Also about bleach I was doing a bit of research and bleach sold second highest copies in year 2009 i.e. the arrancar arc -- Ulquiorra/Top 3 espada fight and before Full bring arc it was consistently in top 5.
From full bring arc the sales drop drastically and never recovered. Sales dropped by half. I like full bring arc but I think kubo did a mistake writing it going by sales number. He should have continued with TYBW
Sales downfall was on fullbring arc, but story quality dropped by the time people realized arrancar arc was soul society all over again without political aspects who made it cool and realistically while also not having cool treacherous aizen betraying everyone.
Same going to urahara at last minute ditch, same training before going, same girl being kidnapped, same chad being useless and disappearing from the story, same lots of transformations with little to no foreshadowing outside of one or two quick flashbacks...
Bleach´s peak was soul society, words can´t describe how disappointed me and the rest of the fanbase were reading fake karakura town arc, everything kubo could do wrong was done.
To make sense: imagine luffy´s father appears to teach him a new technique never before mentioned, he starts talking with nika fruit spirit and enter inside his universe, they have a brief fight and nika tells him about a last technique where he will gain ULTIMATE power,but lose permanently his akuma no mi powers.
Luffy accepts, uses it against whoever turns out to be last villain, loses everything, guy doesn´t die, some cool mysterious character, let´s say shanks, shows up and does a sealing to this ending villain.
That´s it, that´s the end, he lost everything but managed to stop the guy...OH WAIT, there´s just this fullbringer stuff never mentioned before where you can get your powers back and forget about this whole not having powers anymore, zoro comes out of a sudden, pierces luffy´s chest and he gains all his powers again.
Shit ending right? people would riot, well, that´s what happened between fake karakura town and fullbringer arc, no wonder the anime got canceled lol.
