THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
LOL @ Miyoshi's imitation on Azuki when announcing her opinions on the two works.

The editor is still going for gag? Because gag gets low ranking at first but gradually improve. He's been doing research for a week.

Female mangaka's new manga is aim is wrong, and the editor told her to think how men in the past are feeling. The assistants of the new mangaka (pre-assistant) are having nice chat... about marriage age!! Hiramaru just learned that he just got tricked again. lol~. Wow, the house became gorgeous!

Saikou (being hot) vs. Shuujin (statistic) now. It was editor's mistake for split comment (not serious). Even Shuujin cannot accept it. Him being pissed made Saikou relieved.

So the girl who loved Shuujin and the female mangaka are in the same university. And she writes a novel that she has!

lol @ packages of gags from the editor, followed by the editor's apologies.

Next ep. in the zoo (one more ep. and [url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-12-16/3rd-bakuman-anime-series-to-be-25-episodes-long]ep. 14 will be aired January 7).

So they're going with Ten after all...
Well the ending was at least funny. But these episodes lately have been pretty boring. I guess whoever said that this is the low point of the manga is right, i'm definitely not enjoying it that much.

I don't know about you guys, but I think the series is getting much better. It is disappointing how they're not doing FUTURE WATCH, but it'll be interesting to see how they draw/write TEN. Anyway, I loved the ending scene, it made me giggle, a lot. <3

I really thought they would put Shujin's outburst at the end of the episode. The ending of that chapter in the manga was one of the coolest moments, on par with him punching the classmate guy.

Well then, Iwase is introduced and I'm glad they're finally getting to Aoki's character development.

Iwase has grown nicely. Quite a pretty one although as character goes then Shujin made the right choice since Azuki is more fun and nice to be around with and is a very nice and understanding person. The kind of girl that makes life easier while Iwase seems more of a hard case and not very fun.

Btw to i get the feeling that Aoki might actually ask Tagaki for advice on love?

Shujin made Miura eat a humble pie. Awesome angry face. Btw personally i kind of like the concept of Hitman 10 better since the time playing concept has been done multi-times before in different ways but am not a big fun of gang manga and i share the feeling that if you want to make an epic work to be remember you can't do that with a simple gaga manga. A more serious story touches people a lot more in terms of feelings especially is it has human dramatic moments.

Besides the base of keeping your numbers up is by keeping your original readers and expanding. You can't lose those who started with the manga. They are the foundation and although at young teenage kids will be attracted to pointless silly gangs as they grow-up they will start to get bored of the silly gangs and want to read a more complex and sentimental story.

Seeing all that i am of the opinion that they should start Hitman 10 with gangs but slightly less than a fully devoted gang manga and use that little less to build a future big plot that will give it times to get bigger and bigger and be more than just gags.
Look at One Piece that is so successful, it has many gags and jokes all the time. A lot more than Naruto or Bleach or many other shounen but there are moments where it focuses on action and moments focused on a deep story message and drama. It's a mix. That's what they should do with Hitman 10 too since the whole concept with hitmen and fighting for survival can go very well with awesome action and drama along with gang jokes. Then Mashiro will finally have his big epic work and not just a simple average selling gang manga.

Aw, I really feel bad for Miura. He tries so hard but he just doesn't work well with Ashirogi Muto.

By the way, I've been loving the way they transition the ending song into the last seconds into the anime. I love both the OP and ED so much - they really fit Bakuman!

This, i just don't see it being successful so in other words its a waste of time in my opinion; all though Future Watch doesn't seem like it was going to do well either since it only got 9th so perhaps they will start all over again.

Judging from the preview (zoo-scene), they're gonna cut out quite a lot of stuff.

Monochrome Rainbow = perfect ending song

Everytime they're talking about serious manga not being popular I think of Death Note. It started as a serious manga and died *pun somewhat intended* a serious manga. And it's freaking famous!

They should do the damn serious manga and please die Miura!

I don't really like how Mashiro and Shujin acted in this episode. At first Shujin got mad, and rightfully so, because Miura was forcing them to make his damn comedy manga, even though everyone knows and says that Ashirogi isn't suited for that, and then they decided to stick with Miura's idea just because they felt pity for him.

In short, fuck Miura.

When Mashiro was angry and shouting, i thought he's cool trying to rebel against Miura. But after that Takagi got so pissed! Epic :D
I really felt like slapping Miura that instance.

Anyway, that assistant girl that like Mashiro last time is 30 years old??? I thought she's the same age as Azuki and Mashiro.But why is a 30 year old girl crushing on a high schooler?

I think Future watch + TEN = Mirai Nikki
Mirai nikki is future diary + 13 choosen diary holders killing each other

Nooooo! I don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't reeeeeeally don't want them to draw a gag manga!!!!!
They should make other one-shots (or at least think of other stories) that give good results. They have the potential for the top spots so they should go with a manga that ranks in the top 3 with the first chapter/one shot. This is the only successful way I can think of which would make me really happy.
I don't know why they have to focus that much on jokes and whatever. Sure it can bring success but I don't think it would be a cool way to their goal.

And Miho needs a nice character setting for her job to complete their goal. I don't think anything in a gag manga would suit her! Her appearance in TRAP was something to go with and I think it should be similar now..

She sure looks the same and her interest for manga makes it even more interesting for me :p
