| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- lol~ very funny when pair convincing the editor and seeing Niizuma Eiji in person. New ED: Genjitsu to iu Na no Kaibutsu to Tatakau Mono Tachi (現実という名の怪物と戦う者たち)" by Yuu Takahashi (高橋優) OP is still the same except the lyric (different part of the song) and the clip. |

| Now THIS is what I've been waiting for. We are finally getting into the more exciting parts of the manga, with the rivalry between Nizuuma Eiji and Takagi + Mashiro finally heating up. A lot of tension in the air, with lots of drama and such. Definitely much more like the manga counterpart this episode, with the "hot-blooded manga drawing" finally kicking in some more. Oh, and we get an alternative OP theme and a new ED theme. Not a huge fan of the ED though. ED theme: |

| I always love it when animes use the second verse as a new opening. The new ED song was pretty good too, though the vocals will take some time to get used of. |
| I don't know about you guys but i think im just watching these episodes because i want to see some Eiji clips.. i don't care much about it anymore :D i love manga more :D If you get impatient or somewhat then manga all the way :D |
 |
| Finally the real showdown starts! |
 |
| Such determination in their eyes!! Nizuma is such a nut job :O |
| New OP and ED!! still liked the first version of Blue Bird and the first ED song better, but seeing the kiddie versions of Mashiro, Takagi, Miho and Kaya is really cute.. and finally more new characters included in the OP and ED, can't wait for them to be introduced in the show.. finally the rivals (or friends) meet, that sure was exciting to watch.. lots of epic craziness from Eiji, and now he's growing wings as well.. hahaha.. guah!! why is there still no full version for Blue Bird?? I'm dying to hear it for ages.. X( |
 |
| pretty badass episode lots of yelling haha, DO A barrel roll!! really hope thats what eiji really said. |
 |
| where can i watch this ep? help :S |
| I assume they will be able to make a good enough mainstream manga. I wonder what Eiji will think of their mainstream manga. |
| yeah new opening and ending song!!! |

| Loved the fight in the begining. I was kinda hoping for a new OP since I don't like the current one and the new ED isn't that good either. |
| Real Hell is inside a person-Ai Enma (Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae) Do you know where hell is? Inside your head-Chrona (Soul Eater)  |
| lol I loved the scene which Nizuma meets Mashiro and Takagi. That guys is such a weirdo but I find it ironic that he actually enjoyed their first manga. Overall I thought this episode was pretty good with a good amount of drama. |
 |
| Really nice episode. I was surprised to see Nizuma's social side in this episode. I didn't expect him to be so warming to Mashiro's and Takagi's manga. Was good to see and it would be awesome if theres some episode in the future with them all hanging out. I like the different part to the OP song and the ED is great. Nice song and good animation. |
 |
| I greatly enjoyed this episode... not boring in a least. Very entertaining. I LOVED Eiji's interaction with the boys... aaaand the "You have a big boobs.....it's good for a girl to have a big rack..." scene lol. |
  |
| Niizuma is just...whoa! O_o I watch this show just for Hattori. I love him!! |
 |
toodles said: Two weeks, actually. There wasn't an episode last week. Totally know what you mean, though. Felt like I hadn't watched it in such a long time.i missed bakuman and it had only been a week. This was probably the best episode yet. I've been waiting for Mashiro and Takagi to meet Eiji ever since they introduced his character. "These are the guys that wrote 'Money and Intelligence.' I loved your manga. I'm a big fan!" Pace complainers should feel a lot better about this episode, I hope. It felt pretty good to me. Loved every minute of it. Eiji got quite a few brownie points from me after this episode, too. Oh yeah, and a I loved how both of our lovely editors were going, "What do you think you're doing!?!?!?" at the same time. :D |
    |
| A great episode, and I'm loving the new OP. |
 |
| Loved it to death. Really good episode & it seems like the series is picking up the pace a little bit, which is good. Eiji is simply incredible. One of the best supporting characters...kind of makes me think of Izaya for some reason. Got to love crazy characters. X3 Bakuman & Kuragehime were my favorite anime of the Fall 2010 season. I am so happy Bakuman got a 2nd season. (: Now if Kuragehime got a 2nd season, I would die & go to Heaven in happiness. 5/5. |
| As usual fantastic episode. Lots of Eiji, and he didn't fail to impress. |
| I. FUCKING. LOVE. PROGRESS. |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| "You have big boobs!" LOL |
 |
| Liked the pair meeting with Nizuma. Nizuma is such a funny character. The new OP visuals were good but I liked the OP 1st verse better. The ED esp. the pen drawing was great. I'm looking forward to the new characters. :) |
| i make it short Eiji rules! he owned this ep completly :D. |
 |
| I'm glad they've finally put a bit more effort into Eiji, I was always wondering what he thought of Takagi and Mashiro. Hopefully next episode has more of him too. |

