| Well, it ended up in a nice way. Enjoyable and relaxing, but easily forgettable. 7/10 |
| I was hoping for some memories to be revealed and a longer fighting scene. This episode made me lower my score from a 7/10 to a 5/10 |
 |
| Finished. I hated everything about it. From the drug breads to the annoying and simple characters to the ultra boring, uninteresting and cliché story. Pirate bro was bro though. 1/10 |
 |
| I still have no idea what was this whole series about. It was neither bad nor good. I'm surprised you can feel so indifferent after 12 episodes... |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Not good and not bad.. not much to say. 7/10 |
| It was a good ending tho it could have used some more spices then again the entire anime has been pretty laid back. I wonder if there will be sequel to this. The anime itself was pretty nice to see a strange but happy island and the way there bakers live. |

| I feel sorry for the suckers who came in thinking this would be an action anime. Anyway, thought it was average, though I thought they should have just stuck with the slice of life, because then the action tag wouldn't be on this, and so many people here wouldn't have been bored out their mind by watching the Breadmaking version of Aria. 6/10. Good, nothing special though, was a relaxing show and had fantastic animation and art. I wrote a review, made sure to say "Do not watch if you're expecting action", as I feel that's one of the series main problems. |

| episode was dull... There were some good episodes here and there, but I was annoyed at how characters were introduced and then never seen again. It's like 'why'd you bother with that episode?' All I can think is that there's a second season on route which will actually feature the other characters more, but the chances aren't very high. Nothing happened...not on the Slice of Life front, not one the action front, nothing. And OF COURSE the 'final battle' was basically just Rick and that stupid girl from the castle. We still got no reason why the castle likes to confiscate anything someone gets by their own hard work. And we have no clue why the prince is such a jerk, or what his next jerk move was going to be. The ONLY redeeming feature of this show was Xiao-Mei and Hank. They carried the show for me. Melty was great too, but she was one of those that were introduced and never seen again. I could go on and on with how this show was disappointing. And no, I never once suspected it was an action show. The title kinda made it seem impossible. I did expect some action here and there though. Which was to be had. Slice of life is either supposed to make you laugh your face off, or watch as the characters grow with each other, getting through the problems of life. This was basically Rick's emo journey to understand that he wants to bake bread. Rick and the three are as oblivious to the true nature of the island as they were since the beginning. It's just sad. |

When i thought I had finally found it, the subs were french xD |
| 6/10 Was boring till last 3 episodes |
| This episode was actually nothing special to me, it did feel like an ending even though it didn't give that much closure. Overall this show.. Hmm.. The reason I started watching this show was because of the art, and it made me stay for the whole thing too. I did come in expecting some action at first but was slightly disappointed that there were very little. The small bits of action were pretty good though, so I'm quite satisfied with that. The characters were great IMO, the art was just awesome, voice acting was very good and the music was also really good. Pretty relaxing show in the end, with a great atmosphere and a bit of action here and there. I originally intended to give it 7/10, but after some thinking I found this to be pretty enjoyable and fun to watch. 8/10 |

| kinda boring. 5/10 |

I don't see how so many people is hating on this show and made this show have such a lower score while Aria have much higher score. Well, Aria was from the start sure of what it wanted to do and never deviated from that, at least not for very long. It did what it set out to do very well and in a way that satisfied the expectations of the people watching it to a very high degree. Shining Hearts, however, has struggled with what it was trying to be and in the end didn't do what it wanted to do very well. Now, mind you, I didn't dislike Shining Hearts, but I felt it definitely did better when it wasn't trying to be trying to be action/adventure. The actions sequences, with the exception of the sword fight between Rick and Xiao-Mei in the castle, just simply came across very awkwardly to me. Everything else, from Hank's motor scooter to Rick's sudden ability to take down a high tech battleship with a sword, just came across as so much "Gee! Look at what I can do!" and felt very out of place. |

