why couldn't bleach just end?

[jumjalalabash]

Because money thats why. Seriously like 6 chapters of Bleach= 1 One Piece chapter.

You can whine about it all you want. So long as Tite Kubo is okay with continuing the manga, the anime will continue as well. The anime only does fillers to give the manga time to get ahead since the anime's 30 min run time allows it to catch up that much faster, so they're a necessary evil.

That said, if you are unimpressed by it and are going so far as to call it crap, then I really have to wonder why you're sticking with the series, because you've just made it clear that you don't like it.

Honestly I was hoping they wouldn't restart it with ichigo but rather with his little sister, bring a new character in, I mean after all ichigo already hit the top of his power, beyond godly is pretty much all you should ever need and from here on out it will just be repeating his old growth with a different origin.

His little sister on the other hand could bring in an entirely new set of powers, the change from a male to female character would make it so the mushy bits would be rather different, plus she would start differently from Ichigo and that would change quite a bit. I'm not against keeping the bleach universe alive but Ichigo should have finished I totally agree, I mean hell they even put in a point where she conceivably could have taken over the family business of making mangas for all us fans to read.

they had a chance to stop at the point were ichigo lost his powers, could never see some of his friends again as a result of losing his powers, and the big antagonist lost. it was a decent ending to a show that should have ended long a long time ago.

but no they just have to keep milking every dollar out of it. to extend the show they do something original(sarcasm). they make a way for his powers to return just like they did in the beginning of the show and also add some other random antagonist. who knows whats next after this

so far i am unimpressed with the manga and it's current story but i will read this crap till the end. as for the anime there no point in watching it when the manga is ahead and has no fillers

but this show has taught me to stop watch an anime when hit the wall and seems to go down hill. instead of saying it just 20 minutes a week even if it sucks while waiting for a good episode. so congratulation money milking creator of bleach for teaching me avoid the kind of crap people like you make.

Should have ended after soul society arc. After that, they totally broke the difficulty curve. Ichigo beats kenpachi, then masters bankai, then masters vizard mask(each of which should have increased his skills and spirit power) and then kenpachi beats the guy who kicks Ichigo's ass in one two-handed swing. No. Ichigo with these powers strugles to beat the bounts, hitsugiya fights them evenly with his limiter on. No. The whole show was broken after soul society. Solid start, shit finish. Scrap and try again.

There was that unexplained part before the vizard arc where Ichigo takes out the Substitute Badge and Uryu thinks about it. Gave it an ominous look as to what he meant. Probably going to be explained in this arc.

Page for reference: http://www.mangareader.net/94-636-14/bleach/chapter-182.html

I completely missed/forgot about that. Now, I'm really curious.

Spoiler: Just in case anyone is interested in reading it that hasn't

It's strange that the badge is the source of Ichigo's Full Bring (still think that's a stupid name). I wonder if there could be something more to that than we think. Uryu did just ask Orihime to heal his wounds. I wonder what he knows. I just hope this leads to a revival of Ichigo's formal soul reaper powers again.

While I agree that it really could have ended with the death of Aizen, the last few chapters have gotten much better. I'm actually starting to get interested in the story, again. Plus, I would like to know about Ichigo's father. Just too much unanswered with him. That has pretty much kept me reading, for now.

Same here, never mind that Aizen isn't technically dead either so there could be somethere there to work with.

I remember reading somewhere that after this whole Fullbring arc is done, there's gonna be one more major arc to end it with.

 

[PrinceofPersia]

As was foretold by prophecy: Anime and Manga will attempt to become like the Amercian superhero comic with a beginning, and middle, and no end in sight.

I kid but really a good ending to a story is worth it's weight in gold. Shame none of the series mentioned here cannot seem to find one.

 

[Ghost]

Bleach was 'meh' at best until about episode 60 where he saved the girl from the giant bird thing, after that it turned godawful, and I don't mean just filler crap. Every single fight results in Ichigo getting his ass kicked by X bad guy with cool hair, he then gets saved by his friends as the bad guy flees, claiming it's not worth his time to kill them. Ichigo then trains to unlock a new power. I can think of so many good shows that ended after 12-25 episodes.. He doesn't even draw fucking backgrounds in the manga now?

And they aren't ending it purely because it's so damn profitable, and requires very little time and effort since it's the same plot with different bad guys.

Well, he's as good as dead as far as Ichigo/the story should be concerned. Didn't they imprison him for over 1,000 years? Unless this goes until Ichigo dies and becomes a Soul Reaper in the Soul Society, I can't see aizen being a major threat again. Maybe bring him back to ask questions or give advise, but not much else.

Not sure if this is correct, (I don't keep up with Bleach) but I believe the author said he is going to try and keep it going for another ten years. Bleach is a anime/manga that honestly, has little to nothing going for it. The annoying thing about Bleach is it seemed to have no clear goal. (Naruto wants to become Hokage, Luffy King of the Pirates, etc.) Thus, he can keep the story running forever if he feels like it, even though there is no damn story!

 

[TeeBs]

Because people like you watched it to this point.

 

[Genixma]

Bleach is still alive? And here I thought it was a dead horse that people randomly beat from time to time. Personally I think it died at Ulquiorra's fight which seemed...really weird. Not like any of the other Bleach fights it's just...at that fight and after the fights were...I dunno. Something was missing from them all. So for me it just died at the Ulquiorra fight and I haven't read it all that consistantly since.

 

[Popido]

Kubo just kept building chapters over chapters that eventually led nowhere. Theres still no story in it.

 

[bladeofdarkness]

money, my dear boy.

 

[Artina89]

The reason I stopped watching and reading it was because I didn't really care about the characters anymore, I just wanted the series to end. However, as many people have said, as long as the franchise is still making money, then they are going to carry it on to milk every last dollar out of it, until people stop reading or watching it.

 

[thirion1850]

It should have ended at Soul Society arc. Bleach is getting more and more stupid.

 

[Shiftysnowdog]

Is there a reason why the second person needs to quote the original poster, only to write "snip" in the quote box? As if we didn't know he was replying to him...

OT: Filler episodes couldn't have been worse than DBZ

 

[WanderingFool]

Had a friend who told me the show suffered from DBZ syndrome. Watched some of a fight, and realized, "Fuck! He was right, it took them 5 episodes to finish a fight." Im waiting for Bleach Abridged before I bother watching anything related again...

 

[Kecunk]

The first law of all media something will only stop being made when it stops makeing money, not when it stops being good.

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

Its the DBZ protocol, drag the horse carcass along until the bones have turned to dust. Then make jello.
