I personally am finding most of the new fights to be more entertaining than many others we got in the Arrancar arc (and just reminding that the Arrancars were quite more charismatic than the new enemies).

Fights on Bleach are exactly like JoJo, in terms of formula (which I find to be a main influence in the work), and while many can get upset with that, I just roll with it without problems, unless we get a deus ex machina (see first fights for both Chad and Inoue for example). One Piece is VERY formulaic with each arc, even if some of the fights on them are not as predictable as Bleach's, for example, and that doesn't make the series any less great that it is.

Bleach have tons of characters, and most of them always have a "hidden trump" behind their power (and that kind of thing is even foreshadowed during many instances, in especial when the characters are shown training just before), and that's not an asspull (unless we are calling the said hidden tricks bullshit for a very specific reason that doesn't make any sense).

You want real asspulls, see any main fight in Fairy Tail after the first couple of arcs (in special Erza's... That shit on Tartarus arc is one of the best examples you will get).

...and announces final 3 chapters when he gets back. Oh dear, please end Bleach, Kubo-sensei. Don't destroy the Soul Society Arc's legacy! People will remember Bleach as a tainted-and-dragged-to-the-limit title and will forget that it has one of the best arcs in the shounen category.

The anime world needs to move on from mindless, depthless shonen garbage.

Soul Society wasn't that good of arc and incidentally started the series down the path of divisiveness it's been on since Huecdo Mundo.

I loathe that a percentage of my WSJ subscription goes toward Bleach.

Nah, Soul Society arc was really neat.

This is the only reason I have one. People are different.

Blah blah blah BLEACH is still very exciting blah blah blah. The conversation so far is very enlightening and offers new thoughts on this subject.

The manga is still going? State side releases or pirate scans? I left after the "final battle" with Aizen.

There is a reason the anime was cut short. Not even the Japanese can pretend to like Bleach, which is a shame because It had potential, especially compared to what's on TV now.

Maybe his lack of popularity has made him a cutter?

Not sure what your point is? There are many, many good, depthful anime/manga besides never-ending shonen trash that becomes mainstream.

To be fair, there are also many many amazing long running shounen titles out there (One Piece, HiatusxHiatus, Magi, Detective Conan, Gintama, and the list goes on... I have at least other 15 titles in my head). You guys are the ones generalizing in here.

According to you, but whenever any kind of story is continually published without a break over a period of years, of course there's going to be a decline in quality. For Naruto and BLEACH, they just kept going downhill, and I for one believe the nature of the publication was the reason why. I mean, basically 1 chapter weekly, non-stop (except for the occasional weekly break) for over a decade? Of course stories will suffer dramatically under those circumstances.
