in my heart, hope the final arc gets an animation, until then, let's head to the manga! Btw, incredible ending. |
 |
| NOOO now what will i do with my life now that bleach has finished might as well watch naruto PFFT hahah WHAT DO I DO WITH LIFE NOW |
| I have a feeling it will continue, though I hope they do it when the manga is close to finishing (knowing Kubo that will still be about 3 years or so). Though not a bad show but due to most of the fillers I can't give it any higher then a 6/10. |
| I am the bone of my sword. Steel is my body and fire is my blood. I have created over a thousand blades. Unknown to death, nor known to life. Have withstood pain to create many weapons. Yet those hands will never hold anything. So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works. |
| finally it ends, about time. it shouldve ended at the aizen arc, |
 hey hey, do you have smoked cheeze? Nyoro~n |
| I'm gonna guess and say that Kubo told them he wants the final arc to be super epic, and to wait for the manga so they can do it properly this time around, no fillers, no mistakes. |
 |
| hirako fringe is ...awry. bad, bad choice. i will miss bleach, thats obvious. im waiting for astonishing and amazing come back (and hirako visit good hairdresser) Many folk like to know beforehand what is to be set on the table; but those who have laboured to prepare the feast like to keep their secret; for wonder makes the words of praise louder. i'd say ^^ |
emily_zeek said: I can't believe Bleach ended. This is one of my weekly anime that I watch. I love Bleach and even the fillers I'm okay with. I wish Kubo would bring Neliel back. She's my favorite female character after Yoroichi. And was it just me or did Ukitate look really sick? I hope he doesn't die soon. I can't wait until Bleach starts airing again. 10/10 you might love the manga then :) I won't say anything else |
|
| Bleach pretty good ending fight scenes and characters were epic so I give it 10/10 |
    |
| Wow, I just can't believe Bleach ended :'( I feel so sad and empty. Bleach means so much for me. Bleach is my only anime I watch weekly. I watched Bleach last 3 years and I never get bored of watching. Amazing characters, good fights and good story( except fillers). I also enjoyed some fillers too. Anyway no anime can take the place of Bleach for me. I think ending was good enough. I love to see Hirako is captain again :D and other vizards too. Now I waiting last arc in animeted. Until second season I will read manga and if I have time I will watch Bleach again ( I missed soul society arc, it was amazing :D ) 10/10 |

| Its over..i can't believe it, after so many years, no matter how bad it got i still loved Bleach, its really sad to see it go, i can only hope it returns in a few years, Ichigo did say "mata ne".. As for the episode it was good, fight was shorter than expected but just shows how strong Ichigo is..pretty nice ending. 8/10 for the series. |

| Bleach shippuuden after break, huh? :P 6 out of 5: Loved it and gonna miss it! |
 top 3 anime: Code Geass | One Piece | Death Note |
| Fantastic ending episode. Overall this arc was surprisingly good in the anime. In the manga it was okay but the way they animated it made it surprisingly good. I was actually surprised with it because they ended the anime so they can complete the manga and come back with the anime once the manga is complete. The way it ended though gave me the same feeling as if I was actually watching it coming to an end and yet leaves me with that feeling that it isn't over yet. Fantastic! It's hard for me to see this anime coming to an end seeing as how it was the anime that actually got me into anime in the first place! Been watching it from around 5-6th grade all the way to now and I'm in college. Then of course they kind of hint to us that we'll be seeing Bleach again in the future as right in the last few seconds of the episode Ichigo says "See you again." Now it's time to read the manga! |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
