Yep, both because of Togashi's health and because his wife, the creator of Sailor Moon, also started filling in with the art.

Nah, he walked off, right past Gon, and went into the wider world. So he's out there, somewhere. I think he was the very first Ant to regain his human consciousness.
Yea, he's obviously finally allowed or asked her for help drawing the series. He was always really adamant about doing it all himself.
It does, yeah, though mostly because of Togashi's health.
A bigger issue is that Togashi's not that good at comic art. The panelling and composition is pretty lacking, and it leans too much into text, so a lot of the action and characterization's going to fall flat if you can't get used to it and look past it.
To be fair, she's also really busy working on the new Sailor Moon projects and whatnot. I get him not wanting to push more work onto him.
In fact, iirc, they met because she worked on Hunter x Hunter as an assistant, but quit because the work was too much.

Damn. I need to get back on track with my rewatch.
Shojo manga Bisky is so kawaii.
Maybe he should pay Tite Kubo in food and get him to draw HxH for him?
Wait what? Is HxH that popular that she needed to work as an assistant for it? This post Sailor Moon?
Kubo's composition got pretty crap too! The art's pretty detailed and pretty, but it's mostly panels of blank space and generic poses. Early Bleach art's a lot less detailed, but it's a lot nicer to look at as a whole.
See also: Kishimoto's art. Early Naruto's just better.
But yeah, "the guy who made Yu Yu Hakusho is starting a new series" was a really big deal.

I think she was an assistant in the sense of "this is a new big manga and we need help managing stuff and getting started with the art".
But yeah, "the guy who made Yu Yu Hakusho is starting a new series" was a really big deal.
Togashi famously wants to do it all himself, apparently his health either stopped allowing for that altogether or he finally asked her for help. I mean, maybe she's looking for a little something to do during the day herself and she doesn't want the stress of her own series.

I wonder if the next unrelated series being a big deal will happen with Kishimoto or Kubo...probably most definitely not Kubo since that last thing I saw him do was cosplaying. Kishimoto? Maybe The ending of Naruto in manga form did leave a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. I liked Naruto Gaiden though.
Probably beats watching Japanese soap operas...
The pitch: Ok so they're like cyborgs but they don't really do anything or act like cybrogs after the intial set up. Oh and they have fucking crazy robot eyes.

You just know he's reading HxH trying to figure out a new way to steal the same shit without people noticing.

I will at least give Oda that. Bleach wasn't even a good YYH copy, even YYH didn't stay stagnant. From what I hear Kubo came off as a guy that didn't know how to plot his series out. I'll admit Togashi flies by the seat of his pants a bit, but he's damn good at doing this.
tbh, if Bleach remained a slice-of-life-y supernatural mystery series, it would've been one of my favorite series ever.
I feel like Togashi's the kind of guy who seriously plans ahead but also throws in whatever shit he wants to talk about.

I always need to be reminded of what Bleach was like before it went super shonen. I love HxH with how random it is at times. "I'm going to explain to you how to buy and sell at an auction. Now pay attention, it'll be vital later." Jojo is also pretty funny with that kind of thing but we all know that when Araki does it it's usually not plot relevant. Mostly just Araki talking about stuff from his past in a way or subtly dropping his love for horror movies.

I find it funny that people think Nen randomly just got broken. It's always been a bit crazy, it just eventually went into Stand territory once Togashi got more creative with the mechanic. There's a reason Nen and Stands are my favorite mechanics.

For sure! They are mine, too
Alright, lemme tell you just this so as to not go into spoiler territory - you can read the end of chapter 203, and around the middle of chapter 204 for said 'forgotten' plot point.
Also maybe chapter 102 for additional stuff about the Phantom Troupe which neither of the anime delved into
...Also, I think I am seeing some near-MAL-level posts in that thread. Eek!

Can't disagree with that. I also love how he smugly puts away the money
And I do enjoy the tune to Tetra Master...though I cannot understand how that game works at all

Technically Lupin Part 5.
On the subject of Bleach, it wasn't necessarily unpopular perse, but by the end of its run it kept appearing at the bottom of WSJ reader polls and the tv series got canned.
I want to say the manga volume sells were still good.

Thats whats confusing me atm, people keep saying its part 5 but its continuation from their adventures in part 4 in another country and hes still wearing the blue jacket. so its more of a season 2 then another part.
Thought so, so its just a bunch of fan speculation then hard numbers.

When a Jojoke goes too far...
I mean, it still got cancelled. That probably had more to do with how Kubo was dragging it out than anything else though.
They gave him a final arc to wrap it all up and he takes like 5 years to do it with no end in sight. Can't really blame them at that point.
JadedWriter
Member
Wait they gave him five years? I thought they just sprung it on him
No, reportedly they gave him a chance to end on his terms. The final arc was announced as the final arc, so he was clearly given the opportunity to end it his way. Five years later there's no end in sight (he kept creating new enemies for everyone to fight and the arc kept stretching on) and the series got canned at that point. Not all that hard to draw conclusions from the situation.

I guess a bucket full of plankton could write better than Kubo.
I don't buy "health issues". Sure being a manga artist is a strain, but if Kubo was really as sick as he claimed, he wouldn't have rushed it this way. Yeah, it was more likely cancelled. The fact it was so unceremonious compared to Naruto and Kochikame lends credence to that.
I mean, there is a way he could have ended it on short notice that would have transformed Bleach into a trolling masterwork that makes Haruhi's Endless Eight look like child's play, but sadly he did not take that route.
Yea, I never really bought that either. If he was just sick they would have let him go on hiatus like with Togashi or give him a few weeks off to recover like with Oda. They totally just got sick of him dragging it out.
Kubo could've made one hell of a fashion designer.
I can believe that his health issues were a factor, but it still was his decision to have Bleach end the way that it did.

They also announced new Leiji Matsumoto movies! Woo!
Here.
IIRC, the volume sales were considered bad since they were stable and unchanging, so Bleach wasn't getting any new fans like the other big series were. But yeah, fair.

I was talking about the bleach speculation but good to know what Kishi's next project is going to be. I thought he was doing a soccer series atm?
Pretty sad subject to bring up here. CabooseJr retweeted this an hour ago but the creator of the "We call it Toonami" documentary passed away of unknown causes.

Speaking of Bleach, that live action movie is still happening and Ichigo looks like cosplay.

I hope Doomfist is more fun to play than most post launch Overwatch characters.
Looking at you Sombra.
And Orisa.
