Had to face palm his speech though and the way he was explaining his ideas. Well, I'm glad the guys are confident once again. There's a new ED song this episode but not too sure if I like too much; seems alright I guess.

Hyadain OP, ok I guess.

lol @ Salaryman mangaka x assistant mangaka combi!

The anime made it looks like Niizuma vs. Editor-in-chief!! lol~ and with that same seiyuus with Fukuda-san's anime!! It's happening. Very gambling way to end a series.

ED with very nostalgic feeling.

Great episode! I knew Niizuma was going to end Crow already so it wasn't that big of a shock, but I love how everyone was inspired to beat him. Now we'll see if anyone actually ends up surpassing Niizuma or not...

Yeah, I have the same feeling, but still 2nd opening is better for me (maybe cause I don't like nano.RIPE (that voice ( ¬ .¬)).

How they ended the episode was just spectacular! I'm psyched for the next episodes in their match with Niizuma.

I have no idea how an OP by Hyadain and an ED by JAM Project managed to come off as so... dull. JC Staff really dropped the ball visually.

As for the episode, it was fine. I have no idea if I find this new arc good or dumb, though.
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it!

I'm loving this new sub group! Finally we get to watch Bakuman with subs the day it comes out :)
Not digging the new OP and ED, but maybe (hopefully) it'll grow on me since it'll be the same songs until the end.
It was surprising to me that Niizuma wanted to end his own manga, but I guess it's understandable. You can keep making a profit, but if you don't even like the story and you want to end it the way you want to.. you should.. or not.. I don't even know the answer to that one xD
But anyway, I'm glad that everyone's motivated again! (except for Hiramaru, who totally cracked me up the whole episode) Definitely excited for the episodes to come.

Glad to see we got new OP, the old one was pretty bad in my opinion.

Also I lol'd hard @ the end, when everyone was going like "We'll surpass you and stop CROW from ending" and there's Hiramaru, not giving a flyin' f*ck hahahah.

Great episode this week.

Was half surprised by it being Crow, since i never really expected him to do something like pick PCP, because even tho it would have been a "twist" idk that in itself may have become predictable since people were expecting a twist on his pick, they kept mentioning Natural so that in itself solidified that his pick wasn't Natural, leaving the possibility of Crow.

It was obvious Nizuma would either end Crow or PCP, but I was still surprised when he said Crow xD
The logical way to beat Nizuma would be Ashirogi muto starting a new serialization as the newer serializations usually get first in the rankings, also PCP is meeting it's end in my prospective, there isn't much storyline around it any more, as opposed to the kind of storyline 'Detective TRAP' had xD

I already had the impression but now I'm sure. They are skipping the boring parts from the manga. XD

I'm relieved and glad they took this decision. This way the story can stay strong till the end, which will be this season.

Well, maybe I'm late realizing this now, I have not kept up with the subforum nor have I read news about Bakuman... >.>

Anyway, another good episode, though I didn't like much the new OP and ED, just as I didn't like the last ones. The other seasons had better... oh well, I guess you can't have everything.

Super Saiyan was funny! I love Hiramaru and his editor! I kind of miss Eiji's random action noises.. he seems too quiet. But damn he is so cool! Challenging all the mangaka to beating him.

I REALLY need to catch up with the manga before this ends.

EDIT: That ending was terrible!

Whoa, Eiji's going to finish Crow? I thought that he will end PCP so they can start with new manga, that could beat Crow, or someting. I really like it this way though, It's the best way to end good manga - when it's reaching the top. Well, I can see now why they aren't ending Naruto, Bleach and others :D Anyway, new arc looks pretty exciting!
Op/Ed songs are okay, I liked previous more though. Well, not at first, so I'll probably grow to like new ones as well :)

Do bad he ain't finishing PCP because that shit needs to end. Is a no prospect manga. It doesn't have a story, just events. It's just a flip coin Sket dance. Ashirogi are just wasting their talent on that.
Personally i think their whole philosophy is wrong. They are better at making something more mature and complex in a different magazine but they are too obsessed with being in Jump.

The new OP is decent yet it's really muffled, may be just for the TV release though.
The ending is pretty nice though, although the drums are extremely weak and the voices aren't loud enough. I don't expect anything from modern music though, it's usually mastered like shit.

The episode itself was great, I would like it if someone would surpass Niizuma, but I guess it won't be Ashirogi. They're still better at serious stuff after all.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

Some people actually thought Niizuma-kun would use that right to end one of Ashirogi's series...? O_o Um, he's a much deeper character than that. I'm surprised that after this many episodes it's still not clear he'd never do such a thing.

I think you are the one who doesn't get it. We never thought he could end their series out of malice or because he wants to stop his rivals but because he might wanted them to make something better and stop focusing on PCP that never had the prospect of beating him.

The opening is bad, the ending is "ok". Interesting episode to say the least. Niizuma is just awesome. :P

I'd like to end my works when I want to, too. Better than any crappy ending.
And why do they even care? Niizuma could easily write another #1 manga..
