Conclusion:
First off I may add that this show is as shoujo as it can get. Bubbles, colours and flowers everywhere. Yay !!!
My first impression after 2-3 episodes was: „Wow this is truly great. It feels different and I like the characters a lot!“
What started out as a simple yet charming and heartwarming love story caught my interest pretty damn fast and gave me fluttery feelings, aswell as happiness and a good dose of laughter. But beware.
You may get the impression that this is something else, however after many episodes you will notice how generic and cliche it really is. It´s in no regard something special.
Since this series is on the longer end the simplicity and plainness got to much for me. I like slice of life, but I have to admit that it became a little bit boring and repetitiv. What´s lacking is more depth in our characters as well as some good developement.
I understand, that´s not what this anime is trying to be. Here I would advice the viewer to take it bite by bite like a delicious pastry from a famous cook. You wouldn´t swallow that in one take right? That´s probably the approach we have to take in this anime, to counter the simplicity and to enjoy the positive aspects of the show to their fullest potential. These aspects like charm and humour make it great. It´s a very positive vibe throughout the show.
Furthermore I really wish we would have seen more development in the romantic relationship. They are so head over heels right from the start, yet too pure and innocent. A few more kisses and hugs here and there wouldn´t have hurt anyone. That`s the spirit.
Alright Kokosnuss, enough stories about pastries and famous cooks. Tell me who is it for?
Well I´d say for...
+ Shoujo lovers
+ Romance lovers
+ If you got bored from standard romance shit
+ If you prefer seeing a harmonic couple rather than some ntr, forced drama and unrequited love BS
+ If you like pastries
+ If you are ready for our bear like, 2 meters tall, fat lipped, deep voiced male mc and his cute, little, doll like, pastry baking, charming girlfriend
And not so much...
- if you can´t take the huge amount of sweetnes (if you already have diabetes take care, you might not surive)
-If you wish for a more demanding story
(yes this one is sweet, but it could be too boring for some)
- if you dislike bear or gorilla like male mc´s and prefer the slender female looking, glass wearing, pale and whiney ass generic one that the anime gods have cursed us with.
(God bless, we truly live in dark ages nowadays)
