| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- so the first episode of antique bakery is out now! just watched it and found it pretty amusing. especially Tachibana's WTF-Face xD Really like the opening,too, neatly made. But somehow I prefer the art-style of the manga as I like Yoshinaga-sensei's style a lot. what do you think? |
| Am I the only one that realized that it was Lockon Stratos hitting on Ali Al-Shaachez? And then there's al Setsuna sitting in the wings to make a gay love triangle? There's a couple things I had a problem with. First, the animation is really bad and that's evident from the very first scene. The walking motion of the characters makes them seem like they're ion a treadmill. Their feet are always gliding along the gorund. Along with that they use a layer pan too much. That's when there's a still frame floated across screen to give the illusion of movment. It's usually towards or away from the center with part of the frame offscreen to make it more naturl. It just makes everything look even more cheap. There was too much gay and not enough bakery, and that's really a patisserie not a bakery, in Gay Bakery. |
    Sam is my sweet peach |
| ..... I did not know this was shounen ai. I glimpsed at the genre and saw the "shounen" part and not the ai connected to it, and i only read the first sentence of the synposis XD. I guessed it was about delicious cake and whatnot. Instead, I get .... umm..... this..... and I was kind of disturbed. THE POWAH TO TURN ANY STRAIGHT MAN GAY!!! |
     |
| i like it! saw the live action many years ago and really happy to see it animated now! agree that there are bad animation scenes of the characters but that doesn't bother me much. |
 |
| Another anime you can't watch without food around..... I want cake so bad now >_> but anyway, it was ok... I'm not overly impressed but at least I'm glad there seem to be no whiny ukes like in Junjou Romantica... |
 |
| Extremely gay. Especially the op. |
TheWestExit said: Am I the only one that realized that it was Lockon Stratos hitting on Ali Al-Shaachez? And then there's al Setsuna sitting in the wings to make a gay love triangle?. I did notice the VAs which is one of the reasons why I had to watch this series XD Anyway I thought the first episode was hilarious, lol @ the "Gay Demonic Charm" xD |
 |
| oh my goodness that was gay. and weird. uhh i didn't like the animation style AT ALL. but it's different at least so i'll finish it. ali x lockon 4 eva!!!~!! needs a tieria to come fuck things up. |
| Meh, it was alright. The animation was terrible, but I'm willing to give it a chance. At the moment however I doubt it will last long. |
| I don't like the animation, and the characters are pretty annoying... Anyway after watched the episode i want a cake >_> |
   |
| Well, I watched without knowing what it is. I found out pretty fast, but i didn't really mind. The Opening was refreshing unique. The chibi faces were great and it was funny from time to time. I guess it was not bad. Don't know if I will drop it or not. The one thing I liked, though, was that the characters were older than your average anime characters in comedy type animes. |
   |
| I enjoyed it, it was amusing, and as someone said earlier I love Tachibana's wtf face XD I really don't like the opening and ending songs though lol. The animation is odd, but at the same time I really enjoyed the soft coloring. But they don't fit in so well with their surroundings, which are quite beautifully done. I'm definitely going to keep watching this though because I've been waiting for it. |
     |
| I may just keep watching for the lulz, but the animation is really going to bug me. >.<;; I'm wondering if I should watch the drama instead, which I only just found out about. |
 |
| I was rather impressed. For some reason, I didn't expect much from this anime, but I like it better than I thought I would. I don't really like how the actual characters look (Yoshinaga-sensei's art seems to be way better), but the chibis remind me of Shinchan and just because of that I think I can live with it XD (And I have to agree with PristinePanda about the soft coloring!) The pacing was a little weird...but the characters seem interesting and the seiyuu cast is pretty good<333 (Yayyy, Mamo-chan and MikiShin!!!) The 3D backgrounds look odd with the 2D characters, but I'm thinking I like it. It looks different. What impressed me first was actually the opening. Very interesting style, imo, and I think it'll fit well with the overall mood of the anime. And both the OP and ED songs appealed to me; I want to download them already♥ I'm pretty sure I'll be watching this anime to the end :] |
 |
| I really liked episode 1 :) Yeah, the animation style is odd and obviously not big-budget, and the airbrushed coloring on the hair is odd, but I still liked the art style anyway, and the story is cute. Yay Miki Shinichirou! He was very good in this, I loved when he exclaims it's 'dangerous! .. because you're my type...' The SD faces are so funny :) I like Chemistry, so their op/ed songs are nice, if a bit too auto-tune synthesized. Still, nice songs. I also like how Tachibana does the 'this show is sponsored by...' message XD It blends right in, like, I can imagine him moodily reflecting on the sponsors... I look forward to seeing more of this :) The live action drama is ok, but they made Ohno straight ;_; it's not the same without the gayness :) |

