Honestly maybe I still didn't watched too many animes but from the ones I did Bakuman is just on another level. The motivation and power that this anime gave me is just incredible. I guess that from now on there won't be any anime that will go in my rankings so high. For me Bakuman shows clear enough that you don't have to have high detailed beautiful graphic to be good because there is nothing better than great story with even better written characters.

In my opinion if you like slice of life animes and you have a dream then this anime is a must watch for you and even if you don't have any special goal in your life then I'm sure you will find one after Bakuman ;)
