Bleach: The Legend of Pepe ends way too quickly. And yet another enemy with the ability to warp space. One Piece: DoFlamingo's brother is like a cross of Jerry Lewis and the Joker IMO.

Bleach is RIP in peace Pepe. and One Piece is flashback to make the story longer, goddamn it. I guess Naruto is on break, which is good because I could certainly use a break from that pace.

No. Everyone is in agreement that it just needs to end. No one even cares how at this point. Naruto and Sasuke get married? Sure please, the fujoshi. Tenten saves the day and defeats them all becoming hokage? Why not. Pie end? Please.
No one cares about loose ends. No one cares about the how or why. I think half the reads would be fine if this was the last chapter.
Bleach: Ugh, do we really have to tack on even more useless secondary characters?
Naruto: Back to the valley of the end. Still not clear on what exactly Sasuke is trying to do, aside from killing Naruto. I think I might have been reading a bad translation or something.

Way I see it, Sasuke is trying to use fear and terror to keep everyone else in line. He'll be the lone dictator at the top of the foodchain taking out everyone who is a threat to the peace, or what he considers peace anyway. Everyone will hate him, but be united through that hate and fear, thus creating peace.
He will get Naruto on his knees and most likely will then be persuaded to listen to Naruto and not kill him. Then they'll join hands, Sakura and Kakashi will come and everyone will join hands and sing Kumbaya. Or something like that.
I am willing to bet that Sasuke's brother is still around somewhere, ready to pop up again and give Sasuke the final push to surrendering.

It was a joke about how slow the story goes. BatSasuke will lose the will to fight after a patented Naruto Speech about love and friendship and there will be no repercussions for his treason.

Yea, HSDK just up and ended last month with only 1 chapter's warning. Kinda sad, but not like the story on that one was particularly involving in the first place.
I'm much sadder about Sankarea ending soon, but at least we've known about that one for a while (but only 1 chapter a month is also annoying ).
We all totally called Naruto, but I don't think I was expecting so soon. That's only four or five more issues, and unless they do a much bigger final issue, they're going to have a lot of ground to cover.
I've picked up Blood Lad. It's fun and only about 39 issues in.
Sankarea and Naruto ending sucks, Bleach is going to be ending soon (ish). At least One Piece will never end. I think in the last year a ton of mangas ended: Beelzebub, Deadman Wonderland, Souleater, Vampire+Rosario, and probably ones Im forgetting. Kind of bumbed out about that.

Yea, Vampire+Rosario was also sad. I saw the anime for Blood Lad, haven't heard anything about another season though so picking up the manga might not be a bad plan. I did enjoy it.
Another long running manga that ended in this month was Claymore.
Yeah. I felt that it ended well. Nothing too over the top, nicely wrapped up.
If Naruto is going to end so soon, it's bound to leave questions. Not sure if anyone would be interested in those, but anyway.
Right now, I'm thinking that both will die. Definitely Naruto, sacrifising himself to force Sasuke to see things his way. If this fight is really going to end that quickly.
Five weeks left for Naruto, which means three weeks of Gundam no Jutsu with intermittent sad past flashbacks and lecturing, one week of conflict resolution, and a time skip finale. Something about a tree in Bleach, and trying to make Donflamingo more sympathetic and another D reveal. Devil Fruits are rare. Devil Fruits aren't rare. Haki is rare. Haki isn't rare. D is rare ...

Naruto: The final battle of Naruball Z finally starts. Bleach: Robbed of the kill before he got to teabag the corpse. One Piece: Holy crap Law is a member of the "House of D", and Corazon's face is a cross between the Joker and Macolm McDowell's character from "A Clockwork Orange". Also "House of D" destined to destroy the Celestial Dragons, calling it now.

Gangsta shinigami was pretty impressive, taking out Girl Thor by rubbing his afropuff on his chest, and double agents errywhere in One Piece. Four asterisks for Naruto, and I'm not referring to quality.
