| So their super manga is basically Death Note. Well no surprise. It was their big success in real life. Kitsu-nee said: One more thing - is it just me, or Eiji's zombie manga reminds of that new movie, Warm Bodies? It's about zombie who falls in love with a human girl. It's not usual theme in zombie movies, after all :) Oh! got i thought of that too. I saw the trailer of that movie recently and that came to my mind seeing Eiji's pages and hearing his idea. |
| Lol at 13:37 before the OP, although that was way too generic imo. Their new manga seems really interesting, the concept doesn't feel finished yet, at least it doesn't feel that way to me. I'm looking forward to more. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |

| I really liked this episode. The scene with the chief editor and Mashiro's uncle was touching and the end got me fired up again :) |
 |
| "I will...become...the mangaka of the new world!" is what I could imagine Eiji saying. :P |
| "LET'S HOSPITAL!" |
ainky said: Death Note + Zetman = New manga ^ add some tentacles and it'll be #1 for eternity |
 |
| Good episode as always. Hopefully they get an anime adaptation of this new manga. |
 |
| Both mangas sound really amazing :D I'm amazed how both of them though of a dark hero at the same time. I guess they are the perfect rivals and know that. |
| lol at the yu-gi-oh reference |
| Oh wow that scene with Iwase was quite touching and well now that the chief editor will be replaced things might get worse or better either way both are working on their manga with so it seems the same main theme so let's see what's next! |
 |
| So many good ideas who could have been perfect mangas |
ainky said: Death Note + Zetman = New manga Glad to see that someone else also got some Zetman vibes from it. |
 |
| The end of this episode was incredible, I cried tears of joy. Niizuma Eiji is the best friend somebody could have. He is such a well thought out character!! |
| Niiiice. Their concept kinda reminded me of Death Note, but with battle. The part on Iwase was really touching. When she opened the door and they were all there, I almost teared :') Niizuma idea sure is original. With Niizuma eccentric style, I think it can make his good effect. About the chief editor departure, it was also really touching, to see how he cared about Mashiro and wanted to protect him like an overly protective father :P This episode was really loaded emotionally. The first time I saw the ED, it kinda bored me, but now I really like the concept. It's like a resume of the three season, but instead of the dialogue, we get a new song each episode. It's a really cool way to remind of the important event in the series. Edit : lol, I read the comment and everyone thought of Death Note, I guess I'm far from being the only one xD |

| Wow, so they're still insulting Light with this shit again? I was told they were "doing what they couldn't do with Death Note" in 3rd season of Bakuman. How is this any different? Unless the ending is exact opposite. Oh and how come no one in the show mentions "Berserk" as the best manga ever created when in reality it's probably the best one by a MARGIN in both storyline and art? I guess the two mangaka of Death Note and Bakuman do really, really stink! They take themselves too seriously if you ask me. Excluding survival game crapfests, Death Note did not define a new genre so-called "unorthodox battle manga". Including Death Note, so-called "unorthodox battle manga" is nothing but a seinen story gone wrong. You don't get to lighten a seinen story without losing its quality. Even tough sometimes I don't wanna admit it, Death Note had shounen roots by being published in Shounen Jump and it stank mainly with its ending because of that exact reason. Hard truth of life: Real masterpieces come from SEINEN magazines. Period. As an author one must choose between popularity and quality. Well, Berserk is popular too but I'm assuming its sales are nowhere near a Shounen Jump shounen. With non-anime tv shows and movies popularity and quality can be achieved at the same time (Chris Nolan, Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings, The Matrix etc.) but there is no shounen/seinen distinction there. Only content rating, which PG-13 rating isn't definitely an obstacle for making masterpieces. |

