I feel sorry for him... yes, it's disappointing as a fan, but at the same time, he's been working on Bleach for HOW long now? He might be sick to death of it himself and waffling because he has no freaking clue what to do or how to end it. xD
It's been 11 years, but I don't see that as an excuse. One Piece has been running for 15 (!) and it's still strong. And it's OBVIOUS Kubo has no idea what to do, which is one of my complaints. He seems to fly by the seat of his pants and it makes the whole thing look shoddy.
Haha. Even if he doesn't know what to do, his editors probably always ride his ass to pop out those chapters anyway. xD Maybe he's in a panic. Or I dunno, maybe he thinks he's a genius. :D
I wonder about his editors sometimes, like, shouldn't one of them be asking him what he thinks he's doing, or point out the gaping holes in the narrative? But I have no idea what the mangaka-editor relationship is like. And I know it must be unconscionably stressful to have to put out a chapter every week, even with assistants and all, but my grudge remains.
"...maybe he thinks he's a genius." He actually might. Pictures I've seen of him, he looks like he thinks he's the shit, with his bleached hair and sunglasses and muffin top. XP
* *flails* I have no words for the content of your letter, except to state that every single line you wrote seems to resonate with my heart. A troubled heart it is when it comes to Bleach.
What also troubles me is that I am one of the few who don't sit by and accept everything KT delivers lately. I feel like I am raining on people's parade, you know? It's a weird feeling. For me Bleach is sort of broken, I cannot bring myself to invest many emotions in it anymore. I simply cannot.
Do you feel the same or is that just my weird way of thinking?
We are disappointed Bleach soul mates, you and I. *pats you* It's not just your weird way of thinking, and I don't think we're the only disillusioned ones. I urge you to vent about it to me any time you feel like it, because you will get nothing but the sincerest sympathy from me. You may be certain that you will not rain on my parade (not that I'm exactly having a Bleach parade right now; I'm more planning for its funeral).
Not being really involved in the fandom outside of my few Bleach pals on LJ, I can't really say if I'm "one of the few," but maybe a lot of manga readers aren't as discerning as we are. Kubo has turned Bleach into a travesty and I don't know why. Has he lost interest in his own story? I have no idea. I barely even felt any connection to Shuuhei--SHUUHEI, whom I adore--this week because of Kubo's hackish work. And even though I still like Kenpachi (even after learning about his supposed Shikai or Bankai or whatever in one of the novels) and was rather glad to see him, I recognize his appearance in the manga for
