So glad to have another half years worth of Bakuman anime to follow. They started it off so well, the opening is really good (well even though I could immediately tell that it was the same singer who did the Sankarea OP, the instrumental sounds like it uses the same instruments etc...) and even has the volume 13 cover and the ending theme is catchy. I had really wanted to see this animated as it was funny, cool and touching. I love how Saiko and Miho act whenever they get caught up in some situation. Lovely romance drama awkwardness is always a joy to see for their age group to me. When Saiko rushed in to take her from Voice acting and then they held hands and then he reacted all awkward to it, and then to her advances to continue holding hands, lol. Awesome..

Alright after watching the subbed version I thought this episode was pretty good. The Niizuma scenes were funny, same with the holding hands part at the end.

I was kind of disappointed that they didn't continue the trend of showing their anime opening in the first episode. Like how they had Super Hero Legend from Bakuman or Detective Trap! op from Bakuman 2. It didn't ruin the episode, but I wanted to see something.

I love how the opening for this anime has everyone imitating their manga or holding props from their manga. Niizuma has his Crow outfit, Fukuda is on a mini-cycle, Aoki is being slightly provocative. and Hiramaru is holding a Otter (and i think he's holding his fist in the air... can't remember).

the op was good until the vocal part :/

I was expecting a more matured voice. Disappointing really.

the overall episode was good. had some cheesy romance but still found it quite funny and the animation is the same as ever.
4/5.

Yeah I thought there was going to be an opening too, but I guess later there might be one.

LOL @ Mashiro being so awkward around Miho xD I laughed so much, but in a good way.

Quite an enjoyable 1st ep all around.

This. I didn't really like the other op's either, so I was hoping for something good. And I really liked it when the music started, until the singing. Ahwell.
The episode itself was really good. I'm so glad Bakuman is back. It always makes me want to draw something.

Iwase turned into full-bitch mode, but as much as it will affect the main characters, I cant seem to hate this pave of plot. Somebody has to play the bad guy, and she aint holding back. It'll be good to see how the protagonists take action from there; making them either more respectable or more deplorable.

And I like the fact that Nizuma was so understanding. It's nice having a rival as not only a friend, but also one of your number one fans. His moments were definitely a win for me in the episode. I cant help but laugh at the moments in season 1 before his introduction, I was getting ready to hate him and all that pent-up anger just... vanished. POOF!!!

ooooooo possible romance between Eiji and Iwase huh? Hope this makes her a better person.

So do opposites attract? XD

Pretty good first episode though they started with romance, which is most boring thing in this series imo :P But... Is it only me, or Miho got less annoying? Finally they are no't acting like kids from kindergarden. Now it's about middle school I'd say :D
Anyway, Eiji was win of this episode (why, of course), I've already forgot how AWESOME he was :D Can't wait for some more manga-about episodes :)
Btw, I don't like opening and ending, such a boring songs, sound like ones from shoujo anime :( Blue Bird, Dream of Life, where are you?

Probably not, they still have around 80+ chapters left, I don't think they can adapt all of them in these 25 chapters. Hopefully we'll get a 4th season either after this directly or we'll have to wait until fall 2013, who knows, we'll have to wait for some official announcements about the matter.

This is a sleeper pick for best show out there right now. Niizuma is still the king.

Someone needs to make a GIF of Niizuma making the heart with his arms.

Awesome to see Bakuman again, great opener. Iwase was freaken annoying this entire episode but Niizuma being well Niizuma was enough to cancel her out XD, can't wait for the next episode. This episode reminded me how long waits can be for Bakuman...

Good episode, as usual Mashiro and Azuki are perfect together
But, Is it just me that felt something weird with Mashiro's voice acting?
OP and ED are nice but I like the previous OPs and Eds better

I found this episode bored as hell. After all, the relationship between miho and mashiro is one of the weak points of the manga and, in this episode, it was the protagonist of the situation. Maybe i'm kind of (pre) dissapointed about the events that the anime will show. One thing is sure, the best of bakuman was in second season.

Finally, my long awaited Bakuman is back. That being said, what's with OP and ED? I just can't like them, no matter how hard I try, especially the OP. What's with that voice?

Niizuma being awesome as always, what a weirdo. And Mashiro and Azuki, so damn stubborn, though I wonder why there weren't any Otakus who recognised her? I mean she's very popular after all.

Loved the first episode. After all this waiting i can say that i'm relieved to have Mahiro and Miho back to together! I just love their love story.

If only everyone could be just like them.
