Bakuman Episode 24 Watch Download

With Akito's help, Takagi gets another classmate and his school crush, Azuki Miho, who is an aspiring voice actress, to voice in the anime adaptation of their future manga once it is completed. However, Mashiro also proposes to Azuki, who surprisingly accepts only on the condition she will marry him when both of them have achieved their dreams. With a goal set before him, Mashiro begins a long and struggling path to become a famous mangaka.



Director Shin Itagaki's camera slides over Hisashi Abe's slinky female designs, Dante uses his oversized Freudian weaponry to assert his dominance, and much slicing and exploding occurs. But rarely does it all gel into something interesting. As lead character, Dante does little more than project stylish ennui and effortlessly dispatch various uglies. So effortless is his monster dispatching that none of the fights can muster any suspense, and so stony is his demeanor that he's more deus-ex-machina than flesh-and-blood human (or demon, or whatever). The secondary cast might have compensated, but unfortunately Patty is a mere plot device, a failed ploy to add humanity to Dante, and the supporting players are stock characters of the most insultingly unelaborated type. Hardly the stuff of intense audience identification. Nothing that the all-star Japanese cast or the intensely faithful English adaptation does changes that (though Reuben Langdon's flippant Dante is a step in the right direction). Nor could they reasonably be expected to. No matter how experienced one is, no one can turn garbage like “the longer one gambles, the more interesting it becomes...the same as a kiss” into gold without being a certified alchemist.
