Yes creating long run manga, must be a real challenge for the authors.
The whole set!? that sounds crazy, but good luck 🙂
Haha yeah it’s fun, Niizuma Eiji was a lovely character, at first they portrayed him as psycho, but he turned into sweet eccentric actually.

And it some ways, made me appreciate manga even more. The only manga I’m buying right now is Kimi ni Todoke though. I plan to buy the whole set of Skip Beat! but boy, that’ll cost me a bomb.

By the way, I like that picture where Niizuma Eiji was floating on top of the others in a cupid-like outfit. Hilarious.

Oh interesting, I imagine it to be no manga for me to read, the topic is dry. I also feared it to be boring as anime, but it was presented in the righ medium for me.
Im happy that I gave this show a try, it was a masterpiece and the conclusion is a satisfying end, not the crap JC Staff did with Shakugan no Shana 😀

Well, I never took a look in the manga, but judging from other ratings and opinions about Bakuman, this show is a very good manga adaption and not one of the bad ones.
To me the voices sounded cnovincing, maybe Niuzuma’s voice will annoy you, but who knows. I would suggst to watch a few more episodes of season one, its a great anime 🙂

thx for your comments, there is kind of low traffic at the blogsphere overall.
Well I created no post in September, cause I’ve played games a lot ^^

The long run was really great with marriage and stuff, you rarely see such things covered in anime. Open end animes are not always satisfying, something always seems to miss.
I was a little sad that Bakuman was over, put I could say farewell with the knowlege that the character achieved their dreams, partially.

Lol, a great sentence, but I liked that the manga and anime world wasn’t portrayed all that positive with some subtle critic.
Maybe with less sidecharacters, the manga career of Takagi and Saikou had felt a bit one sided and maybe boring. With one or two less characters it had probably worked as well.

So they striked a few more events? I missed some freetime activities, when your young you shouldn’t work non stop.
I never took a look in Death Note cause the hype annoyed me to no end.

I liked the anime, while the irony of a manga about making manga is lost in the translation to anime I do like how the story was skimmed a bit. Side characters are nice, even more so if used to spice up your protagonists but sometimes it felt Bakuman put too much focus and time on them.

Over all I’m happy with the end results, it was nice seeing some of my favorite parts in animated form. Quite surprised how much I like considered how much I disliked the author’s previous work.
