I remember now why I cut off my waistlong hair in my youth
Asatte no Houkou - Batou's review of this show in episode 69 was very promising, partly because of the way he delivered it and also for the following reasons:
the theme sounded like something I'd enjoy watching, it would only be 13 episodes long and the premise of a slow paced anime ultimately convinced me to download it.
Uhm .... I can't really top Batou so you should really listen to his review, especially since I conveniently linked the episode up there.
(But if you're curious about my opinion I'd say it won't be a waste of your time or attention. Some might feel that the characters seem one-dimensional or boring at first glance but there is depth present, along with growth/maturing.
Having established 'issues' already incorporated in/before the beginning of the anime (a break-up, wishes for change, relationships, etc) sort of puts you at a halfway mark from the get-go, with flashbacks serving to flesh out everything further. I like how it's moving forward while they're looking back and in that sense you get to experience them move in two different directions at the same time.
Being really tired combined with not being able to clearly express my thoughts on this anime isn't really helping me attempt to convey my experience, lol. The lack of expressiveness could also be explained by the fact that it doesn't inspire the same kind of reaction that "Yakitate Japan" did, which is what made it so easy to babble on about, so I end up not having much to say in the first place.
Anyway. My main point is that I enjoyed it and maybe you will too :)
Timechaser: And it probably could've been stretched for many more episodes, lol. For some reason I thought Azuma would go on a "Pan tour" in various countries at some stage so it was kinda disappointing when that didn't happen ^^;
Azure: If you think the name of the show is weird, I highly recommend you actually look at a couple of episodes XD
Beckles: It most definitely is worth checking it out! The great thing about the torrent for Yakitate Japan is that it's divided into batches. So if you're unsure about whether or not it's for you then it's just a matter of settling for the first batch instead of downloading one huge file :)
Schultzereen: I was looking into the possibility to head towards LA next year, for AX, but it might not happen. While I figure that out you should check out Yakitate Japan, for sure ;p
