“Won’t I have to write a continuation?” he thought, but eventually decided to do so because he “wanted to see the anime.” At least he’s honest. As an anime being developed before the manga was even properly published, it was always an unusual production – we deserved some answers.Īs it turns out, Kubo received the offer for a Burn the Witch anime shortly after the initial one-shot was published, and was naturally taken aback. In the second part of the interview, Tite Kubo and Tatsurou Kawano discuss the development of the Burn the Witch OVA. Producing the Burn the Witch Anime Wasn’t Easy He just thought that it would be London “from the beginning,” and Kawano reckons that it might have something to do with both Britain and Japan being island nations. When asked by Kawano why the west branch turned out to be London, Kubo couldn’t really come up with a concrete answer. I had discarded it, but picked it up again this time around.” “ Bleach’s shinigami actually operate in the East Branch of the Soul Society, so as soon as I brought out that concept I thought ‘If there’s an east branch, there must be a west branch, too.’ But Bleach turned out to be quite a grand story, so there was no reason for me to touch upon that idea then. He was a little taken aback at first, but eventually settled on exploring the Soul Society West Branch. Yet, his editor remarked that he “wanted to see something related to Bleach” and so Kubo thought. Much like Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro and Kazuki Takahashi, Kubo was asked to draw a one-shot for the Weekly Shonen Jump 50th anniversary. Like many fans, I was confused when it was announced that the 2018 one-shot would be getting an anime adaptation, but Kubo explains a little bit how this happened. Sitting across from director Tatsurou Kawano, the Bleach creator revealed some surprising truths – including the fact that Burn the Witch season 2 might not be coming any time soon.īut first, Tite Kubo talked in the interview about how Burn the Witch first came about. So far, they’ve conducted interviews between the main voice actors, production staff, and now Tite Kubo himself.
