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 into boxing (just like Eiji) and his girlfriend. Nothing special, really.

Now, episode 03, on the other hand…

Oh my god, what the heck happened here? Two old guys dancing happily in the rain? Seriously, NOT EVEN JUNJOU ROMANTICA WAS THIS GAY. I don’t know what everybody else thinks, but watching this was much worse than seeing Usami having non-stop buttsecks with Misaki. I feel bad for the guys who sat through this thinking there wouldn’t be that much gayness after the first episode.

Luckily, the rest of the episode was more entertaining than what we got on the second one. Chikage was such an amusing character to watch. He looks all GAR and stuff wearing those sunglasses, but the truth is that he’s not really that manly and instead he’s actually pretty clumsy. He joins the Antique store as a waiter, but I doubt he’ll be of that much help.

Anyways, I dunno what the next episode is gonna be about, but hopefully it’ll be something that won’t make me refrain from posting a proper summary. *sigh*

…where you wouldn’t find any buttsecks, and stuff like the scene above was the most explicit they could ever get.

Initial reaction: I SAW IT, I SAW CAKE FANSERVICE

Also known as… Seiyou Kottou Yougashiten

Okay, before anything else, here are some brief character introductions for the main guys of the show: First, we have Keiichirou Tachibana, who’s the owner of the Antique Bakery and who also seems to possess some kind of childhood trauma involving… a kidnapper who had a thing for sweet cakes, oh boy. Then, there’s Yusuke Ono, the famous gay of demonic charms. He refers to himself like that because he claims he has the ability to make any kind of guy fall in love with him instantly, but it looks like it doesn’t work with Tachibana since he like got rejected by him when they were on high school. And, finally, we have Eiji Kanda, a retired boxer… who only appeared for a few minutes in the whole episode talking with his old coach.

Oh and, well, there’s also Chikage Kobayakawa, who I think is the guy with sunglasses who showed up at the beginning of the episode… but I guess I won’t talk about him until he’s properly introduced in the series.

So, anyways, I don’t know if it’s because I’m just too used at seeing hardcore yaoi, but this episode turned out to be quite unexpectedly boring. Also, the weird serious business scenes and the creepy BGMs they used for these didn’t really help to make it any more enjoyable. Hopefully, when all the guys start working on the cake shop, things will get much more interesting. Until then, here’s the promised cake porn scene:

Wait, nooooooo~

Keep blogging? Probably.
