That was my firt reaction when i heard of Yakitate! Japan, thats the common reaction when i recommend this anime.
"OMG!!!! This ANIME IS awsome!!"
That was my reaction after watching an few episods and the common reaction of people i know who watched it.
Its hard to start to watch the anime, thats why i will list the most reasone why most of you are afraid of this topic, backing bread, because that were the reseaon why i was afraid or not really interested into yakitate.
1. Its a shounen-Manga based Anime, which means, it will be an anime with a lot of episodes, maybe filler because the anime reach the manga to fast.
Thats true. There were a lot of episodes, but each episode it so funny that you just want to watch more and in the 69 there is not a single episode that isnt uniqe. The problem of Anime catching up with manga, is one of the common problems of Shounen-Manga based anime and that there will be fillers, but in Yakitate, even there are filler, you dont reconize it.
2. Due to the Shounen aspect, the characters will be really weak and stereotypical.
Thats true too. The main Characters are really most like the common shounen characters.The developeman of the characters are shounen-typical too and the backgrounds and the motivations of the villains are stereotypical too. Even so, the characters are really thought-through and good choosen, and bring some little surprises too.
3.(and the most important point) AND THE STORY???? WHAT THE HECK CAN HAPPEND IN AN ANIME ABOUT BREAD!?!?!?
When you hear about an anime about a ninja boy who wanna be a hero, you know it will be a good story with nice character and a lot of action.
When you hear about an anime about a sports you would know that it will be about determination, willing to win and about friendship and rivalry.
when you hear about an anime with mecha, you know it will be fight between meachs and big battles.
But what about cooking?
the last cooking anime was cooking master boy, that thats an anime most dont know.
The importants reason of seeing Yakitate Japan isnt the animiation stil, the art or the characters, it is because of the awsome story and the amazing humor.
Its an anime that can show you the joy of cooking.
Its an anime with an incredible form of humor.
But the most important reason to watch it, and why i like to watch it:
Its fill your heart with enjoyment and pleasure while watching each episode.
