@FinalFlash: I will be honest. I used to watch Naruto and Bleach. And I did find them entertaining, but that was a while ago and now, I think Naruto is overhyped and Bleach is just...meh. I heard what was happening in the manga from a reviewer on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses (thatguywiththeglasses.com) called Y Ruler of Time in his show called "Read Right to Left". Admittedly, where he addresses what's happening in Bleach is a little old right now (I had just recently decided to give his videos a watch), but I can see  where he is coming from. He adresses it in two-parts called "The Downfall of Bleach". From what he said, the main problem is that Aizen was hyped up so much during the Soul Society arc plus, that the payoff wasn't satisfying. Togashi cares enough not to let that happen. He takes breaks, yes, but I think he takes them to refuel the creativity. Remember, he's been at this for much longer than Kubo and Kishimoto so he can tell when his creativity is fading. That's just my theory on it, though. Now, I digress.

References... are teh suck.
