If the story is interesting, it will be published. But this story is not interesting. That’s how I paraphrase the word of the editor-in-chief Senen Jampa.
No, seriously.
It may be just a manifestation of duckling syndrome, but the film is really weaker than the original source. I understand why this work was done. Successful manga makes everything. Anime adaptation, kinzo, a bunch of souvenir stuff. Therefore, the release of film adaptation was a matter of time. But with the format, the guys clearly miscalculated. Who prevented the series from being 25? Trying to cram 10 years of extremely busy life into 119 minutes ruined history. Bakuman is turned upside down.
For the sake of timekeeping, a bunch of characters were cut, who played an important role in the formation of heroes. Fukuda's team has a head and a half left. It was really a team. Each of them helped each other to fully reveal themselves.
Miho Azuki - spent.
For some... hmm... cut a character line that was the very essence of Mashiro’s motivation. But with the filing of Miesi, who is not here (surprise surprise!), the fulfillment of the dream motivated Takagi. But all who are familiar with the original source we all remember that the pseudonym of the authors Asiroga Muto invented it, and it consisted of hieroglyphs of the names Moritaki, Takagi and Azuki. And there was something else about the fulfillment of dreams, in general, all the symbolism suddenly disappeared somewhere.
Niizuma Eiji was a cool guy. A little eccentric, but he was the second motivating factor for Asiroga, for the whole Fukuda team. And here's some sociopath who draws manga just because he can, and he's been doing it for a long time. He's only cool with that. But I remember him repeatedly supporting Ashirogi, taking part in a boycott against the editorial office when Mashiro fell ill, harnessed for them and directly admired both Saiko and Shujin, recognizing that all his success was largely based on his experience, and that the guys were about to catch up with him.
The presentation of the story is interesting, an excellent introduction with an educational program about how the world of manga lives in general. The battle for ratings between Niizzuma and Asiroga is originally visualized. But this is even more depressing from the big picture. The story itself is ruined.
We are hungry for screen time.
I'm sorry.
WHY. And the actor for the role of Saiko was not very picked up, well, or make-up artists rolled around. The actor, though young, but do not give him 25 (at the time of filming) and 17 he clearly does not drag. More like 45.