| Open to chat about any storytelling related subject as long as it's clever and respectful. Myanimelist |
| i think the Ashirogi's new manga is similar with Death Note (L vs Kira) |
| So they decided to end with PCP? That's good, it could be interesting on the first chapters, but it would soon loose it's appeal. But this new mangas look great. |
| From now on It's an All-out war of Standard Battle Manga ~ !! BREATHTAKING . Such a prideful woman as always Iwase . Pleasing Episode ~ !!! Chief Editor will be missed . |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| oh chief editor, don't leave me! |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Sounds like the template for Death Note(the anime Mashiro and Takagi are making). |
| Death note came back in demon form lol. |
| Finally, appears the great idea!!! kekeke |
| Man... this season especially is emotionally wrecking me, and it's not even sad, per se. Halfway through the episode and sobbing my eyes out. Then the ED hits and it's more of the same, seeing all of the flashbacks and stills from previous seasons. What an incredible journey.... |
| Wow almost feels like the end of the anime here, so much transition! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| The demons with the mind control is actually a pretty good idea. It reminds me of Code Geass haha |
 |
| Wooh the Death Note similarities!! So much hype on this. I’m excited to see both manga. |
| The final manga hype has begun. PCP isn't done yet but Mashiro and Takagi have been planning on a new manga for a while and now it's really coming to fruition where the premise basically feels like a demon power version of Death Note with the fancier designs and transformations. Niizuma's also begun preparing for his own new serialization as well which looks fun, although I already feel like Ashirogi's manga is more personally appealing to me by quite some distance. Even good to see the former Chief Editor who's been transferred to Hisshou Jump, go to Ashirogi's studio (formerly Tarou Kawaguchi's), and finally have be able to freely talk with Moritaka about a bit of his past with Nobuhiro and how much Nobuhiro cared for Moritaka back then when he wanted both to be serialized at the same time since Moritaka was really in love with manga that time as a kid and could draw really nicely from a young age. |
AlexanderHD said: DANG it. I thought I was gonna be the clever poster to compare their ideq to Death Note, with a good protagonist and a bad protagonist. 10+ people already beat me to the observation, dang I have to wonder if the peeps at Bakuman took direct inspiration from Death Note. It'd make sense, since it's one of the number one anime in existence. Of course something similar to Death Note would be Ashirogi's magnum opus. You do know that the creators of death note are the same creators of Bakuman. Kinda mind blowing |
  |
| I thought Iwase attempted to suicide.... |
| Hattori didn't got any promotion |
| Never thought that the author of death note would write a manga where they write code geass. And I am surprised people are thinking it resembles death note. A dark hero who can control people with his power and aims to change the world according to his vision a white knight who opposes, because he disagrees with his ways, that's code geass. |
Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth. Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime. |
| Went on here after the episode expecting Death Note comments, and exactly found other people thinking the same XD Well, the creators of Bakuman and Death Note are the same two so what did I expect, this is really fun! |
| reversi arc - begin! basically the idea is so DN, but it's fits perfectly for ashirogi abilities which it seems for me - the reason for ohba to make them that way in the first place, because it's kinda he and obata in ashirogi muto LOL. but maybe i'm reading too much in it xD eiji doing kinda same idea, only with his own style. iwase "arc" was very nice, they made it perfectly short but impactful, iwase sure kinda lost her will while losing to ashirogi, hm, takagi, LOL didn't thought kaya would cheer takagi to cheer iwase xD the chief editor replacement was also great. and as i understood (didn't got to finish the manga, or either, it was long time ago reading it lol) the anime skipped entire nanamine 2nd arc, kinda glad they skipped because it, less dragging the story since the whole reversi arc idea started from the first episodes of this season when hattori told them it won't be an anime, it kinda make the whole season more connected than dragging the series into another season. although i would be glad with another season, before the nonamine arc it felt dragged already, and as i said JC does good job keeping the theme for this season concentrating on ashirogi aiming their original dream, which is miho. she did kind forgotten in this season, for good, but also for worse since mashiro felt really plain in this season, like all his former goals to be with miho gone. time to get that back! |
| Is this finally the episode where Iwase gets her comeuppance? Eh, sort of? I liked when it seemed like she was going to get cancelled. Everyone rallying around her was a bit bleh. With that out of the way, it was certainly more interesting to see the creation of the new series. Here's hoping there is even more details shown in the next couple of episodes. Though, at this point, I don't think there is any new manga that could be introduced that I'll end up gushing over. PCP was an interesting concept, but we really aren't seeing enough of it. At this point I'm just like, "Let's see how this all ends I guess." |
 "...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" |
| ashirogi's new story ending sounded lame, the good always wins ok. At least make it so maybe a third party rolls in and they might have to collaborate somehow while fighting. Like the evil one realizing his ideals are bs and some ideals of the good guy were also a bit twisted (but overall good) and then have them win against the third party instead of ooh good guy win! Justice! This random thought I had sounded better than just justice wins. |
