The editor's meeting was one of the most nervous moment in this show.


The duo finally hears the result from Hattori-san and...



The first half of the episode was quite nervous and even tedious to watch as everyone waits to hear the result from the meeting at Jack's HQ. Oh man, Mashiro and Akito seemed like they were more pessimistic than Zetsubou-sensei. The result seemed kinda obvious from the beginning, but I liked how the show managed to keep the tension high all season along. Anyway, it looks like we'll get to learn about the new character who will be in charge of the duo instead of Hattori-san. ↓

Omg I don't think I've ever had that many emotions during an anime series XD I had this huge idiotic smile on my face during the entire episode XD I laughed, I cried, I had shivers down my spine.

I absolutely CAN NOT WAIT for the second season!!! The manga seems to be nearing the end of it's current arc as well so it will be nice to see what happens next there too :D

Funny how Ashirogi Muto and the editors both ended up playing cards to distract themselves; wonder why Hattori is no longer their editor though =\
Now to wait 6 months for season 2...

They finished this season really nice, but I never thought that Miura will be introduced in first season... and, I thought that Hiramaru would shown earlier, so there was lots of surprising moments :D

Good episode though i wonder why Hattori is not their editor anymore. Is it because he does not manage any manga which gets serialized or ...?

Good show but not great due to the pacing. 8/10.
Finally Mio and Ahirogi talks...its like another Kimi ni Todoke >.>

Perfect ending indeed.

This series have change my way of thinking in many ways. Only 2 series have done the same in the past for me (GTO and Honey & Clover) I will recommend this series to anyone

True the pacing was a bit slow, but i have a lot of patience. So I'm a bit biased giving it a 10/10.

I'm guessing Bakuman 2 will be the last season, they're really going to have to pick up the pace if they want to use most of the manga chapters.

Anyway 8/10 for the series, loved it.

That was more nerve wracking than the manga.
It was obvious that they'll get serialized but the wait on the first half was excruciating though.
Along with Fukuda and Aoki's next attempt at serialization, I forgot that Hiramaru also got serialized here. This is a good combination, La Flaga as the editor and Ichigo as the mangaka. An amazing combo here :D
And oh shi- it's Miura.
Second season can't come any faster.

9/10

Great last episode. When Hattori said "Congratulations." , it made me go "YES!!" with a big smile in my face.

Why do they have a new editor? O.o

I don't have problems with the pacing but it could have been better overall.

This gets a 9/10. Next season seems exciting.

HOLYCRAP, you knew that they were going to be serialized, but it kept me really really nervous. Also, Azuki and Mashiro finally talked!

Okay, so now I'm just saying the same thing other people are. One more thing, that's two series I just finished! (KnT and Bakuman)

Really good series. I agree with some of the people here when they say the pacing was slow which is why I gave it a 8/10 instead of 9/10.

Man I gotta wait til October to find out why Hattori isn't their editor anymore. I really liked that guy, he helped them out so much and seemed like one of the more chill editors. I guess I'll have to see how this new guy does.

Mashiro and Miho finally being able to talk to each other on the phone was awesome as well.

It gonna be very hard for me to not read the Manga so I can know what is coming up in the anime, but 6 months shouldn't be so bad because there is a lot of new series coming up now and other series I want to catch up with (got back into anime about a year ago from a 5-6 year break)

Nice ending to the first season. I liked the little tongue-in-cheek joke with Mashiro getting a 3 of a kind in Jacks and it reminded them of the serialization meeting. Miura makes his appearance and while it's a bit comical with his over-the-top handshake, I still feel that it NEEDS MORE GAGS! ~

Looking forward to season 2 this October

Awesome series. I spent each week anxiously waiting to see what was going to happen to our heroes here. The wait until October is going to kill me.
New Editor, big step forward in the relationship, and serialization... it's gonna be great.

10/10 for the series.

Me too. Kind of reminds me of watching Kimi ni Todoke. Except with KnT it was like a "D'awww" smile and this one it was more like, "YES!"

If you think about it, a lot of the guys in this anime have quirks that show such. At any rate, I liked what the mother said to the dad.

I don't think they'll just shove his character out of the show like that. If they did, that would be kind of sad. I really like him.

Overall, 8/10. A part of me wants to make it a 9, but I don't know. So glad Azuki called him on the phone and apologized about before. Serialization conclusion + romance conclusion was nice. I know a lot of people don't like the romance aspect, but if they didn't do anything about tying it up 'til season 2 that would have been kinda lame. Anyways, I was celebrating when they got serialized even though I (and probably everyone else) expected it.

"Yatta!"

...And we never got to see that one dude's face. Now I've got to wait until October 2011. :/

Breathtaking episode with an awesome direction and script development. Almost perfect for what it's trying to be. Overall, the series started slowly and on a shaky basis but it evolved into one of the best shows out there thanks to really good characters, great developments and a flawless direction.

Hahaha indeed.... More gags~~~ tho that Jack one was pretty amusing... I liked it ^^

Well... the last episode of the season couldn't be more nerve racking, anxious and fun! It's funny how the suffering of others can be quite interesting isn't it? Sure the Serialization meeting took long but it was obvious since there were 13 new entries for this time... Quite obvious they would take that much time... What made things really bad was our dear Sasaki Editor in chief approving of 7 out of the 13 mangas that entered the serialization meeting.... It's great to know that the three entries of the Golden Cup managed to get into the Second selection but only Trap got to be serialised.... By the way I forgot how many mangas are starting... 4 right? Hiramaru's, Ashirogi's, looks like Arai was serialised too (Arai-sensei~~) and another one right? Or just 3? Well such a shame Aoki and Fukuda had to be left out this time but they will come someday...

Well after the announcement everything went quite good... until certain someone we manga readers came... Should he appear like now? couldn't wait for next season to introduce him.... I'm not too happy with him but oh wells... Btw didn't expected him to be so... chocolate brown... Always imagined him to have a darker hair colour tone... tho the skin is dark too... doesn't matter... Well... We'll have to wait until Oct to see him in action... and Hiramaru too! I'm amazed that his first try got serialised rigt away... but it's as Yoshida says... a genius is a genius... Of course he's the exccentric type... but... Oh wells.. you'll see... yay for great ending....

Miho's call as well... so the Anime creators moved the phone talk over to the ending and put it there to make a solid ending to just remind us of the real goal of this duo.... I do really liked the ending and their call... so cute ^^
