I love how they didn't show the the last part of the PCP manga and left us imagining why he laughed :D I really wish that manga existed! I can't wait for the next episode :3

Seriously, WTF is wrong with the Chief Editor? They did all they could to improve their non-enough points and they also added something brand new: seriousness & comedy mixed together. I wonder how the season finale will be.

The only thing I can say is - anime staff are bastards. ^^

I liked the way they presented PCP. Always nice to see sketchy drawings getting dubbed, lol.

4/5 for me.

I was watching this with the building suspense, fully expecting them to get serialized even if the suspense almost killed me. Well, damn. The chief editor is a bastard, I will flip tables.

I'm dying here not reading the manga and waiting for last episodes T_T!
Damn you Chef Editor! Though I don't think that Ashirogi won't be able to draw for Jack anymore... But I don't know what may happen :3
Seriously, before I wouldn't expect shounen about DRAWING to by more exciting than some 'battle' ones!

So they went with exactly the same cliffhanger as in the manga... The episode was pretty well executed, though.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought so. It's not that PCP was bad - it's just that based off their previous works you know Ashirogi Muto can come up with something more interesting. And I'm sick of their comedy/kiddy anime.

The criticism from the lead editor was abit harsh. How can they judge a manga's potential with a majority vote like this? It would just lead to people voting based on personal preference.

I'm surprised more people didn't vote for them to win simply to see how the manga would do serialised. It isn't something they should want their competitors to have if Ashirogi decided to work for another company unless there is something in their contract restricting them from using works submitted to Jack.

SHOW ME THE WAY.Addicted to the ending.

I guess if you really want to compare with Crow and +Natural its hard to think that PCP would win them. NEXT EPISODE PL0X

One thing I love about Bakuman is that it's realistic. Ashirogi 'fails' a lot, sure, but that makes it more interesting. If they got what they wanted all the time, the story would get boring.

I swear I read something like PCP before...very weird.

But I'm not sure what will happen. This was their last chance and yet it wouldn't make sense for them to move to a different magazine. Either the decision has to be overturned or something. In the end though it's crazy to put this kind of thing to a vote. Who the heck knows what will be better in the end? The whole reason they let the public vote on their favorites is because they decide what is the best. If it was that tough they should have put it to a one-shot and see what happened.

Not sure what to expect. They don't really have time to write something completely different. Maybe they could tweak it a bit, but I'm not even sure what else they could do.

I guess the duo won't be writing for Jack anymore.

Ok, so it's back to the drawing board for the duo, so will they stay with Jack or go to another manga company?

Ugghhhh I knew the Chief was gonna pick no..son of a..he really is way too strict....x_x This was horseshit..ugghh..amazing episode but that outcome..I mean it was only logical he was the tie breaker and with this season 3 can hit it off...

We're probably gonna see a rage quitty, sulky Nizuma next episode for sure. He's not gonna be happy.

That seemed really drawn out and over dramatic.

Also, why are they so fixated on Jack? Wouldn't being popular and paid in any magazine be an accomplishment?

I'm pretty sure this will get serialized anyway, something is bound to happen.
So many cliffhangers lately, this is really tense.
I'm looking forward to more.

I would buy that manga tbh. It was realistic imo and presented well especially with that fitting music in the background. I'm not too story on the overall plot but those two came up with some good ideas. It's just a shame what was said in the end there..oh well.

Also, dat Miho resemblance:

Ooooooouuuuuch... Somehow, I expected that. The episode title wasn't so optimistic. That's a sweet christmas gift...

It's sad because I really liked the concept, it could have been leaded in many ways. I hope they don't throw away that idea.

I don't think they'll be able to change the editor chief mind. He's a straigh man always values honesty and hard work. Their deal was to do a manga that could beat Crow and +Natural and in the end, they estimated that they couldn't win. That should normally mean that they won't draw anymore for Jack. But the question is : is that really so dramatic? Like they said often, there is other magazine. Sure, they are not as popular as a classic Jack/Jump, but they can still make a reputation in other magazines.

I wonder if Miura will retire from Jack after that. I think it's something that he won't forgive soon...
