well in Soul Eater's case they adapted a different manga, but a final act for Bleach would be great, they could even fill in some of the stuff Kubo couldn't put in do to Jump rushing him.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the 2nd half of Huecdo Mundo and the Fullbring arcs or things like character relationships not being properly developed, was do to Kubo being rushed to finish them. Not because Kubo dropped the ball or simply got lazy.

I actually agree with you on Fullbringer hilariously enough (I don't defend that arc) but this was a comment about the last part of the final arc which was rushed

Much rather prefer a story on how spoiler[Ichigo X Orihime] happened. Interested in the Shuhei story.

There we go.

Anyone that thinks Rukia and Ichigo liked each other has probably only watched the anime that was FULL of fillers with Ichigo and Rukia(even in canon episoes) while cutting interactions between Orihime and Ichigo. Either that or you've never read shonen manga before

Oh please, I've reread the manga enough times and Kubo always gives a lot more weight to the Ichigo/Rukia relationship. He just does, the the way he presents their interactions and their progress - they have a mutual relationship and Orhimes feelings are perpetually one sided. People who ignore this are blind - or willfully ignorant. Which makes sense, because at the start of the series Orihime is a friend of a friend and Rukia changes his life.

Ichi/Ruki was the main ship in Japan for a reason ya know?

Personal preference aside, the problem is that the development of Ichi/hime is badly written. You can see how Ichigo and Rukia get closer because they are given lots of time to do so - Ichigo and Orihime never have that...now you can say 'Bleach wasn't a romance ' till you are blue in the face but the fact of the matter is that it included romantic elements. Kubo could have just avoided the subject entirely, but instead he made a mess of it.

And before you give me any counter examples...literally every bit of Ichi/hime development is one-sided from Orihimes viewpoint. I don't think Ichigo has a single thought about her beyond maybe 'I gotta save her' at some point in HM.

That's why a lot of people don't care for the relationship, that's why it's badly written.

This is a lot like NaruHina becoming canon vs. NaruSaku. If Kishi and Kubo had the ships planned from the start, they would have developed them a lot better.

One thing that could have been better is if both Kubo and Kishi left the ending ambiguous for who the main guys end up with.
