Surprised no one's started a discussion on this already. With the manga ending, do you believe Bleach will get an anime revival?

I'd love for the anime to return. I'd like to see the Sternritter and Royal Guard animated and voiced, plus the opportunity for expansion on some things. But I don't think the anime will return, if only because of popularity. The decline in Bleach's popularity during the Fullbring arc was a major cause of the anime's cancellation, and Bleach has done nothing but tank further in the four years since then. I doubt an anime revival would do much to raise interest at all, and won't be seen as a good venture to take. The live-action was pretty much all the goodwill that Japan could give it, to at least give something to the decimated diehard Bleach fans in respect to how much of a staple Bleach was.

Will the anime return? Yes No
