I had once read an interesting topic that stated Bleach anime will be coming back when there will be enough published chapters. It said that because of the fillers (which, if you didn't know, make 35% of the entire series - 166 episodes out of 366) the ratings of Bleach fell too much, and so they decided to launch second arc when there'll be enough canon material. I don't know is it true or not, but the man claimed he got this info from someone in Japan who, in turn, says this is unofficial agreement between Kubo and studio Pierrot that leaked out to him.