| Nizuma = win. I wonder if he really said "do a barrel roll" or was that just the subbers having fun. "I don't have any talents" . . . "You're nice" . "you have a big rack" I fucking lol'd. |
 |
| best episode till now =) awesome Eiji |
| So glad I'm sticking with this series, I'm absolutely hooked. Eiji got some interesting development here too, look forward to seeing how their rivalry progresses! |
| Huh. At this point in the manga I remember veering towards disliking Niizuma, but the anime makes him so likable! And at this point in the manga I know I didn't dislike Mashiro, but he comes across really annoying in the show. Weird. Anyway, great episode. I was hoping we'd get a new OP, since I hate this one - and when I saw Hyde's name appear in the credits, I hoped beyond hope it would be Hyde or L'arc, but alas, it's a different version of the same song. Blah. Ah well, hope Hyde does a good job of voice acting as, uh, Koogy's producer. Very significant role. *sigh* |

| Eiji is a cute bastard. |
| If I had the duty to watch over eiji, I guess i would've dug a hole and buried myself... great episode loved everything about it:) |
| Still not totally impressed on the anime's pacing, but it's getting better. I really dig the new ED though, both the song and animation. |
 |
| I also think that this was the best episode so far. It's really getting good. Eiji is so lovable, seriously. He might be my favorite character in the show as it goes on. And we finally got to see some new characters -OP & ED- I can't wait for that dude who looks like Squalo to show up. At first I didn't like Eiji's editor but now he kinda seems interesting too. Well, it's for sure he & Eiji got me lol'd many times. ...And Kaya pwned Takagi again, lol. I like those two together. She's more interesting than Miho imo. Anyways, looks like Miho tries her best too though. But don't beat me up for that, Mashiro and she is just... so boring for me. Mashiro's been acting really selfish, but if Takagi's thinking the same way he does, it's okay I guess. Can't wait for the next episode. |
     |
| That was a pretty funny episode. Loved the part where Eiji meets Takagi and Mashiro, that part was so funny. Eiji is such an oddball but I wonder why I found him adorable? And new ED is nice too. |
| Loving Eiji!! I want to read the manga so bad but that'll spoil the anime for me. Anyways them meeting Eiji for the first time was the best part in the whole episode. Plus the part were they both had different mangas than the editor thought. I'm curious to see how they're going to end the anime already and start a 2nd season. I would have just contiue the thing without another season. ED was cute! Love seeing the child charas:) |
 |
| Eiji wanting to be friends with them is hilarious. They're so serious about beating him while he's a harmless kid who loves their work. |
| Ara ara. |
| Good episode. I haven't read the manga, so I wouldn't REALLY know, but the pace seemed faster in this episode which was nice. Looking forward to the next episode :D |
| よ！僕はジェフです。エンジニアです。日本語が下手です。もっと勉強しなきゃいけない！ |
| *snort* I can't remember the 'Do a barrel roll!' but it was hilarious XD |
| Whooo i wonder what they are going to draw this time , the OP and ED were nice tho. |
| It feels like the show has picked up the pace a little bit, but in return it seems like the artwork is a bit worse than the usual...? |
| haha didn't expect to see Eiji being so friendly with the two. Loving the new ED! |
