Joint Review of Bakuman 171: Microphone and Script

[alphabeta]

I think we should do this JR like this.

Predictions will be done by me.
Impressions by Frosty
Analysis by Scav and we can switch this around each Review?

Let me show you a secret.

When you post a suggestion, and receive no reaction, than that's bad.

When you post a decision, and receive no reaction, than that's good.


Long story short. The format KD posted is official. If you have another opinion...

POST IT!

My only addition is that the Analysis is (when fully written) twice as big as the impressions or the predictions. It might be usefull to add another 4th reviewer to the team and then split the analysis between two. But that can wait for 172 or even 173.

well no complain here. For the analysis it can be good if someone write the main analysis, and someone else add his 2nd thought (2,3 lines below each paragraph ) on what the first one wrote ( well ofc if he have something to say).
same goes for the predictions.

Well, the chapter is out now...

[scav]

i'll check it tonight. I hope it's a good chapter

[kdowns]

It is, My Section will be posted on Sunday.

[alphabeta]

If everything goes smooth in this review, I'll try getting OtakuModeEngage to the team. That would be a total of 4 then.

[FrostyMouse]

I'll get something posted up today.

[scav]

same i'll try to finish today. cuz i'm busy on the week

[alphabeta]

Scav, don't forget that the analysis has to include panels of the chapter. If you can't crop them yourselv, name the exact panel, someone else (worst case scenario, I myself) is going to do that instead.

Analysis

1-It's a bad idea

The chapter start with takagi telling to kaya about the public audition and explain the process.Kaya is surprised, she thinks it's unfair because the most popular actress will get more chance to win (indeed) but it was Saiko descision, even thought takagi accepted it, he wasn't up for it. He just respected Saiko descision. From Saiko point, if Azuki doesn't win, that mean she doesn't have the ability to be Naho's voice.
Kaya is not the only one to think that the public audition are a bad idea. Azuki's manager doesn't look happy(problem? ). He's yelling and says that it ruin everything. However Azuki have a positive attitude toward the audition when everybody think it's unfair ( well nothing will surprise me with those 2). The manager is worried, but seems like he have enough confidence in Azuka to let her take part on the audition.

The dougie, you're doing it right



2-the storm is coming

The Organizators have all the contextant for the Audition gathered in one piece.There are a lot of contextant, they have first to send a taped demo and only the first twenty will be selected for the audition. The text for the demo is short, however the script for the real audition is long. there are a lot of amateurs among the contextant, they're impressed by the lenght of the script. But not all the candidates are amateur, some are real pro and full of confidence. One of them called Otsuki says will a devilish looking that "she can get the role". Another one called Natarakun, who's presented as an Azuki friend, says she will go all out. She have more popularity than Azuki, and she's clearly not the only one. The vote are nationals, so all the best voice actress want to win, the results will decide who's the number one. It's going to be difficult for Azuki, the storm's coming toward the couple ()

3-Everyone's talking about it

Hattori's having a discussion with takagi and Saiko about the audition.It became the big talk of the media: On jump, on tv advertissment and even after crow anime. That's a good news for Ashirogi muto, at least jump readers will be aware of the audition, the fans of the actress won't be the only one to vote. The advertissement on Jump have a good effect, the students are talking about it after jump release. However they have differents opinions, not all of them are rooting for Azuki. On the web, the fanatics are talking about it aswell, fatboy is exuding his poison again( i hate that guy )
Takagi is on it too. He get all panicked when he find a poll on the web were Azuki is only 5th, we can see that from his sweat. After seeing it, Kaya is panicking too, however tagaki is reasurring her: "people doing those sort of thing are the actress-loving fans".

WTF is this Shit?



4-The day before: memories,thoughts and confidence

Dun Dun Dun, J-1 before the audition. How are our future married? are they stressed and panicked? nah Saiko is chilling with tagaki on the balcon, drinking beer (gimme me one ). Tagaki get a bit emotional and start to talk about their dream and the long road they walked together since high school. He put the point on how difficult it is for someone aiming to become a voice actress and get the role she want. They're at the end of the road to their dream, the next day Azuki will take the "microphone of dreams" and tagaki says how amazing it is. Saiko is kinda relaxed and indifferent, he don't want to text Azuki, he's confident.
On the other side, Azuki's in her room with the script. Azuki's not totally sure to win, when her sister tell her "you'll get married", she answer "it's not decided yet". However the confidence is there too, her sister give her a lucky charm and more confidence.They go to eat, their mother made a real feast (yummiiiiiii ). pré-celebration?

5-Audition day:this is the war

The audition day: Azuki is coming for the audition. A lot of fans fanatic gathered in the place, some of them are rooting in for Azuki, but a lot of them are booing her. Seems like there still some haters who think she got her because her connection . I kinda understand why Saiko wanted to make public auditions, everything make sense now, at least that way if Azuki win everyone will acknowledge her
Azuki get in the room where all the selected actress gathered, she meet her friend Natara. While they walk on the piece, they heard the others actress talking, some are gossiping, scheming, talking about their relations and stuff.And everybody point out Azuki. Otsuki come toward Azuki with his devilish smile, just to say that she will win (straight and arrogant woman). Another big shot come, an old one but popular, she act all friendly but she's just faking, on the inside she's underestimating all the other candidats because her experience. this is funny how everybody's faking in his own way, they're all ready to crush their opponents. this is the war ( SPAAAARRRRRTA ).

Haters gonna hate



6-here we go

The audition gonna start. they explains the procress and the rules to the candidates. they'll go one by one on the recording studio. Tagaki, Saiko and kaya are in front of their Tv. The first candidate doesn't make good impression on Kaya, she get bored. When Otsuki ( the arrogant one ) turn come, she make a good impression to the viewers, they praise her on the web. Same goes for goda ( the old one) she impress the viewers.
On the waiting room, Azuki is relaxed and thinking about Saiko, while all the others canditates are stressed. When Azuki is called in, she goes without her script ( she proved on the previous chapter that she don't need one). She announce her name on the "microphone of dreams" and the chapter end on a goddamn cliffhanger (@#$%*#@! ).

The microphone of dream

Azuki-Saiko, still a better story than twilight -scav
