The episode begins in the home of a female writer as she types up a story; for comedy’s sake, we shall pretend she is a food critic. (Woman: The meal was absolutely awful.

Or maybe that’s because it featured Chi-chan and his illegitimate nine year old daughter with a height and body that shouldn’t belong to someone her age. Yeah, that’s probably the main reason. Any episode featuring [...]

When they finally did a shot that consisted entirely of girls, I knew, deep in my misandrist heart, that it was time to make an Antique Bakery post. So I picked up Antique Bakery when it started airing, because I’d promised myself that I’d watch it, out of both a sense of duty and fairness (if [...]

Bringing your weekly dose of cake pr0n, as coined by issa-sa. However, I can’t say much on the ratio of the focus of each episode: cake or shounen-ai. Either way, it doesn’t disappoint me.

Flavor: Mild Honestly, I wasn’t really enthusiastic about blogging episode 02. It was quite boring and the animation was just horrible. It was pretty much filler anyways, with Eiji joining the Antique Bakery staff being the only relevant thing that happened in the entire episode.  The rest was just some side-story about a guy who’s also [...]

Once again, there isn’t much to blog upon. However, having enjoyed this episode the most, I feel obligated to write something about it. Despite the absence of 2-D cakes to look at, the pudding at the end and the hilariousness of this episode made it more enjoyable to watch. (I used to eat those, they’re great.) What [...]
