Kogepan is the badass of the bakery. His life began as any other bread, filled with hope of being nestled in a paper bag in the hands of a customer, but that dream ended when he fell to the bottom of the oven and burned. Cast aside by the baker, he spends his days drinking with his friend Kuriimupan and resenting the other breads that live his lost dream. Some of the cute little Kireipan are drawn to his brooding personality, but Kogepan knows that their time together is brief. He is a stern and sometimes frightening teacher.
Caution to sensitive viewers: There is one
...
questionable scene where Kogepan gets the strawberry bread, Ichigopan (so hot! but I swear I am not a panofile) wasted on milk. When she keels over backwards, Kogepan wonders to himself "What should I do"? The question goes unanswered, but in the following scene, Ichigopan glows with bliss. We can only imagine.
Story: 7 - Elements of tragedy, romance, friendship, and the culinary arts. Some arcs remain unresolved (does Sumipan find love?), but not bad for 40 minutes.
Art: - 7 - Some will call it minimalist. Some will call it lazy. I like the way the lines wiggle.
Sound: 8 - Nice bouncy tunes that make you want to eat bread.
Characters: 8 - About as thorough as most full length anime series. It's amazing what can fit in a 5 minute episode without fight scenes or philosophical monologues.
Enjoyment 9 - Probably would have been a 10 if I had another cup of sake.
