Many fans who were disappointed with the cancellation of the anime many years ago are very happy that the ending of the manga is being animated. The manga, however, ended in 2015 and many fans were disappointed with the ending as they thought it was rushed and it still had potential.

In this arc, protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki and his allies face off against the Quincy, a race of powerful spiritual beings. The arc delves into Quincy’s history, their fight against the Soul Reapers, and their leader, Yhwach.
Throughout the arc, intense battles unfold as Ichigo and his friends attempt to protect the Soul Society and Karakura Town. Numerous key characters, including Soul Reapers and Quincy, are involved in epic confrontations, showcasing their unique abilities and powers. In the end, Ichigo defeats Yhwach with the help of his classmate Quincy Uryū Ishida and Aizen.
A few years later, we get to see that Rukia Kuchiki marries her dear friend Renji Abarai and has a daughter named Ichika. Ichigo goes on to marry Orihime and they both have a son named Kazui. Both the kids are training to be Shinigami. Fans were not happy with the ending and thought that it was rushed.
That was a bad ending, the extra couple years didn't help at all #bleach #manga #crappyending #shouldveendedlongago

Will the ending of the anime be the same as the Manga?
The final arc of the manga was announced to be turned into anime with 4 parts. So far Bleach Thousand Year Blood War Part 1 has been completed and Part 2 is being aired right now. The anime till now has stuck to adapting the manga except for a few filler arcs waiting for the manga to catch up.
These filler arcs were one of the reasons why the anime had such low ratings at the time of its cancellation. This did disappoint the author and fans alike as the manga was leading to better arcs. The Mangaka, Tite Kubo had announced his desire to expand on the original ending of the manga by adding new elements to the anime. Bleach Thousand Year Blood Wars fans can hope for a better fight between Quincy and the soul society.
when bleach anime's return, i just hope the ending is changed… i really fucking hope so bcs the manga was rushed so much that it turns into a bullshits ending

There is still doubt that the original ending will be changed completely, there is a chance that the final fight might be a bit more dragged out to perfection and maybe some characters might receive a better ending. However, fans are still hoping that the ending will be changed and a new satisfying ending will be shown in the anime.
Even if the Bleach anime comes back, there's a low chance that there gonna change anything in the final arc.
The final arc is gonna be the same and the ending is gonna be the same.
I need an example to where an anime changed anything from it's source material in it's final arc
