| 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. |
bskbob said: good ep seeing Eji in action is one my fav parts in this show. me too..=) and I feel bad for nakai. bakuman really shows the ups and downs of a manga writer |
 |
| 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 ^_^ |

| <3 dz episode! Dreaming is good esp. when ur putting much effort to achieve it.. ^^ |
| What can I say? I'm a fan. - Usui Kazuyoshi  |
 LOL. They just kept adding to his head :D Eiji is awesome. :D |
 |
| oh man couple more eps to go |
 |
| Missing Shujin soo much .. i start to like nzumi .... |
  |
| Looks like Nizuma let it all go to his head. I love how this series goes into the business side of manga and doesn't seem like it is just thrown in there. I mean it just flows with the story. |
  |
| Fukuda's voice! <3 *fangasm* Ahem. That aside, I thought that this was a really great episode! Having not read the manga, I really like the interactions between Mashiro and Eiji and Fukuda. The whole 'helping your rival succeed' thing was...too cute for words XD |

| I want the 33 year old guy to pwn all of them. |
  |
| i love nizuma eiji!!! my fav ep so far |
 |
| I'm now missing Takagi |
| Standby!Music! I really felt bad for Nakia, he looked so sad! & I love how Eiji even for a great manga artist, has flaws and Mashiro pointed them out :) I really loved the outline of making a manga and the discussions. |
| The old guy is so poor that he can't follow the youngsters. xD Fukuda is so cool btw. :D |
"Perhaps the distant part of the sky always seems clearest, so that we will always strive to reach it."  chiquit |
| I feel so bad for Nakai ...X.X |
| Nizuma is a very interesting character, a very interesting character indeed. He is actually pretty likable to be honest (I had a bad impression of him when I first saw him). |
 |
| I'm not disliking Eiji anyone, but I don't like him either. He's ok after this episode. I want the 33 year old guy (Nakai) to succeed, I feel sorry for him. The new Albino guy is quite the punk. I noted that this show's character designs are really realistic, all characters so far have realistic hair color and it wouldn't look (that) strange in real life. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| God assistants are pretty op! |

| Was not expecting that change from Nizuma at the end. Seeing him with a slightly more down to earth character was a really nice change. The way they explained the whole process in making a good manga makes a lot of sense. I can see people trying to make something through the use of just cool characters, but unless something is added to make it more interesting, it is bound for failure. |
| Eiji is so funny XD Poor Nakai.. Fukuda is cool lol. |
| Great episode. Really fun to watch. |
 |
| Quite a lovely episode, enjoyed the couple new characters and well it was quite a nice experience for Mashiro as well! It also seems Akito and Miyoshi are hitting it off quite good! He didn't appeared a lot but well his development is going steady as well! |
 |
| Poor nakai san |
| This episode was the best yet, two interesting new characters with a lot of emotion and also some development from Eiji!! He is actually so likable for a rival! I'm so excited to see what happens, I wish that all of them could get serialized. The other (older) background assistant is really bringing a lot of heartfelt emotions into this anime; I love how they showed his talents. |
| It was great to see that Nizuma also have his flaw as a mangaka. This new Fukoda is also cool. Poor Nakai, or whatever his name was, getting denigrated by much younger people xD I was scared that by working with Nizuma, it would seclude our duo, but Mashiro still seem to believe in Takagi. By working the three of them together, he should learn something. The last frames of the preview were hilarious xD |

| Never thought I'd see the day when Nizuma would act like a normal person even if it was just for a bit o.O |
 |
| ahhh, to me, this was the most interesting episode in a while. i just couldn't take my eyes off the screen! |
 |
| The assistants are cool, love how everyone pulled together to help him out. I love when characters don't dick other people over who are trying to achieve the same dream as them, I mean the guy is really impressionable in such company and I'm happy they don't take advantage of it ^~^ Gives off a really good feel. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| This was nice episode. It was fun to see that even Eji isn't perfect. The new guy, Fukuda, is also really cool (and quite funny although little mean). I like him! I hope there is more Takagi in the next episode |
| "Oh, I wasn't trying to be funny.. I would've put a 'Haha' at the end of it." |
| Niizuma has gotten A LOT better. Great episode. |
| Really good episode. I'm gaining more respect for Eiji. |
 |
on 
| Poor Nakai has a rough time going lol. And damn Fukuda is cool af. |
 |
| Some of the ideas seem to be falling flat, but Eiji's character development and the introduction of Fukuda were good! |
  |
| I dunno why Fukuda reminds me of Gin from Gintama. They both have white hair and a similar facial structure, but Fukuda's hair is differently stylized. Their personalities are a little similar, though Fukuda is a bit more serious/grim in his attitude. "We pick up the manuscripts Eiji just throws on the ground because his assistants are fucking animals to him..." "From me? Is there anything you [i[can[/i] learn?" "I could learn how to draw manga while having an epileptic seizure." If the most major problem with Eiji's manuscripts after drawing them in 30 minutes is that they're slightly less interesting, maybe he should spend an hour on them. Wooow, that one guy can eat a lot. Steak, fried chicken, tuna, a banana parfait...I was expecting them to make a joke of Mashiro saying something like "Huh? You weren't ordering for both of us?" I guess even though everyone thought Eiji didn't really need his assistants, they turned out to be beneficial for him in the long run. He's calmed down and actually apologized for being a little shit earlier. It's also good that Mashiro still remembers why he became Eiji's assistant: in order to help with his own manga. |
