This is a review for the whole series in general (The whole of Bakuman in its 3 seasons). I've chosen to write it this way so as to give potential viewers a better overall picture if they want to start watching this series.
Story: 8 The premise is interesting and gives its viewers an insight into the world of manga and anime. The pacing is appropriate for sufficient character developments, establishing well the world the characters live in without feeling slow and boring. There are plenty of heartwarming situations for viewers looking for a feel-good anime.
Animation: 8 In this shounen, battles are fought with the pen and this is as much as you can get if you're expecting any action sequences (though I'm quite pleased with whatever knowledge I've gotten regarding the drawing process of manga). Character designs are interesting and pleasing to the eye (at least mine).
Sound: 8 With the appropriate soundtrack to achieve the desired heartwarming feelings effect and catchy opening and ending songs, I must give credit to the sound production team.
Character: 8 The characteristics of each character is well defined, with some of them standing out and being very memorable. Every main character develops and progresses though some more than others but considering the relatively huge main cast (compared to many other anime), I'll say it's pretty satisfying.
Enjoyment: 9 A great ride that is at times hilarious, exciting and heartwarming.
Overall: 8 / 10

I find this series very entertaining and always find myself fired up when everyone gets in that mode of the whole my rivals are pushing me to do my best in the manga world. Nizuma Eji I have to say would be my most favorite out of the manga authors there because well he's a genius at most. Ashirogi is also my favorite in the series. I've watched all three seasons and don't want to see this series end.
