| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, it looks like Nizuma-kun is not so perfect at all as he has shown his weakness at making his manga more enjoyable for the readers, but he ends up fixing his habit thanks to Mashiro and the new character Shinta. There were also so much new facts to learn about keys to the success of shounen manga. Anyway, I wonder what Mashiro will learn from Nizuma in the next episode. :D |
 |
| Nakai is awesome! -NOT hahahahahaha I liked this new guy, Fukuda. I was really wondering who the heck was that white-haired being, and me thinking that Bakuman was realistic xD Speaking of which, Eiji is starting to remind me of Rock Lee, I think it's his excitement... and the hair. haha It was nice to see them getting along well ^^ Before, I thought Eji was weid and mean, but now I see he's just weird! /o/ Waiting to see who's the girl at the ending... NO SPOILER PLZ |
| To tell the truth, I think only the refined character design stands out in this anime. Not everyone can be the one they wish and the discussions about comics are only ordinary ones. However, the stance of four comic artists in this episode is interesting even though the setting is old-fashioned. Rivals boost s each other as non-zero-sum game even though they are playing the musical chairs to get the positions of serial publication. It was a quite crisp story. |
| Pretty good considering that they helped another person I felt bad for that guy 33 years old and yet his dreams didnt come true,..well im sure he'll get around and do something great overall this episode for me was average |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| good ep seeing Eji in action is one my fav parts in this show. |
 |
| Finally, Fukuda! I've been dying to see him animated. And Nakai gets in the spotlight. Can't help but feel sorry for him. Eiji is awesome as well. Really enjoyed this episode. For once, I can vaguely see where they will end this season. An episode or two more will help if what I think is true. Come on, introduce Aoki Ko already, she's been in the ending song for weeks now :3 |
 |
| Eiji is cute and weird haha XD |
| I loved this episode. I would like more Shuujin, though. ^__^ |
| I think that this episode's been better than a lot of the other ones. o uo We got to learn more about Nizuma and Fukuda was also a really interesting character. |
 |
| Mashiro sounds more like a "pro" when he assists Eiji. I'm fond of Eiji's way of draw (his moves etc..) |
| I wonder how Kubo's workplace is like... |

| This may have been the only episode where I didn't want to punch Moritaka in the face =D Eiji is so enjoyable to watch, haha. |
| 頭脳は子供、見た目は大人！ ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ |
| Fukuda was half awesome, but picking on Nakai was pretty mean even if it was the truth. God, that was a great episode. I can't believe i am swallowing them helping their rivals, but this show has just convinced me it is always right somehow... |
| Helping their rivals so they can all do well and change "jack". Have been waiting for the rivals to appear for a while now, next few weeks are going to be great. |
 |
| I feel sorry for Nakai especially during the scene when he weeped by himself. Can't decide whether Fukuda was putting him down or trying to help Nakai rebuilt his fighting spirit. |
| That silver hair is to die for! Fukuda is cool! And Nakai just getting roasted on the spot. |
| Loved this episode. I hope after this Mashiro and Takagi can make something fantastic. I noticed there appears to be a female manga artist in the ending, I desperately want to see her (too many males drawing manga in this show). |
| brilliant episode.. |
| I wasn't expecting young characters with white hair. xD Good episode! I like how they developed the side characters a little. |
belatkuro said: HawthorneKitty said: Bet he doesn't have assistants to do his backgroundsI wonder how Kubo's workplace is like... It's not like Bleach doesn't have backgrounds because Kubo can't afford them, it's just that it's his style and he doesn't want to have backgrounds. |
 |
| Takagi didn't show up much this episode :( |
| Niizuma & Fukuda~~ <3~ |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I was prepared to not like Eiji at all, but he is slowly becoming one of my favs. I'm a little bummed because Hattori wasn't in this episode. Fukuda-san is a bit mean-spirited when it comes to Nakai. He's talks to Nakai and about Nakai as if he chose to be 33 years old, unserialized, and an assistant. Fukuda-san is a very nice piece of eye candy, but he seems like an ass! |
 |
| And Nakai~~~ It's awesome to see this part of the manga animated... I barely remember it but I can finally retake those memories and realise why I thought the start was really good... While Shujin is having his time getting over his severe case of writer's block alongside with Kaya while writing her novel, Mashiro learns some stuff here and there.... All thanks to Fukuda Eiji and a bit of Nakai Fukuda was certainly interesting since he's been a Tezuka contender twice and has been relegated to the runner up positions due to the genius of our dear Niizuma... He will be a decent and worthy rival in the future for Niizuma and for Ashirogi... He really knows how stuff works and that's good to see. In Comparison the poor Nakai hasn't been serialised even once in his life and he has only won a prize 10 years ago... Imo Fukuda tried really hard to fire him up... It's such a shame that such guy still tries but can't... There's a time and place to give up but it's rather a bit too sad that he hasn't given up yet.... If he just wrote an interesting story I'm pretty sure he can end up in the regular roster of Jack Magazine... It's true that his drawings are really good... But... Oh wells... poor guy... being laugh at and looked down at is not kewl at all... Ganbare Nakai! It's good to see that Niizuma had flaws... but now that Fukuda and Mashiro have helped him out he will be pretty much unstoppable!! It's true that editors might break your rhythm and line of work but if they help you out too then you should at least her their opinion.... Just as he did with Mashiro and Fukuda... I also wanna see Aoki Ko animated!! Maybe she will appear in episode 19.... Or maybe in next one... Who knows but things will get more interesting from now on Signs, Green |

