Double post for Bakuman. 3! Sword
Art Online would have the same treatment. I was really busy with school
last week and I was also re-watching a couple of series and still finishing Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. HAHA.
Episode
03.
I like how this
episode focused on the relationship between Takagi and Iwase. This episode has
strengthen their rivalry that even Mashiro acknowledged Iwase's talent.
Because of Iwase and
Niizuma's crossover chapter of +NATURAL,
PCP wasn't able to regain itself in its
colored pages chapter. What kind of surprised me in this chapter's ranking was
how Takahama's Seigi no Mikata is
getting popularity. Of course I'm the type of person who likes my series with
lots of words but I didn't know that something like that would sell on WSJ. But
as I have said in my episode 2 post last time, it all depends on the execution.
I guess Takahama's doing a pretty good job at it.
I think that the
main focus on this episode is Ashirogi's way of regaining PCP. Takagi's 5-chapter plan is really
interesting. I like how he thought of adding a rival for PCP. It was pretty odd that the rival just
came at chapter20+ but who cares? LOL. The resolution to the chapter was pretty
interesting. I really admire Takagi's ability to think of things like these.
More importantly, the 'perfect crime' wasn't the only interesting part of the
arc, the way the rival decided not to face PCP
was the best part of it. Ahh~ I really wish that PCP
is a real manga (-_-). I don't care if it gets an anime adaptation or what!
HAHA.
Episode
04.
It seems that there
were a lot of things that happened in this episode. There was never a dull
moment since things kept on happening one thing after another. There were
surprising, excising and even worrisome stuff that Ashirogi faced. Who knows
how this will be resolved?
First off, let me
start with the most noticeable issue here. As what Hattori had stated, there's
a good chance that PCP won't get an
anime because it's realistic. So much for getting excited from the Drama CD and
Novel, huh? Anyway, it's a real waste that PCP
doesn't seem to have any chance of getting an anime. The only solution that
Mashiro probably have thought in here is making another manga.
It does seem like a
great mystery how Niizuma is able to draw two manga and still have really good
quality on both. Add to that the fact that he's the only one writing and
drawing CROW when Ashirogi is a two-man
team and they still can't beat Niizuma. So it all boils down to talent, huh?
Niizuma's talent for writing battle manga has got to be the key and most likely
his ability to just draw the scenes off really quick. He's just amazing.
SO will Ashirogi be
able to write another manga or will PCP
eventually get an anime? We'll see that soon. What's in front of us right now
is the possibility that Takagi could write Shiratori Shun's (Iguchi Yuuichi) Rabuta and Peace. The decision was once again
left to Mashiro when we all know that he'll say yes eventually (LOL @ Mashiro's
face but darn that cliffhanger!).

| that face you make when everyone's expecting you to say 'yes' but you wanted to say 'no' but you don't want to disappoint them. LOL. |
With how the issue
regarding PCP's cancellation finally
being resolved nicely, now who's ready for the next arc? Without second
thoughts, it's defintiely going to be about Takagi's authorship for Shiratori's
manga. I'm not so interested in this arc but I hope that this adaptation can pull
me in. While I doubt that we'll go deeper into the issue surrounding PCP's manga being highly realistic, I'm still
hoping for the adaptation to take it in. It's one of the arcs that I really
enjoyed reading :3
