Are you referring to the review, Padric, or to the fact that some of us reviewers don’t care for gratuitous fan service?

“And third, your mother was right: never eat dessert first.”

An excellent point. I think I had underestimated the off-putting power of that intro extra.

Holy cow, apparently 4 volumes of the manga made at least 13 episodes of anime! I’ve only watched the series up to episode 40 something (a 70 episode show), but I enjoyed it.

I always end up going to Panya or Jasmart more often when watching Yakitate, though.

The amazing thing about going to Japan was discovering that Iron Chef is just one of hundreds of very mainstream primetime TV shows about food. Yakitate seems like an outrageous topic for manga or anime in the States, but for Japan, it’s pretty normal to be so food-obsessed.