| Wow, I really enjoyed this, to my surprise! I admit the art isn't the best, but I find the 2D characters and 3D backgrounds interesting. It is very amazingly gay. :O |

| I liked it. Animation is sucky, but OP is very unique, and there is plenty of shounen-ai angst and cakes, and that means I'm keeping this on my watch list. |

| I'm a bit disappointed with the animation. The background looks weird. But I'm willing to give it a try though since I do like the story itself. Am looking forward to the 'rain scene'. lol!! |
 |
| Holy shit yes. It's gay but not too gay. Perfect. Seiyuus were well chosen for their roles, the colouring is wonderful though animation was pretty much crap. Chibi faces were pretty good actually. Simply loved the ED art. I totally gobbled up both themes, BGM sucked. I am sucker for synthesizers. :3 This episode was all gay except that former boxer part. Hopefully it doesn't get less gay as the two other leads get more screen time. Very amusing. 5/5 P.S. Ass raped at 7 years old>Demonic charm. |

windy said: oh my goodness that was gay. and weird. uhh i didn't like the animation style AT ALL. but it's different at least so i'll finish it. Yeah this. Did think the VAs did a good job though. (That WAS Fujiwara Keiji, excellent.) |
 |
| I really like the manga but the first episode didn't do it much justice. OMG the horrible CG backgrounds killed me, if I didn't know how good the manga was I would have dropped it after 10 minutes. Also, Antique Bakery isn't blatantly Boy's Love, it's more like it has gay undertones (much like Hikaru and Kaoru from Ouran). |
| It was very gay.. HAHA, its a Yaoi. Hmm, the first episode was interesting; a lot of backstory and play without enough anything else. The animation style was interesting; i didn't really mind it that much, infact the combonation of a more traditional style with cg fascinated me. And the chibi faces, lol, i loved them. I don't think I'll be dropping this one anytime soon. |
 |
| One big meh, drop. |

