THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The raw is out :P hehe.

The beginning was quite boring, so i skipped some.. It got interesting when Mioshi and Mashiro started arguing. To see Mashiro being emo was great. He had Kira look when she was looking at those pencil shaped chocolates XD

I wonder how people who watch anime and who haven't seen manga will like this ''weird'' love Mashiro and Azuki have.. but i can say that they will still have some awsome moments together :P

So the comments say that Bakuman will get 2nd season next fall 2011, great ! :)

+points again for Hattori being enthusiastic helping the duo.. but I still can't get over with his weird laugh..

Miyoshi just keeps getting likeable w/ each passing episode.. it's really nice how she cares so much about Saiko and Azuki's relationship.. and that crying face was so much WIN!! haha.. XD

the last part was the usual romance scene you'd expect from Saiko and Azuki.. god those two are the most innocent and pure couple I've ever seen, in my eyes they look more like elementary school kids than middle school..

Very good episode with nice developments and some really fine character-building, but I feel that Mashiro and Azuki are growing more and more annoying.

I agree. I didn't like her at first because I thought she would be one of those bothersome characters, but she's turning out to be a really nice character. I don't mind her at all anymore.
Actually, I'm now more excited to see Takagi and Miyoshi moments more than Mashiro and Azuki. xD

Great episode overall. :3

^ I love the relationship those two have, and i think it is the best couple i have ever scene. They are so innocent, and cute it is almost sickening XD

I have to say that the emotion in this show is great, and although we can anticipate a happy ending you never know the suspenseful twists and turns in that path.

'I'll wait' *cries*

It's amazing how they can make each episode ending so good all the time.

Tihs episode was really weird for me, i felt like it broke the shows flow.

The meeting, they friends trying to help. It's like a major hidden twist.

That's exactly the same way I felt! I thought she would be annoying. I can really appreciate her character now that they've given her more screen time. Before she was just Miho's friend, but now she has a much more significant role.

Haha, Takagi and Mashiro reminded me of Chouji the way they were eating the barbecue! XD

Not much manga progress in this episode, but the romance was great. Miyoshi and Takagi in the park was so cute - both times! The end reminded me of an all-out shoujo scene which, by the way, I liked.

Bakuman is just about half over now. I'm so glad there's a second season, because I really love this show! ^_^

I haven't read it either but I sorta understand their feelings.

I like how this show is going, and I loved the fight between Kaya and Mashiro.
I thought Kaya looked kinda odd when crying.

Awesome episode. Hattori is a boss, I didn't even see him eating much at all while Takagi and Mashiro were just chowing down like pigs.

Miho is such a little bitch though. Mashiro is standing right there inbetween her and her house so.... she just walks straight past him like he's some kind of spirit. I'm glad that this series got a sequel announced. One of my favorites this season and with J.C. going from 4 works (0 on-going) this season to 3 works (2 on-going I'm seeing good things in the future.

Yea, it progressing really slooowly. Like about 1.1 manga chapter per episode? There are 114 chapters out already :/

The story really picks up after ch40-50ish so I'm not sure why they are stretching this so much....But I guess they want to end this season with the end of volume 4? (Hopefully)

J.C. Staff is way too busy for that ;D

I mean we gotta get our Shana Season 3 on. Maybe another season for Zero no Tsukaima that has been rumored for forever. More Railgun. Maybe Maid-sama. The content available to animate on a lot of their series are in high demand. xD

She was ugly when she first started crying and then it was cute later. And then at graduation one random girl was ugly-faced also.

Anyway, not the best episode but cute all the same. Do middle schoolers really wear clothes like Kaya's o.O :L

Edit - Since the second season has been announced i think that probably means it's going to stay this pace forever...anticipation is killing me so i think i'll pick up the manga :)

Now that I think about their love for each other, I find it that they're pretty stubborn, refusing to go on dates or whatsoever, but I see their devotion about meeting each other again after their dreams come true.

This episode was full of Miyoshi, that btw she seems to be completly right about how stupid their relationship is. Normally i don't like people mettling in other peoples affairs but they are so annoying like that, that i feel for Miyoshi.

