Bartender
So I went into this anime expecting so much. I mean an anime called bartender brought up hopes of the seedy underbelly of a city that is all told in moments spent at the bar telling the bartender each individual storyline that will somehow connect the entire city into a crime filled hub.
Though I suppose I am too influenced by pulpy fiction.
This anime is nothing like that. It is calm and slow moving; designed specifically not to give you action and idle entertainment, but instead to make you stop and appreciate drinks for what they are. Bartender is a varitable history of drinks; a dictionary of their menaings. The stories that are told are of glimpses into a persons life not their enirety. However, this is a very barlike situation. The bartender in any bar can only know what a person is like at that particular moment unless they become regulars.
I would say it was not what I expected and far too little for my taste, but I did begin to respect the drinks I have consumed in past. So even if it took a turn on me, it was still worth turning.