Not that I dislike our male cast, but it'd be nice to have a female who isn't there to be a girlfriend. :)I noticed there appears to be a female manga artist in the ending, I desperately want to see her (too many males drawing manga in this show). Loved this episode to pieces. Fukuda-san is just purely amazing. Why did I have this show rated a 7? I bumped it up to an 8, which I should have done a long time ago. Bakuman is probably going to at least be a 9 by the time it's finished, though. Anyways, did I mention Fukuda-san is awesome? I love his personality! And I loved those three brainstorming for Eiji. That was just great. I can't wait to see how all of this turns it. And I'm sure Takagi will have an incredible name waiting for Mashiro when they get back to writing/drawing. ^_^ |

Seeing the four artists interact in that room was really enjoyable. The whole episode shined for me and I didn't mind at all that the setting didn't change at all through most of the episode. |
 |
| Great episode. Fukuda's voice suits his character. And seeing him animated brings out the fangirl in me. ^.^ Pheefa said: True, I never got his appeal, yet he somehow always ends up near the top in popularity polls. :SThis may have been the only episode where I didn't want to punch Moritaka in the face =D |
| They did a great job casting for Fukuda's voice. Fits him well. |
| Great episode. ^^ At first I didn't like Fukuda but he's actually quite nice person. :) Although, he shouldn't be that rude with poor Nakai. :( And Nizuma is awesome as always. ^^ I loved serious Nizuma. :D |
| Hmm I always thought Fukuda had blonde hair (I dunno if he was on any of the colour pages) and I'd forgotten how pathetic Nakai was at the start O_o |
 |
billng said: That silver hair is to die for! Fukuda is cool! Yeah I thought it looked kinda hot and also he has a slim sexy body. |
| Real Hell is inside a person-Ai Enma (Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae) Do you know where hell is? Inside your head-Chrona (Soul Eater)  |
| Fukuda was really interesting though he's rude to Nakai. I felt really sorry for him. He's crying over his dream which he longed for 10 years. :( Nizuma shows some weakness which make him more interesting. I expected something more from Takagi and Kaya this ep but I failed. |
| Rivals helping each other. That's just awesome. Rival and friends have always been one of my favorite topics. I kinda feels sorry for Nakai but maybe he might also learn something working with these guys. |
| Ugh that was hard to watch. Niizuma is an extremely annoying character. I wish Takagi and Mashiro would just come up with another manga to draw. I don't want to watch anymore of this weird rival-friendship stuff. |
| They all make a great team! :) Though maybe not all happy.. poor Nakai... |
 |
| I really, really liked this episode. I mean it's been awhile since I enjoyed one this much. Fukuda is everything I thought he'd be, I was waiting for him to show up! lol but I love how he, Mashiro and Eiji interacted and talked about manga. I didn't like Eiji at first but now he is one of my favorites, I mean he's so damned eccentric how can you not like? Anyway hopefully things continue being interesting and fun. |

 |
| Decent episode. Not as good as the last one but better than the average episode. |
| FINALLY! Awesome episode, probably one of my favourites for sure! LOVE the new characters, they're both really cool :D Plus Eiji? Yep, no doubt about it :D Anyways, it was cool how they helped him even though they're rivals. I dunno, this whole episode was just really interesting and zipped by! :P Hope the next episode is as good as this one ^_^ |
