He just recovered from his 10 year Japanese cold and is fattening up.

>anime got cancelled
No evidence to prove that. It just ended.
>forced to rush the end of the manga
It wasn't rushed. Kubo's health deteriorated so it unfortunately hindered his work, but he got it done.
>least successful of the big 3
The Big 3 is a myth invented by Gaia. There never was such a thing as the Big 3 in Japan. In Japan, Bleach is on the same level of popularity and success as Gintama. It's popular, but nowhere near as popular as One Piece or Naruto. People were overestimating Bleach's success and popularity.
>mostly forgotten already
Says who?
>How do you think he feels?
Satisfied that he powered through and finished it despite his poor health. He admitted the flaws of his own work and hopes to return later with the lessons he's learned.
>What has he been doing nowadays?
Enjoying married life with his wife. What are you doing with your life besides being a grumpy fuck shitposting on 4chan?

He's been working out to keep a healthy HEART

t. I can't come up with a proper rebuttal for these arguments so I'll just shitpost instead.

>>156696538
Lol, those are the lousiest arguments I've ever seen

>No evidence to prove that. It just ended.
Ended before covering the whole story of the manga, namely:it got cancelled.

>It wasn't rushed. Kubo's health deteriorated so it unfortunately hindered his work, but he got it done.
Namely, he had to rush it because of his health

>>156696759
>Ended before covering the whole story of the manga, namely:it got cancelled.
It was all caught up with the manga and by the time they finished adapting the Fullbring arc, the Thousand Year Blood War arc had literally just got started. Pierrot wasn't gonna make more filler arcs so they decided to just end it.
>Namely, he had to rush it because of his health
That's what I mean. The other anon said that Jump was rushing him when in reality Kubo had to cut corners due to his deteriorating

>>156695142
>forced to rush
>still very slow passed with not much happening and nothing being explained

there is a reason why he's least successful.

>>156695142
>>anime got cancelled
No, it ended. But most likely won't resume again.
>>forced to rush the end of the manga
He wasn't forced, he rushed it himself. He took way too much time with the new bathc of characters and then he had no choice but to wrap up what he could because of his health problems worsening
>>least successful of the big 3
That's not a bad thing, considering it's JUMP
>>mostly forgotten already
Eh

>How do you think he feels?
Done with that shit, probably better, both mentally and physically.

>What has he been doing nowadays?
Probably finally having time to give fucks to her wife and his marriage

That's what I mean. The other anon said that Jump was rushing him when in reality Kubo had to cut corners due to his deteriorating health. Kubo manned up and finished Bleach, but had to cuts corners. Kubo and Shonen Jump admitted it in interviews.

It was in the top 3 ranking with op and naruto for a decade and merch sales were over $100 million each year until the anime ended.
You're underestimating it

>Kubo and his wife

>>156695142
feels bad. kind of wish he'd gotten to do a monthly instead but goddamn do I hate waiting on monthly runs. it was a good start to a story and some cool shit happened though so thanks for the ride.

but seriously, that last arc man, that was some stupid shit going on.

The mobage is still making good money, and there talks of a bleach game for the ps4, I guess he still is good to go for a while.

I remember reading Zombiepowder and wishing he'd eventually return to it. Shit got hype right before it went on permanent hiatus.

At this point, Kubo may not even remember how to make low-key stories.

>>156701873
You mean the asspulls are amazing. The fact that not even /a/ can ever correctly guess what kind of bullshit Kubo will pull out next is what makes it a wild ride.

At least Bleach was more successful than InuYasha was, right? How does the manga/anime revenue compare between the two, anyway?

>>156695142
Probably searching for places to stash all that Madoka merchandise money that keeps being thrown his way.

>anime got cancelled
Not true. The TV stations, fans and anime studio all want a new season of Bleach.
>forced to rush the end of the manga
His own fault for not renewing the contract. This was his choice.
>least successful of the big 3
Yeah dude, only 98 million sold.
>mostly forgotten already
Tell that to the fans who instantly make Bleach trend on social media every time even a snippet of new info surfaces. Or the anons still crying and saying they want more, and that they miss Bleach.

Kubo is enjoying the married life with his wife and having a shitload of money.
I think there were rumors he was sick, but he might've just had a kid and had even less time for those grueling 1 day a week he spent drawing cool poses and ignoring his background assistant's pleas to let him draw something.

and nobody has forgotten the excellent array of Tites that Bleach boasted. He stands there with Mashima and Oda.

>>156707349
mayuri is his fav character after all
his twitter pic proves it

Imagine another 15 years of bleach, I don't blame the man for chickening out of dedicating his whole life to a mediocre manga.

At least there were some cute traps at the end

>>156708221
His health was going to shit, that's the only reason he stopped when he did. Jump renews contracts for 3 years at a time. He probably didn't want to keep going for 3 more years.

>>156708414
yeah no wonder bambeta wanted to suck the D.

>>156696538
As someone who used to love Bleach at some point in life, KEK. Just accept it sinked anon. Bleach was a mistake

>>156695142
>forced to rush the end of the manga

He did it himself, because one of his fans was dying from cancer and he wanted to finish work before he dies so he rushed ending the way he wanted it look like. Tho he still wasn't been able to make it in time and kid died one day before he finished it or something like that. According to Kubo.

>What has he been doing nowadays?

Starring in Gay Porn, probably

>>156710311
>Tho he still wasn't been able to make it in time and kid died one day before he finished it
He did him a favor desu

>>156710311
he managed to find the dead kid after all?

>>156695142
He's preparing his new manga about a ghost busting fashion designer.

Which had the better ending, the manga or the anime?

Ugly as it is, the top one is almost forgivable since it has almost zero traced lines. Just overall composition copying.

>>156695584
People who think that Kubo is super rich are stupid. You forget that Japanese animators and mangaka work for food usually? Of course a more popular author receives some payment but it's not even close to what western authors can get.

>>156712460
If Kubo isn't rich Idk how 90% of the manga industry manage to not starve.

Will he be a one hit wonder?

So many mangaka make one good series and everything else after it is subpar. They can never break free from it so they end up doing one shots and spin offs.

>Welp these titles didn't do so good better do nothing but Rurouni until I die

>>156712460
He got lucky and made a hit, of couse he got paid. Success is sucess and mediocrity is failure.
