| What an interesting season this had been! I wonder if all of it is very accurate to how manga and anime is developed as that is so interesting to know how it all works behind the scenes. Azuki x Mashiro were talking on the phooone! >‿< Feels like their dreams are getting closer, can't wait to start the next yay. |

| Such an enjoyable and entertaining series. The romance between Azuki and Mashiro is kinda weird with them only texting and never talking or seeing each other. Also, accepting a marriage proposal just like that is pretty unrealistic too but who am I kidding!? This is anime after all and I may have been pondering that a little too much. In the end, all that matters was that this series was really enjoyable to watch and for that I'd give it a 9/10. |

| Omedeto! Congratulations! Felicidades! Beautiful last season episode, with all that you want in a series (although bloody fights xD), tension, drama, love and tears. The dream is near, and now they have the confirmation, the yes, to take the series to the paper, to the manga, and in a future in a anime, but this is the future, Kekeke 25 episodes, i enjoy with them, and this series is a suprises for me, i think that was worst jejeje 9/10. and see you in the secon season :) |
| This was a fun one. I really liked how this avoided a lot of lame tropes. Things like winning right away or leaving their manuscript on the train ect. Even the school bully was redeemed at graduation. All of those things helped make this show very enjoyable to watch. The thing is that the stuff I didn't like was really annoying. The existence of Koogy was pointless and was just there to cause a ruckus that didn't even matter in the end. Niizuma was a character that never got the development he deserved and just stayed this annoying brat the whole season. Aoki was just there to be there really, it wasn't like we were going to lose to a character that was just introduced an episode or two prior. Same thing for the new guy whose name I can't even remember. The biggest annoyance of them all though is definitely the relationship between Mashiro and Azuki. Jesus, you've spoken a few sentences to each other since you were kids yet somehow you're in love with each other with plans to get married?! You don't even know one another! To the opposite end I also want to make a point about how great Miyoshi was. She came in at the start and I thought she was just going to be the friend of the MCs love interest but she turned out to be a really cool and interesting character. She seemed to understand their goal of becoming mangaka and didn't just pout that Takagi wasn't hanging out with her. You wouldn't see that in most other anime with characters like her. All of my complaints aside I really did like this anime and am going to be watching the second season with hopes that the things I didn't like might get better with time. 7/10 |
 |
| Damn it's great to see Koogy was just a no one and Mashiro and Takagi got what they deserved after working so hard. A shame Fukuda and Nakai didn't make it, but they aren't beaten by it, so that's a good thing. Finally Azuki speaks with Mashiro aswell after so long! Overall a pretty solid series with some weak points, so 7/10 |
 |
| I gave a 7, the story was kinda boring although they talked alot about interesting manga their anime wasn't all that interesting as well :( the art was normal, I have seen much better animation 7/10 As for the characters they were not that unique and didn't have that much of a development. 7/10 And for the vocals I didn't noticed any good voice actor except Moritaka's Grandpa and the Head chief. 6/10 |
| It was a great ending to a great anime! I'll definitely be watching the other seasons! |
  |
| Gee..how are they supposed to focus on school with the serialization meeting going on? I guess it's a good thing Mashiro and Takagi are good students. I haven't seen something this informative since that one episode of Paranoia Agent that took place during an anime production. (Also keep in mind I haven't watched Shirobako yet.) "Jacks, three of a kind." They can't even play cards to pass the time in a tense situation like this. "Hey, want to go have fun somewhere?" "There's no fun allowed in manga." "Anyone can read manga. It takes talent to draw manga." And that why there is why I don't draw manga. I feel bad for Fukuda...his manuscript was great, pure-blooded shonen. I dunno what that stupid cheese manga is, but Fukuda deserves it more. It deserves a spot in Jump Jack. I'm glad Mashiro and Takagi got it though. Mashiro's mom still, I swear. "Once in a while, even women can understand that." Well, it's clear you don't understand it since you're still bitching about it. Though I am worried about Mashiro or Takagi eventually collapsing or something. The body can only take so much. This Miura guy sure is...enthusastic...i'm not sure if I trust him as editor. Gave this first season overall an 8/10. Plan on watching the next two seasons but dunno when since I've got so much to watch... |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Satisfying ending good anime overall 7/10 |
| One of the best shows I've seen in the last few years. With the exception of a few very minor complaints, I honestly can't think of any major problems I had with the show. There's so much to praise about this show, but it's the perfect blend of everything that made it come together and feel so real. They handled issues a lot more maturely than I thought and I really appreciated that as well. Going to finish the other seasons before I give my final thoughts because there's so much I want to write about. Really hoping the quality doesn't drop, but I'll put my faith in the show since they've given me no reason to doubt them yet. |

