Antique Bakery...
I picked up Antique Bakery recently...
I'm a bit underwhelmed by the series. Basically, it's a slice-of-life drama about the lives of four young men who work at a bakery. Right Stuf is generally noted for bringing obscure titles to the U.S. that might not otherwise be given an opportunity for domestic release. Sometimes their releases are really entertaining like Leda: Fantastic Adventures Of Yohko or Irresponsible Captain Tylor and sometimes their titles are not so entertaining such as Ai City, Godmars and Towards The Terra. But, generally speaking Right Stuf releases don't usually lie in the middle of the road -- they generally reside in one extreme or the other. Of course, I did my homework and I expected something of this sort, but, I just couldn't stay away. I would give Antique Bakery a 1 out of 5.
In food and in life, one must taste what is bitter to appreciate what is sweet...
Troubled by memories of the past that continue to invade his dreams of the present, Keiichiro Tachibana stuns everyone who knows him by abruptly quitting his ordinary office job to open a bakery. He envisions a predominantly feminine clientele and a wait staff of cute girls - but instead, his employees include a playboy patissier who's been fired from every job he's ever had, an ex-boxer with an insatiable sweet tooth, and an absent-minded childhood friend and old family servant. Can this unlikely quartet overcome personal tragedies, learn to work together, and discover a recipe for culinary success?
