I feel a reasonable level of sympathy for Kubo after watching this. If you don't pay attention to anything about Shonen Jump but the chapters themselves, it's so hard to see anyone but the author at fault. Having given it some more thought, it probably wasn't him alone that made the series peter out. Whatever the reason, it seemed like he got into a very poor relationship with his editors, and felt a crippling blow to his passion for the series. I don't know what he could've done differently to make things turn out better, if anything, but I do know that when you find yourself hating what you love, you just don't want to do anything like you used to.
I'm at least glad that I followed through to the end of the series now, if nothing else in deference to someone who's undoubtedly a very talented artist, and to the glory his series used to encapsulate. It really is a shame that things panned out the way they did, I went through my teenage years following Bleach, and I loved it so much. It deserved better.
Nope.
If other manga artists are able to write decent manga, he has no excuse. He was probably also paid handsomely, at least compared to other manga authors.
It sucked because he was too lazy to think up better ideas and couldn't be bothered doing any quality work for fans. Hating what you love means you should've committed suicide earlier, not drag stuff out for the purposes of money grabbing.

I guess the poetic way would be to say commit seppuku, although that is even more gruesome than general methods of suicide. And yes, I do mean to the series, it should have died like the Captain Commander.
TLDR: A sick kid reader who has passed on wants Tite to write Manga the way the author wanted, follow his heart sorta thing. Tite Kubo was touched and went the way any main char in a Shonen manga would do.
Every single character seems oddly familiar as if I have seen them all before. Every single face in every single panel feels like I have seen it drawn before. To be fair though he has drawn a million characters in Bleach, and I guess he can make up another million nonsensical superpowers. Who knows, it could be great. I can feel the passion..
eh, its not bad, yes kubo still doesn't do backgrounds, for a oneshot it was nice and it has enough references to it being in the same universe as bleach.

most manga artists have characters that look similar or same in their other works, its pretty hard for anyone to randomly change up their style.
Here we are, five years later.... Maybe Kubo thought up some new ideas during this time. Always wondered what he was going to do with Hell, if it weren't for the premature ending. The concept was only glossed over in a couple of chapters and expanded in what was probably a non-canon movie.
Hope this doesn't end up like Boruto. Let the edgy violence commence.
I dont think I need to see any more of Kubos ideas for Bleach, I think I've seen more than enough weird bird jesus and giant viking wrestler magic nuttiness
Lets not forget the giant viking wrestler is actually the heart of a limbless body in a crystal that somehow rules society despite being an inanimate object, and hand is just that, a walking hand. Also they are Quincies. And Nemu dies, but is revived by being raped while dead and this is played off as funny. Yeah I think I don't want to see what new ideas Kubo has for Bleach. probably involves spilling his inkpot across every page anyways.
