Are there really that little subbers for Bakuman season 3? I've been checking around online a bit. And it seems like every episode's sub gets released like a week later. Which makes it sadly tempting to watch the RAW

It has always taken a looong time for the subs to come out for this series.
I know Sage fan subs has been having a lot of problems lately and i just checked there website for an update & got a "domain not found".this could be bad.

im kinda surprised that hattori isnt going to the higher ups. it's just unrealistic for a professional like himself to keep hush hush. like sure you'll 'crush' nanamine and teach him a lesson but in reality, when all of the 'crushing' is over, will they spill the beans then? and if they do, how will the higher ups feel that they spent a shit load of money on a sham and used only to prove a point.

...yeah, not happening in reality when money, time, and reputation is on the line.

Even with the recent subs, they cant sub it properly! abt a quarter of the episode is not subbed in bits and pieces! the subs overlap each other too! i couldnt enjoy this episode because of it.

i was a bit sceptical as to whether it was Nakai shown at the end, but since the two gals gave the same compliments as Mashiro did, i guess it should pretty much be him. gosh, he put on some weight! i thought he would have slimmed down and steal Aoki heart instead.

I miss the epic Nizuma Eiji moments! When will he finally grace the episodes with more screen time????

So true. It bothered me too. I just hope that there will be some others versions, subbed properly.

You comment + Avatar... LOL!

Nakai is strong, with him working on the art... Hmm, unless Ashirogi come up with something amazing, they wont be able to beat Nanamine that easily.

I had a feeling that we didn't see the end of him, and I suspected him to be one of the 50 advisors... (and thought he's the one who backed out the earliest) Oh wells, looks like he's straying the right path again, somebody need to shove him one.

i don't know if it's that unrealistic. nanamine's manga was very popular so a business wouldn't necessarily give him the No so simply as that. Nanamine would also probably tell the public why he was canceled and cause even more hell for them.

if they do crush him then the goal is for him to learn his lesson and change his ways. the higher ups probably won't feel anything related to money because i am sure they get all sorts of promising chapter 1s that go downhill within a month or two.

but its an anime, so thats that.

Nakai is back. I forgot he appears at this point. He also gained a lot of weight.

This episode made me remember why I have Death Note vibes when I marathoned Bakuman after S2 ended. The next episodes should made that point stronger.

Don't worry, Niizuma will get a lot of screen time in this season. After checking, this episode ended at chapter 122, Niizuma's arc starts in chapter 131 or 133, so 3 more episodes and one of the best arcs in Bakuman (imo) starts.

Yoshida and Hiramaru took the crown for the funniest parts of the episode this week! I couldn't stop laughing when Yoshida thought Hiramaru committed suicid because he lost his serialization.

Aw snap, Nakai makes his return can't wait. I liked how in this episode they seeded parts about background art so the integration of Nakai seemed natural at the end with the big reveal.

Deadfish is not a subbing group.. they just re-encode released of other groups. Sage is the only group subbing Bakuman.

Nakai's return. This will cause a lot of chaos.
Hopefully they crush Nanamine in the next episode and do not drag so much.

Whoa, it looks like 4 eye girl who once dumped Nakai has hots for Shun.

Oh dear, Kosugi still hasn't got the balls to do what he has to do as Nanamie's editor.

So, Nakai is Naname's super assistant, I wonder if Nakai did delivered some apples to the duo as he promise from the previous season? Since he is from a place where apples are abundant.

Hiramaru really does provide the comic relief for this anime.

Blegh, Nakai. Never liked the dude.

I love how Ohba and Obata are channelling their views about manga into Bakuman. It's really cool to see what mangaka think about various issues like what Nanamine's doing.

Well it looks like Nakai has been drowning his sorows in pizza and high-calorie cola...On the other hand, he is a formidible artist which will help to maintain continuity for Nanamine's manga. His major lack (other than an overinflated opinion of his attractiveness to women--morbidly overinflated now..) has always been on developing a story to accompany his artwork. If Nanamine was an author instead of a compiler they could probably create a pretty good manga. As it is, Nanamine is about to learn why collaborating with 50 anonymous contributors from the internet is likely to fail (there's a reason why trolls can only get along with their sockpuppets...).

It also looks like Yuri really does feel something for Hiramaru, since she is willing to depend on him and reintroduce a male into her group of assistants.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Nakai shouldn't have been holding a slice of pizza, he should have had a chunk of broccoli. That guy needs a diet. -.-

I can't wait to see Ashirogi's reaction to Nakai's return. I had a feeling for a while that the dunce would come back.

Wow, it's has been so long I read this part in manga.

Oh Nakai, you look more hideous than before, poor guy.
This really feel like Death Note episode with the whole Ashirogi & Nanamine trying to out do each other.

Hiramaru part is hilarious. I love Hattori's & Kosugi's reaction when Yoshida running in the office & Hiramaru's recovery lol.
Too bad they cut the harem part. That's the most hilarious line from Hiramaru.

Why did Nakai turn into such an asshole? I had some respect for him earlier in the series because he didn't seem like a bad guy, but not I can only dislike him.
Very tense stuff, I wonder how this will turn out.
