BLEACH Creator Tite Kubo is Looking Forward To The Live-Action Movie

Tite Kubo is the creator of the hit manga and anime Bleach. It’s one of the most convoluted stories with one of the most overpowered main characters, but I still love it. I’ve read the entire manga and watched the anime (except for the filler arcs because filler is dumb). A few months ago we were even given a teaser at the live action film being developed in Japan. According to Anime Mojo, Kubo recently talked on a radio show about shutting down Hollywood’s plans for a Bleach film because it “didn’t sit well with him.” However, in that same radio show, Kubo said, “For the Japanese live-action version, I feel that we have come close to the original work[.] I am really looking forward to it."

That gives me a little bit of hope that this won’t be a flop since Kubo does seem to be protective of his work. I am still not getting my hopes too high though with all of the terrible adaptations we’ve gotten. It is worth noting though that this is not being done by a western studio. Maybe that’s been the problem this whole time. Do you think that this adaptation will be different from the failed ones that Hollywood has put out?