| ramen shop 8D XDDD srlsy! that was too funny XD i have to continue watch this! i love the intro and the ending song, the style was great! cant wait till next ep :-3 and btw, the two main characters are too perfect for each other! >: D hah! at first when i watched the ep without sub and didn't understand anything, i thought that Tachibana had a traumatic childhood with cake XD leik: oh noes! not cake! that's just horrible! give a kid cake?!? wtf have happend to the world D:? i have to stop watching ep without sub...i make stupid things up <.< |
 You're the monkey I got on my back, That tells me to shine |
| It's strange that the character animation is almost like "moving manga" and yet... the backgrounds are CGI? This show is absurdly gay. I hope people don't rate it down because they watched it and had no idea how gay it was. Frankly, I like the character designs in this much more than in Junjou Romantica (which was actually so weird it was disturbing) so I will definitely keep watching this. Simply because magic gayness must be observed for future study. Also, needs moar cake and less detached retina. |
| This is my first trip back into the world of shonen-ai since I gave up Descendants of Darkness 2 years ago, so I'm still familiar with how these kinds of anime work. Heck, I even have some RL friends who like yaoi. I thought this was a good way to start the series. Sure it was gay, but it didn't have enough gay to turn me off. The WTF expressions are priceless and I hope to see more of them later on. I'd also like to see more sweets. This is Antique BAKERY, right? I also really like the soundtrack and the voice acting is good as well. I really like Miki Shinichiro as Yusuke Ono. He was able to sound gay without making it too obvious. I was expecting more from the animation, but at least it's not Vampire Knight. The OP and ED sequences were unique and entertaining, though. Overall, I'll still watch this series to see what direction the story takes. 4/5 |
 |
| You know, most of you people can avoid watching something you don't like by reading what it's about BEFORE watching? Shouldn't be that hard. Anyway, watched it, loved it, want to see the next episode. I liked the funny and the serious sides of it. |
 |
| I think I can handle one episode of Antique Bakery a week. Art wasn't really good all the time, but there were some interesting parts. Like the shot from the red car to the antique shop. A little too gay for my taste, but willing to give it a try. One episode a week won't kill me. |
 "Krijg toch allemaal de klere. Val van mijn part allemaal dood." |
| to be honest, rather boring for now. i hope some kind of plot line emerges soon and it's not going to be just about gay men being gay ^^; i have nothing against it and i love shonen-ai, but it doesn't seem to have anything -else-. we'll see how it goes in next episode. |
| Huh, oh? I can't watch that, no way ! |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| It was interesting. Too much gay and not enough bakery, like TheWestExit said. I'll give it a few more episodes to see where it goes because I love shoujo and slice of life series and I like the animation so far. |
     |
| it was~ hilarious, can't say anything else xD like, i totally loled at part with boxer-boy and his 'no, coach, i don't want to quit boxing! i don't! ... aaah, this cake is amazing~~ but i don't want to quit, nooo!' xD and gay demonic charm, well xD the animation kind of sucks. the background is all 3D but charas look like they're drawn with crayons or something. no good. on the other hand, i love seiyuus. and the whole thing is really funny. so i'll probably still watch it. *needs her weekly dose of gay-anime* |
| lets all go to shinjuku-ni choume together! >_< Bishounen isnt my kind of genre at all but it has food :( im a sucker for food. And the animation reminds me of bartender. |

  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| I didn't like the art that much... and I've never read the manga ^^" But I'm looking forward to a good story... that black cake thing was quite... interesting o___o |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| What the hell am I watching... |
 |
| A well-balanced shounen ai series? What, such thing exists?! Really liked it, even though the animation is atrocious. "Yu-chan" is so very amusing, and those little chibis? Oh my God, priceless. Liked this way more than I thought I would! I just wish they wouldn't ruin it with the ridiculous amount of CGI. What the hell, this type of series didn't need to have so much. Why do people watch something without really checking what it is, is something I really wonder. You're kind of asking for it, and I don't feel bad for the amount of gay you had to watch. |
| i was all in serious mode while watching this, cause i figured itd be a serious anime. i was quite happy to fnd that it had comedy mixed in too. :) |
     |
| Mix between 2D and 3D is rather interesting. Ono is kinda good looking with his uniform. Will continue the story. |
| OMG...I so want some cake now! LOL!! I love the 3D elements included with the animation. |
 |
| 4 out of 5. I love bakeries and the concept sounds interesting. And I'm all, "Gay guys? In a bakery?! MUST WAAATCH." True, I'm not crazy about the art style and the animation is pretty buggy, but I'll keep watching in spite of that. Besides, the music for the intro and credits makes me smile. :) |
| LOLOLOL. That made me giggle throughout the whole thing - hilariously awkward! Especially since I recognize Tachibana has Hughe's voice. XD Opening is great, except the autotune hurts my ears. A shame since I love the lyrics and beat. I'm going to seriously hate the 3D animation though, I just know it. Going to read the manga afterwards. |

| I kinda like the art style... I hope it doesn't get too gay... |
| Well I didn't see that this was shounen-ai, I'm not a fan of the genre at all and I thought this would be something like Ristorante Paradiso but well I sure was wrong about that... Well no stopping now I'll have to speed watch this. |
 |
| Well, that was quite good. Not sure about the animation, it's odd especially with the 2D and 3D ... hmmm. Not sure if I like it or not. It's different I guess. I also feel like I want cake now lol. |
 |
| Well, that was one of the more creative openings I've seen in recent times. I also enjoy how forward and honest this show is, rather than dancing around the subject of shounen ai. I'm liking it so far. |
| Pretty funny concept, quite like the characters and I wonder where it goes, so successful first episode. |
