Bartender: Kami no Glass Episode 1 Discussion

I expected nothing, and I'm still let down.



There's so much anime BS on the side of support cast that I don't know where to begin. The owner of the new building wants a bartender that can be a step ahead from the customer and pretty much babysit them rather than you know what any bartender do is to just serve them the drinks that they want. The owner or whoever is in charge of managing the lower staff also doesn't want to spend extra money to find this miraculous bartender that can serve a god drink. They rejected the hot guy that knew how to keep the ladies entertained. These are already big red flags of idiots that don't know how to run a business let alone a big corporation.

The amount of miraculous encounters from the scouting ladies with the bartender is more ridiculous than those in romance shows. And to top it all, some of the lines are cringy as fuck "there are only 2 professions that you must not deceive" it feels like it was written by a teen to impress other teens. Miwa's reaction to the highball served by the bartender was ridiculously excessive, it was just a freaking drink, he didn't find the cure for a deadly disease, nor cooked a meal that would make their clothes burst into nothing.

I'll keep watching a few more episodes, but my expectations are already below ground level.

This's another anime about food, a different one finally.

Btw, in Japan they drink A LOT... A WHOLE LOT, so I wonder why this didn't came up early.

What a beautiful surprise, The animation is very beautiful and the story was very apreciate to watch. The conversation of the characters was very good too, a high point to the charisma of Sasakura, very fun e full of knowledge!

@Kimurah

You didn't even watch the original version. This one is looking a bit better

@MadMonster116 liber definitely improved a lot. Most of the staff here are from ice guy and his cool female colleague(their 1st work), the animation are less stiff and has more movement now.

@YoshiYogurt

You didn't even bother to read my post (typical MAL illiteracy)

My complains aren't about the visuals but the bad writing.

Any manga readers who can tell if this remake gonna be a good adaptation ? From what we see of this 1st episode of course.

I really enjoyed the episode, but I laughed out loud when he explained the meaning of "bartender" as being a "gentle perch", a "tender bar".
Like I know it's a nitpick, and it's mostly for a Japanese audience, but he said it so sincerely that it made me laugh.

Legal tender = gentle laws

"If, when you push open the discreet but heavy door of the Edenhall, you hear the light sound of a piano as well as the gentle greetings of the bartender who works there, it most likely means that it's the Edenhall itself that has invited you there."

After almost 20 years since the 1st adaptation, and almost 5 years since I watched this latest version, I was delighted to be able to dive back into this charming iyashikei, which remains one of the works that has most affected me. To my great delight, this atmosphere has been preserved in this anime, which is much more faithful to the original manga.

This 1st episode was the perfect introduction for newcomers to this wonderful universe. This new version has everything that any good anime fan could wish for. Despite the youth of the Liber studio, we can only congratulate them on the visual quality they have brought to this anime. The art direction is truly exquisite. The OST's that accompany the various scenes are graceful and the animation is very pretty. But, and this is the 1st time I've said this, the sound quality is simply sumptuous. The various sound effects used, particularly during the scene in the Edenhall, were stunning.

I'm expecting a lot from this adaptation, and I hope it gets the popularity it deserves. Let's have faith in studio Liber. I can't wait to see the next episode.

I'm delighted!

I really loved this anime, and I don't even drink it!

I always saw these movies that had these bartenders making a more beautiful drink than the other and I thought it was cool.

It's not just shaking up the drink to and fro, it's a whole technique, a study.

I myself, as I do not drink, know almost no drink that was presented in this episode, but I found it very cool. For those who like this world, this anime is a full plate.

Soon, you'll have anime of everything!

I know there's a lot of fighting anime, romance, horror, but when I see an anime like that, unlike anything I've ever seen, it catches my eye.

I don't know if this anime will be successful, if it will be just one season or several, but I will watch it.
