Why is Bleach called Bleach?
The anime's writer, Tite Kubo, explained that the name came from the original design of the Soul Reapers (black kimono-like attire with white accents). He said,
The Soul Reaper-the color that you associate with the Soul Reaper is black. But "black" is too straightforward. So I thought about "white," but just white is too simple. So if you put "bleach," somebody can associate that with white. So that's how Bleach came.

Why has Bleach lost popularity?
The Bleach series struggled with the pace and even got cancelled due to declining popularity compared to One Piece and the Naruto anime.
According to Comic Book Resources, the original Bleach film ran from October 2004 to March 2012, airing 366 episodes. After sitting out for ten years, it returned with a remake that promises to restore its dignity. Fans expressed their concerns in the Myanimelist forum. One wrote,
Too many characters, lack of fresh content as the story went on, lengthy battles that last forever.

Another one criticised Tite Kubo, saying,
His character designs are amazing and fashionable, but he just can not write a good story even if his life depended on it.
Another fan wrote,
The fact that the anime ended a long time ago definitely contributed to the loss of popularity.
While some believe Bleach's golden age is over, the anime has built a nostalgic fan base to keep its name alive and relevant.
