Oh the joy of hearing 'anime'


Pretty good episode overall and glad Miho got more screen time. Well, becoming a seiyu isn't easy anyways. 5/5.

For some reason, this episode reminded me a little of Sakurasou no Pet Kanojo

Tears in joy. lol~. Wow, new Editor-in-chief's reason is nice.

That thing begins, and Miho is getting more screen time now. That seiyuu girl... writing that on the blog seems like intention to me for her to get the role.

I came to this discussion board to say the same thing!!! It's beyond frustrating every week trying to get a regularly subbed release of this show, i don't understand why every other series comes out either early or right on time but bakuman has almost a week late on subbed releases. SAGE was great for the first 2 seasons but this season its a mess.

I have found that this season has been a lot better then season 2 overall with the time waiting for an episode to come out.

Also subs are now out, just finished watching and once again the episode just flew by. Glad to see more Azuki.

I love this episode SO MUCH! :D Mashiro and Takagi finally got an anime adaptation from their manga. Miho is seriously the best girl. She went on to tell the truth to her fans and had to put up with a few male fags who raged at her confession. I seriously liked how Mashiro was the last caller and expressed what he wanted to say to everyone on-air. Mashrio X Miho is definitely OTP! xD

It's been a while since the hospital scene, but once again Miho comes through in the clutch. We don't see her a lot on the screen, but after this episode I'm totally convinced that the two of them have a real relationship.

Also it's nice to see someone standing up to some of the more pathological features of "idol culture" and speaking out for real relationships (as opposed to fantasies that only exist in certain otakus' minds). In light of some of what has been going on with AKB48, this is really refreshing.
Please don't feed the trolls!

(but now when you think abt it, the story feels a lot like Death Note which was what our two RL mangakas have already done XD) cant wait for the next ep!!!

A wonderful episode. Really liked it. But seriously, WHY DID THE PRODUCERS HAVE TO MAKE THAT MUCH CUTS FROM THE ORIGINAL MANGA WORK?! I just checked the parallel manga chapters, there are still gaps even in the last episodes. Although some people say some of the reductions are OK since they just tell some uncessary details and unfunny parts, I still wanna see them! Of course I will read the manga from the beginning when the anime ends, like I did with Death Note, but this is just indignity to the original work. I do not know who decides this, but fuck you!

And, fuck you too you red-haired bitch. You are just jealous and inappropriate and immature. Go die.

Miho was so awesome. Really love the way she confronted to her fan honestly, and also the call from Mashiro to the radio program was moving as well.
A perfect 5/5 episode for me.

It wasn't her that created the rumor. She just posted a blog saying that a famous mangaka was dating a seiyuu she admired, nothing more, nothing less. The person that made it into such a big deal was the guy that Takagi punched the hell out of in middle school. The wannabe mangaka.

And the haters we didn't see. This episode cut a lot of hate that Ashirogi and Azukl received from the Otaku. CDs being split and volumes of Ashirogi's manga being burnt and even Fukuda's part was cut.

You're not the only one. While the episode had its moments you can clearly see they're rushing through the chapters to get everything done in time. So yeah, the pacing's been all over the place on this season.

I can only hope that they give us a longer epilogue than the one in the manga.

I've felt like I was one who's on the hot seat when Miho started talking and answering the phone calls and I was the one who burst into tears instead when Mashiro called xD

The first caller is definitely an otaku.

Miho is so mature and professional with her answers. She may have lost so many fans from that but she gained a new one here :D

What are you talking about? Sage didn't even sub the first season, and apparently they were always a week late for the second season too.


Anyway, I regret reading the manga now because I feel so disappointed in how they adapted this episode. So many scene skips ....most notably Fukuda is missing in action and that middle school classmate who went on Ririka's blog, put 2 and 2 together and started the rumours was a jealous NEET (guess who). I was so totally expecting Azuki to be called a bitch by one of the callers and admitting on radio that she was still a virgin but blah. Thanks J.C. Staff.

Not gonna lie, I teared up a bit when they finally got the anime adaptation and Mashiro fell on the floor, haha. I was just thinking about how hard they've been working to get to that point. And teared up a bit more towards the end. This was a beautiful episode! I'm really gonna miss this series when it's over :(

Oh god. This episode is just fantastic!!!
They got an anime... but it sure escalated quickly after the media know the truth.
This was really portrayed better in the manga since there is more elaboration... I hate how the anime is so restricted. Sigh.

But anyways, I am on the edge of my seat as they went through the part with Azuki!!! Ahh!!

this is one of the few mangas that i actually followed and read through the end. I have to say, i wish i didnt. The anime is great, dont get me wrong, but knowing what was going to happen next just spoiled it for me.

anyway, i dont think there will be a rushed trainwreck. from what i remember on how the manga ended, it actually looks like they might be adding more stuff than whats in the manga to fit in the last 3 episodes.

correct me if im wrong, im too lazy to recheck and from what i remember, the fukuda scene is after what happened in the radio station shown in this episode 22? so it might still be coming up

also, from what i remember (again i could be wrong, its been a while since i read the manga) there are only three major scenes left until the end;
1 is the fukuda scene (i so wished people put this in spoiler but no point in that now)
2 is the audition (which is showed in the preview for 23
and 3 is the finale scene

thats why i mentioned in the top that it seems like they might be stretching these or adding parts because hardly those 3 scenes would amount to 3 episodes. maybe 2 episodes, but not 3. maybe a longer epilogue that someone wished in this thread?

(again, everything is my memory from a long time ago. so i could be wrong)

I completely agree. Personally, I didn't really miss the Fukuda part, but without the rest it lost a good deal of impact compared to the manga. Azuki probably has had a total of 30 minutes of screen time across 3 seasons of the anime - don't rush her entire ending arc FFS.

I could never understand why people in the show had such a problem with Mashiro and Azuki dating and wanting to include each other in their lines of work. I mean why was it such a big deal?! Who cares?! Judd Apatow does it all the time!

Anyway, great emotionally touching episode. Hopefully Azuki manages to snag the role after all of this buildup. lol.

Miho's situation kinda reminds me of that Japanese idol who went to the extremes of even shaving her head bald in order to apologize. All in all, watching this episode reminds me of how pathetic it is for people to focus on the lives of celebrities.
