| Marathoned last season so I can follow along in step this year. A good start. Too bad Fukuda wasn't at the party, I would have liked to see how he handled it. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Shame to see Hattori go but their new editor doesn't seem like a bad person and I also liked their new assistants. |
 |
| Damn, the quality of the anime is really good, it really follows the manga. I LOVE THAT ! |
 |
| Was a nice episode to open 2nd series with. Is it me or is the ending pretty good, unlike most anime. |
 |
| I always play full ED by tommy heavenly6. this music never bores me. |
 |
| No Hattori??? aww such a shame...the new editor looks annoying :P |
 |
| Well that was a great way to kick off season 2! I really enjoyed this episode, season 2's opening/ending song is pretty damn good too! :D And man, I miss Hattori as their editor already! He was a pretty awesome character. :( |
 |
| I'm really gonna miss Hattori, he really felt like part of the team. I enjoyed Blue Bird, last op, better than this one but its still nice |
 |
| HIRAMARU. |
| Eiji OP! They probably are going to be kicked of serialization soon so the anime can have more drama! D= |

| Really liking the OP/ED for this season, they're both so great! Hattori leaving them was really unfortunate, I really liked that guy. Not really getting into the new editor, hopefully he does something later on to make me think differently, but I doubt he'll ever be better. |
| Epic show returns, I'll marathon this within a week since I really want to see the third season as it airs. New OP and ED are great but I'm missing the old ones already! |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Ye series is back for Season 2! I like this OP better tbh as the other one was too lighthearted.. Hiramaru looks like a talented individual but his personality is bloody cold. Other than that, he seems pretty chill @ that party. What a boss. Oh, also look who's back:  Also, that ED song is pretty damn good. Just saying. |
 |
| nice start, lots of new interesting characters |
 |
| Another season. Sure to be a lot of drama. Wonder if they'll get an anime adaptation. |
 |
| It was a good start for the second season. I look forward to their work as mangaka together with their new assistants now. :P I don't know why but they don't seem to have a good hand at picking the opening songs. I didn't really like the opening of season one and now I think the song isn't bad but it's not something that would take a top spot in my mind. It doesn't catch my interest at all. :( The first ending is really good and I like the endings from season one, too... but the opening is more important in my opinion and then the opening songs of Bakuman always go over the full season and the endings are split at the halfpoint. ~.~ |
| The first episode connects really well with the ending of the first season and well this party sure was interesting we also see a lot new faces with their own skills and that bingo scene was pretty funny but well let's see what this season has to offer us! |
 |
| very good for a first episode |
| I was skeptic with the fact that there would be a lot of new personnage, but I was pleasantly surprised. The new editor seemed a bit too much of the goofy type, but he kinda grew on me. He seem likable and determined. I just hope that Hattori will not just fade away, he was one of my favorite character from this anime. The new assistants seem interresting. I like the leader, he look very professional. The new girl will surely had an interresting dynamic. I can already smell trouble from bowl hair cut guy. The party was hilarious. That new genius seem so great, he look like an excentric depressive xD Nizuma was great as always. I don't understand why Aoki was there, she wasn't published, right? Miho seemed depressed at the end. She smilled, but the fact that she was lurking in the dark was weird. Also, in the preview, Mashiro say ''Why did Azuki send that texto?''. My guess is that she probably said that she doesn't know if she'll be able to fulfill her promise. Maybe she was fired from the anime or that they stopped the production. |

