General Anime/Manga Discussion 14: Second Cour

[Rynjin]

You might be disappointed to learn that Kubo had nothing to do with the Bount arc; It was anime only filler.

Fullbringers were kinda neat in a derivative way. Kinda reminded me of the powers from Yu Yu Hakusho's Chapter Black arc. Then again, praising a series for drawing EVEN MORE on the series that heavily inspired it seems a bad thing to encourage.

But it really wasn't a lack of species that mattered. The aforementioned Yu Yu Hakusho only had three (Humans, Demons, and Spirits) with the latter factoring in basically not at all in the majority of the series.

It's what you DO with what you create that matters, not how much of it. Refer back to the part where Kubo drew a dozen new characters every time he got stuck trying to come up with a plot, and then tried to jam a plot in around them with barely a thought to character or the plot making sense.

Quality is the issue, not quantity.
