I didn't say it was a good conclusion, but I'd take it any day over two kids who are only there long enough to do extremely confusing things, the abandonment of several plot threads including one that left some of the main characters to die, an extremely ambiguous and nonsensical action sequence with no effect on anything, pairings that had even less foreshadowing and development than Naruto's (which is REALLY saying something), and to top it off several of the main characters pursue careers that actively conflict with their character development or make zero sense in regards to it.

Contrast that with Naruto, where we actually gained enough understanding of them to see them as characters, regardless of whether we liked them or not, only one real abandoned plotline (Orochimaru and co, although it was remedied in Gaiden), and things have pretty much come full circle from what was in the beginning.

Again, this isn't to say that Naruto's ending was good, it was awful, but Bleach's ending somehow managed to be worse. At least I can give Kubo kudos for not making Bleach Gaiden...yet.
