THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The pair's editor is shocked at female mangaka's improvement.

lol @ the pair practicing for meeting Miyoshi's parents, and Miyoshi already prepared marriage form.

Pre-assistant mangaka is pissed at the couple talk because his work is in danger of ending, and it really did. The girl doesn't want to be relation with old assistant, though. Plus female mangaka scolded him and rejected him.

Female mangaka's image... why showing the pre-salaryman? She already decided to have all female assistants.

The pair failed... Oh, that weird faces in preview was for that...

Most people not wanting to persuade the old mangaka/assistant not to go back to Akita. Saikou (only one who wanted to persuade him not to go back), female mangaka, and Fukuda were the one who sent him off.

Novelist mangaka is processing well. The editor wants Niizuma, who's interested, to draw the manga for the story. lol @ the three's faces.

Pre-assistant mangaka wanted to change editor, but editor-in-chief scolded him.

Wow, new ED! "Parallel= (パラレル=)" by Fumiya Sashida (指田郁也). It's interesting to see all mangakas' elementary school form.

Novelist-mangaka/Niizuma vs. the pair begins next ep.

NOOO they changed my beloved ending T--T Short-haired Fukuda is cute xD

Is Bakuman becoming a moe anime? They've never used much cute facial expressions like in this episode, mainly in Eiji's scene.

thank god nakai is out of the picture hopefully we won't see him again for a long time, but it was great seeing Eiji getting fired up again! even though his pairing is a bit werid was not expecting her to make a debut with someone like Eiji.


nice ed style wise old one is way better imo the new one reminds me of blue bird or whatever the first seasons op was.

I like the new ED, might actually not skip over them now with this one

Can't say I'm going to miss Nakai (because I won't). And this is the Niizuma they need to show more of, or just base the show around.

Hattori is a genius. Teaming Iwase with Niizuma is so crazy that no one would think of it. But it makes sense that if the writing is interesting enough to get Niizuma fired up then it could be something special. Works out for everyone since if Niizuma is excited then Crow's quality should actually go up. The biggest thing though is that this news may finally be enough to get Ashirogi fired up and back to their strengths. The stupidity of Miura must be stopped.

Sad that they are stuck with someone like Miura. With Hattori their level could get raised since he could work with them. Instead they have to either go down a bad road or fight against their editor and that's not going to really help them much. Miura really is no good though.

See ya Nakai. Would agree that his behavior lately makes me not feel bad to see him leave. He was unbelievably rude to Aoki and creepy with Katou. Agree with Takagi that he brought it onto himself.

Glad for Aoki getting serialized though. She worked hard and deserved it.

Poor Miyoshi--looks like the wedding will have to wait. Also poor Takagi--her father is both a CEO and a karate instructor! I hope they show the formal meeting where he asks permission. (Although I suspect Miyoshi will make sure her father accepts him.)
Please don't feed the trolls!

I absolutely loved the part with Eiji, Yuujiro, and Hattori. They're hilarious! Can't wait for the Aiko and Eiji pairing, even though I don't really like Aiko as a character.

So glad that Nakai left.

New ED was catchy.

The short skit at beginning was funny and Miyoshi even had the marriage contract ready. Too bad, they ain't getting married just yet since they failed at the serialization meeting.

NAKAI IS GONE FOR GOOD??? good news! I'm glad Katou dumped him, i hated him anyway. Though it was also a sad scene. Good luck harvesting apples

Wooo!! Niizuma is doing the art of Aiko's work. This is getting me fired up. Can't wait to see what Ashirogi's reaction will be. Niizuma won't get that hyped if the story sucked, knowing that, Aiko really does have an excellent talent in manga writing. It's gonna be a really tough competition between them.

i want Miura replaced soon :L poor Takahama, he'll probably become Ashirogi's assistant again.

Yuujiro was hilarious. Really cant wait to see the manga that Iwase is doing if it was enough to get Hattori, Eiji, and Yuujiro excite.

New ending theme is nice, seeing everyone as kids is kind of cool, kid Saiko, kid Eiji, kid Fukuda even.

Wish it was Miura leaving instead of Nakai, I didn't have a problem with him till the last few episodes. I hope that Katou ends up being an assistant for Aoki since she only wants female assistants.

Favourite episode so farfor the season seeing Nizuma fired up was good, hope we get to see more of him. Working with Iwase will be interesting to see, I actaully like her and glad to be seeing more of her again.

An pretty good episode. They edior-in-chief gave me the creeps in this scene tho...looking at Ashirogi with them eyes.

And it's kind of silly for them to bother with a new ED with 9 remaining episodes, but oh well I'm not complaining. Was pretty decent too.

4/5 for this episode.

Wow, great episode...
I was surprised to see Ashirogi Muto not win the serialization again...
Bye bye, Nakai, you should think about what you were doing...
I'm kinda glad Takahama's request was refused, it might help Ashirogi Muto so they realize they shouldn't blame it all on Miura, no matter how he is...
The end of the episode was especially good, it'll be a weird pairing, and it'll surely motivate Ashirogi Muto even more...

Great episode, I'm looking forward to the next one...

Nice to see that I'm not the only one who has noticed that. Honestly, I'd be glad if that fag Miura would lose his job.

As for the ED, Monochrome Rainbow was a lot better. An absolute tension booster compared to this ugh... new song.

Wow, brilliant episode. So many themes in only 24 minutes. One of the best so far.

And I'm impressed, that I feel sorry for Nakai again, just like in the manga back then, even though, I hated him hard before.

I love the new ending. The song itself isn't as good as Monochrome Rainbow, but the video is awesome. Nice to see all of them, when they were young (and I hated the old video, because Miho sucks *cough*).

I can se why Hattori wants to do this. This gag manga they are doing is really stupid. I think Hattori knows they can do better than that so he's pushing them to give this one up.

So now that everybody hates Nakai he's being sent back to his hometown, I hope he comes back later on as a changed man or something.

Miyoshi - poor thing her wedding will have to wait

this whole teaming up with eiji thing is going to suck so badly for ashirogi - Eiji - Saikos rival and Takagis stalker - teaming up gaaah the drama never ends haha

I miss the powerful ending theme. It looked nice and sounded great. I usually skip ending credits that I dislike, so it's rare for me to sit through it. The first ending was one I would sit through because I liked it that much.

The new theme looks cheaply made and sounds bad. I'm going to skip it everytime now. Just ugghh. Now when they end an episode on a powerful note like they do sometimes it's going to cut to these credits. It just feels so wrong.

Great episode. New ED is fine I guess.

Nakai deserves to be dumped like that and hope that he'll reflect on what he has done.

I find it good that their manga isn't going to be serialized but they're still doing a gag-manga. :/

And lastly, Hattori-Yuujiro-Nizuma scene was hilarious.

Those priceless facial expressions!!! ROFL

New ending is... I'm not sure what to think of it yet. The animation sequence is far more interesting than the first one, but Monochrome Rainbow was a much more suited ED for this anime. As someone said above, what going to happen to the powerful cliffhanger with such a lousy song? Not good.

A lot of things happened in this episode. Definitely glad Nakai's gone for the mean time. And happy that Aoki is getting serialized <3 also, Katou should totally become her assistant. Maybe even the chief assistant~

And Iwase + Eiji = didn't see that coming. But it'll really get Mashiro and Takagi fired up to get their manga back on track, hopefully with no as much bad advice from Miura.

Really good episode. Ending song didn't do it for me though. 4/5
