An anime series about a bartender at work might not sound like anything worth paying attention to, but Bartender is a calm, gentle series that might be just what you need. Each episode covers the stories of customers that go into a bar to soothe their souls. Bartender Ryu Sasakura assists them with their problems by making them a cocktail with a history or taste that relates to read more
Even among bars, there is a variety of styles: from seedy dockside dives, to beer halls where there is always a ball game or race being played on a large screen, to the dimly-lit classier cocktail bars... What, then, is a bar? A place where they serve drinks, sure, but that's just an element of the whole. A bar is a social environment safe from the rest of the world where one goes read more
The stories to me are real, and relatable. Each episode appeals to the mind and the emotion. There is no cheezy moment that you see in most slice of life anime. The writer of this puts read more
Upon first approaching this anime I was expecting this series’s "Bartender" theme to simply be a gimmick, but no it is actual everything you would expect from an anime that deals heavily with life in a bar. (minus the fist fights of course, since this is a small classy bar) Story: 7/10 Bartender revolves around a young man named "Ryu Sasakura" and his many experiences working in a small town bar of his. The main chunk of the story will deal with one of two things the whole way through: Ryu listening to his customer’s problems, and giving a pretty in depth history on read more
Imagine the thought of going to a bar for the very first time. Even after going through the trouble of eventually arriving at one, you stand outside the bar idly, wondering whether you should go in or not. Afraid that you’ll be made fun of, afraid you’ll embarrass yourself, you become anxious and the door handle feels heavy, as if it’s shutting you out. But mustering up the courage, you cautiously open the door and take a peek inside. Dim lights, gentle murmurs of people talking, occasional clangs of glasses, classy jazz playing in the background; all read more
Rather, the score reflects the fact that this anime is not for me. In fact, I'm not exactly sure who it is read more
Throughout every single episode, you'll be laughing, crying, pondering, and a bunch of other "-ing"s, because it's just that good. I simply cannot praise it enough. I'm so sad it had only 11 episodes, but I also read more
The musical score is breathtaking, and quite appropriate for the gritty city setting of the bar, with a lot of nice jazzy tracks. The characters in Bartender are very colorful and human, each with their own flaws and problems. On a whole, little about this series is idealized and dumbed-down for the masses; on the contrary, it's a very classy anime that has a certain maturity requirement to watch. If you don't appreciate this show for what it is, then it's your loss.
Story: 4 Bartender is one of those series where the story changes from episode to episode. Each one deals with a different person, where they are in life, and how Sasakura's bartending skills help them. I found that the stories tended to be hard to follow or even practically nonexistent. Even with the episodes that had clear read more
As you could probably guess, it's about a bartender. Ryuu, known by some as the "Glass of the Gods", is a passionate bartender who tends to the inconspicuous bar of Eden Hall. One way or another, troubled souls find their way into Eden Hall, and with his unwavering read more
The look of the show is fine. There really isn't anything visually interesting about the show with the exception of the presentation of the drinks I suppose. Everything works fine, and you feel like you've seen a lot of the characters and places before. Whether or not this feeling of familiarity is intended still gave me rather ho-hum feelings toward the look. Sound- 7 Again, not much to write about here, the opening and ending are both forgetable. On a refresher listen on youtube, it was as if I was hearing the opening for the first time. The ending is better, giving a suitable tone for read more
The moral of the story is that alcohol solves everything story 10/10 The art style wasn't too impressive except for all the drinks art 10/10 The music was nice jazzy stuff, good for getting drunk to 10/10 Characters all loved getting drunk 10/10 Enjoyment 10/10 Overall 10/10 Best show ever. It was good which makes it not bad.
I'm a bartender, I have been for 2 years by now and it's a job I love, you chat with a lot of people and have lots of fun, but there are times that you can't read a situation and how to deal with certain types of clients. What I had learn of watching Sasakura changed my way of dealing with customers, I have become a lot more friendly and charming to them, and I have received a lot of read more
A basic question, but one i was curious to know when I started this show. The creation and history of alcoholic drinks that can relate to a person's life, but how? Well like all my reviews Ill keep it short and sum everything up trying to be as spoiler free as possible. ~STORY~ The show follows a common slice of life trait being.....theirs no real overarching story. The show revolves around problems that the characters are facing in life and how are genius bartender helps them through it. The shows problems are nothing of extreme, they read more
Story- The story of this aniime is definitely is weakest point because it is for the most part episodic and it specifically has no story for the only constant character in this show. despite this flaw each episode has a beautifully done plot and those can be incredibly touching. 8/10 Art- The art in this show is nothing to marvel at but they made nice use of their budget and the drink mixing looks great.7/10 sound- they have all the sounds you would hear in a bar and I personally love the opening theme.9/10 character- This is where the show truly shines, in read more
I adored the story! I like the unconventional way that each person's story is told, it draws you in and you feel relaxed. Comforted in the atmosphere of the bar, the characters, it grabs you right on the heart strings. It's just amazingly written, if I had to name a bad point is that sometimes it can be hard to follow but, at the end it all makes perfect sense. You just need the mind to read into things a bit deeper than is spoken aloud. Art: 9/10 It was standard art for the most part, but what got it a 9 overall was the eyes. read more
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 read more |
