It's more surprising that Bleach lasted this long. The only thing it had going for it were somewhat okay-ish Volume sales. It has been consistently at the bottom of the rankings for months, if not years. Next things to axe (if you look at the rankings): Nisekoi, Toriko, Gintama. All kinda famous titles, so it will be interesting what the replacements will look like. |

I used to love Bleach but it's been garbage since the end of the soul society arc. I will be happy to see it end for the simple fact that it will (hopefully) be replaced by something else in the american WSJ. I want to get my money's worth. Now let's hope nisekoi, toriko and shit piece end soon as well.

At least Bleach got a full color chapter when it was at it's best (chapter 162, when ichigo went bankai for the first time) |

It's a shame this is getting axed (which is really the only way to view this), but this is what happens when you have some good ideas, but then can't plot out a complete story with them. It seems to me that Kubo has been flailing around for a way to develop his ideas until they reached a worthwhile ending, but wasn't up to the task.
I was hoping to see how it all turned out, but now it looks like at best we'll see a rush job, and at worse just a total mess. Oh, and I'd be shocked to see any new anime for this series. |

This is some ridiculous mental gymnastics. The thing is a media franchise. You can't compare it to newer series that have achieved less, and thus have less stake in their being around. This is one of Shueisha's biggest titles ever. In terms of dollars produced, it's right there with JoJo's, and most likely more given international success. I mean. this very site reports weekly manga sales. "Weekly" means "every week." I don't know how you can look at any of those lists where BLEACH came out that week and label the tank sales "okay-ish". |

Sad to see it end but at the same time it had to be done.
Its funny because each arc played like its own seperate series but by some conincidence had the same characters. Comparing the first arc with the current one and you can see the vast difference in how everything is presented. One of Kubo's issues was that he had all this stuff on the table but he just couldn't find a way to put it all together. Oda in comparison could take a character/plot point that appeared in chapter 171 and make them comeback in chapter 639 and it would be relevant in some way. Kubo tries to but it falls flat or goes nowhere. |

On the bright side, maybe with so few chapters left, he'll finally start putting more than 2-3 panels per page.

If you're referring to that new Boruto manga, Kishimoto isn't even working on that. |

Despite the fact that I don't even really enjoy reading this anymore, I still want to see how it ends. I think I'll start reading it from the beginning again at some point.

Don't even bother, they will write whatever it takes to shit talk bleach and make up a lot of fake statistics to make it seem the series is dead. That's the Ann community |

IT's not really Kubo's fault for how the stories going, and people like to complain a lot but they should be blaming the editors for getting in kubo's way a lot of times.
RIP that arc dedicated to ichigo's friends that he told us his editors shafted. |

You have attempted to trash talk One Piece. All your opinions are now invalid. |

I came to that estimate from looking at the number of chapters per volume as well as the fact that 6 of them are already out. It wasn't hard to tell that this was the end of the line. I'm not sure what to say other than goodbye to this once great series. |
