So they put 5 chapters into this episode, I'm glad they didn't drag them much. Hiramaru was awesome this chapter, can't wait for his moments in the next arc.

... Touche.

This episode felt WAY too rushed. Still, it was good nevertheless.

Moriya standing up to Mama Shiratori was great. =D

Yay! I have caught up! I was actually planning to watch the anime in one go, like the first two season! But in the end I gave up! :)

It seems a little bit rushed. Just 1 episode ago shun was told that his manuscript was good enough to be submitted for Next or treasure and now he's already getting a serialization? I have nothing against Shun, but it all just seems to go way too fast. If it keeps up this pace then the anime will be there at the end of this season.

Actually Shun didn't get serialized yet, his manga is only a one shot that get published for Jack & the reason is clearly explained in the earlier part of this ep.

They really put 5 chapters in this ep?? Wow thats why it feel rushed in some part though I glad they don't drag it to much like in manga.

LOL Yoshida's knows how to manipulate Hiramaru as always. XD

Moriya against Shiratori's mom is great & his blush to Shratori's sister.

Yes the leader fest arc! Can't wait to see it. :D

Hiramaru - Yoshida duo is so funny. Lately I'm getting bored of this anime (I think it's getting repetitive) but they're the only reason I keep watching.^^

Shun's first work is too good imo, they even mentioned that it's really hard to get a serialization as a mangaka. Hiramaru and Aoki are so funny. Yoshida was surprised when Aoki invited him for some tea.
Next episode will be some party, I'm looking forward to it.

Amazed they finished this arc in one go. Felt a bit rushed to be honest. But oh well, this was the weakest link in the manga, so glad they got it out of the way so quickly. Well, Love Fest is up next, which is also a rather weak arc, though not as much as Shun's arc. Hope they don't rush it too much.

Also, is it just me or was Shun's sister really hot? I didn't notice her much in the manga (maybe 'cuz she looks like her mother so much). Also, can someone tell me who voiced her? Seemed familiar for some reason.

Hiramaru acting like always and Yoshida's plans backfires for once.

This episode reminds me why I love anime/manga so much. It can stir up emotions when done right and is just an awesome form of entertainment, and that's what Bakuman is for: a tribute to that culture.

When the mom came in and pissed everyone off, everyone staking their pride on the line was the best moment of the episode. I can't wait until they get to the next arc of this series with the villain they showed at the end of Bakuman 2 Nanimine....

Mmmm, they took a dangerous direction, but it was kinda solved by the ending. I'm sure that Takagi can manage three serie at once, but can Mashiro really draw two serie at the same time? I'm still not sure. He sure have a lot of talent, but he doesn't have the same kind of talent that Nizuma have.

I liked the side-story with that assistant, it was kinda touching, even if that mom was a huge bitch. Seriously, I hate parent that seem to only see their child as an object whose purpose is to boost their reputation...

That Leader thing sure will be interresting. It will be a real ultimate test for Mashiro and furthermore, it will be a competition between all the best mangaka from Jack (well the ones that we know...).

The first season of Bakuman I've found many "The pace's too slow", now "it was too rushed". Fortunately, as a non-manga reader I don't feel either way.

Entertaining episode. Too bad Time of Blue Leaves manga was cancelled. Panty-shots anime like that is supposed to be popular dammit! That aside, I hope Aoki gets more development and screen time.

I genuinely could not care less about Shiratori as a character or his family problems, so I'm glad the show seems to have at least wrapped up the latter fairly quickly rather than wasting more time on it.

After making so much drama about Aoki's new manga on S2 she gets cancelled just like that? Sad to see Hiramaru get cancelled too, now Crow is the only manga from the first ones that survived this long.

Still, Jack irl would be so weird. Literally in shorts amounts of time the same 4/5 authors release a serie, it gets cancelled soon, and then they create another one asap. As a reader I would lose fate on manga if this are the only authors they can get lol

Let's hope Hiramaru's and Aoki's new series actually succeed or they just stop trying. Kinda tiring seeing all the time the same authors releasing stuff after stuff.

Shiratori standing up to his pretty frustrating mother and wanting to do manga no matter what, prioritizing his life and interests over fake appearances and being like a puppet to his mother was pretty great to watch. He's clearly got the art down and with Takagi's writing, can make a serialization-level manga pretty nicely so I'm glad to not see him concede quickly and have the balls to run away from his parents like that. At least his sister and his father is willing to support the decision he made for now, as long as he doesn't give up in the process.

The Super Leaders Fest sounds fun too with everyone seemingly participating to do some one-shots, and Mashiro wants in on it. Takagi despite already needing to focus on Rabuta & Peace along with PCP wants to do a one-shot together with Mashiro regardless and not split them up for this. He does want to prioritize Ashirogi Muto till the end, and doesn't want any cracks forming between the two of them over his involvement with Shiratori's manga.

Damn seems like quite a bit of people have mixed feelings about this arc. I mean other than the show antagonizing Shiratori's mom, it was pretty much to watch.

I would buy 100 copies of this manga if miho fell in love with someone else and Takagi moved on with the cute guy to leave mc all alone.
If the author purposely wrote him this bad and indecisive to force drama, this is the least they can do. Takagi always has to carry ashirogi muto on his back. Mc is the only bad(and pretty bad) thing in this anime.

But I doubt that'll happen.

Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth.
Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime.

LOL this episode was very fast paced, it was probably something like, 3-4 chapters? lol.

hate to say this, but shiratori isn't that likeable, and his whole "family business" was pretty weak and cliche, glad they rushed it through.
and LOL we got already to new arc xD

hiramaru actually succeed with kou LOL

This season is rather fast paced, but this episode especially blew right by. As we get closer to the end, it seems like we're in a hurry to jump from this thing to the next. That being said, I don't particularly care about Shiratori anyway. So, resolving his issues and moving onto more manga is fine with me.

Other than that: Oh no, Otter 11 is coming to an end. That seems pretty random, considering how consistently well it seemed to be doing.
