Yeah this arc was WAY too long (and boring mostly, though it's been good again lately).
Hunter X Hunter's current Chimera Ant arc has been going on for a while too (longest arc in the series yet by far), but it's finally coming to an end fairly soonish. That's assuming the author doesn't take another 6 month hiatus.
"Thank god. This arc is finally coming to an end. I hope the next 2 Bleach arcs can get Bleach to be as good as it use to be during the SS arc. I'm looking forward to this."
Seconded, that arc was Bleach at it's best.
