THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I'm starting to like Nizuma-kun's personality more and more. I liked how Bakuman decided to make him a good rival character, instead of an unlikeable antagonist character.

I found Miho's family's repeating jokes on Kaya's growing body quite funny. :D

And finally, we get to see some development in Miho's career, too. I almost forgot that she also has to achieve success in order to marry Mashiro.

It's good to see some progress on Miho's part as well !

Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites.

Agreed very much. I would've seriously hated it if they had made him into an unlikeable egotistical prick so we'd have to root more for the heroes.

And it was nice seeing some progression on Miho's career.
Ara ara.

I'm glad Miho is working hard, I was worried she might give up.

This was a cute episode. I really can't wait to see what amazing story they come up with next! :3

Excellent episode once again. The last two eps have been far better than the first thirteen, I hope they'll keep it up.

Totally agree. So this is how they spawned, eh? It feels kind of insulting, actually. XD

Eiji's gotten a lot better these last two episodes. He actually talks instead of just makes random noises! The interaction between him and Moritaka/Takagi was great.

I also liked seeing more of Azuki's goals. She's kind of wicked to him with the texting though, isn't she? It's kind of hard to tell she likes him when she writes stuff like that, but I guess that's just their relationship. Personally, I could never imagine writing something like that to a guy I liked.

After last weeks episode which I thought was really interesting, I kind of got bored watching this episode, which never really happens to me. Dx I liked the focus on Miho getting closer to her goals though, and the cellphone conversations between Mashiro and Miho are always really cute. Her personality through texting is so much different than how she is when she's talking in person. >-<

I thought this ep was a little slow, but it was great to see Miho get that part. I think Eiji Nizuma really thinks he can be friends with Saiko and Shujin, his attitude towards them speaks volumes about his own immaturity. Also, the fact that Ejii thought "Money and Intelligence" was better then his own works is also insightful to me if Ejii thinks they are really that talented.

Moritaka just redeemed himself to me *giggle* Just because of him smirking at Eiji like that and saying Eiji was rather naive<3 I love it when he smiles like that XD

And I love this episode for focusing on Miho<3 Pretty sweet scenes with MashiroMiho pair too :p

Slow but nice episode :) I'm excited for their reaction to Miyoshi's dream XD

(Still, the episode's animation is still not that okay...)

I don't see what you are talking about? She wasn't wicked at him. She basically just reassured him against his insecurity and that's exactly what he needed.

I still don't get why they are so obsessed with mainstream kind of manga.

Do you think Mashiro and Takagi talking about M and N (masochist and narcissist) was hinting at a manga called M to N no Shouzo, or is that just a common way of putting it?

Putting it with ever gentler words is actually worst at this case, it won't reassure him as much because he will think you are just being nice. Showing she is slightly annoyed is better because she demonstrates how serious she has taken the promise she made making him see he shouldn't doubt her.

Well more than a horrible episode I found it quite good since two important event happened.... One.... Ashirogi versus Niizuma rivalry was finally established and recognised by both parties, and Two Miho reaching a debut on a Midnight Anime as a VA!!! All the hard work is finally paying off!

Well I'm especially happy with Miho's progress since we barely knew of her... She's like a complete mystery for us but now we know that she's really doing good... Too bad she's not confident enough to really take the best out of her... She makes herself less... Just saying that she's not pretty enough? WTH! You're pretty, maybe not gorgeous like your mom but dang it, you're way cuter and prettier than any of the girls that were there for the fight of a single little role.... Saint Visual Girl Academy huh? Me wonders what will happen next in her side...

Oh and the cat is still there... me never saw it on the manga.... But heck she's a good pet :P LOL at Azuki's family joking about Kaya's body and Lol at Kaya singing... goshness... she sang really awful :S

And see why we love Niizuma! He isn't a bit dislikable! I know he's a total weirdo and a anti-social guy, just like L, but man that's what we can call a decent and great rival... Helping you out.... Saying witty stuff... and admiring you work! That's great! I really like that! Niizuma is really something.... so it's time for new mangakas? Oh Me is eagerly waiting for them :p

As per usual, this episode of Bakuman was leaning towards boring but thanks to the part about creating manga it never gets there. The romance between Mashiro and Miho is starting to look more believable (after all they are just two highschool kids who are probably afraid to make a move and make up excuses/crazy ideas instead) but still a bit tedious to watch. Takagi and <what's that other girl's name> are acting even more childish, just what the hell does their relationship mean anyway?

And suddenly, I don't hate Eiji for being an idiot anymore.
Instead, I almost like him. He's still an idiot though.
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

I thought that the episode was interesting. Seems slower than most of the other episodes though, but I like the progress with the plot.

I liked Eiji though, it was fresh of them to have a "genius" type character with a personality like that.
