Bakuman. 3 discussion thread

[ookamigirl]

Nanamine's editor wasn't too happy about his serialization.
It was kinda sad Shiratori's manga got cancelled.
Hattori was smart enough to suspect something was off about Kosugi.
When Mashiro and Takagi told him the truth about Nanamine's wayhis reaction was expected.
That guy was walking all over their principles and ideals. He went too far.
Hiramaru was totally down after Aoki got serialized.. but was resurrected as her assistant.

Episode 10:

- Poor Hiramaru. But yay for Aoki. And man, Rabuta got canceled fast.
- Huh, Takagi told Hattori about Nanamine already. I thought that would be dragged out more.
- Wow, talk about a lucky break for Hiramaru.
- UGH I feared Nakai would come back, and those fears have been realized.

Way to reintroduce one of the worst anime characters ever, Bakuman. And not only that he's working with the douchebag. Bleh I'm getting more and more iffy on this arc.

Well, it does have the effect though that it will push Ashirogi to up their game even further, especially if they realize who they're up against (which is probable- either they'll figure it out just from the quality or Nanamine will use it to taunt them). But... yeah, way to make Nakai even worse of a guy than he already was...

Nakai working for Nanamine.
That's exactly why he wanted Nakai, just to make sure he beats Aoki.
Even Nakai stumbled upon Nanamine's secret...
I was right, Nanamine's ship was sinking steadily.
He does have the talent, but his method was wrong.
Nanamine has totally and completely lost it.

Same story in the same issue.
Ashirogi vs Nanamine!
Nakai lost Nanamine even those few people he had left ^^"
He suffered total defeat.
Well, looks like he got what he deserved!
Seems like Kosugi finally got through to him.
If Nanamine continues writing his own manga he might still have a chance.
So someone started doing real crimes by copying Ashirogi's manga. That's bad.

[something]

Episode 11:

- Oh so this is Aoki's fault? Fuck you, goddamn just fuck you. I can't wait to put Nakai near the top of my list of worst anime characters of 2012. I want him to die so, so badly. And the fact that they're inevitably gong to "rehabilitate" him in the end is all the more infuriating. If they pair him and Aoki up, fuck, I may just drop the show.
- And Nanamine is a terrible villain, so combine the two and thus arc is just... ugh.
- Oh thank friggin goodness Takagi blew off Nanamine's really obvious ploy to copy their material. It would be outrageous for him to fall for it.

Hopefully this arc is ending soon, with the showdown set up at the end here. It really can't end soon enough.

PCP's got bad exposure 'cause of that copycat crime.
Even though it's continuing those two still felt bad.
Looks like Takagi was impacted by the incident.
Nakai snapped again... It was embarrassing.
When Hiramaru joined the stupidity it kinda went crazy.
Aoki sure is a popular girl.
Takagi's doubts and worries tanked PCP's rankings.
I'm glad they managed to work it out with a great idea for PCP!

[something]

Episode 12:

- Holy crap these new subbers for eps 12-13 are terrible. How do you sub PCP as PSP while paying ANY attention to the show you're subbing? I think I'll just finish 12 and wait on 13.
- And Nanamine is crushed in the head-to-head competition with basically no drama, nice.

Yeah his arc was dumb. And sadly Nakai is likely to stick around a while. Man I hope Hiramaru kicks his ass. Well, or Aoki finds a normal person to date. But waaaaaaaay prefer Hiramaru over Nakai. Next up, copycat crimes.

Niizuma was acting kinda strange.
Maybe that's his way of inspiring Ashirogi Muto to work hard, or not.
Nakai working hard... well, not on his diet LOL
Niizuma wants to end Crow. Like wtf?!
That was a total surprise!
At the same time it's a good incentive for others to stop him by taking 1st place.
Things are getting interesting again!

[ookamigirl]

Niizuma made a very interesting challenge.
Every single mangaka will have an impossible task.
Taking first place over Niizuma seems impossible.
It even got me fired up as well. Can't wait to see how it plays out.
A lot of them seems to be introducing new characters.
Don't think that alone will be enough...
