Last arc was terribad but the first two were definitely good quality. I just wished it ended better.
It would have been a 9/10 but...
8/10

This show was waaaay too long imo. The reactions got old after a while. 13 episodes would have been perfect for this show.

7/10. Pretty enjoyable, but like others have stated it had a rushed unsatisfying ending. The jokes did get a little stale and the last arc was pretty boring imo.

Best food-based anime I have seen in recent years. Out of all the characters, Kawachi was by far my favorite. 9/10

I enjoyed the series and gave it a solid 7/10. I think it's first Arc was the show at it's best. Everything from the Monaco Cup onwards was a mix of funny and dull and lost all of the good character development of the first Arc.

Also maybe I missed something but in the Yakitate 9 Arc how on earth did St.Pierre go into the last round with a lead!? I must have not been paying attention as I thought Pantasia had lost just a single round up till then.

First half was amazing and there was actually some character development. During monaco cup I got fed up with same jokes and didn't really like how the story progressed. At some point they didn't focus almost at all for bread baking, which didnt quite work for me. Last arc felt quite pointless but it was like return to old episodes, which was nostalgic.

This anime could've been really epic with better story. However the comedy parts worked really well for most of the time, so I'll give 8/10.

I knew it the glasses is the evil being

Awwwww
A really rushed ending, but overall a (pretty) happy ending

I'll miss the reactions
I want to see the complete version of Jya-pan too :(

So far the LotR reaction is the best though

Pretty much an open end for the anime, but I can't wait to pick up the manga to see the even better Japan xD

Has been a crazy and extremely enjoyable ride for sure. I don't mind series using the same formula, especially if they go wild like here. I also loved the cast.

So yeah, overall a great anime.

8,5/10 maybe even 9/10

Really great ending, he fulfilled his dream, many things got resolved and for a moment I even hoped he would ask Tsukino for her hand...! And they even made it so that a sequel would be totally possible xD Hope we can see one now that Chuuka Ichiban is getting remade too!

All in all I loved this series and it smoothly goes into my top 3 anime of all time... I just love Azuma Kazuma, Pierrot, Kuroyanagi and everything else in this show and I'm glad it went on for so long!

Originally I planned to visit our local bread museum after finishing the series but due to Corona I will have to postpone that... Hopefully everything will be resolved by the time I've finished the Manga (which supposedly has a worse ending)
Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho

I really loved this anime, I give it a 9/10. It was a really big effort to get through, as I started it back in July. I do see some flaws (Kawachi and Tsukino really doing nothing, inconclusive ending, Kirisaki never being explained, the last couple episodes being rushed as hell) but I have read how the manga ends in a worse way so I won't bother with the manga and I'll just be done here

I guess with the anime ending, the show's creators dropped all pretexts and just decided to do whatever they want. I suppose that's fine, as it's been one long journey for Kazuma. The only thing he has left, as far as character growth, was the final acknowledgement that he had far surpassed everyone else in the show in terms of skill. That, and the final reveal for Kirisaki's relationship to Kazuma.

At the end, Yakitate Japan was absolutely Shokugeki no Souma before Shokugeki no Souma. Both shows had similar issues with overemphasizing the reactions over showing off their recipes. Somehow, Yakitate Japan ended up having even more overblown reactions, which were hit or miss depending on the episode. When they worked, however, Yakitate Japan most certainly knew how to string along jokes and setups into big climatic match finales.

So I guess Meister Kirisaki is just as stupid as Suwabara... they'll actually fight for the enemy who tries to destroy what they love just for their own selfish reasons.

The last arc was certainly a disappointment and since it was pretty long it's the main reason why I rated this much lower than I thought in the beginning. The last episodes were also incredibly rushed. The opponents in the last arc were hella boring and repetitive. Kawachi stayed annoying throughout the whole show and ended up being a joke of a baker in the end. But the worst thing is: They never even revealed why Kirisaki became such an asshole. "You wouldn't understand" was all we got from him when talking to Pierrot, really? What lazy ass shit writing is this? 4/10 only because it was kinda enjoyable at the start.