Screencaps full of awesome Miyoshi moments.

Funny and badass moments.

Simply beautiful, cute and sexy.

Maybe its just me, but Miho x Mashiro development seems a little slow, probably because I haven't read the manga yet. I mean didn't Miho promise Mashiro she'll wait already?
I just love Miyoshi in this episode, so diabolical haha. <3
I'm just looking forward to developments with them becoming better mangaka's and Miho's voice acting, etc.

Well i think its good some of these episodes come once in a while , i even want these episodes to come more often.

It would be boring iff its just seeing them make manga all the time.
And it even looks like they have confirmed a new season to!!

This episode was great though.

But in all seriousness, it was a good episode. I wish thel romance moved a bit faster because they're spending way too much time trying to show how it's not insane to them and kinda romantic when it's clearly really insane.

I swear the writing for this show is so fucking terrible...

They should drop the whole romance subplot hard and fast and just focus on manga making with burning manly passion.

Whole Azuki/Mashiro thing is worst written "romance" I've seen in ages.

I mad.

It took me 12 episodes of Bakugan to realize that:
1) I LOVE Kaya
2) I LOVE Akito
3) I LOVE Akito x Kaya
4) I neither like nor dislike Miho
5) I hate Moritaka

So basically, I'm only continuing to watch this to see more of Kaya and Akito.

it cannot get more shojo than that, please..

azuki's gonna be gone for a while, i hope jc staff won't suddenly alter the plot to make her appear more.. i don't think i'll like it so much..

Koko teacher! aka Chicken teach (the one Mashiro drew for Miho when the teacher was *it's like koko and koko too and you do the sum koko koko* xDDDDD) It's funny to see him like that xD

Oh I'm happy to know that a Second season is already announced... So I dun have worries for them to rush this Anime or even adding some fillers 'cause so far the series are way behind than the current plot on the manga. Neway it's awwesome to see Shujin's and Kaya's relationship develop like this animated... Never really noticed before it was like that... But know everything makes sense to me in that regard...

Although it didn't have that much stuff involving manga, it had some really important stuff thrown in there... Hattori betting on them so confidently... He really trust them a lot. It's funny to know that such things happen in JACK... ME wonders how near reality is that... Still Hattori is so dedicated... They really need to take advantage of that and use him for their well-being... Of course Hattori could get a higher position on from there... Being successful and all n_n

Monad is totally right... Really people like Miyoshi mingling over such personal matters and being totally nosy about the whole deal are the worst kind you can get across with when you're in such delicate matters as love, but in this case Kaya's totally right. Even the characters inside the Anime that know of Miho x Moritaka are so pissed that they really don't understand why they're so stubborn and childish.... It does suck that they barely talk to each other... Somehow the few lines they speak to each other make up for the whole pissed moments we got form them...

Anyway Kaya's right to try to make things work between Azuki and Saiko... And she was successful in the end :P I'm pretty happy for what happened in this episode. Plus we got to see again how how Kaya is... Just look at that determined sexy pose... that gotta be appealing and if it's not then you got something bad in your eyes. To girls and boys alike... It's hard to ignore... Tho I thought it was a bit weird first hand, you can still see the sexiness out of it... Really hawt pose... SO then next chappie we'll know how well they did on NEXT... me wanna see that already!

I love romance and everything, but this is getting too soapy D: I'm actually surprised there are no bubbles floating in the air! Yes, they are cute, but this is way beyond any romantism D:

Shujin and Kaya on the other hand are awesome XD LOL, so I guess only I thought to myself that Kaya will be one of my favourites when I first saw her, and didn't think she would be boring or annoying ;ooo

btw, their editor kicks ass :D

At least they said something at graduation. It's kinda shoujo-ish but it's not that bad... i think.

Mashiro is supposed to be the main character, and Shuujin the partner, but seriously Mashiro must be one of the most boring main characters ever. On the other hand, Kaya should be promoted to be a main character so ShuujinxKaya should just become the new duo. =D =D

Hattori is really committed. How much more awesome an editor can you get?

As for the main character's romance; I find them the least interesting romantic pair...

Hopefully they draw me in more.
