The third season of 'Bakuman.' is somehow different from the previous ones. The art, the sound or the characters haven't changed anyhow. The main difference is in the story.
What I liked the most about this anime was that it depicted the business of drawing manga from within. I mean there were many nuances like telling the wievers how the editoring deparment of Shounen Jump works. The process of working on new manga series, the work of the authors, their assistants, their editors, etc.
That's what was the main theme of this series for me. I'm sure that everybody who has ever read Weekly Shounen Jump manga ... wondered: "How do they actually do that? How much are the artist paid? How do you become a manga magazine associate?"
That's the point: All of that questions have already been answered in the two previous series. Now the author has just to put the plot to an end. And he does that with using mainly the theme of rivalry. Rivalry between manga artists has become a main subject of the anime.
You may like it or not. I have to admit that hearing Mashiro and Takagi shouting "We can do it! Let's work hard on it and beat everone!" ten times per episode makes me tired of it. I wish they showed more of romantic themes and Ashirogi Mutou's mangas (they still show some scenes from their mangas, but it's too little).
Anyway, if you watched the previous seasons then you have to watch the third season anyway. Just to see where the story eventually goes and if Mashiro will finally got married.
And if you didn't - you should!

I was waiting for this to happen. Cardfight: Vanguard finally has a full-size plot.
In former series the characters just participated in tournaments and rescued the world (or even entire universe). Now they are at school, starting their own cardfighting club.
I like the new plot mainly because it features life of high-school students (a very popular theme in manga and anime). There are new characters and some background characters now become foreground. What's more I think that the characters have become some kind of more mature (they are in high-school after all).
I think that art has slightly improved compared to the former series.
What is really good ... about this series is that it simply makes me laugh. It's just funny.
I really hope for some more 'slice of life' themes in the upcoming episodes, though playing 'Vanguard' still remains the main theme for the series.
For those who like Trading Card Games it's really worth watching.

Well... First of all I have to admit that this movie can't shock anybody with any sophisticated plot. To be honest the plot is so irrational and just stupid that any person who isn't a YGO fan would turn it off after first 5 minutes of the film.
Is seems like the director was trying to tell us some story, but he hadn't got enough time so it ended up as a total nonsense.
But, let's face it. The plot isn't the thing that is trully important in this movie.
What's cool about it are the characters. A fan of YGO of any age can find his favourite ... character here cause... there are all of them! Yes, we are given a unique chance to see Yugi, Yusei and Judai facing a bad-guy together.
What's more we are given a chance to see Black Magician, Elemental Hero Neos and Stardust Dragon played in a single Duel!

To sum up. The plot is dumb, but this move is just soo full of awesomeness! It's just 40 minutes and it's worth seeing. As long as you are a YGO fan of course.
