While watching "Bakuman2" I barely noticed "Bakuman 1" faults but unfortunately the manga this season was based on wasn't as good as the source of the first.

The story in this season is one of the lowest points of Bakuman. I almost read all the manga chapters but I nearly stopped reading when I read these chapters. It's still bakuman though and I'm pleasantly surprised at how captivating the anime became.

The conversations pretty much stay at the same level as in the first season but there are less interesting topics.

I've completely gotten used to the art style so I have no complaints about the animation.

Bakuman as a whole is a great series and most second seasons aren't as good as the first. Even though I more or less knew what was going to happen, I still felt the urge to always watch the next episode.
I'm looking forward to season 3.

What I liked:
- Great cliffhangers at the end of each episode, even the last.
- Good ending

What I didn't like:
- The plot developments in this season.
- Time skips make a bit more difficult to follow. (show less)
