Like I said, he still should have artistic integrity regardless of how hard it is. I mean, if he is milking the series then why the hell should I support it? It's kinda a slap in the face of people that put out their content that put their heart into.

My problem with Shonen Jump is that their material always lack creativity and lack original ideas, but hell that's my problem with anime in general. (Maybe it's the oversaturation of anime or the decline in sales.) Blame it on their work schedule, but whatever the case may be, I just can't get into Shonen Jump's material and I think most of their newer material is sub-par at best.

I see where you're coming from. He dedicated his life to manga probably has no plan B, and probably has a family to feed, I don't know, but either way, it's how the main stream world works.

Is Pokemon still running?

Hollywood Bleach Movie Confirmed

A Hollywood movie adaptation of interminable Shonen Jump manga Bleach is said to be underway, causing much distress amongst fans fearing another DragonBall or Akira style “adaptation” of a manga classic.
According to the reports, Warner Brothers and Viz Media have concluded a movie contract, and Peter Segal (director of such classics as “Get Smart” and “50 First Dates” and said to be a fan of the series) is likely to be directing.
The adaptation itself would be of the manga rather than the anime, although there are no details as to how faithful to the original it will be.
The adaptation was initially mooted in 2010, but only recently has production been confirmed. Mangaka Tite Kubo has apparently yet to comment on the development.
Given the less than stellar record of Hollywood anime and manga adaptations, there is a certain amount of scepticism as to whether this latest effort will be any different – although optimists point to the possibility of seeing Kubo sulking if it fails dreadfully.

Please don't ask me where I got this, because the site I read it on is cringe worthy as fuck. I also believe that Tite Kubo is lenient as fuck. Even when his entire work was plagiarized by the son of the leader of rock band "KISS".

Anyways, if this is old news let me know, just read about it now. Also read that Bleach has ended, guess that means I have to read from where I left off.

Edit: Only the anime has ended, my bad.

I swear, Gintama is the most underrated anime ever made. Just on comedy alone it is a masterpiece.

I knew Gene Simmon's kid was an unimaginative prick, but damn he didn't even try to hide the fact that he ripped off Bleach. He just blatantly threw it out there.

Yes, but there are plenty of mainstream mangaka who want to make their work, their own. They have a set plan for their manga. Regardless of how fans feel and the sales and profit they receive.

BTW, what does that say about the guy who rips off a manga (Bleach) that's not that very good?

I can't really speak for anyone but myself, but I do feel that there is a vast amount of people who really enjoy Naruto. He openly admitted what inspired him to make the Manga, story and characters, and wanted it to appeal the same demographic that he was apart of. He became very successful with this manga, and I can't tell what his integrity is from than right up until now.

After catching up on the new Last Exile series, it got me thinking, is there any good fighter pilot anime out there? I assume not seeing as like the only car anime out there in like 15 years seems to be Initial D and Wangan Midnight.

I could be way off since it's been forever since I've seen the series, but wasn't the Macross series a decent mix of plane combat and mech stuff?

As for the shonen talk, all I can say is as long as Naruto, One Piece and Fairy Tail stay away from the nonsense that Dragonball (GT) and Bleach fell into ( A 10 year story arc? Really? And you wonder why the anime got cancelled? ) and continue to entertain me, I think the mangaka of each have nothing to worry about.

BTW, since it's fairly new, when compared to the others, how do you think Fairy Tail will turn out when all is said and done?
