Should've seen it coming, really
Bah, my attempt to fall asleep early was foiled. So here I am. Subject #1:
Yakitate Japan - Going through Anime Pulse's archives my interest was piqued when Ichigo spoke of this show in episode 5. Having an interest in baking, as well as a firmly established love for puns (good or bad), I decided to download Yakitate Japan.
And it did not dissapoint! Funny characters, informative, hilarious situations/reactions and puns in abundance. One thing that worried me was the fact that I might get bored with the repetitiveness of the storyline and characters but thankfully that didn't happen.
The last "arc" felt somewhat out of place at first, though once it was over I could see why they went that way. It tied everything together more neatly than if they'd wrapped it up straight after the Monaco Cup.
Another thing that helped this series out further was how they'd poke fun of themselves (and others) every so often. A lot of tongue in cheek got implemented - as if the creators were aware of the possible pit falls that would turn viewers off. It was crazy just how accurately they were placed, too.
Any time I began worrying about losing interest (which happened one or two times, max), or felt that a flaw threatened to ruin my enjoyment, it was immediately tackled in that episode or the one after. Not even the constant pausing to keep up with all the information/explanations could prevent me from absolutely falling for this anime.
My sister is visiting this week and I decided to show her the first episode. It didn't take more than the opening to hook her on Yakitate Japan!! I can't wait to see how she responds to all the other wonderful episodes yet to come ~_^
