| yes, hiramaru and otters 11!!! Captain-Z said: hopefully the second season would not be so abysmally paced. JC ruin this show bottom line. i agree completely... but they did pick up the pace a little towards the end so hopefully it'll stay that way. |
| For some reason, I was on the edge of my seat with anticipation throughout the episode, even though I knew they'd get serialized (I mean, c'mon, it's the freaking finale!). The ending with Miho and Moritaka was very sweet, too. Excellent episode and finale. Bring on season 2! For Bakuman season 1 overall, I give it a 7/10. It's almost an 8/10 but not quite, only because of the times when the pace slowed down and became almost boring or frustrating. Animation and soundtrack were nothing spectacular, either. Still, it was enjoyable and the last few episodes were great. It was also a nice change of pace from all the shounen action, the fluffy shoujo, and mind-hurting psychologicals. |
| Can't wait till 2nd season, really loved this series a lot and how everything played out in this last episode, which all fit together with the tension and comedy as well. |
 |
| although this anime stresses me =-= i'm looking forward for its season 2 .. |
| Yokata! :) Will definitely be back for season 2 <3 9/10 |
| yes Hiramaru! boo for Miura. wonder how much they'll cover in season 2.... hope the pace picks up more since there probably won't be a season 3. still enjoyable ending and a decent adaptation. |
 |
I wasn't in love with the show, but the season finale did a damn good job, I was interested and on the edge of my seat. Well I was mostly on my seat for the other two Golden Future Cup entrants. I had already been spoiled that Ashirogi Muto would make it to serialization with this meeting. Despite my blahzay feelings towards most of the first season, I am genuinely looking forward to the next season. Now it's just a matter of whether I should be patient or just go ahead and read the manga... hmmmm? |
 |
| Finally over. It was ok. |
 |
| So I guess I was the only one who wanted to see them not get serialized. I knew they would but just wanted to see them with the shocked look on their face and possibly have a little hint or thinking about giving up. Oh well. But overall it was an alright ending. I did like that part with them play cards and the Jacks. Series overall, 7/10. Agree with about the pacing but it was more than that. The nomance with Mashiro & Miho annoyed the hell out of me. Could have cared less about it. The supporting characters (like Fuduka and Nizuma, of course, and the editors) seemed to have more personality than Mashiro and Takagi. But I did like its focus on what it takes to become a manga author and the process to achieve it. The times it focused more on this than the nomance is when it shined, I think. I'll be waiting to see what happens in season 2. Sounds like it will be exciting so I'm looking forward to it. Plus I want to see what happens with Hattori (though I may read ahead in the manga and find out). One last thing, it did not feel like 2 years pasted. I know throughout they got older, graduated, seasons changed....basically time was moving. But when they mentioned it was 2 years, it didn't seem like it. To me its like time went, but it didn't at the same time. If that makes any sense. ┐(-_-)┌ |
| 2nd season is where the real drama begins. 9/10 can't wait for Hiramaru. |
  |
| 7/10 for this series. Slow and boring with some interesting parts. That's it. |
| omg!! I read a spoiler on Miura's character description.. stupid me.. =(.. don't read it if you don't want spoilers anyway good anime, I love it even if it is slow paced.. 8/10 for me..The manga writing story was actually a 9.5 for me but I need to deduct points about the romance.. I am not the fan of their romance, it was a little annoying (but sometimes its not) so 8 is reasonable for me |

| Great episode and series! 10/10 Can't wait for the second season! |
 |
| I was entertained well enough for the majority of it (and thus didn't find it that boring like some do), but it didn't really make a great impression either - "good" is the word. 7/10 |
  |
| seriously the suspense was killing me this is a great anime as well as a manga i loved it cant wait till season 2 |
| 10/10 Blood is rushing through my veins, man. |
 |
| Brilliant show. Great pacing imo.... interesting plot that kept you absorbed in it the entire time. I cannot wait for season 2. 9/10! |
  |
| It was a decent place to end the series I guess. |
 |
| I want Hiramaru more T~T |
| First of all Congratulation! :D I'm so happy. Very nice ending it made me smiling all the time when I'm watching this anime. And Azuki talked to Mashiro that part I was happy too. After watching anime I felt like I want to give my best to fulfill my dreams too. Man... can't wait for the 2nd season. Great anime! |
| 8/10 That was a very nervous episode. It's great that they got serialized and that Moritaka and Azuki finally talked again. I'm definitely coming back for season 2. |
  |
| Can't wait for season 2. :) |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Season 2 is gonna be cool, looking forward to it. Didn't think we'd see Miura quite yet but there he is. Overall, great series that got me to read a great manga as well. |
| Very pleased with how this anime turned out. Only reason its getting an 8 in my book is cause the opening episodes were such a WTF moment but it turned out to be a good move. Guess I'll refresh myself what on happened (dunno how close we are to chapter 90 in the anime) during the break and also get the new volumes that have been released in the states |
 |
| They sure chose a perfect moment in the manga to end the first season! Would have been better if they didn't show the part with Miura though.. |
      |
| Woot, serialization! Didn't leave me pumping my fists in joy like Kimi ni Todoke Second Season's ending, but it still made me happy to see these guys make it. Looking forward to seeing where the show goes from here this fall. |

| I'm happy they made it. Looks like the second season would start off with the new editor. |
| That was a cute ending for the most part. c: I'll be looking forward to the second season~ |
 |
| Dammit havent seen long time such an good series!! 10/10 cant wait for second season |
 |
| Yay yay! :) Gotta go read the manga now... |
 |
| This happened so long ago, that i totally forgot what happened. It feels nice to be watching the anime with a fresh perspective. The tension built up perfectly, and i liked how they went into so much detail about the selection process and the criticisms of each. Another genius? i suppose you could call him that... kinda forgot how he was introduced haha. This series got off to a rocky start, but near the end picked up the pacing and executed a series of flawless episodes. 10/10! |

| Well, at least Ashirogi's reactions to first Mashiro's hand when playing cards, and then when Miyoshi called were pretty good. And Fukuda's call to Ashirogi after the result. Was also lulzy. Not to mention Niizuma's "Conglaturations." And suddenly, new editor. Way to end a season. |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
Great end to season 1! There's one scene that really stood out to me: Miyoshi getting a bit excited there.... Takagi: "Ehhh, Saikou?" :-o Mashiro: "...can't stop grinning..." :-D Miyoshi: :-3 |
 |
| They finally got serialized, huh? |
 |
| I enjoyed this anime. Waiting for season 2 now. :))) |
| I have hunches: This may sound dumb to people who have already read the manga, if ever my theories were wrong. But this is posible, right? Eitherway, I loved the last episode. I really though they'd meet each other in the last part of the episode but there's still season 2 coming up for more romance between the two. |

We never see what mashiro dad looks like in the manga and the chracter you're talking about is not mashiro dad. In a different matter, this anime is going to have a lot of episodes! (YAY!) I mean i think episode 25 finished on chapter 30-40 in the manga! Adding to the fact that the manga gets another half a year to progress as well. |
 |
| Great anime, great work. Looking forward to season 2. |

| *claps* GREAT SHOW! I cant wait for season 2!!! 8/10 overall! One thing I cant stand about this show is how all the girl characters would have there eyes closed for a long amount of time...IT REALLY BUGS ME! XDD I just have to get that out... Great show! |
