Not even in my wildest imagination could I ever imagine that an anime about bread could be so incredibly good. The concept for me just screams fail, but it's executed so perfectly well you can't help but love it.
It's a masterpiece, but it has its flaws. The animation isn't exactly top notch, the music could have been better, but the endings and openings are always solid and makes up a bit for it.
It's packed with interesting characters from the main characters to the bread judges. Especially Kuroyanagi stands out with some outstanding and hilarious reactions which is a big part of making Yakitate as

great as it is. Near the end of the series some characters become a bit too predictable and uninteresting and drags a bit down on the judgment.
Still the best part of Yakitate is it's enjoyment, there's not a single bad episode and the comedy is top class. You could also say it's educational, as you learn a bit about the different bread sorts, how they are made, where they come from, what the name origins from and such. As well I found it inspiring and it made me actually want to bake, and even try to mimic some of the simpler breads made in the series.
Parts of the series near the end does seem a bit rushed, and you get the feeling you've seen it happen over and over and some of the characters you got the feeling didn't have the right development, or just took a wrong turn and turned into worse.
Nevertheless, if you watch Yakitate!! Japan and you enjoy a good comedy, and even if you don't like to bake you're most likely gonna enjoy it after all.
