Line 24:
* In Chapter 93, what's with the statue-humping? Is it some wack-ass way of getting around, I don't know, the Shonen Comics Code?
** Maybe Shizuka's drunk enough to think it's an actual woman. But it seems odd that they'd dump a statue like that in an alley.
* Does it seem odd that Moritaka's parents are [https://web.archive.org/web/20100723125912/http://www.onemanga.com/Bakuman/94/16/ now letting him drop out of college to work on improving his art], when they had previously set college graduation as his deadline for getting secure? It would have been nice to see a scene indicating that they're perhaps more confident in his future as a mangaka as a result of him getting more popular and learning from experience (even if they don't know that he'll get canceled if he can't compete with Eiji), since the last time their feelings about that, Moritaka's mother wanted him to quit when he was hospitalized.
* Does anyone besides Takagi, the Miyoshi family and Iwase know about [[The Promise]] between Mashiro and Azuki to get married once PCP gets an anime and Azuki becomes the main heroine? Hattori seems quite surprised at a few points at how insistent Mashiro and Takagi are at getting an anime, and as this may well come up now that {{spoiler|PCP apparently won't be getting an anime}}, it's strange that he's been their editor for so long without them saying anything about this to him.
** It's an extremely personal detail in their private lifes, and it's usually clear that work and personal details shouldn't mix.
** Also Takagi tries to say why they want an anime so much and Mashiro shuts him up, so most likely Mashiro doesn't want to tell Hattori.
*** Hattori finds it suspicious on a few occasions how much they're going for an anime, and even back in Chapter 14 (when they still thought they could get an anime at 18), asks why they're in such a hurry. One would think he would be a little closer to figuring out why they want an anime, especially since Mashiro immediately recommends Azuki for the PCP audio CD.
* How are the producers of the anime going to convert over 100 chapters worth of material into a 25-episode anime? [[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]] had 37 episodes for 108 chapters, making a roughly 1:3 episode-chapter ratio, and even then, the producers cut out a fair amount from the last part, including the last two chapters. Considering that Bakuman probably will have at least as many chapters as Death Note by the time it ends, making it at least 1:4 (if not closer to 1:5), I can only see the producers removing even more (perhaps the entire Tanto arc?), or significantly changing the plot.
** I imagine they will cut some of the scenes not relating to the main duo's manga development as long as it doesn't interfere with the plot. For instance there are a lot of scenes on Otter 11's development and getting the mangaka to actually work on it. It's not crucial to the story so I think scenes like this would be cut.
** Or maybe there'll be a second season depending on the anime's success! With the length of the manga, there are probably quite a few places where the anime could end while resolving most plot threads, leaving material for future seasons.
Line 52:
* Couldn't the whole anime thing get resolved if they got an OVA? It's technically an anime, though I have no idea how the making-an-OVA process would go, or if the same sponsor thing would arise.
** I believe that if it were to occur, that would mean that Bakuman is close to an end.
* In the anime, why is Shounen Jump called Shounen Jack? I would understand if they were talking about another magazine (say, Sunday or Magazine) but why do they have to change it when Bakuman serialized in Jump? [[Gintama (Manga)|Gintama]] has no problems saying "Jump" all the time...
** Copyright issues.
** That and Gintama never says ''Weekly Shonen Jump'' or ''Shonen Jump'', they just say ''Jump'', definitely keeping the Trademark away from being used.
