Story (9/10): It's straightforward and kept interesting with plot-twists at the right places. While it's no more than a simple slice of life story it progresses at an satisfying pace and doesn't really have any shortcomings. The most wonderful thing with Bakuman is how interesting it is despite lack of action - I was really suprised!
Art (9/10): It's pretty detailed for being a slice of life anime and there's plenty of variety. I also liked how the anime presented the mangakas work in such a dramatic way.
Sound (8/10): I didn't notice any shortcomings, but it was always spot on for the comic, drama and plot-twist scenes.
Character (8/10): The character development is amazing, I really started rooting for the mains Mashiro and Takagi. I think that's because they're easy to identify yourself with and their struggles for their dream is something most people can relate to.
Enjoyment (9/10): I strongly recommend this if your anything into slice of life anime. It has alot of strong points and isn't just some clichèd life-lesson learned story. Watch it already!
