Anyone here seen Yakitate?

Heard from a friend it was light fun but I wanted to get some other opinions first

No idea about the actual manga, but I just had to. I had to.

I've seen the first 29 eps, based on Zues's recco, and i like it. It is well drawn and pretty funny. It is almost interesting to see what the heck kind of story lines they can think of for something as crazy as bread! The writer obviously has vast knowledge of the subject and never ceases to amaze me with the different methods and kinds he uses for the battles.

The outrageous reactions are golden. It gets funnier when they start to fear the reactions and poke fun at themselves.

Like any anime, though, most of the story line action seems to be tournaments... kind of getting tired of tournament anime.

It does get a little dull, but considering it's a parody anime, I'm a little more tolerant of it.

The reactions get even crazier as you go along and the parodies even better/weirder
