seichanBeing one who doesn't drink much, I still find Bartender fun to watch.
Bartender 2! This is definitely a show that doesn't have much action or drama. It's more of an educational show with a sappy story of the day. The female from the first episode asks Ryuu, the bartender, to figure out the menu of the heart...or something like that; actually the drink her father wanted to give his estranged father. This part of the episode is the sappy and slightly boring part. The educational part includes the following info:
The No.1 cocktail chosen by men is the Gin-Tonic (I'm fond of that, too)
The No.1 cocktail chosen by women is the Spumoni.
Bars have no menu.
Torii Shinjirou tried to create a whiskey for the Japanese people.
The show even goes through some of the ways whiskey is served.
The episode gives you the recipe for a Nikolaschka which includes brandy, sugar and a lemon slice. The ending visuals shows the live-action bartender making this drink.
Once again anime is able to present food/drink in an educational, but unique manner. There were other little tidbits of fun info and the bartender is still darn cute..so I'll keep amusing myself with this anime. I guess comedy or action would have been inappropriate with the topic of alcohol...darn.
Negima? 4! With each episode I watch, a few brain cells die...and there's no alcohol involved. In this episode two creatures from the magical realm come to inform Negi and the others that the Star Crystal of a-whole-lotta-power was stolen. Negi investigates. A contract with Nodoka is made. Negi is such a playa. This storyline is told like an RPG; visual fun for all. There's a new ending and a new ending short about the Chupacapura. *cute*
For Ayakashi Ayashi and Bakumatsu episodes 3, I won't be reviewing since these were just plot builders. Both the shows are still decent, but slow. I'll mention them again when they start moving.
