THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The choices of the seiyuu for the one shot (especially the one from speaker... lol), good job. The pair is shocked about the one shot. The mangaka of the one shot is their fan. It's pretty splendid, but the content is not good for Jack.

Tachibana-san being talkative (the new mangaka) and KajiKaji being bewildered (new editor), it's hard to imagine! But he's very tricky and do things that makes him popular instantly by making trouble for the company, getting editor in chief's attention, and immediate meeting with the pair. He showed his true identity and the secret behind his works in front of the pair and said he doesn't trust the new editor.

This new mangaka is up to no good it seems. Shuujin and Saikou get an up close look at his true nature.

No subs yet. I usually watched it on GoGoAnime, but there seems to be some sort virus because the McAfee warning sign keeps popping up. Is anyone else having this problem?

Anime44 has it available, but the subs (still) aren't out. It appears the translator may have overloaded on tryptophan during the great national turkey pogrom last week (American Thanksgiving), or at least that's the impression given by the sage website.

It's been nearly a week. I want to complain, but I should've expected it since it's almost an exact repeat of last year's Bakuman 2 delays. Sigh.

I would have absolutely no problems if Classroom of Truth was expanded on and made into a manga in real life xD

Nanamine's 180 degree personality change was epic. From being Mr. Nice Guy to being a total asshole...

I'm pretty sure that the narrator for classroom of truth is also the voice of Okabe Rintaro from Steins;Gate.

To be honest I wasn't very impressed with the manga itself... there are many of these "survival" tournament type manga and I doubt any of them will ever reach the level of Battle Royale or Gantz, especially not a shonen like this.

Nanamine is a pretty interesting new char. I hope his arc doesn't last for too long though.

So, Nanamine appears. How they did "The Classroom of Truth" made it more interesting, though I still don't like it as a series, but again, I'm not fond of survival game theme in general so it's not really my thing.

A great episode overall.

The classroom of truth~Tbh, that opening scene almost made me feel like I was there.



I pray that someday, The Classroom of Truth becomes a real serialized manga in the real world. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I don't like that Nanamine kid though. I mean, on the surface, he acts all polite and nice but later reveals that he is a two-faced bastard. Climbing all the way up to Jack? I hope he gets his ass kicked soon. Tsh.

Im kind of glad to see a character like Nanamine. This series hasn't really had any characters I would call a villain. He seems like a villain, since he uses all kinds of dirty tricks. Ashirogi must defeat him!

Why did the writers think it was a good idea to have the antagonist LAY OUT HIS ENTIRE EVIL PLANS TO THE 2 PROTAGONISTS?? Oh yeah, I'm sure he's going to get away with it, too. That seemed really brainless to me. Usually the bad guys reveal their plans at the end of a story. Why should I care about this guy when I know for sure he is going to get caught? First real criticism of Bakuman I've had, though.

Me too! When they switched back to Takagi and Mashiro I wanted to go back to CoT and finish the story!

This episode had Death Note vibes all over the place, so naturally I loved every minute of it. Best episode of Bakuman 3 so far, IMO. Nanamine is an awesome addition to the cast! ^_^

LOL. I saw him being a bad guy a mile away. Also, if that was a real manga, I think I would definitely read it - it would be the first manga I ever read. :O

I can't wait to see the next episode. Is it going to take another week to get subbed?

well it's more than just knowing his plans and revealing them. the manga he brought was very popular, enough that the office was piled with calls. could a business really kick a guy out who can create something so promising? no they are going to try and conform him and keep him.

it's more of a question of how will the other mangakas and editors react to knowing how nanamine gets his ideas. is it really a problem that he is getting opinions and ideas from other people? he himself is doing the drawing and compiling of all these things, and then submitting it so why not?

that's what we'll find out !

<3 the reactions nanamine is creating, all over again.

Finally, the debut of the Nanamine arc! I've been waiting for this to be animated, probably only because I wanted to see Classroom of Truth "animated."

Great episode as always.

Nanamie Touru has become one of my favorite antagonists, simply put, he's Bakuman's Yagami Light...then again, the two works are compiled by the same geniuses.

You might think that crowdsourcing your plot would lead to all kinds of innovative and interesting ideas. Over time however, I think you will inevitably drift towards design by committee--dull, safe, and standardized. It's rare that a small group of writers can keep fresh--Monty Python managed it but most American sitcoms get turned into pablum once the show has been running for a while. We'll see where this goes...

This episode reminds me a lot of Death Note. And Nanamine's manga kind of reminds me of Battle Royale.

WOW! This new character is AMAZING. This episode really reminded me of who the authors of Bakuman really are - the people who created Death Note. The cold, cunning, calculating type - who does whatever they need to do in order to achieve their goals - they are the best!

Many scenes were cut out from the anime, so if you want to at least see more of
The Classrom of Truth go read chapters 115 and 116 of the Bakuman manga.

Wow I kind of forgot they cut some of the scene in this ep, thanks for reminding.

Damn, the VA for Nanamine is perfect. Love the part when he turn 180 degree in front of Ashirogi.

So Yoshida as the narrator in that manga? lol kind of fitting. XD

Silly how hard they're working to make this guy seem evil. Oh no, he successfully launched a viral marketing campaign and painstakingly incorporated public ideas from trusted sources to make a better manga! The fiend! Honestly, he'd be the protagonist if he had a different voice and expressions.
