So, Kubo has basically ran out of good ideas for the manga to show, thus being rushed by his editor to finish this series quickly before it embarrasses itself any further and before it disappoints fans even more. I used to have such high hopes for Bleach even when the fans bashed it non-stop during the Lost Substitute Shinigami arc as well as this one. But this manga has drastically decreased in quality as more and more chapters come out to the point where I can't lie to myself anymore; especially in these last few chapters.

It's sad to say that I have lost the hype for Bleach now. I used look forward to a new chapter every week, I used to be so excited to read a new chapter every time it came out and I used to be so happy and satisfied after reading it and I would read it over and over. But now, I barely look forward to reading a new chapter.. I continue to read it because I've been reading it for 9 years now so I want to know what happens next but I read it without any of the excitement and joy that I used to feel. Even though it has gotten so bad, I still like it. It's good to see that the admins here are trying their best in keeping a positive attitude towards the series but it's funny because there is barely anything to applaud aside the artwork and a few minor things Kubo has included such as the friendship theme thing with Haschwalth..

Such little character development for the quincies, so many characters wasted, battles thrown away and offscreened. There are still so many characters left to utilize, powers to showcase and so many things left to reveal. Unfortunately, they will all be rushed.. that is IF they will even be shown. What has happened to you Kubo? You are letting me and many fans down. I have always wished that Bleach may one day return to it's former days of glory just like how it was before the start of the Ginjo arc. But it's only a dream now as the end is nigh. This arc had a strong start and had so much potential but it's all gone now.

On an unrelated note, One Piece is on ANOTHER break.. what the f*** Oda.. Averaging a break every 3-4 chapters jeez.. It felt like ages since they left Zou but it's actually only been 9 chapters.. these breaks are killing me
