User blog comment:Lemursrule/New Bleach arc will be last/@comment-1248963-20120205020558

Just dropping in because I'm wondering about the apocalyptic reaction people are having to this. Just because it's "The final arc" doesn't mean it's going to end in one chapter. XXX Holic was "in its final arc" for two-three years (well, it was a monthly, but still) Everyone here knows that Kubo takes his time with /everything/ Just a year ago he spoke about "a short arc" (which lasted a year) and a "long arc". I'm not betting on anything less than 5 years. It'd be good if Bleach got to a 15th anniversary before ending. No, Bleach is not getting canceled, in spite of the poor ranks, and the proof is that Kubo was given a three-week space to talk and get fans excited about this next arc. I seriously believe there's still a good while left before the actual "finale", so even if the news make me feel nostalgic, the world (or Bleach) isn't ending tomorrow.
