Episode 14

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!

Finally, I completed the halfway point, and it looks like they changed the order of events right after the end of Nanamine Tooru's arc.

In summary, this episode was 2/3 thirds about Nanamine and his complete loss.

You know how would have been the best way to witness Nanamine in full psychotic glory is if his rank had fallen into the 30's or 40's digits in the survey polls and found out only one person voted for "What is Required"; imagine that. It would have been awesome to see that hypothetical scenario.

That'd be difficult. I think the rankings have about 20 places.

Godammit JC Staff you lazy bastards. Could you have made the final OP/ED sequences any duller!? This is Hyadain x Base Ball Bear and JAM Project (though admittedly their song was a slow one) here, how can you not make good use of the songs!?

I also felt they could have done a better job with the OP/ED sequences. I didn't particularly dislike them, they were alright, but it just didn't give me that sort of 'Bakuman feel' that the other seasons left behind. If I had to choose I would say the opening left more of an impact. Although Hyadain and JAM Project doing the OP/ED for this series still throws me off.

Azuma Denton · 2013-01-06, 07:09

Yes, i also disappointed in the new OP and ED.
It is Hyadain feat Base Ball Bear and JAM Project.
Can you throw more effort to the OP and ED instead of a slide show?? *frustated

Episode 13:

I really liked this episode. It was an interesting incident, and I like the way it got resolved.

But damn, Takagi can be scary sometimes, lol.

Guido · 2013-01-14, 00:07

The bank robbery affected Takagi's mental health to the point that he subconsciously blocked his inspiration at writing, nearly causing PCP's serialization at Jack.

Fortunately, Mashiro got an epiphany from his phone conversation with Kaya and shared it right away to Takagi. Basing their next story upon a copycat criminal going beyond the line commiting crimes that the PCP team's morally will never allowed themselves to go far; that's how they turned the tables against the scandal of the real crime.

Episode 16

Spoiler for plot:

Guardian Enzo · 2013-01-22, 21:14

Absolutely fantastic episode. I wish this mini-arc had lasted longer.

Uribatake · 2013-01-26, 22:42

The Crow ending arc was much more sensibly paced than the previous ones, covering only two manga chapters per episode. While it was nice that they didn't rush through one of the best arcs in the manga, it got me worried that they only had 9 more episodes to cover the remaining 37 chapters.

However, judging by the episode 17 preview, it seems they're skipping the entire Shinjitsu Corporation arc (chapters 141-150), which means now they can keep covering 3 chapters per episode until the end.

I can't say I'll miss that arc, since its only purpose was

Spoiler for manga spoilers:

Now I'm looking forward to seeing how the last arcs will play out in the anime.

I was really hoping the anime staff would do that,it's without a doubt the arc in bakuman I dislike the most and I won't be missing it one bit.

Spoiler for Ep17:

ookamigirl · 2013-01-27, 05:43

Iwase going through a crisis of her own..
An intervention was badly needed.
Luckily others teamed up and led her towards the right path.
Seems like there were some changes in the editorial department as well.
Flashbacks were nice.
Looks like both Niizuma and Ashirogi Muto are starting new manga.
The interesting thing is they're having similar ideas. Both going for something different.

I couldn't be happier with this development. If I had my way

The bets were thrown.

This episode went in a smooth sail without rushing too much on Fukuda, Takahama, and Ashirogi devising their ideas to surpass CROW one after the other.

I do feel happy that the vote count is increasing for the manga done by each one of those three, but still Niizuma is skyrocketing forward.

Takahama and Fukuda failed at 2nd place in the attempt to steal the spot from Niizuma, hence, all that is left is Ashirogi's color cover + trick strategy chapter to turn the tides.

My question may have already been answered a lot, but since the thread is pretty big I do not want to search. As for the question, how closely does the anime follow the manga and is there any news that there will be more on the ending in the anime as to the manga?

I'd say it's a pretty close adaptation, even though this season is skipping a lot of stuff in order to cram almost the entire second half of the manga in just 25 episodes.

As for the ending, we'll only know when the last episode airs in late March, but I don't think there will be room to add anything that wasn't in the manga. As of now, there are only 8 episodes left to cover the last 25 manga chapters.

ookamigirl Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2011	Episode 15 Spoiler for plot: 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... __________________ My Blog --> ookami

That's always interesting to watch. Everyone was doing their best to come closer to Crow. In the end no one was good enough to beat Niizuma. Niizuma is a manga machine! He's just amazing. Always manages to surprise me. __________________ My Blog --> ookami

Since the anime not only showed his childhood flashback ahead of time but also cut the part where he told Ashirogi he'd come up with a new method and challenge them again, I guess the writing was on the wall. Now I'm looking forward to seeing how the last arcs will play out in the anime. Last edited by Uribatake; 2013-01-27 at 06:29.

FlareKnight User of the "Fast Draw" Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Canada	Spoiler for Ep17: One thing this episode reminded me is that Miura really is a terrible editor. Dumping him was the best thing that could have ever happened to Ashirogi. After he was put on the job it was as if Natural didn't have an editor. Creates the problem of this episode and then needs others to fix it for him. The rest of it was pretty good though. Both Ashirogi and Eiji are fired up and preparing their new stuff. It's true they never managed to pass Eiji with their previous work, but who knows what might happen with what is coming next. Both series should be superior to anything they've done before. Good stuff. __________________ Anime-Evo