| This anime. Damn, it got me. I was really satisfied for the first four episodes. I rooted for each and everyone one of them. I was being highly interactive especially that at the time they have won some awards. Especially the Golden Future Cup. I can literally feel their ups and downs, especially in the fight that I don't want to see at all. But it got quickly resolved, so it's alright. Can't wait to see the fulfillment of their dreams. Especially Moritaka x Miho. That pure and innocent love. 10/10 |
 |
| Nice way to end the first season, looking forward to diving into the second! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Great finish! Sad to see Hattori stop being Ashirogi's editor though >.< |
 |
| Amazing overall. The ending were done great and now I’m looking forward to watch Season 2. 8/10 |
| Great conclusion to the first season, with Ashirogi Muto succeeding in Shady Detective TRAP getting that serialization approval. They're now officially mangaka publishing in Weekly Shounen Jump. Took quite some time for them to get there, a couple years already since Takagi met Mashiro and asked him to link up and become mangaka together. They've come so damn far already, but still have ways to go to accomplish Mashiro and Azuki's dream of marrying each other once their manga becomes successful and gets an anime adaptation. If only they released their manga during the current era, where getting an anime adaptation is easy as hell if you can survive for more than 30 chapters lol. Going to be quite hectic for them dealing with the weekly life of deadlines while in high school at the same time. I loved the tension building of the previous episode and this one, and the climax was well handled too. Poor Fukuda won the Golden Future Cup along with Ashirogi Muto but failed to get serialized due to his repetitive nature of chapters he had while a genius who's only been drawing for a month got serialized in Kazuya Hiramaru lol. Call at the end with Azuki congratulating Mashiro was sweet. Overall, an excellent first season with this rewatch. This show just continues to age better for me consistently over time with each watch/read I give it. This season was such a smooth ride for me with great, natural pacing that never felt too sluggish to watch nor rushed, and had so many great characters and narrative moments already with solid progression I have to say. It only gets better from here, I'm excited. 10/10 for season 1 as expected again. |
| Hmm this is where I stopped in the manga, can't wait to see what the Detective Trap journey looks like and who Miura is. |
   |
| I binged this show in 3 days. This show really surprised me. I don’t feel the complaints that other people had. I enjoyed every moment of it. Humor was great as well. It was intriguing see how manga are chosen and the work behind it. Am easy 10/10 but let’s see if s2 can keep up the same quality. |
  |
| Well seems like Ashirogi Muto gotta move on to the next level |
| It's kinda sad that Hattori is not their editor anymore..... |
| Lol they finally talked, guess it will take centuries for them to sleep together... |
| Man, they'd been hyping this up for a bit and it delivered! Both Mashiro & Azuki's first conversation over the phone and the results of the serialization meeting. It's honestly been a little stupid in many ways how the former played out throughout the course of the season xD but the latter hit the spot, I love how the anime put so much attention into the three emerging newbies' battle first and then a glimpse into the meeting. Credits to the Editor Chief for addressing the issue on the youth workload aspect, it took a worrying turn for a bit. "Yes or No" - Gee, I know it ought to be obvious to begin with but it's still pretty harsh, isn't it? It's great to see Fukuda-sensei and Aoki-sensei even more determined though, I'm sure their opportunity will come in good time. Niizuma-sensei's little talk was pretty cool too. Definitely curious about that 26-year old genius though, it's insane that he's managed to get a serialization set in such a short time! Mashiro and Takagi sure got negative like a downward spiral during waiting phase, lol. Who can honestly blame them though? Miyoshi chipping in whatever help she could and just her usual banters were fantastic, I did say that Takagi would almost certainly go down as my fav character of the series but she's putting up a real good fight. I didn't expect to like her this much, lol. Looking forward to more Miyoshi x Takagi moments! And please some proper development for the main couple, lol. On to another aspect that I'd like to touch upon as well. Dat cliffhanger! New editor? And Season 2 announced like that? Perfect! I like where this is going. All in all, it's been a great season! A bit of a dry patch somewhere towards the middle but it captured the struggles really well and I'd a blast over the last day and a half. Going to miss the 2nd ED theme quite a bit honestly, I became really too attached to it and couldn't help but vibe to it when it started playing at the start. Never really got into the Op in all honesty but, for some reason, I feel like it set up the episodes well so credits for that. 9/10 |

| they build the tense right to the point. LOL everyone playing cards. ashirugi getting serialized! we got some development of mashiro x miho, they can talk! (LOL that's sound so bad and sad...) --- S1 isn't my favourite, it have the slowest pace from all the seasons. first half was really slow and more slice and life, but 2nd half showed what so good about bakuman. though really S1 is just big build-up for S2, where the true story begins. 8/10 |
| So, at the end of the day only Moritaka and Takagi got serialized. Take that Aoki! I'm not sure how I feel about them landing on Detective TRAP as their manga though. I guess if the main characters are meant to be representations of Obata and Ohba themselves, then this manga could be a variation of Death Note; even though they already reference Death Note within this universe. But, maybe it'll be really interesting and do really well? I guess Season 2 will tell. In terms of what to rate this season, I'm pretty torn. I think it could easily be an 8 or 9, but I really can't get behind how ridiculous and forefront MoritakaxMiho and their stupid, unnecessarily long distance relationship is. I don't want to reward this series too much, simply because that romance was throw in our faces way, way too much. Worst of all, it's continuously defended, even though it's clear everyone within the series, Moritaka and Miho included, recognize how absurd and abnormal it is. My only hope is that now that Moritaka is serialized, and Miho is actively pulling voice acting gigs, they'll start to close the distance between themselves. But, at the same time, how this season ended made it clear they aren't going to just outright start dating immediately. It seems we're still looking at baby steps at best. Otherwise, this series pretty much does everything else right. I'm definitely looking forward to how this plays out and what's going to happen to Moritaka and Takagi. |
