    i'm afraid i can't do that pip

    we're just gonna have to duel to the death

    also only serious complaint about beastars is it could use more haru. because haru is basically always great.

    So it'll be one or two episodes for Burn the Witch? Or are they doing a series with no manga content, and instead just writing original anime scripts?

    Burn the Witch is getting serialized as well as an anime. What that's probably going to do to pacing can only be described as hilarious.

    As I understand it editorial and hard focus on character polls really pushed the story in ways he didnt want to go.
    Maybe thats been resolved?

    Stupid character polls and bad editors resolved? I super doubt it. Those are lifer issues for Jump.

    I thought Kubo as a guy just liked short-form stories more so as he was forced to do a long form serialization he got fed up and literally started putting in less effort because he ended up hating doing Bleach.

    Like Kubo seems like a guy who should just be an artist for other people's works so he doesn't have to deal with as much of the industry he dislikes.

    Kubo says he will be playing Animal Crossing by the time the anime comes out, which makes me think he's been slowly working on it pre-serialization.

    Unless new Bleach anime will get it's ending completely rewritten, I don't know what will even be the point of this adaptation, as it is simply a horrendous conclusion to the story.

    Just, nothing works, at all.

    It really needed to end with Aizen getting beaten, imo, and go into epilogue after that. It definitely suffered from a push to keep having more stuff going on.

    From what I've heard the last arc was absurdly bloated and dragged out (with a bad guy for every letter of the alphabet), but then the ending was super rushed because Kubo had health issues and had to end it now now now. So the worst of both worlds.

    Aizen beaten, Ichigo depowered, world is saved and returns to normal, cut and wrap right there.

    The main problem is that New Big Bad had something like 30 new antagonists in his army, and the only ones that were cool were the Scarecrow wannabe one, and Askin. everyone else was boring, powers were bullshit, and fights had no meaning.

    Also, fights went completely bonkers, in a "oh, you have God's powers? Good thinkg I bring out my God Slaying Special Sword today!" kind of way to explain how those people could even be defeated.

    I respect series that actually finish in a shortish amount of time.

    Yu Yu is only 19 volumes! (Which is still a bit but also not that much!)

    Monster is 18 volumes.

    Death Note is 12!

    Cross Game is 8!

    I am packing to move currently, which is why I am aware of these numbers.

    Surpisingly I was able to sell 23 volumes of Initial D pretty quick, I thought that would be the hard one to get rid of but I had about fifteen people respond to the ad.

    People mocked the Ninja War in Naruto but at least that brought back every character we ever knew or had heard of vaguely. Instead of inventing a brand new "strongest ever" faction out of thin air like Bleach did. Or to correct that phrasing, the faction itself was well established, but every character in it was brand new and complete bullshit.

    the ninja war had the exact same problem, in that it created a villain that was literally stronger than everybody combined and effectively took a deus ex machina to defeat

    and then it introduced moon lady who was super secret even stronger than said previous god-like being

    basically the only good things ninja war produced were night guy and obito/keikashi fight and sasuke finally deciding to not be a worthless fuckboy after 4700 episodes

    The new strongest guy was the inventor of the entire system who'd been hinted at throughout the series. Part 1 of Naruto ends with Naruto and Sasuke battling on top of a statue commemorating
    a famous fight that guy had. Then the end of Part 2 is actually fighting that guy. That's a GREAT final villain choice. The moon monster villain is basically your JRPG trope where the heroes have to kill God or the source of all magic or entropy or whatever. Unnecessary, but a threat big enough to justify redeeming whatever villains you'd like to redeem before curtain call.

    Bleach's final arc starts out with a good idea. "Remember that whole faction the good guys EXTERMINATED in the backstory? Some survived and they're justifiably pissed!" Yeah, that's a good idea. But then instead of the fight being about the morality of the factions and in some way resolving or changing the world system (something that Naruto is all about) it's instead about "these guys have literally unbeatable high numbers AND they get to steal all your numbers. So every character has to learn a new special move to beat the new numbers. ... yup, that's all this is going to be."
