Same. A reboot is not necessary.

Face it, we will never get a second season. Like we never got Katekyo Hitman Reborn ending in anime.

Considering how reception to the ending was bad and the series tanked, probably never.

I'd rather have a continuation with the last fight fixed, no need to start over from the beginning even though the anime had filler issues.

Yeah, it tanked. It got effectively canceled, that's why the last four chapters or so were so rushed. It had been skirting by the bottom of the polls for months and the already diminished volume sales were getting smaller and smaller. I honestly don't know why they decided to make the live action, I've seen zero (0) people excited about it. And nobody liked the ending. The final volume has an average score of 2.5/5 on Amazon Japan, whereas the five volumes before it have 3.5-4. Compare it to Naruto's final volume which has 4/5 stars rating, even though there was also a lot of backlash to the endgame pairings. The fans hated the Bleach ending.

No, it didn't tanked, the manga wasnt cancelled, it was a decission from both kubo, and shonen jump to rushed it due to kubos health, which he was already had problems with it before that, again those last chapters were rushed due to his declining health, bleach was ranking in the middle of the polls always, and the sales were decently stable half a million per volume. maybe because it could help bleach in the future, oh lol go to the official twitter site of the movie and try to type that again, yes majority disliked the ending due to being rushed and really short on information and mayor characters, not because of the epilogue, yes of course because there were 10 chapters of rushed material in the final volume whats the surprise in that, the content before that was decent, you mean naruto the series who ended with no rush due to the authors good health, with a proper conclusion and no lack of information, yeah no kidding you are comparing it as if kubo wanted to do this stuff, when he obviously had to rush it and not because of a cancelation, the majority of fans hate the rushed climax and missing information not the epilogue.

not many people want the live action that may be true (and I can't blame them their live action adaptations of anime tend to be a disaster, case in point Attack on titan) however they still want the anime back, sure the ending sucks but the studio can make some changes if they were to bring it back (the did it with Hakusho) keep in mind Bleach's manga still sold decently even with the drop in sales and the light novels also sold pretty well so there's still some money that can potentially be made

I stopped reading after this line because it is a well known fact -and it was known for years- that Bleach was ranking in the bottom five for nearly a year before it ended. I have literally no idea where you get this notion that "it ranked in the middle always". Its volume sales kept it afloat for a while but when even those started to dip -from the "stable 500k per volume" to barely reaching 300K-, whilst it was getting surpassed by the new hits such as ShokuSoma, Haikyu and HeroAca, its days were numbered. The series was canceled, there's no way around it, and the ending was hated by the majority of the fandom. In fact, the final arc itself doesn't seem to have a lot of fans, which is understandable considering how many crappy fights, overdrawn plots that led to nowhere and unsatisfying conclusions it had.

no surprise, no it is truth that there was a time in which bleach were in the bottom 5 of the polls, but that was when it still was in the lost agent arc, which was a disaster for bleach, after the final arc started go up, and always staying in the middle never going up, but not touching rock bottom either, it always touched the 450k and half million, and in the time as a big fan of two of those already mentioned that doesnt mean anything when bleach was still and always profitable, again it wasnt cancelled kubo decided to end it by its own decission for the reason i already mentioned, and thats a fact look it up, majority yes again doesnt like the ending but what what for really is bad the rushed climax, missing information and characters, sorry to correct you but it actually has a long variety of fans, and favorite of many due to some great figths, good twists in the story and new information, and that only could not concluded well due to the series ending so abruptly.

Yeah, the manga pretty much tanked after the fight with Grimmjow and Ulquiorra. And the anime was nothing but filler. So if they decide to animate the last arc, just sell it direct to DVD and get it over with, just like what Akamatsu did with Negima.
