Nanyate? Freshly Baked! Japan

Yakitate! Japan's (Freshly Baked! Japan) story focuses on Kazuma Azuma and his goal to create JA-PAN, a national bread for Japan itself. Starting to bake at the age of 6, he had created various breads using his legendary Solar Hands, hands having a warmer temperature than of normal hands allowing dough to ferment faster. Aside from his passion in baking, he has the ability to combine different ingredients through instincts and other people's experiences yet still creates delicious breads. He is also a math wizard (exaggerated mathematician. lol) and a very kind-hearted person (as most protagonists are).

Although baking is the main theme of the anime, outrageous puns and very funny reactions made by anybody who tastes breads are also other interests in the story. Very funny indeed.

Strengths:

1. Live demonstration of some of their bread creations. I think they have demonstrated twice. And I was amazed that a bread can be baked in a rice cooker. hahaha applause applause.

2. I believe this story took a lot of research work. Todo! Not only on the different dishes/ingredients compatible to breads, the different tastes depending on the country (especially Japan and France), but also the tactics to be used in creating the breads.

3. The winner connection of the reactions (pun) to the breads. Ang hirap iexplain because all of their reactions are in Japanese of course. Basta, they just connect. Naimagine ko nga how were they done on the Tagalized version. Wirdo kung japanese terms talaga ang ginamit sa Philippine TV.

4. The incorporation of other shows on the story. Sobrang winner. I'll never forget the parody of Naruto, Dragonball Z and Detective Conan. Even Lord of the Rings ginamit hahaha. Bangis nakakatawa talaga! ;))

Weaknesses:

Hehe pass. :P

As a whole, the story is awesome. You'll really appreciate breads after watching it. Nakakawili, nakakabilib, at nakakatawa talaga! subra! worth watching as in