| This season's OP & ED are definitely better :) Gonna miss Hattori being their editor but it seems their new one isn't half bad, though kinda goofy lol. Looking forward to the rest of the episodes. |
 |
| The new editor... he's not bad, but I'll be missing Hattori. Though I guess he'll still be visible somewhere in the episodes. It's good there is one girl to help, because it means that Miyoshi will be there too. ^^ |
| Sorry for my English |
| No, Hattori, don't go. I don't like the new guy >.< |
| I smell a triangle love. Bleh, it would be meh if that happens. The OP is way much better than the first season. |
| Fuck i love this series but that ending where he yelled out at that guy made me cringe so hard! |
| lol hattiro got handed one piece, you just don't get handed one piece lol |
| Wait!!! Something doesn't make sense! At the meeting with the new editor, he told the two dudes that they would get 12,000 Yen per page for their manga, right? That's fine for their first chapter 'cause they were told to come up with a 50-page chapter. Then afterwards, they would do an average of 27 pages per chapter, right? That's 324,000 Yen per chapter. And that's a respectable sum for two high schoolers to be earning every month. BUT the editor also told them that an assistant cost up to 160,000 Yen every month, assuming said assistant works a 4-day work week. AND the two dudes had to hire 3 assistants! In other words, 480,000 Yen. You know what that means, right? THEY ARE FREAKING IN DEBT EVERY MONTH! So not only do they not earn a single cent for their work, they have to come up with an additional 156,000 Yen every month to pay their assistants. HOW? :o Did I get the wrong subs for this episode or did I miss the part where the editor told them salaries for assistants would be covered by the company? |
| Is this the so-called Japanese work ethic? Man, suddenly I feel so so sad for the two boys. |
| The OP and ED are good. Nice start of the new season, that genius guy is awesome: |
| Lol at the start, its a 2nd season but no distinction between the opening of 1st ep and last ep of the last season. More insight into the industry, all the authors are weird as well. |

| Nice first episode! Continue the plot with a great quality and realism!!! |
| Nice episode, getting straight back into things! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Katou so cute ! Thats all i needed 🤤 |
Loli world is just a cute world full of cute meat |
| Lol Niizuma and depressed guy breaking the formal mood of the party |
 |
| That was a good start. I agree so much with Hiramaru. Lol "Why do we have to work”, “I just want to eat and sleep”, “I should have born as a panda” Hahaha. I’m excited to see more of him, I have a feeling he’s gonna be my fave. And I’m slowly liking Eiji more and more with his antics. |
| Really good episode for the start of season 2, especially the whole party thing was cool along with Miura, Ashirogi Muto's new editor after Hattori was forced to step down to take over One Piece's editor role as well as being busy with other serializations, explaining the contract in detail with payment details and hiring assistants too to help them out, as it shows a glimpse of how much these two have grown compared to the start when they had the ability but no skill whatsoever to create a proper manga. But hey, they've progressed nicely and have earned this shot for how dedicated they've been to the craft and developed over a couple years. New OP and ED songs were really great. Dream of Life and Monochrome Rainbow respectively for the opening and ending all sound really catchy and the kind of songs I'd love to listen to beyond just this anime and the visuals for the opening in particular were good. |
| Seems like this season will be more interesting... |
| I think that girl assistant assigned to Ashiro Muto will interfere with one of the ship |
| Well I've heard that being a Mangaka is hard and all but the hospitality they received and that party is quite a luxury isn't it ? |
| finally, season 2, start! my favourite season, and episode 1 showed well why, the story much more smooth and not dragged, the pace is great and the OST had huge upgraded. the animation too feels better, though the overall design didn't changed much. never liked miura so much, he speak like he knows but his personality effects himself too much. hiramaru is masterpiece character, truly bring more unexcepted direction to the story. and eiji is just eiji. |
| It kind of sucks we're losing Hattori as the point of contact. I'm sure he'll still be around here and there, but he was such a strong part of season one. I feel like we're going to missing out. Their assistants seem cool. It's a bit premature, but things are looking pretty good with them. I might already like them more than Fukuda and Nakai. I'm definitely excited to start seeing their input once we start working on Detective TRAP. Otherwise, this was a pretty good opening episode for season two. It feels like a faithful continuation. So far nothing has deviated and the story still feels exciting. There's a lot to look forward to. On a final note: Miho sitting alone in the first shot of the ending isn't promising foreshadowing for MoritakaixMiho. |
