NEWS: Bleach TV Anime Ending on March 27

Sir I suggest you look up two words in a dictionary.

"Sarcasm" and "Opinion", I believe you need help understanding both.

I'm not gong to attack anyone personally, but generally speaking yes, if someone expresses genuine lament at a series like Bleach going off the air, I'm going to assume they lack taste.

It's very tried-and-true Jump formula and Ichigo is such a terribly written main character. Everyone else practices for hundreds of years and he's magically better than them in a couple of months. Then he fights you with his Shinigami-Hollow-Visored-Fullbring-Jellydonut powers...

Ooh, ooh, while we are suggesting looking up words and phrases, "sarcasm fail" is a good one.

I still don't get the hate that is piled upon Bleach fans
(not saying you are hating, just the hate in general)
"Most of us" aren't saying Bleach was a continually ground-breaking series or that it's the ultimate #1 show ever, but for many of us it was a comfortable habit. The show has been on for almost 8 years and for much of that time, we've been watching it. So yes, some of us will lament the end of an era.

I also don't really see the issue here. You admit it's a "tried and true" formula yet disparage it anyway.
The whole concept of the MC popping onto the scene and surpassing the old-timers is fairly basic in fantasy of any form be it anime, novels, movies, games, etc. (As to how well Ichigo is written, that's a matter of opinion, but let me point out again... the anime aired for almost 8 years and the manga is still going after 10).
Of course not everyone likes the show, that's why there are other options available to you... we haven't had the equivalent of the Restaurant Wars in anime (not all restaurants are Taco Bell nor is all anime Bleach).

On a general note:
IMO to try and compare 366 episodes to 12 or 24 is inane.
Using the math of the modern anime world, it was on for what, 29 "seasons"? Of course there are going to be "better" and "worse" arcs and storylines over the course of a decade.
You're not a fan if you stop watching the hometown team when they lose a game or fail to win the championship; same rule applies here.

Hey yeaah, you're right. It does seem like you need help understanding that one too. Good onya for taking initiative, kiddo!

I think this could be a good thing. Perhaps people will begin to look "farther afield" for new shows to watch and broaden their horizons.

I don't see Toriko catching on quite like Bleach has. It has an entirely different dynamic going on as far as storytelling goes. Fairytale is of course in a different magazine, and IMHO is a more of a hangers-on type show to the Big3. The writing isn't very inspired, copied art style, etc.

Implying everyone who watches Bleach are so shallow?

Seriously.. Just because something doesn't appeal to your personal tastes does not mean that everyone that likes it is some shallow-minded classless idiot lacking completely in taste.

Not a good idea to revive such an old thread but might as well answer now : it had terrible tv ratings (in the 1-2% range) and its dvd sales (which were initially very good for a day-time anime) were declining and becoming quite bad.

Do you think that Bleach will come back?
