Uhh, well Bleach is still selling like 500k each volume despite dropping popularity. It's certainly not at its peak though. But it makes no sense to cancel a good selling shounen that's on its last arc. Honestly so long as a series sells, I don't think they care about the content, originality or anything else so much. The anime might even come back after the last arc, haha... I don't need another Fullbringer arc failure though... >>
I just like the BA that oozes from the pages every time we think characters are defeated, then are like "NOPE JUST KIDDING", and reveal a new move. It's definitely predictable and repetitive as shit (like every bloody chapter), but I anticipate it and it happens. But hey, Bleach has been like that since practically the beginning, so...
I'm still wondering how the hell Ichigo will defeat this guy though, he's so damn OP it's ridiculous. Now he's The Almighty? Whaaat.
