This is a very funny show that I enjoyed very much. It's one of my favourite anime and I didn't see a thread for it so I thought I'd make one.

I love this series too! The way they get so into making bread, and the concoctions they make are just hilarious. I also thought it was classic when that samurai guy (forget his name) made a green turtle bread for the racers and lost, mostly because a racer wouldnt want to eat a bread that looks like something so slow.

I still havent finished watching this anime, but I heard it goes downhill a little towards the end. Its still one of the best comedies out there.

I thought this was a nice, and funny anime/manga. I'm only on episode 28 of the anime. It makes me hungry for bread everytime I watch it XD

I'd recently finished this anime, it always got me hungry watching the characters make so many varieties of bread :redbiggri Loved it from beginning to the middle but got bored later since it felt too stretched with 69 eps @_@;

I love Pantasia's manager - the dude with the afro, Ken was his name (I think) - and Kawachi, mwahaha, he's such an idiot! <3

One thing that never failed to crack me up were those little parts where when the cast would discuss certain incidents/scenery, that Brad Pitt lookalike, named Kid, would always pop in to take on character roles :Haha

Overall I found it to be a very entertaining anime <3

Thank you <3

I watched the first episode like, a gazillion years ago so I only need to watch 68 episodes :lol

I will watch it after I finish two other animes I am currently watching

It's a decent series except it's a little long and then at the end, there was no conclusion. I think the manga is still running so that may be the case...

The Afro guy cracks me up a lot, he's awesome.

[konakona]

I liked the manga moreso then the anime, the VA's and animation didnt really do it justice imo. Nevertheless, twas awesome and I loooooooooove it.

[Neko Rae]

that means I have to watch it then. Hooray for anime about food! We need an anime about making pizza now

[Kenta]

Samurai Pizza Cats? xD

[Neko Rae]

I'm almost done with this long anime! : D

It had some pretty funny parts :)

But I still think it's too long. 4 more episodes to go~
