Ok, so it's been quite a while since this manga was first published in 1999 and got its anime on 2004.The story developed, we all fell in love with its unique characters that always offer something for someone, as it has sold thousands of copies in manga and DVDs around the world.
But since one of the main arcs that have motioned the very core of the story of the series came to an end recently in the manga, it's difficult to predict where the series will go. What's left? Bleach GT?
This even has impacted the anime with a rumor that it would end soon, with possibly a break and a relaunch, even the Technical Director couldn't exactly debunk the rumor.
I mean, it's quite obvious, isn't it?
It's interesting how the latest poll in this very blog shows how divided and polarized readers feel right now.
Could Bleach really last 10 more years without losing steam?
Barely 33% of the votes responded with a HELL yeah!, and a really close 32% responded with an absolute NO.

Yet the one important portion of voters is unsure with 'It frightens me' (6%), 'Hmm...not sure how it would turn out?' (11%) and 15% answered 'No way if it turns out like Dragon Ball', which sums still 32%!!!
You know, I'm not really fond of extending stories for the sake of doing so, or for editorial pressure, but I'd still bet on what KuboTaito-sensei has to offer.
After all, the Aizen arc could just well be 'the flashback/backstory' of Kurosaki Ichigo...
