[Manga] (Spoilers!) Bleach Final arc/ending!-----OPINIONS-----

[Gallahadd]

Sry for OT but I need to disagree about Shokugeki. Hayama's face-heel-turn and complete disregard of Shiomi is so out of character I sat there literally cursing the chapter in disbelief.

The only bit that I didn't like was his disrespect of Siomi, I can totally buy him becoming a dick though. He was always the one of the main guys I saw turning into a heel.

[Seramore]

Is Shokugeki no Souma really as good as people make it out to be? The premise of the show seems pretty dumb in my opinion (although that's not to say that many popular series' don't have dumb premises either) but there seems to be a lot of hype around it.

[Galathir]

It's fun and engaging. The Shokugeki system keeps the stakes high and it's always about overcoming adversity against the odds. And it has foodgasms. Lots and lots of hilarious foodgasms.

I read like 3 chapters and rolled my eyes every time someone tasted something so good that they imagined themselves with their clothes off.

Short answer: Yeah, kinda.

Long answer: It all depends. Basically, it's a Shonen battle manga, where the battles are cooking contests, instead of fights. If you're a fan of shows like Iron Chef, Chopped or Cutthroat Kitchen, then you'll like this series. If you're a fan of comedy/fanservice you'll like this series, if you're a fan of Iron Chef AND fanservice, you'll LOVE this series.

I mean currently the most watched anime of this season on "unofficial" sites are 2 shows with "naughty" in their description, this being one of them and the top spot (because apparently the other show is flat out softcore porn and the admins keep deleting views to let it keep the top). That is pretty much all you need to know :P

To me it's pure cringe, but then I don't find the whole cooking thing interesting either.

[un_known]

This ending..... just so very bad.

What the hell happened to yoruichi and urahara? and that girl that jumped in to save them? this ending left so many holes it's not even funny

that you can blame the ones that told Kubo to essentially "hurry the fuck up!" and in times of stress like that you do tend to forget some things.

[Dontrike]

Yuzu wants to do it with her brother and nephew

I'll never forget when Karin was saying "I'll protect you now, big brother" after she bought some stuff from Urahara and that went absolutely nowhere.

Ah yes, one of the bajillion plot threads that went nowhere...'

Can we just agree as a fandom that Bleach ended after Ichigo defeated Aizen and lost his powers? Seems like a perfect end to the series in my opinion.

[Dontrike]

You folks are so damn depressing... you expect far, far too much.

The end didn't even live up to my expectations and they were middle of the road, at best, and this chapter was still incredibly lame. Of course there was no way he could fit in every single thing into the epilogue in one chapter, it would have had to be another two chapters to fit it all in, but pacing has always been terrible in Bleach so that's no surprise there.

Ichigo's kid giving the actual final blow to Yhwach was fine. Bad guy got fingered.

Ignoring for a moment how dumb it is or not, it doesn't even make sense that their kid inherited a power that is only specific to a singular person. Orihime's Fullbring powers are only for her, else if that was the case down the road we could have people breeding to just get as many abilities as possible. If their kid had any Fullbring powers it would be his own, not his mom's.

Getting Soul Reaper powers is one thing, as that is basically a race in this universe, but Fullbring is something that really almost anyone can do and they had explained that all those with those abilities got them because a Hallow attacked their mother during birth, or some such nonsense.

As dumb as that plot device was I have to agree that it would have been much better as an ending than either of the two arcs that came after it.

As far as I'm concerned, Sayonara Rukia is the final chapter. It was a great ending and had some genuine emotion to it.

Everything that happens after that? Myeh.

[Jester Joe]

The chapter was fine.

Not too sure I'd say fine, but definitely didn't expect much more I suppose.

You never, ever needed to see everything you could possibly imagine in the series.

I just wanna know what happened to Kisuke :x

Yuzu has always been overly into her brother, ofc it's gonna pass over to mini-ichigo, but only the internet would make it incest and not just some OTT familial love, being surprised either way just shows half of you never paid attention to the most obvious shit.

I blame SAO for making people assume incest

Anyone whinging at IchiHime needs an actual slap, it's been so fucking obvious from the start and him ending up with Rukia would have been the dumbest shit ever in a manga full of the dumbest shit.
The seeds for Renji x Rukia were there in the first place.

Agree with both of these. Renji from the start wanted to free Rukia in the first arc, and he even betrayed Soul Society to do so after fighting Ichigo.

Ichigo's kid giving the actual final blow to Yhwach was fine. Bad guy got fingered.

Still a bit strange though.

[randomnamegenerator16]

Well... to say this ending was dissapointing is to say nothing. It was even worse than I expected and I had very low expectations of this manga from Fullbring arc onward. Seriously, this should have ended when Ichigo defeated Aizen and lost his powers. That would be fitting and for me, this is the ending.

[StayTuned]

Worse than expected
Wasted so many years of my life

Cannot even say who is at fault here. Kubo, or shonen?

[Gallahadd]

WSJ are 100% responsible for this clusterfuck of an ending. Kubo had plans for 1000 chapters, with a full 500 being just this arc. Instead he has to wrap the whole thing up in just over half that time.

Think of a story, a really great one. Plan it out so it's just how you want it to be. Now half it.

It's GOING to be shit.

fair enough. i wonder why he didn't just go on with it through his own label or something. fuck wsj, just finish it on your own. He's a multi millionaire... he could have made it happen.

[Seramore]

I don't know how this arc could have been dragged on by that much. It had been going on for quite a while, I would imagine that it went somewhat far before the publishers started giving him a deadline. (I say this because it seemed like the arc had been going incredibly slow for quite a while and then it suddenly started to seem like it was moving way too fast.)Things certainly could have been more detailed regarding the story and fights, but not 500 chapters worth.

Kubo isn't entirely innocent, the series itself has been going downhill for a long time. Shonen Jump certainly played a huge part in how poor the series ended, though. I think Kubo would benefit more with what Kishi is planning to do with his next series with the monthly issues if he decides to do another one. Less rushing and he'll have more time to flesh out everything.

[GennGreymane]

This ending was baaaaddd.... I mean even DB GT had a good last episode....



What we got here was just a Naruto rip off..... and Naruto is not that much better of an anime.... and Narutos ending threw out all of the themes and character building they did..... Naruto was just destined to be great all along...

Its just... oh yeah random villain with godly powers is dieded..... now here are all the character ships!

[Gallahadd]

Probably something contractual. You never know the kind of fel deals they have to sign to get into WSJ.

I'm still kinda hoping that he'll make the final season of the anime, but fill it out and add some of the info that he had to cut from the manga.

[Tragedia]

To be fair, who wants to read a 500 chapter Bleach arc. Like all the Sternritter shit was already annoying. Nobody cared about 99.9% percent of them.
