User blog comment:Nick D Wolfwood/The Hell Chapter - one shot, not full arc/@comment-1961713-20101117184308

Yo Mr Woolf! Great Blog! canon - non canon. Merchandises, filler arc anime, movies = J-POP style. Actually what is important in the world of Manga is the manga itself (and the mangaka too). However this only IMO but those other than the manga itself is the means to boost the manga sales in japan and indirectly finance the production & selling of the manga it self - in other words those apart from the manga are spin off cash cow materials in order to keep the manga (canon part of it) alive. So if Bleach hit 100 million units of Tankobon sold just in Japan we can say Kubo indeed a rich mangaka in Japan alone, the other part of it just the icing on top of the cake(s).

But regarding your question I as of now have 8 box @ 275 epsiodes of Bleach DVD and I didnt watch all the fillers, however I'll be watching the movie next months at all cost hehe!!! I want to see that BadAss Full Hollow Form of Ichigo beating some Devil from Hell villains plus it has Kubo written down all over them, will be awesome. Oh TBH the 3 movies I did enjoyed it too.
