I question the quality of an anime about Bartenders but it can’t possibly be worse than Pokemon, right?

For what i (didn’t) understand from the official site, maybe Bartender will be some kind of “Yakitate Japan” with a barman instead…

Hehe, kinda fun trying to guess what an anime will be about when we only have the name and an image XD.

Kekkaishi is pretty mediocre of a shounen, but it does have it’s good points. Knowing Sunrise, they’d probably improve the best points of it though. One of the good things Sunrise does with mediocrism in shounen is that they know how to capture what makes the shounen good, evident with Y.Japan and Gintama. Kekkaishi will probably become Gintama #2. Good show overall, but nothing outstanding to capture the heart of the audiences blinded by the hype of the AMAZING shows.

I think Idol and Rainbow will flop. Gut instinct. Rarely failed me.

Bartender will probably be the kind of show where the main characters says “I’ve seen my share of people working as a bartender here. From my experience, blah blah blah”. The kind where one-night-stand human relations between a customer and a provider is explored in a methodical manner. Hopefully it’ll be decent, but I DEMAND GOOD CLASSICAL MUSIC. AND REALISTIC BARTENDING SKILLS. Make me proud.

Kekkaishi came from shonen manga so expect lots of action scene.

It ’s currenty my favorite manga , so I will watch its adaptation but don’t have any high hope though…

Bartender, at first glace, looks simplisticly cool, for lack of a better way to describe it. I look forward to episode 1, if only to see what it is.

>>In Da Capo it was the Eternal Sakura Blossoming. There’s also a “sister-in-law�? relationship

Even the bishoujo (far right) in the Gift poster reminds me of Nemu… I’m sooo gonna catch the series. XD

I’m definitely watching the first episode of Bartender, if only to find out what sort of anime it is. The animation looks decent too.

Is it…

a) Bartender is an undercover secret agent

b) A slice of life anime

c) The drunk version of Iron Chef

d) Bartender is actually God in disguise

I hope it is b).
