PCP incidents (not only one, but two)... Shuujin is affected, but they were able to overcome it with Saikou's patience.

Assistant guy must liked the life before that he is painful... lol @ Salaryman mangaka.

Niizuma is getting serious at this point.

exactly. im not complaining about their speed, but there were a lot of misspelling and some timing is off. they dont sub the op or ed as well. BUT more power to them on having the subs out asap.

anyway, so glad the last arc is over. this epi is a good refresher on how awesome this anime is.

Nakai's lost his fucking mind. Oh boy. Here comes her knight in shining armor:



Anyways, this episode was pretty good especially when Ashirogi Muto used the controversial idea and turned it into their own profit. Like a boss. Time for a bro fist:

I was under the impression that all shows that will stretch over to winter 2013 are given a one week break. o.O (with the exception of Psycho Pass and Robotics Note being two weeks) but an episode was released, and i aint complaining! :D

- I thought it was nice of Fukuda to invite Nakai to join him as an assistant since they had worked together before.
- Aoki took it like a woMAN and was brave to allow Nakai to give her his frustration punch. Though of course, had Nakai did that, he'd be deemed as an unfavourable character thereafter.
- Hiramaru, I LOL'ed when you brought forth the horrors of manga and your editor.
- Shujin is really scary when he got pissed off. Poor Kaya. :<
- Glad that they made a chapter to show what PCP is really doing. *Good job, Ashirogi Muto!!*
- PCP is OK now right? Nizuma, I really wonder what goes you through your head. I hope you give us some wow-ing surprises~ especially on which manga you are gonna be ending~ though you might not get a chance if Ashirogi Muto emerges such best instead? ;P

Awesome episode as usual, I don't know why this series isn't more popular. I marathoned through it pretty quick :D

The subs are of lower quality indeed, but I'm not going to complain because I'm happy that atleast someone is subbing it.

PCP's comeback was great, and I really could feel Shujin's frustration. I sympathized with Kaya there as well, that must've been pretty tough.

Darn. They really rushed the contents.
This may look fine to an anime watcher, but for the ones who read the manga, this is pretty rushed.

Anyways, I love the parts where they have hardships as mangaka... it really gives the essence of what being a mangaka is!

Can't wait for the Nizuma arc! This is where he gets serious on that deal!

If I had to guess, after watching this episode (I haven't read the manga, so please nobody confirm my speculation) I think he wants to end One Piece since it's the only one that's been running for so long and it's the one that has been getting #1 all the time.

Ya, know that thing that happen to PCP where the manga was imitated by some lunatic criminal is not new in fact CSI was commented that it was promoting a way for criminal to cover their tracks, I guess that what they say about "Art imitates life."


Poor Nakai, from an illustrator to a hawker, still can't get enough of Aoki, man that fatso is really crazy.

It's really funny that Hiramaru wore the same kind of yellow racing suit that Bruce Lee wore in "Game of Death."

Oh boy Akito is going bananas over the PCP copycat incident, good thing Saiko came in and an idea sprung up.

Jeez, Bakuman never fails to make me smile. I'm glad they resolved it in one episode because I'd be so sad if they ended it off with all this drama.

I'm actually kinda glad I spoiled myself and saw which series Eiji was going to end. Otherwise I'd be panicking!

Quite an episode and Kaya got a little more screen time than usual which is always a good thing (Shuujin you should give thanks every day for how lucky you are...). Great to see Hiramaru step up as a protector for Aoki, now maybe his editor can keep both he and Nakai on the straight and narrow and working on a new manga. It can't hurt Hiramura's image to come roaring up in his yellow track suit to save the day in front of Aoki--if she's looking for both romance and comedy, he's probably the guy to provde it.
Please don't feed the trolls!

One of the highlights of seeing Bakuman as an anime has got to be seeing the mangaka's works come to life!
Akechi's VA is credited as Mutsumi Tamura.

It is. Even if it wasn't the last season, there won't be enough material for a 4th season, there'd be around 9 chapters left if they stayed at this pace, so the only solution is to cram these 9 chapters in the next 12 episodes, somehow. Or they'll leave it unfinished and make the last arc as OVAs, though dunno if that's an option.

I feel like there was too much going on in this episode.The two stories.. although they were both good, didn't really fit together.

But alone, they both were great. Hiramaru saving the day was my favorite moment of the first part.. then the ending with their manga chapter was my favorite for the second half!

Because all there problems seem petty. This whole time they are trying to "beat" this other guy because he has a different technique for creating a story. I don't see how it's even a big deal he is doing this, at the end of the day all that matters is the content, it's not like he has enslaved people to work for him. They were all doing it because they wanted too. All the drama is boring too at this point of the series i just want them to work on their upcoming anime and just be done with it, the show has dragged on long enough as it is.

If you're talking about Nanamine, then his arc ended last episode. Also, the problem was, his method dissed on the way that manga is made. And you could see from the rankings and from what everyone were saying that the content of his manga wasn't good either. Not to mention, he dissed on the business that is (Yu)/(Shu)eisha by saying that an editor is not necessary and acting all high and mighty.

OT; Finally, one of the best arcs of the series. Oh, and to the guy who said that Eiji is gonna end One Piece, it's not. Bakuman has never influenced/affected the real existing manga within itself, so the manga he is gonna end is one of the manga that exists in the Bakuman world. I can tell you what it is, but since you said not to, I'll let the next episode take care of it.
