User blog comment:Lemursrule/BLEACH Anime: Why Did It End?/@comment-5398287-20140401180432

Two years later and with the current status of the English dub, I think it's safe to say that the Invasion arc and the Invasion arc alone killed the anime. I didn't think it was possible, but that's how boring, unoriginal, and uninspired of a filler arc it was. Now, if the Reigai had been the 3rd Phantom clones, things would've been a lot more interesting. Hell, I bet they wouldn't have even had to cancel the anime at that point because everyone would find the arc to be so good.

But no, Pierrot, you screwed up and instead of pacifist Kenpachi and lazy Yamamoto, we got Nozomi "Black Hole of Personality" Kujou and Kagerouza "TV Remote for a Sword" Inaba. Oh, what could have been...
