Cool , Azuki x Mashiro relation improved via -> Mail ! At least it's a + but still their relation is meh "special"

Anyway , question , WHY they don't make an intro for the names now ?? like the first one that they made.... srly , this is boring... we don't know much about the manga... aaaaaarg..

An interesting episode if only for hinting at how some things could backfire later. Mashiro is just getting too obsessed and is starting to crack a little. That promise is good for motivation, but too much and it can be a negative. They already saw how not interesting their previous attempts at mainstream are. Looking forward to seeing the conflict at the next meeting with the guys abandoning the cult side.

Also really get to see the difference between Hattori and the guy overlooking Eiji. On one hand Hattori is being pretty open with the guys and giving them a lot of information. With Eiji it's true that he probably isn't that interested, but it's not like there is a real effort to get the information into his head. Plus the looks he keeps giving Hattori are pretty funny with the intensity that guy has. Two very different approaches.

Eiji's editor, Yujiro (whose last name is also "Hattori", by the way) is clearly looking out for his own interest whereas Hattori is looking out mainly for Mashiro's and Shujin's. Of course, I'm sure Hattori wouldn't mind beating his fellow editor. There is competition among them, too.

Now that the editors have been introduced in the anime, it's time to post this:

Spoiler for Space:

As you can see, most of the editors in Bakuman are based on real life editors.

Eiji is most likely based on Toriko's mangaka, Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi:

Nah they've been introced for a little while,I know the anime is slow but not that slow

Some might not have had a whole lot of screentime though

Oh man, I completely forgot about those comparisons, especially long haired Hattori.

Question, who are those people in the top right corners of the real editor pictures?

Guardian Enzo · 2011-01-02, 13:27

LOL, Eji's editor is Hattori too? Have they mentioned that in the anime?

Apparently Mitsutoshi has quite a history. In 2002 he was arrested and convicted for breaking child prostitution laws. Shōnen "Jack" canceled his manga Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi! as a result.

The pretty girl is the host of the show. The other dude was a guest.

Here's a link to the vid if you want to watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0jwngcUY9c

It's pretty interesting (and funny).

Not sure his last has been mentioned in the anime yet. They just call him Yujiro most of the time, even in the manga. And before anyone asks, no, they're not related.

Yeah, I was surprised when I heard about that. Just to be clear, he's not a full-fledged pedo. He paid a sixteen years old girl to have sex with him, which is still very bad, but not at as horrifying as it may sound when you hear "child prostitution".

Hopefully it's ok to ask this in the anime thread,but there's two editors that might not be introduced until season 2 , I think manga readers will see who I'm talking about,are they too based on real life people?

And man,I forgot there was no bakuman this weekend,I was getting all hyped because the next episode might animate one of my favorite part of the manga,but I'll have to wait some more.

All of them except two (hint: they're the youngest, and they suck) are based on real editors. I don't have pictures, though.

MainCharacter · 2011-01-02, 15:09

I'm not usually one to agree with gg (can't recall anytime I did before this), but I definitely have to side with them over this show. I'm a huge fan of the manga, but this anime is ruining it with how slow and boring they are making it. What is the purpose in stretching out like one panel of manga of "oh I hope I'm not holding him back" into an entire episode of angsty brooding? It messes up not only the pace but the character's personality as well.

But the worst of it comes from them adding random breaks of nothing (for example, in the manga they have a meeting. In the anime, they have a meeting, go home and brood over it for a minute, then go back for a second meeting in the morning. that makes no sense and just wasted 4 minutes of brooding not in the manga) and their belief that we have the memory of a fish, because they feel the need to flashback to things we just saw every time a character is thinking. We know what they said, we JUST saw it happen. We can figure out why the character is brooding on their own without you showing us scenes we JUST saw.

Seriously, I adore this series, the manga is one of my favorites. But I need to wait until the anime is done airing and just watch it all in one go so the pacing doesn't bug me as much. Because I really want to like this anime, but it just makes me frustrated right now.

Thank you JC staff,thank you!

Only seen the raw but it looks like despite having a recap at the start they're continuing to speed things up!

New OP animation was nice and I really like the ED,especialy the last part,it's the kind of thing I had in mind when I imagined a bakuman anime.

If anything I think that new ED song should be the OP and "blue bird" should be the ED

I heard that Hyde was going to be in one of the Bakuman episodes a few weeks back. Now my question is:

In the last pic in the ED, there's a picture which looks like it's been signed by Mashiro... except that the ま seems to be backward? Is there a reason? (I kept reading it as Monro Moritaka before I realized it was a revered 'ma')

The new ED is pretty good, but it's sadly missing the best character in the series. Very disappointed they didn't get rid of the OP.

It looks like a childhood drawing, so the 'ma' is just bad handwriting from a young Masahiro.

kitten320 Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007	Spoiler for 14: Finally Hattori tried to knock some sence into their heads, too bad Mashiro is dence one. as Hattori said, their name had nothing special. Have no idea how can they make it interesting. I'm suprised that Nizuma happened to be their fan, actually after this I would decide to do that old project again because idea was original and even so called geniuse approves it. I know that they are competitors but it won't hurt to use some advices. __________________ My anime list

Royal_Devil Powder Hunter Join Date: Sep 2006 Age: 36	Spoiler for Ep 14: one thing I love about Bakuman is how well it handles bad first impressions. I didn't like Nizuma when he was first shown in the manga either but that scene when he admits he's actually a fan of the protagonists and wants a friendly rivalry with them was when he started to warm up to me and now he's one of my favorite characters. __________________
