Fusion X. Denver Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 That chapter was so dope. I'm really happy for the two of them; I was close to teary from seeing their sheer joy. Although... WHAT NOW? IS THE MANGA GONNA END SOON? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I feel that there should have been a bigger build up to them getting the anime, but I'm happy for them. However, I don't think they've even created a character for Azuki to voice. Besides, there should be more development between Mashiro and Azuki's relationship. Haven't you ever considered that their romance is really, really stupid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Roxas Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 No comment on the blatant Inazuma Eleven reference that is Impromptu 12? That's kind of a random choice of a series to reference. [url="http://www.mangareader.net/bakuman/166"]166[/url] [spoiler=Thoughts]"[W]e managed to get her to delete it just two days after it was posted. So don't worry about it. It shouldn't have spread far." At first this made me think that Akito does not know how the Internet works, and yet he immediately knows how people will react if Azuki gets the role of Naho, who by the way, I don't believe was even mentioned until the previous chapter. I was actually surprised that the creators had the sense to actually follow up on the chance that Takagi's statement was completely wrong. I don't like that Ishizawa is the villain of this arc. I do like that he's been reduced to a loser of Nakai's level, but he's just annoying. This series always have villains whose primary qualities are being obnoxious, insufferable pricks. I know that's what a true villain [i]should[/i] be like, but it really makes them come across as generic villains. I know this a slice of life story, so I shouldn't expect complex and powerful villains like I usually do, but Ishizawa, Nanamine, and Nakai if you want to count him as well, have all just been pathetic excuses of "antagonists".[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Yeah, Ishizawa's pretty insufferable alright. I just noticed he vaguely vaguely resembles the guy Light killed at the beginning of Death Note with a bus. ...that'd be funneh But let me get this straight: Everyone's pissed at Ashirogi simply because he's the boyfriend of the popular Miho? So pretty much all the people complaining are butthurt that their idol's off the market? *facedesk* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YokoOhNo]It unfortunately makes more sense than you think.[/url] The worst part was the people commenting that they would sell their merchandise related to Ashirogi or Azuki. The sad thing is, this actually seems like a very realistic story arc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion X. Denver Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 http://www.mangareader.net/bakuman/167 [spoiler=Thoughts] Fukuda's such an awesome guy, seriously. Even though this could potentially backfire on them and drag him into this mess too, he really has proven to be an admirable person throughout the manga. And this Fan Dumb trope is grating on my nerves...[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Fukuda needs to show up more often. When he makes an important appearance, he's usually my favorite character. I especially loved his reaction when Takagi told him about Mashiro and Azuki. We might as well call this the Fan Dumb arc. I appreciate the one person who said that Azuki was lessening her workload to participate in the Reversi anime, and there wasn't a hint of malice in what they said. The other people were just being complete morons, and the rumors that Fukuda mentioned make me want to facepalm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Games Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 This is why Fukuda's my favourite character. It's Team Fukuda for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Honestly, I have to agree with what [url=https://twitter.com/#!/RolloT]someone[/url] on Twitter said.

burnpsy Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Uhh... Roxas, this arc is ridiculously realistic. I'm fairly sure your yourself pointed out how it is. So feeling insulted makes no sense at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hrm. Isn't it more making fun of voice actress fans than manga fans? I know they overlap, but the whole thing's stemming from newfound misplaced admiration for Miho. Were Ohba or Obata ever involved in a similar scandal? Ashirogi Muto's sort of their self-inserts .-.

burnpsy Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 No, TO and TO were not. The PCP thing was likely based on the Death Note scandal that happened after Death Note was over, but this part in particular has no equivalent from what I can tell.

burnpsy Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 @Denver: Some dude killing people while claiming to be Kira. @Roxas: You find it insulting... but it's accurate. I wouldn't get insulted over something that has proven true time and time again. It's like feeling insulted when someone says you're short.

[/quote] Oh, that. Well... We kinda do .-. Lots of people raeg over things like Naruto being a hypocrite and using Kurama's power or how a 2nd Nanamine arc's stupid, stuff like that. But of course, this doesn't apply to every fan. Plus, all the fans in this arc doesn't necessarily represent their fanbase as a whole. People will probably start showing support after Fukuda's thing. I think the arc's just focusing on RAEGing fans, which is something mangakas are bound to face at one point or another, whether it's related to the story or a personal scandal.
