Talk:Bleach (manga)

This is a summary of our archived standardization topics for the Bleach (manga) article, originated by tjstrf and with additional compilation from Dekimasu. Although consensus can change, please consider these points when adding information to Bleach-related articles. In titling, we use Bleach (manga), not Bleach (series), Bleach (anime) or BLEACH. We are using the English naming conventions for characters (given name first). Quincy, Bount and Soul Society are capitalized, but we do not capitalize most other terms (hollow, plus, zanpakutō, etc.). It's lieutenant, not vice-captain; the onmitsukidō is to be referred to as "special forces"; demon arts has been superseded by kidō, since all versions of the series use the Japanese term; Soul Reaper is preferred to shinigami. The main characters on the page are listed in the order of their appearance. Correct character spellings include Bount (pl. Bounts), Visored (pl. Visoreds), Yammy, Luppi, and Kuroud. We refer to "artificial souls" rather than "modified souls" in order to incorporate all manufactured souls.

Conclusion

So Bleach appears to be nearing a conclusion very quickly (it could possibly be complete within a few weeks). Should this be noted in the weeks to come? For one the interview with Tite Kupo where he said he had yet to write an ending, is from 2008, and a lot can happen in 2 years (just look at One Piece). Just an FYI, if in anything, keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks. 70.148.217.99 (talk) 00:38, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

No source, no interview. There is no need to update the article until the plot moves on.Tintor2 (talk) 01:08, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

I don't have a source, but I've heard it mentioned a lot on the Bleach Wiki that Kubo stated that after the Arrancar arc, he would do a short arc, and then continue on to a much longer arc. A lot of speculators are pointing to the Decide chapters as the mini-arc, but either way there's supposedly a large arc still to come. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.209.43.82 (talk) 04:16, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

In an interview with Tite Kubo in MASKED, he said that following the arrancar arc, there will be a short arc followed by a much longer one, the arrancar arc ended with chapter 421, see http://www.shonenjump.com/e/news/index.html.--150.212.38.96 (talk) 20:51, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

I can't see the interview in the source, but that could be added to the article with a reference.Tintor2 (talk) 23:19, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

It seems I made a mistake, the interview was not from MASKED, that is a different interview I am thinking of, here is the correct interview about the short arc and long arc http://iareawesomeness.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/tite-kubo-interview-jump-festa-2009-and-other-spoilers/, I am still hunting down the shonen page that says that the arrancar arc is over but I will keep looking--150.212.38.96 (talk) 23:35, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Note that the reference has to be from WP:Reliable source and lately many Jump Festa appear to be invented by fans and only appear in forums.Tintor2 (talk) 23:38, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

10th Anniversary?

How is episode 304 of the anime the 10th anniversary? Frank0051 (talk) 23:28, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Title

"Bleach (Manga)" is rather limiting. Maybe it should be "Bleach (franchise)" instead. -- jfry3 (talk) 21:56, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

No consensus achieved for the move. Check the top from the talkpage. Besides, it contradicts the article's lead about what is about.Tintor2 (talk) 23:14, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

genre: comedy

dont u think the genre of this anime can also be labelled as comedy? The anime does feature a lot of comedy in most of the scenes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.254.5.200 (talk) 06:37, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

It does feature comedy like most shonen series but is more focused on the action and fantasy themes so comedy would secondary.Tintor2 (talk) 13:33, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Adding that Bleach is coming to an end

Should we add that Bleach is coming to it's final arc? Like "Tite Kubo has announced that he is going to start his final arc on February 8th." --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 23:56, 3 February 2012 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi

Should be good in the plot or production alongside a wp:reliable source. I'm currently busy right now to the point I am unable to search for them, but Animenewsnetwork.com has an article that talks about it.Tintor2 (talk) 01:20, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Well, I am good with Wikimedia. So I'll add it in. Under the production section. --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 17:03, 5 February 2012 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi

Anime ending debate

Seeing how some people seem to disagree about listing the anime as ending on March 27, here is what I have to say to the people who keep removing the end date: Reliable sources report it ends on March 27th. They do not say anything at all about it moving to a new timeslot. So far, all this "it's been moved" stuff is nothing more than rumor and speculation on forums, unsupported by legitimate sources.

We can only go by what legitimate sources say. Until a source like ANN confirms at was moved instead of canceled, we have to say what we currently know: that it will end on March 27. That's my two cents on this issue. 67.248.15.175 (talk) 03:26, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
