Shiawase no Pan 1&2


What's the best way to adapt an RPG to anime? Why, make it into a breadshop slice of life series of course! And that's what you have here with this feel-good adaptation of the Shining Hearts game.





Happy people in a happy town with a happy bakery making happy bread. That's about the gist of the intro into the story thus far. There is a hint of something more involved (Rick and some mystery girl both have washed up on shore from somewhere, and then there's the relationship with the nearby elves), but that hasn't pushed its way into the picture thus far. And so far its super moe and happy go lucky.





The downside to the series is that it is pure fluff. So its like any other anime fluff and thus can be seen as interchangable in terms of watchability and "impact". The major plus of the series is that it is a G-rated show with Tony Taka art. Tony Taka draws super cute characters, but the problem is that he usually has them doing NSFW things. This show is about as SFW as it gets.



Pretty niche filler content. Good art. Makes me miss Japanese/Taiwanese bakeries.
