Are you braindead? Bleach's total sales are over 80 million. This easily makes Kubo a millionaire. It's sales declined towards the end but compared to most manga it sold a fuck-load. You dont have to be a fan of the series to know that.

>>161892003
I liked bleach.

I do believe it should have been split into a part 2 after Aizen though. the jump from peak to nothing with the fullbringer arc and calling it the same manga was too jarring and lead to him being rushed and ruining 2 different arcs that had potential if they were fleshed out properly.

>>161893227
I think having Aizen as the main villain for the first ten years or so, even if he was behind the scenes for most of it, sort of made it difficult to continue when they hadn't set up enough other plot.
Other long-running anime series either have a lot of shorter, unrelated villains, or at least build up more sub-plot.
>>
>>161893393
that's exactly why i think bleach should have been separated into a part 2. that way kubo could have taken his time and set up a new plot with his new characters and overall it would have felt more coherent as the 2nd part would really be a new beginning.

Though it was hinted at from the very beginning, Yhwach really should've been introduced into the series as a concept much earlier on.
Maybe a scene just before Ichigo goes hollow for the first time showing a shadowed figure permitting it or some mention about the quincy king lore(though the latter might just make his reveal more predictable)

OP nothing you have even approaches his level of talent. He has more than likely made more in a week than you ever did in a yea, a testament to how talented he is. He made such an impact on you that his real name is imprinted in your mind to the point where you have to create a thread about it. He has so many people worshiping his ideas,concepts,characters and stories that they took time out of their lifespan to expand on it.

The absolute delusion filled pomp that has to be required to fuel writing a series of words like that is amusing but not even close to Tites level of talent compared to your miserable cog-in-the-wheel existence. Here's your (You) you at least get that much for this level of talent compared to that and more which Kubo got for displaying his

"Big 3" was a retarded meme from the start to be honest. In reality it was just "Big One - oh and there are these guys too". OP was selling more than several titles behind it combined for years.

Nothing. It's a term referring to a specific period in WSJ's history, so it will always and forever be One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto.

He dragged out his "Final Arc" for about 6 or 7 years after announcement, to the point that they had to force an end date to make him stop.

He might look back on it and see places where he should have moved the plot along faster or changed elements, but he spent almost half of his run "finishing up." I think he generally considers it a success, at least as a long-term trolling effort.

After reading through Bleach, I concluded that the ending was actually great, not anything leading up to it or the epilogue but the implications. Don't you guys see? People were too obsessed with Orihime winning, that they failed to notice the actual victor of Bleach. Aizen, got what he wanted, a reformed soul society no longer being ruled by the Soul King. Who was it that struck the King down? Ichigo. Why was Ichigo such a special snowflake? Because of Aizen. Aizen's creation went on to change soul society at its core and end the Soul King. If you don't believe me check pic related.

There are several things people could critizise Bleach for, but it often looks like that when it comes to Bleach hate, people are acting especially stupid.

I was really into Bleach in the mid 2000s. But my interest peaked halfway through the Arrancar arc.

There isn't just negative reception. Bleach is still liked by many people. Even at it's lowest, Bleach sold at least 400.000 per volume and one the best selling manga. 400.000 people don't give their money for something they don't like. The hatred for Bleach is based on a vocal minority.

Ah, what a sad delusion. The hatred for Bleach is based on all the former fans it had before it start to shit on itself with retarded plot developments, you delusional retard.

Fuck. Gin was the best thing about this manga. I dropped this after he died. Not intentionally at first. I just kind of had dwindling interest afterward, glazing through a every 10th new chapter or so, until I clearly saw Bleach for what it really was: a used up husk of story, every drop of inspiration dried up to nothing but good art. Liking this character and a couple others really did shine golden light over a shit heap. But eventually they go or can't shine bright enough, and you aren't blinded any longer.

i'm pretty sure Kubo is plenty happy with bleach, just like Toriyama was plenty happy with Dragonball even if he claims he tried everything he could think of to make it so shitty they'd finally cancel it and set him free. Don't see him crying about them still making new shitty Dragonball spinoffs to this day so long as he gets his royalty checks for MUSCULAR MAN SQUATTING AND GRUNTING FOR 10 EPISODES BEFORE PUNCHING A PLANET SO HARD IT EXPLODES.

Bleach isn't some hollywood movie where people go, see the movie and then go on with their lives. It's literally hundreds of chapters that were followed by millions of people. You HAVE to like Bleach in order to keep following/buying it, and given the number of volumes that shit sold, many people were still enjoying Bleach even after many years.

I wouldn't say it was better, but it definitely had a stronger opening year than Bleach did. Honestly you can see where most of Zombie Powder's unresolved hooks just got carried over into Bleach.

Kubo stopped listening to his editors.

I mean it was both a bad and good thing. It did lead him to make the SS arc, but it did mean the real world arc ended early and the rest of the gang never got powers or properly developed. Then he fucked up the Mexico arc then listened to them again in X-cution which turned it into a rushed shitshow
Basically if he had a good editor this could have been something great.
>>
>>161898248
They did release a data book that answered half of those. IchiRuki fags are out of luck, though. Kazui is a cute shota. I'd like a Bleach a Boruto if Kubo doesn't do the plot. Maybe the outline, but someone else writes the details.

They're paid for distribution rights but they don't make money off the actual products they don't make themselves. Japan has always treated entertainment as a products based industry, not an IP industry. The few exceptions are people like Takeuchi Naoko who made a company to handle the distribution of the products and product rights for all her own IP, and also Togashi's if I'm not mistaken.

