Lol the nervousness for the phone call was the best part... though she was to nervous to go through with it...

Why would 14-year-olds like the detective story and the 17-year-olds like the typical shounen manga? Isn't is usually the other way round?

I was really happy to see that KOOGY didn't get even close to first.
It was pretty funny but sad that Azuki hung up on Mashiro.

Koogy got his ass kicked, I loved that!
I want to know who gets serialized, perhaps it will be all 3 of them!
I'm looking forward to the last episode of season 1.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

When Azuki hung up on Mashiro, that was a highlight of the entire anime LOL.

The lack of romantic development really bothered me this episode.
Those bitches better come face to face in the second season.

I wonder who's that mysterious guy that we often see but never saw his face. It have to be a big reveal for the first season ending.

Oh god, I would have felt so humiliated if someone I loved would have hung up on me. It was sad but hilarious at the same time xD

So the last mile's up ahead. Go go go!

I'm starting to hate Miho. Her immature outlook on love makes her seem really naive and full of herself, because she doesn't seem to know what she's talking about. Also Mashiro has no balls when it comes to girls like AT ALL. He can follow his dreams but can't talk to a girl he knew for years over the phone.
But I really hope Miho gets some development because as of now she annoys me.

The female characters in this series are so disappointing considering it has such compelling male characters /sigh. Aoki especially is such a disappointment so far she is such a terribly flat character. Although Azuki's phone call with Takagi was nice.

Gah! This has me on the edge of my seat! I hope they get serialized! I still don't trust the frizzy haired editor for some reason.

Oh my god, KOOGY REEEEEEEE'd because his piece of shit manga got destroyed in the final results. Dude's still got music and a fanbase who will support him no matter what, so he has nothing to complain about.

The fact that Colorfusical even got a 53% approval rating...I bet all of those were those KOOGY fans/girls who would have voted for him if he would have taken a shit and copied it on every page of the magazine.

The median age of Fukuda's manga approval was older, but is that really an issue? I would figure 17-year-olds are easier to sell stuff to than 14-year-olds, which is part of how these manga make money.

The easiest aspect of Bakuman to criticize in my opinion is the Azuki/Mashiro relationship. This whole "we can't have a proper relationship or even conversation until you're a published mangaka" thing is ridiculous. Azuki's mom was wise to share her own experience and basically tell her to stop being an idiot.

Congrats to both Ashirogi Muto and Shinta Fukuda for both tying and winning the Golden Future Cup together with pretty similar results achieved from them despite some differences like the gender-age ratios. Mashiro, Takagi, Fukada are all preparing chapters now hoping to be serialized as a result of this, with even Nakai and Ko Aoki preparing serialization names too with the approval of their editor as they all hope to get their first big manga running weekly in Weekly Shounen Jump. Pretty suspenseful episode overall as the anime holds the result of who is getting serialized to the finale.

Bonus too for Miho's mother admitting to Miho about knowing who she likes without revealing anything (she did keep that promise to Mashiro about being silent on the fact that she loved Moritaka's uncle before when they both were just sending letters for years). Miho contemplating on whether or not to call him after just sending each other texts all these times, but given how Mashiro might be getting serialized really soon, that call would definitely come in handy for a congratulations.

so we come to 1st season climax which is the meeting, really feel like this whole season is only build-up to this moment and next season.

LOL,takagi and miho sure felt suspicious.

miho's mother worrying about her daughter so she won't be like herself, that was pretty touching, and added a lot.

hattori and yuujiro talk was nice for mature talk, reminds me the elders talk in hikaru no go.

At least KOOGY didn't place very well. I think most people watching this can be happy about that. But, like I mentioned in the last episode, I wouldn't necessarily count him out. He could always become more of a threat in a later season. He's clearly got talent, but he's still got to work at it if he wants to be successful. So, if ends up working at his manga, he might git gud.

I'm glad Aoki ranked lower as well. That's what you get for barging into Team Fukuda's manga circle and then refusing to actually contribute.

Unfortunately now that the Gold Future Cup is out of the way, we're back to this annoying romance rhetoric. If not for how they were going about MoritakaxMiho I would like this series so much more. I feel like that aspect alone is going to keep me from scoring this higher.

I love this anime It's so addicting, though you all know the downside of completing an addicting anime that you like it's going to be a search to fill in the void that it creates.
