Wow, ouch, nice to see we can all be mature here. I'm just throwing out my opinion on the series, you can agree or disagree all you want. No need to make things personal.


Oops! Sorry sorry! I didn't mean to sound so rude really..DX.. Maybe because I saw a lot of people here who thinks that this episode is a waste of time while I'm on the opposite side. But I do agree that we are all entitled with our own opinions.

but if they wanted to improve their work, they would have asked for their peer's opinions, right? It isn't even about asking which work is best. It is the simple concept of saying "Hey, can you give me a fresh pair of eyes". It is like you said, it isn't the action of a perfect person, it is the action of an artist. They should have welcomed the feedback.


I think the primary reason why they can't give any feedback to each other's works is that they have totally different views. Well their mangas are in different genres though. You know like Aoki, she only likes fantasy-like-stories. She wouldn't want to discuss Fukuda's delinquent story since she doesn't like it. It does makes sense that way. Well it's just what I think xD

It's kinda sad how the most interesting things in this episode were Eiji's reactions to the names.
And what's sadder, is that I don't have anything more to say about this episode.
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

Haters are gonna be haters always... But one thing is certain dear... To write you need the skills to do so, if not you'll fail to even read your own stuff! You need techniques and traits to hook up your readers.... SO... You need to know how to write, if not you'll likely fail bad

Either way I found this episode to be kinda meaningless in the sense of developing the characters, the "main" ones but expanding their views, but definitely was a useful episode for setting up what's to come next episode.... The battle for the Golden Cup will be harsh for sure... I'm really happy Hattori is confident of Ashirogi, and Niizuma being that honest about the mangas overall... Maybe the raid wasn't successful but it left the editors a good impression of their passion and need and want to win the contest... and maybe the review session was fruitless besides Eiji's opinion but comparing and deducing what your manga be missing is helpful.. And this pushed them to redo some stuff... which is not bad but isn't as good as it could be... the truth is that when it comes to art and writing it's really hard to be happy with your creation... You'll always find flaws here and there and want to correct them... I guess they need to be patient... Well... Let's just see how this turns out... I wanna see Koogy lose!

Oh Nakai Nakai.... No wonder why you're so hated... Stupid lovestruck man.... OLD MAN... dude... please... get a grip of yourself and work on your own... depending on other is not good for you >> <<... But I did crack up with orgasmed face when Aoki put on her glasses. Eiji's reactions were awesome... Loved his reactions for TRAP... so... Seems like he loved it... Me bets that the loser here is Hideout Door

Oh and Miho's performance... Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be... she looks really good doing the dance and singing... Plus she's giving out her best and kinda enjoying it... I like it... GO Miho... Make your dream come true! You're doing pretty well... And don't worry... your man won't disappoint ya!

Am I the only one who actually really enjoyed this episode? xD
There were quite a few moments where I laughed out loud, and even though there wasn't a lot of progression with the plot... I just enjoyed it a lot. It made me realise just how much I'm loving this anime, I really like the characters.

Well, it looked like that peer review ended up being a complete waste of time, but I think it may actually have helped Ashirogi Muto. At the very least, I think Mashiro has the right idea. He can't relax knowing that he's not good enough to win. Even if he may be tied for first.

Great episode, it was enjoyable even though nothing really happened.
They're rewriting the name... I think they might fail with the second name but I guess not.
I'll think that at the end of this season they'll have first place on that cup.

Me too, I guess it's because I don't speak Japanese so I don't know what is right and what is wrong.

Fukuda was hilarious when he agreeded with Mashiro xD

That Koogy bastard... I hope he finish last!

I just love Aoki confidence. She don't care about other opinion, she trust her own capability. Nizuma was great during that reunion. My guess is that the two names he believed that would be at equality are Takagi one and Aoki one. I think that Fukuda one is maybe too regular.

That awkward dance at the end was funny.

The real truth right here. Miho is so fucking stupid and pointless to this series, I wish she wasn't the main motivator for Mashiro because it's so frustrating. She just went along with the other dancers when they were talking about voting for Koogy. Step up and voice your support for your guy you whore.

Kinda disappointed that the argument with the editors didn't go past the popularity point. I mean, from what we can see and hear about Koogy's manga, it doesn't seem very interesting at all. One would have to question if he was selected for the contest just because he's famous and would attract new readers.
Therefore, i awaited an argument about prioritizing money over quality and all, but it didn't come.

Okay episode nonetheless but definitely slower than the previous ones, and the miho part was useless.

Miho, how singer, is horrible xD

Is natural, when you create a song/manga/art, always think that your work is the most important, but the trap of Nizuma is incredible, this trap do that you question yourself work!!!

Heh, Fukuda is more intimidating then he realizes.

"If you don't like it, step down as an entry!" Why is KOOGY allowed to be in the Golden Future Cup?! Bastard's turning it into a dick-sucking contest. I hope his manga's trash. I know his manga's trash. I guess from the editorial department's perspective, having a famous person's manga in Jack will definitely cause more copies to sell than usual.

"It's a story about a boy who meets a fairy and tries to become one himself." ...In Jack? It's certainly unique, but does it really fit in there? Eiji making those spergy noises really gave away his thoughts on all their manga before they started giving opinions.

"But keep in mind that I was told to tone it down and redraw it six times." Fukuda is badass. Better than the bitch with the fairy manga who thinks her work is 10/10 and refuses to help anyone else.

How can Eiji be certain what manga is going to get 1st and 3rd without having read KOOGY's manga?

We all know why those guys were at that event in Akihabara...the singing may not be great, but the outfits and sexy dance moves are top-notch.

I love how awkward Miho was in that performance at Akihabara where she had to basically be an idol to promote the anime she was in. Saori Hayami did a terrific job in sounding so awkward and quiet during her vocal performance in this, kinda funny since she's the complete opposite for me with her actual real songs.

Otherwise a good episode, not much was accomplished when the contestants for the Golden Future Cup went to the Jump editorial office to confront them about Koogy's entry and usage of his massive platform to rig the polls, but in reality, the answer was already staring them in their faces. Just beat them with your own manga, since if your work is excellent, you'll be selected regardless. Remember, quality/opinions also are a factor for these polls/questionnaires. It was nice seeing them meet up with each other and understand each other's names and get a true glimpse of their competitors' works.

I feel like Aoki completely ruined the point of that, for a lack of a better term, study circle. It was Fukuda's idea after all, and the guys had no problem with working together on Niizuma's manga when it was just them. I really, really don't care for Aoki. I hope she loses to Colorfusical.

I really wish we could've seen them talking about their storyboards and how to improve them. But, otherwise, another good episode.
