Quote from Li7hium Also, you complain about the pacing but if anyone gave any thought about it they would come to the conclusion that when the pace slows down it gives the author the opportunity to start thinking about what to do next in the show... If that's true, then Kubo must have been brainstorming for the past 4 years.
I think Doc pointed this out in a previous thread, but the reason why Kubo's pacing is so bad is because he writes for the volumes. When the volumes come out, the storytelling is much more fluid. Now, this would make sense except for the fact that Bleach is a weekly manga. And with it being a weekly manga, the pacing is way off because he's just writing little pieces of the plot that go nowhere and it has to take a volume of those little pieces smashed together for it to make any sense.
Quote from Li7hium I'm sure most of you would easily get hired, after all everyone has so many good ideas but only the author of Bleach has dumb ideas... So it does seem that you have no idea how hard it is to become a writer...
Becoming a writer is one of the hardest things to accomplish mainly because of the audience. Some lesser-known stories are real good, because their audience is smaller and they don't have to cater to so many tastes. But when their stories are able to get shown to a bigger audience, the amount of tastes become bigger and when that happens, they either have to change it in order to please those tastes (Most of the time it's by dumbing the story down) or else they'll get canceled. There may be some people on here who can write a better story than Kubo, but that doesn't mean that it'll keep going until its planned ending without changing it to please the wider audience. So no, we all can't easily become mangaka as you seem to think.
