The need to aim at these first hand
the reason they want to do bleach is because it's popular. the anime titles you mentioned aren't as popular as bleach. they're only well-known among anime fans but the likes of bleach and naruto have gone further from that. even their merchandising is a big business among the western audience. they're popular among kids and adults alike. akira and ninja scroll are considered classics just like ghost in the shell (which was actually used as an inspiration for the matrix), so it's not hard to believe that they caught the attention of big hollywood producers. while death note's plot is unusual and revolutionary so naturally hollywood would try to milk that one too. i won't be surprised if they set their eyes on naruto next.
