NEWS: Fire Force Manga Enters Final Arc

I'll probably get hate for saying this, but if My Hero ends keeping its current quality then in my eyes it wont even be ending on a high note. Hopefully I don't get crucified for saying that lol.

Not to be a downer, but all 4 of those series could end on a low note. Naruto and Bleach didn't have too many complaints until like midway into their final arcs. Bleach did have some complaints during the Fullbring arc but, people were really enjoying the last arc until around its second half. And if I have learned anything over the years it is that it is almost always the final arc of a series where people start to say the quality has dropped.

What? Did you pay attention to the reception both Bleach and Naruto got later on? Because a lot of people were complaining about they're decline in quality way before they reached they're final arcs. Especially in Bleach's case, where the fans problems with it started to pile up during the Arrancar arc.

Of course I payed attention, but if we are talking about complaints on that level then none of the series being talked about on this forum have been received well at all for quite a long time. Can you give examples of straight up hate for Naruto or Bleach before their final arcs minus Bleach's full bring arc? The only point I can think of for Naruto that got large amounts of hate was the end of the Pain arc and for Bleach maybe the final fight of the Arrancar arc, but overall people were pretty fine with it especially in Japan as far as I saw. Not saying they didn't get any hate since that is pretty much impossible for any series, but not an amount were you could say most people thought they got bad.

It’s all dependent on a person’s experience and where they hang out, I guess. None of the series I listed that are ending are getting any more hate than I would normally see for other series.

I just haven’t seen a lot of people arguing that the recent MHA, Dr. Stone, and Kaguya arcs have been terrible. At least so terrible that they haven’t “been received well at all for quite a long time.” I’ve seen more of a mix of hyped fans and critical fans. Which is normal for big name franchises. And just because those fans are critical doesn’t mean they think the series is suddenly bad or that they hate it.

It’s just the same kind of reception I’ve seen before in the years I’ve been involved in the Western anime/manga community.

Hell, for a long time I’ve heard so much complaining from hardcore Naruto and Bleach fans about anything and everything regarding their respective series. Hell, I’ve even met fans who abandoned Bleach and/or started treating every new chapter like a joke way before the final arc. Again, it’s all dependent on what social circles you hang around, I guess.

Maybe the series I listed, including Fire Force, could end on a low note. Maybe they can end on a high. But I don’t want to be pessimistic about it because none of us know what is happening behind the scenes. It doesn’t help that most Mangakas are held on a tight leash and cannot do everything they want, whenever they want. The fast paced deadlines can and has forced a lot of cut corners in their stories.

All I know is that it just feels weird and melancholy that a lot of series I’ve been following since release date are ending and I hope the Mangaka can end it on their terms.

Since the manga enter final arc, I think the anime won't adapt the rest of the manga like many animes.
