NEWS: Bleach Manga to End on August 22 With 'Important Announcement'

Unlike Naruto, this is ending rushed.

Yeah I cannot see it being an anime continuation at all, no incentive for Shueisha, an anime to finish it off would be a huge investment for very little in return, would be just flogging a dead horse.

A movie on the other hand I could potentially see. Less risk involved and a nice send off to a long running series.

Most likely gonna be a spin-off or semi-sequel in another magazine.

That's unlikely. Video games are always there to boost Anime or the Manga sales, which still would be a possibility, but almost as small as anime continuation.
Even japanese people should know that not everything can be made as LA movie/series.

Scanlations come out early on Thursdays or Fridays, which may be what he's talking about.

Sorry, but I have to react on that. Anybody that read Rave know it's false. Yes there are flaws, but his pacing and story are pretty good. At least as good as Bleach for the story, and way better for the pacing. Even Fairy Tail story is not so bad. And its pacing make it entertaining. The real problem is that sometime during the writing of FT, he decided he had to put more boobs. At the beginning, it wasn't inconvenient, but like a cancer, it spread until it spoiled the story beyond what acceptable. Mashima master the code of the shonen better than Kubo and Kishimoto reunited. He just shot himself in the foot with the fanservice to disgust.

It should, though. I like Bleach (aside from the last few chapters), but this arc has too much content crammed into it with no room to breathe. The ideal adaptation would either pace things out better so it doesn't come off as rushing from one fight to the next, or, ideally, cut the less important parts that didn't have any real impact on the arc as a whole (shorten or remove the fights with Mask, Gerard and Lille, etc.).

Fairy Tail often gets compared to One Piece because they looked familiar at the beginning...but I can tell you that the same thing happened to One Piece. When Eiichiro Oda got married, his mind was now filled with sex.

Wait, has Bleach's merchandising side ever bounced back recently? I last checked a few years ago, and the way I remember it, Bleach's manga sales made up almost the entirety of the series' revenue.

I can believe that because bleach's video games were not that good especially when you compare it to dbz tenkaichi series and naruto storm series.

Hopefully somebody will make another attempt though at a good bleach game.

That's because unlike Naruto, this series isn't popular outside a small contingent of American fans who kept reading for nostalgia's sake or some reason.

You can guarantee SJ won't be begging Kubo for a sequel series.

That's one really biased comment. You guys are really full of hate and negativity to come here and trash this series in front of its fans even at such dark our for us.
I truly believe that people like you will have serious problems throughout life if you don't change something. You will be turning, if not already, into what many consider a vampire, someone who sucks on the happiness of other people to make his own suffering less painful.

besides Hiro Mashima is a much worse writer then Kubo.

But the only awkward moment was the Franky Brief thing. Yeah, the female characters got sexier, but fanservice never spoiled the story. When fanservice has become the principal thing in FT (and I say that as someone that still enjoy the FT manga).

Not biased at all, because I like both bleach and naruto. I use to be into one piece, but fell off near the first season from missing a couple of episodes and never got back into it. One of these days I might pick it back up though.

So no, it is not hate or negativity. It is constructive criticism because I want the best for this series like any other true fan does.
