I didn't think it was good, and Bleach was probably the one I liked the most out of the big 3 during its best parts. But well, I guess it atleast deserves the respect to get a full adaptation.
Yeah, I mean, personally I got a laugh out of the whole thing mostly because of the irony of it being axed in the same issue they announced Kubo's return, but this whole thing has gone a bit overboard I feel like. Can't say I liked the series, though, because I really didn't, but that's another matter.
The arc was around 220 chapters long. I'd say the first 100 chapters were great with the first 50 of the 100 being everything what Bleach fans wanted it to be. Hype levels were through the roof throughout those 50 chapters from the fights and revelations and it was indeed the best way to start the arc. Portrayed the threat of the war just like how it should've been.
Kubo actually said after year after the end of Bleach that he kept going for longer until he had reached the conclusion he was satisfied with.
JK Rowling loves fanfics and parodies, she'd probably try to make it canon somehow.
I know he said that, but I'm not sure I completely believe him.
Personally I thought a shitton of stuff that happened just made no sense whatsoever, starting from the very beginning of the arc. Quincies being the enemies just felt kind of weird because they just did not feel threatening at all throughout the series (like, the last time they were even actually somewhat strong was when Uryu fought Mayuri, and that was supposed to be like peak Quincy since he could absorb unlimited reiatsu from his surroundings in the SS), and when they appeared and just started
I’d probably be really hyped, not gonna lie. I’ll probably get the same way with Demon Slayer... unless Shueisha wants Gotouge back for another hit as soon as possible, but as we’re seeing now, that isn’t a guarantee.
Not just the bankai reveal. The way to beat Ywach was just rushed through as well. It's very clear Kubo rushed through the final few chapters and I'm very sure it's because he fucked up his timeline on what he told WSJ about when the series is ending. Sorachi kept delaying the end because the series went longer than he thought it would. Kubo probably just thought "Fuck it" and finished it.
Well keep in mind that this was all suppose to announced at a convention on this week anyway. So probably just a weird coincidence
Certainly, although the pace had increased in the last chapters, when reading chapter 42, Kishimoto continues to add new information that seems to have to be relevant for later.
Worse yet some of those people are starting to say that the same thing wouldn't have happened with Kubo because he's a better mangaka...
