So then why is the Bleach anime returning now, eight years later, to finish its last leg? Maybe demand from Bleach's most dedicated fanbase has finally paid off.

The most depressing thing about Bleach is that if it had been allowed to wrap up shortly after Soul Society, it might still be remembered as a phenomenal series instead of a series that fell from grace. And while Kubo was allowed to see his series through to completion, the anime was canceled before the manga ever even finished. Eventually, Bleach began falling in the Weekly Shonen Jump ranking. While the battles continued to be very cool, Bleach's plot started to feel weaker and emptier, especially compared to One Piece and Naruto, both of which seemed to have clear narrative arcs that had been set-up far in advance. Sadly, style isn't enough on its own to carry a long-running shonen for years and years. So Bleach tripled down on style, essentially repeating similar 'rescue' arcs again and again with cool new villains who were, indeed, very stylish. The characters in Bleach weren't as strongly defined as the characters in One Piece and Naruto, and the world-building for Soul Society was never especially prominent. The problem, though, is that Kubo didn't really seem to know what to do with the series afterwards.

The tension is always palpable, and the battles are phenomenal. To this day, Bleach's Soul Society arc still holds up as one of the best shonen arcs of its genre. This leaves Ichigo with the task of infiltrating Soul Society, defeating its most powerful captains and rescuing Rukia. As punishment for transferring her powers to a human, Rukia will be sentenced to death. After Ichigo Kurosaki becomes a shinigami, he learns that Rukia, his shinigami mentor who transferred her powers to him in order to save his family, has actually committed a cardinal sin according to the leaders of Soul Society (the shinigami world). The series had an incredibly strong hook and a phenomenal first arc, too. Following a teenager who gets shinigami (soul reaper) powers, Tite Kubo managed to create a world that felt edgier, more mature, more punk rock than its contemporaries. What Bleach had was a whole lot of style. But Bleach didn't have the world-building of One Piece or the character development of Naruto. Naruto, too, succeeded in its ability to follow its heroic young ninja from childhood to adulthood, allowing him to grow up alongside the readers. One Piece works incredibly well in the context of Weekly Shonen Jump, because its narrative impetus revolves around a pirate adventure, which means author Eiichiro Oda can spend as much time as he wants focusing on elaborate world-building and epic-scale battles.

Unfortunately, the pressure to consistently create new story content for an indeterminate period of time doesn't necessarily mesh well with every franchise.

Thus, while many shorter series complete full runs while maintaining their status in the middle-ground of Weekly Shonen Jump's rankings, the goal is usually to create a top-ranking series that readers can stick with for years and years. On the other side of the coin, any series that consistently hits the top of the reader surveys is encouraged to run for as long as possible. Any series that consistently performs poorly in reader surveys becomes more likely to get cut, as is currently happening to Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto's newest series, Samurai 8. As such, it's not just hyper-competitive for manga artists to get their series published in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump it's also hyper-competitive to continue being published in Weekly Shonen Jump. Perhaps the main reason that Weekly Shonen Jump has been so successful is its reliance on weekly ' reader surveys' to determine which series people are most enjoying. Success in Weekly Shonen Jump means taking a seat alongside global phenomena like Dragon Ball.

Of these manga magazines, Weekly Shonen Jump is the longest-running (since 1968), best-selling, and most prestigious. Unlike American comic series, which typically debut as single chapter comic books before being compiled into multi-chapter graphic novels, manga chapters usually debut in magazines. To answer that, it's important to understand how publication works in Weekly Shonen Jump, the Japanese manga magazine where all of these titles are serialized.
