AnimeSuki Forum - View Single Post - Bleach Episode 366 Discussion Thread [TV Series Ends]

Hi there. As most Bleach fans will know by now this episode is going to be the final episode for Bleach anime. The show had a remarkable run since it first aired on May 2004. When I first got into Bleach at around episode 12 or so, I didn't think this show will come to enjoy so much popularity. At that time it seemed like this show will not exceed more than 26 episodes, so the moderators were holding back on giving Bleach its own forum. And now here we are. For the last year or so, it has been brutal for Bleach anime in terms of TV ratings. It occupied an afternoon timeslot in the TV Tokyo's anime line up, and yet, the viewer-ship ratings were so dismal that it was being regularly beaten by shows aired in midnight timeslot. It really was a matter of time before Bleach anime came to an end.

The manga is still continuing with the story, so there is still hope for the fans who want more Bleach anime in the future. It may come in the OVA or movie format, or it may even have a revamped second season like Naruto Shippuden. For now, this is the end for Bleach anime.

Absolutely no manga spoilers in any anime-only threads such as the weekly Episode Discussion threads. That means, no hints, or vague remarks about a future event from the manga, even within the spoiler tags. Inability to observe this rule will result in a BAN!
