What was Ginjo's plan?

Why did he pretend to be Ichigo's friend for so long?

all i remember about that bleach arc is that ginjo had the other dude make him forget he was actually evil or something
 
It's more the novel explained Ginjou actual backstory to why he was doing it.

He just a guy wnating revenge aganist the Soul Society.

Ginjou was innocent. A Shinigami was sent to assassinate him. That Shinigami killed all of Ginjou's friends and Ginjou killed him in a fit of rage. Finding out about that plus the truth behind the Shinigami badge led to him rebelling. He went to the Seretei during the final arc in order to know the truth. But thanks to the Kamikake Ukitake was dead and could not speak. Ginjou still doesn't know why someone would want to assassinate him. It's implied the order came from high above. Ukitake is a major suspect and Ginjou believes it was him, but so far there is no confirmation.

Here's a bit from a blog that had the info.

unless Kubo didn't figure out his backstory there was no reason he couldn't just have Ginjo or Ukitake or someone explain it
No, I mean literally Shounen Jump said "alright we gave you a final arc but this is too long, your series ends in X chapters" and just about every plot-line was completely abandoned.

The SAO spinoff is from the writer of Kino's Journey. That automatically makes it better than the actual series, right?

Half of his henchmen had final boss tier level powers.

"I'm just a sniper, nothing that extraordinary abo- JUST KIDDING I'M A GOD! I also look like Arceus now for some reason."
"My ability makes miracles happen, and that includes bringing me back to life stronger and bigger. Nothing can stop me! Except the executives stopping Kubo OH SHI-"

Dragging your feet for four fucking years Kubo... could have wrapped this up in two but noooooo you had to have goons that represented the roman Alphabet.

EDIT: Forgot about the imagination guy. Literally the power of imagination... and he does nothing cool.

nothing short of a special like Jack or FLCL could knock Super off the front

Why the fuck are Bleach and SAO popular again?

The point of Bleach we're talking about is when it stopped being popular. It was popular when it was actually kind of decent for the first 20 or so volumes, and when people wanted Ichigo to kick Aizen's ass but Kubo took fucking forever to get there because EVERYONE HAD TO FIGHT. Then after Aizen's defeat and the series kept going, the popularity plummeted harder than a Hollywood star with sexual harassment allegations.

SAO is wish fulfillment trash... that's basically it.

There was three things that worked in Bleach's favor; (1) the art direction was fantastic. Kubo had some really strong character designs with the central cast. (2) It definitely benefited from the timing of its release. Bleach broke out around the time that Shonen was really stigmatized. It "tonally" felt more mature than Naruto or One Piece. And (3) the Soul Society arc was legit really good. Bleach hit the ground running, which is a problem that a lot of other shonen tended to have. So it continued to ride the waves of good will and after it became apparent that Kubo was a bit of a one-trick pony.

I mean, HxH already is the highest selling manga per volume after One Piece and Attack on Titan. I'd say it's pretty popular

Wait really? And here I was going to make a joke about us getting S3 and the spinoff turning out to be way better.
Now that may actually happen, fuck.