It's the same reason America fucking loved anime so much in the first place. Japanese companies never had any interest in a foreign market, and largely still don't. When some random people tell them they want to license their product in America, they don't sit there and haggle with them, they take their flat check and add it to the pile of domestic money they already made, and leave the foreigners to their own devices. You'll notice America does not use the same model in reverse. It's why the anime boom happened at all: cheap acquisitions of products that were already 90% finished, that just needed a handful of shitty 2nd string voice actors to dub over with zero royalties to pay to the original creators or even Japanese distributors. The very fact that it's basically theft is half of what motivated Japan to start revising their approach to international IP laws and what killed the US anime industry for a while there before streaming picked up the slack.

Because in my country the editorials say these things.

You're totally envious of him.

Tite Kubo is the contemporary leader, a pop icon of all mangakas.

Hes one of the the most succesful mangakas of all time and Bleach is one of the TOP 3. Its end is not all perfect but the manga have various moments of wonderfulness for a Shounen.

Kubo style is Top 5, his drawings is god tier matched by a few like Toagashi.

>Don't assume that he's happy. He spend 15 years being a voluntary slave. His youth has faded, his looks have faded. His spirit is broken. Bleach has already been forgotten. Was it all worth millions?

He knew what he was getting into when he decided to become a mangaka. A lot of people don't succeed in that profession like he did even with Bleach's decline near the end.

Where was it said that his spirit was broken? Where did it say he was unhappy? As for bleach being forgotten, doesn't it have a successful mobile game and a live action movie coming up?

>it's their fault that the covers are different because the Japanese haven't let them to do this or that
There's a difference between having stipulations on how to handle a property included in a contract, which the foreign publishers agreed to in signing said contract, which is the only way they can enforce those kinds of demands...
>or that they have to pay them more if they want to put the same exact cover
...and having to act as middle man in other separate transactions because the contract the foreign distributor signed was for specific assets that they now want to step outside of because they don't understand the division of distributors rights and they're asking for assets that aren't under the ownership of the company they made the contract with.

It happens most often with older series getting reprinted where the foreign company wants certain cover art, but it technically belongs to a different publisher and the printing rights changed hands at some point, but the foreign company just assumes IP ownership works across the board, which it doesn't.

the sex with a minor and child prostitution charge was what ended his previous manga, not Toriko. Also they actually let him finish that one while in prison instead of just cutting him off. I'm more surprised they picked him back up, but apparently he's a friend of Oda's and they had enough faith in him selling well.

i'm sure he understood what you meant, he's just pointing out that that's not a term. "statutory rape" refers to the legal age of consent upheld by statue nullifying what would otherwise be consent. The only statute on prostitution is that it's illegal, ergo you can't have "statutory prostitution."

again, no it wasn't.

most of the arc comprised of Hitsugaya melodrama faggotry and Ichigo repeatedly asspulling.
same as the rest of the series except worse because Hitsugaya got more focus.

You must have a low standard for twists or endings because the ending was lame and generic and the twist could be seen from a mile away.

I'd reckon even that trash MHA is gonna do a better twist with the traitor thing.

Adapt the story of Can't fear your own world into the final arc. Otherwise less fighting. Outside of that the only issue would be the pacing, but maybe that could be solved by cutting the number of Sternritter to about 16.

>>161934007
That's only for the final arc though. FKT and Deicide have too many problems. Those need a complete rewrite.

>>

there was.

Yhwach was made the new soul king because its essence was merged with his corpse.

The shinigami were originally planning on backstabbing Ichigo, chopping him up and using him as the replacement which implies the soul king and Yhwach might be part everything like Ichigo.

the soul king was imprisoned by the shinigami and used as the foundation for their corrupt system.

Also that even as the soul king Yhwach still isn't dead and probably possessed Kazui in the last chapter of the manga.

>Remove most of the characters
Who would you remove?

I'd remove the shitters who are the most obnoxious and had equally obnoxious fanbases like Hitsugaya, Yoruichi, Ulquiorra, Rukia etc

>Do you think Kubo ever regrets writing bleach?
I sure hope so.

Underaged pls go. Bleach was the top selling manga and anime around 2004-2009

>Orihime being turned into a hollow and then being put down by Ichigo would be cool too
You're just an edgy sick fuck so catch a chapter of Hunta Hunta and Tokyo's Fool for that.

>who conveniently forgets about the great moments in said arcs
>Everything Aizen did
>Everything Gin did
>Everything Yamamoto did
>Hisagi vs Findor
>Ichigo vs Ulquiorra
>Hachigen & Soi Fon vs Barragan
>Kyoraku vs Stark
>Komamura vs Kaname
>Aizen vs Everyone

There's other stuff but you get the point.

>There are more things in life than just money
Only faggots say dumb shit like this.

>If there's one thing his money can't buy him, it's respect
Yeah about that, I respect him and many others and yes you can buy respect from people dumbass.

>You're just an edgy sick fuck
But that was what the arc was supposedly leading to till it got dropped for lolmugetsu and captain shilling

>Only faggots say dumb shit like this
Agreed.

>yes you can buy respect from people dumbass
Well not genuine respect.

>Implying every series ever made never had a convenient powerup for the last arc battle and that the war shouldn't include the fucking shinigami

I have no clue where you thought the arc was going to get edgy but reread it because you fucked up.

>>161892003
nah, the first few years were great, though. Getting stuck in Skelly Mexico saving Orihime for years on end killed my love for the series, though

>Well not genuine respect
Of course it's fake but it depends on what you're buying to actually get the real thing.

>It's impossible for him to be wealthy or happy, because I don't like his manga!
Nigger, you're literally just bitter and jealous. Fuck, I dislike Bleach as well, but I don't see why that would also mean I need to pretend like his life got ruined over it to make me feel better.

You've got a major, major case of sour grapes.
