THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I read "The Old Man and the Sea" years ago when I was a dumb kid in high school as part of a summer reading assignment. I didn't think much of it then, but HOLY SHIT this episode was a revelation! Poetic, poignant, and relevant to every person who has ever lived, only now has it been made painfully obvious to me what took Hemmingway 10 years to put to pen: to be human is to struggle against all the obstacles life throws at you. Where strength fails you, and when hope seems fleeting, you can still find the courage in your heart to face the challenges before you. Hemmingway's the star, but the way this episode presented the story, the subtle narration, piecing together tidbits of the tale, constructed in a way applicable to average people with 9-5 jobs, simply brilliant. I still tear up thinking about it. Ideal anime wife? |

Yes. That's why Bartender is such a good anime.  |

tsk, an overvalued writer, Hemingway. Anyway, I'm happy for the business man. "A man might disappear, but never lose." |

This anime has more style in one episode then most have in entire seasons.  |

Really good episode, it showed a new side of the 9-5 workers and the hardships they face sometimes... really well done :)  |

Honestly, It didn't do a whole lot for me. I get the message but, I just didn't enjoy the episode personally. She said, "Don't make others suffer for your personal hatred." |

Old Man and the Sea, I hardly see this book mentioned in media, let alone anime, so it was a pleasant surprise. I might not be able to connect with all the emotions and morals in Bartender, but I recognize that they're there. This show is certainly something special.  |

Had never heard of the story before, but the overall point of this episode was nice. Yet another enjoyable episode. |

Definitely the best episode so far. Hopefully it continues to impress ... but loses the sparkles     |

He is tending to their hearts. I'll never think of Bartenders the same way. Though, I want backstory on him.  |
