Comment from Series Creator, Tite KuboTite Kubo explains his deep involvement in the development of BLEACH Mirror’s High:”For this project, I have been involved from the kickoff meeting and worked on the title, scenario, and character designs. As for character designs, I got so excited working on them and ended up doing more than what was requested
For the logo design, I wanted to come up with something that resembles my style. I made it simple, yet something that will leave an impression the moment you see it
I sat in on the audition and also took part in the recording sessions, so the characters turned out just as I imagined. The story is partly related to the main scenario of the comics, so I hope you look forward to that too.”
