Wow, a Bleach Kai version would be great, but pretty unlikely something like that will be officially released in the near future. I hope they adapt the novels, I haven't read them but supposedly they explain what happened with Urahara, Yoruichi and the others after the battle. I could forgive all the plotholes, rushed pacing and bad plot devices, but how could Kubo give that ambiguous ending to Urahara in the manga? I mean he is a cool character and one of my favorites! I hope the anime fixes its tons of unresolved stuff, specially that one. |

The only way this works is if there's a LOT of expansion and rewrites because that last arc was a mess with a lot of "Huh?" plot developments.

I was an spoiler[IchiRuki] fan all through my childhood up to the climax of the manga but I'd already been broken down over the years by various other sunken ships of mine in other series so the spoiler[IchiHime] ending didn't bother me. Especially since I'd already dropped Bleach in its last arc, I hated it that much. I did, however, come back to check the last few chapters as the ending had pissed a whole lot of people on the internet off when it happened. The climactic fight of the series was bad, put plainly, and a good portion of Bleach's female followers put up with years of high-testosterone shonen brawling just for spoiler[Rukia and Ichigo] so I can understand the bitter feeling. Especially since the last arc wasn't particularly well written, pairings aside. This is true for Japanese readers too as the final Bleach volume ended up with a cumulative 1-star rating on Amazon.co.jp, amassing a lot of angry reviews.
The final volume didn't sell well either and Bleach faded into obscurity soon thereafter, which is why I was certain the anime would never return. Kubo lost his massive readership with the defeat of Aizen and then burned the bridges of many hardcore fans with his handling of the last arc and pairings. I had huge issues with the Thousand Year Blood War arc. It started off strong but Kubo hadn't developed any of his characters nor employed any world building over the decade+ -long run of his manga and then tried to do both during the final arc for every character he could, while at the same time introducing new enemies and a whole new world. Each fight would be interrupted with flashbacks and expositions explaining characters' personalities, backgrounds, and intentions, their weapons, ranks, abilities, and peer relations. Its easy to see why Kubo got so burned out towards the end. It was jarring to read and I bet even more jarring to produce. Still, one thing I always noticed Kubo kept consistent even after the time skip was spoiler[Orihime's feelings for Ichigo]. He's not a terribly talented writer so the fact that he always referred back to that told me it was always on his mind and he wanted to do something with it. When the ending pairings happened I thought to myself "oh, that's why". I was totally blindsided by the spoiler[RenRuki] ending though. Was that their relationship this whole time? In retrospect, Kubo did seem to like spoiler[Renji] quite a bit. He was one of the few secondary characters who consistently got fights, he was always on colour pages with the main gang, and he even got himself a whole new spoiler[Bankai] which looked awesome. We went the whole series without ever even seeing Yoruichi's Zanpaktou, mind you! I'll watch the anime. I can only think its return hints at a new manga project by Kubo which the anime will help to promote via connection to its author. Hopefully the cast, both Japanese and English, return. Hopefully its handled much, much better than it was in the manga. And hopefully fans enjoy it as a satisfactory send off for Bleach. |

So is this going to be a 1-cour showing like most shows nowadays (12- 13 episodes) or is it going to have the same system it had previously?
Which is to keep going, add filler and hopefully end it at some point in the future. With an additional amount of filler on the safe side. Whatever happened to D.Gray man?

Sometimes I wonder why shippers have such a bad reputation.
Then I remember the whole shitstorm when Bleach ended of people publicly burning their own manga volumes (real statement there am I right?  ) & death threats being sent to Kubo all becausespoiler[ IchiRuki] didn't become a thing.
And thus I am reminded why the common response to any serious mention of shipping is to roll one's eyes. |

Shipping ruins most of the shounen series' fandoms overall. People weren't upset about the entire spoiler[Black Zetsu] plot thing in Naruto, but oh no, timeskip without muh shippings? Unforgivable!! Worst example at the moment is likely My Hero Academia, since the fandom is so entitled and tumblr-centered, so you can already guess that if any shipping goes anywhere, there's a shit storm and people being aggressive towards the authoron twitter, especially if it doesn't favor their LGBT headcanons. |

Yesss!!!
I hope they allow Kubo to edit the story and use this as an opportunity to close his vision as he originally wanted without the rushing of the publisher. |

While it's good that "Bleach" is getting it's last arc animated,I just have one question. I noticed in the video that there's something called "Burn The Witch." What's that? I'd really like to know what that is because I have no idea what that is.

I hope they make it so the story follows what the author originally intended instead of the rushed climax that it was cause of AXED.
FOR EXAMPLE, SHOW EVERYONES BANKAI! I was furious when we didn't get to Urahara Bankai or Aizen's bankai or THE ENTIRE ZERO SQUAD BANKAI for example. Also have Espada 3 return instead of just teasing her and then doing nothing with it. For the love of god do justice to Ichigo's true bankai instead of making it seem like the most garbage thing ever. If they are just adapting it word for word and page for page then this anime is going to be garbage |

Of all the problems with Bleach's ending, the pairings were far and away NOT one of them. |

It's just a matter of how glued on they were. I mean, the biggest problem with that arc was how badly written it was, and how OP the main villain was. I griped about the pairings because I, for one, would've liked to see everyone being on their own, and not married. Plus, going by calculations, Ichigo and Orihime spoiler[would've married after high school and then had a kid while in their early 20s?]. That's just too much. That was clearly pulled out of Kubo's backside.
But as it is, my main gripe was how OP Yhwach was. Seriously, Kubo wrote himself into a corner here. |

That's not from airing in Japan that's global revenue from all sources which makes sense since paying for a Bleach streaming licence would be in high demand since even if it was already licensed a renewal would see a sharp increase in price with all the new competition. Though interesting that it's top 5 in revenue but not profit. I guess it's got a better sharing deal with the creator and assistant production anime studios. |