| An anime about bread making should stick to bread making. The series went down hill once they incorporated fighting into it. Overall the anime was average. This episode and its conclusion emphasized that. 6/10 |
| For being a part of the shining series this was a disappointment.. I started playing the games since the first one made its debut and checked out the anime.. It was all great. This just sucked.. but I guess everything cooked up comes with a bad egg every now and then.. |
| I guess Shinning series will never get any decent adaptation. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| I'm really disappointed... I was still hoping for some answers and to see some past scenes. We didn't even see the pirate girl at all... nothing happened and we still don't know anything This anime was worth watching just because Melty & Sorbet were in it. |
parfaited said: Well, it WAS all about the bread. In the end, that was all that mattered, right? ;)I was going to give this a 4 if not for the scene where Rick was basically dying and he still puts in effort to take some bread out to give to Kaguya. 5/10 |
|
| it was okay. i just didn't find this show standing out because it didn't had much actions, it's still bread in the end! but hey, that's how this show's supposed to be, i guess. i like most of the chars though, they are really cute. pretty much the only thing worth enough for me. |
InfiniteRyvius said: You have either never seen Aria or you're on some of this Shiawase no Pan crack to write something like that...Breadmaking version of Aria. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| I now crave some doughy goodness, not much else aside from that. I was hoping some of the other characters would have played bigger roles before the conclusion but ah well. |
 |
| Nice, but deep down I think it was below average. Maybe I expected more. Shame that Mistral neve rmade a debut. Blank adaptation overall if you ask me. Game was much better. |
 |
| ¬ Can anyone please tell spoil me the games plot from all of this? I haven't played the game but I've heard that the world they currently live in is fake or something created by Kaguya in order to escape the harsh reality of the real world and In "real" reality or Rick's world all the bread making girls are dead? (As we see in that sudden flashback in the anime) And Rick story is somewhat depressing? If thats the case, I don't get why they didn't adapt and portray it to that extent. For an anime with very good art/animation and VA's it just seems like a waste =/ |
| So.. There isn't going to be any explanation on how they got to the shore, lost their memories, their past lives etc.? Looking back at it, there's quite number of characters that are pointless throughout the series too, like the elves and the tsun witch..Or.. They are just created to taste Rick's bread.. Not sure to give it a 4/10 or 5/10.. The female character design is good, but that's all.. F/ |
| It was good, enjoyable in its own way. |

Meddigo said: Where the hell is Mistral? Seriously. The only reason I bothered with this show is because I wanted to see how Yukarin would voice Mistral. What the hell was Production IG thinking? This incompetent trash can't even be called an adaptation of an already bad game. They wasted a bunch of money on this, and they don't even have the fan-favorite girl show up? Jeez. The only thing decent about this show were the character designs by Tony Taka. That's it. I was so waiting for Misty as well!!! ;____; |
Satoko said: This anime was worth watching just because Melty & Sorbet were in it. Those two were really nice compared to the rest of the cast. I did also like Xiao-Mei to some extent, but I definitely had 0 care for the main cast. |
| It wasn't nearly anything amazing, but I enjoyed it well enough and I'd like to see more, plus I really liked the setting and designs. 7/10. |
| Terribad....but i have seen worse. Total waste of my time though. :( |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| 6 out of 10. +1 for the catchy ED theme song. = 7/10. I Still dont get this show right to the end lol. Its about bread right? *scratches head* |
 |
| It really wasn't all that bad. I enjoyed the fantasy setting, the character art, the voice acting and especially the music. Guess it could have been much better with more episodes. 5/10 |
| Utterly disappointing final episode, they tried to implement a plot but ultimately failed, it feels like we should get a second season or an OVA but we won't because this show was a piece of crap and the sales reflect that. |
| Very average. The Pirate dude was cool though. The ending just seemed to make everything go back to normal. nothing more about Ricks past or Kaguya. Oh well I guess. |
 |
| Good, relaxing, enjoyable anime for people who likes SOL anime, but really boring for those who dosen't like it. Although the plot is very simple or it can be said there's no plot, It still pretty worthed 7/10 for me |
| Almost took me half a year to watch 12 episodes...ouch. The episode itself was pretty okay 3/5. I'm giving this a generous 5/10 as I did enjoy the scenes with the side characters (special mention to Xiao-Mei). I would actually like to see a spin-off featuring Xiao-Mei, Dyran, Lorna and Hank. That could be pretty entertaining. I didn't really care about the main characters or the plot here though. |
| It was average... shame that it didn't turned out how the game was. A lot of characters were missing from the show and if they used half of the stuff that it was in the game, this anime would have been far better. I had high hopes for it... |
|
| I enjoyed it. The beginning was boring and the crack like bread was a bit annoying at times. But I'm a sucker for this kind of setting with all the genres it mixed in. I wish the romance was more of a focus. The art and animation was beautiful. Every character was wonderfully drawn and so were the backgrounds. It would be cool if this got a second season. I want to play the game now but I don't have a psp. 8/10 |
