Story-8
-----------------
The story is so original and such a great idea. It's very well thought out. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the main characters' hard work and determination always resulting in failure up until the very end, when things finally came together for them. It was saddening as I watched through the show but at the end, looking back, it wasn't as bad as it seemed at that time. Once you reach the end everything is so climactic that most bad things from the past are forgotten. And I gotta say that when Miho finally gained the courage to call Mashiro, at the end made me tear up a bit, and it takes a powerful anime to do that to me.
Art-7
-------------
Simple yet sweet, the art of Bakuman is nothing to write home about, but it is enjoyable.
Sound-7
---------------
I really like the OP/EDs and themes. Not the best but good! Koji's song is by far my favorite though!
Character-7
--------------------
The characters of this show are a little weird to me. The relationship between Miho and Mashiro being the most strange. The way they are in love with each other but are too scared to talk to each other over a 2 year time span is crazy. Just something I cannot fathom, but maybe it's more of a Japanese thing. Overall though, the characters are very enjoyable.
Enjoyment-9
-------------------
Just sit back, relax, and have some snacks ready. I'd highly recommend watching this show in bulk because the faster you reach the end the more i think you'll enjoy the show. I didn't and I found it hard to get through for a while but around the end I just finally dug into it and loved it.
Overall-9
-------------------
This show will always be loved and remembered by me. I really hope this show paves the way for other similar animes in the future! It's a great show! Watch it!
