Crube Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 This anime, which belongs in the Business Jump manga/anime section, premiered yesterday (October 14th) and I was wondering if anyone else has heard of it. I don't have that much information on hand, but here is the trailer. The story follows a genius bartender that has won a championship in a worldwide contest in the past and decides to work for a hotel bar. In addition, the patrons who frequent the bar tell the Bartender various stories about their life. The manga, by Araki Jo and Kenji Nagatomo, began in 2004. Five tankabon volumes are currently on the market. Main characters Sasakura Ryuu (V.A.: Mizushima Takahiro) A young bartender who is in charge of the bar "Edenholl" in Ginza. The cocktails he makes are called "God's Glass." Past winner of an international competition, his skills are unmatched, although his secrets remain a mystery. Kurushima Miwa (V.A.: Fujimura Ayumi) Granddaughter of Kurushima Taizou, chairman of the Hotel Cardinal group. She is in charge of the hotel's bar section. As a frequnter to Edenholl, she is a confidant to Ryuu. Series Composition: Yasuhiro Imagawa. Screenplay: Yasuhiro Imagawa. ANN credits Yasuhiro for the following... Aura Battler Dunbine (TV) : Producer Bartender (TV) : Series Composition, Screenplay Berserk (TV) : Script Chance! Pop Sessions (TV) : Planning Giant Robo (OAV) : Director, Screenplay, Story Concept Gin Rei (OAV) : Director, Screenplay Hareluya II Boy (TV) : Script Mister Ajikko (TV) : Series director, Storyboard Mobile Fighter G Gundam (TV) : Chief Director Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (TV) : Storyboard, Unit Director Pet Shop of Horrors (TV) : Screenplay Sentou Mecha Xabungle (TV) : Episode Director Seven of Seven (manga) : Story Seven of Seven (TV) : Director, Scenario, Story, Animation (ED), Serial Composition Souten no Ken (TV) : Script Tetsujin 28th (TV) : Director, Series Composition, Unit Director (ED) Violinist of Hamelin (TV) : Script Virgin Fleet (OAV) : Screenplay, Original creator This alone should make it a "must watch" series of the fall season.

TeleportSandwich Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 This show is pure atmosphere (like a good slice of life show should be). I usually dislike episodic series that aren't comedies, but I think I'll stick around and watch this one. Also, it'll probably turn me into an alcaholic :3 Link to comment
Crube Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 It has a nice, adult feel to it. Link to comment
Crube Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 New avatar!!! That is the most sexiest avatar you have ever had! But yeah, this series is aimed towards the more mature audiences. And I like it a lot. :crube: Link to comment
Samurai Drifter Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 The bartender looks like a younger Saito Hajime. Maybe it's the hair. Link to comment
TeleportSandwich Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 The bartender looks like a younger Saito Hajime. Maybe it's the hair. He looks like an older version of Azuma Kazuma from Yakitate Japan to me. Link to comment
Crube Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 He looks like an older version of Azuma Kazuma from Yakitate Japan to me. Really? He looks more like Lancer from Fate Stay/Night with his hair dyed black to me. Link to comment

No Sad Endings Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Uuh... gee... didn't figure there'd be so much fuss over a show of this sort. Guess I'll have to give it a watch? Link to comment

Gundampilotspaz Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 It was very.... interesting. Link to comment
Akito Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 To be perfectly honest, I don't think there is anything out there that I find less interesting than the topic of alcoholic drinks. Seriously, when I'm at work, I think it's pure torture to have to listen to my co-workers (some of whom are like, 16) talk about the kinds of drinks they've tried and which ones they like or don't like. So with that considered, I must admit that I wasn't terribly entertained by the first episode of this show. I guess it's just not intended for people like me. Link to comment
LinkOcarinaMan Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 STFU Akito, damn you are such a loser, go kill yourself in the middle of the street. Shoot youself in the head and then get hit by a car. Maybe at the same time. In other words.....become an hero. Anyway Lunar has started subbing this show so we will most likely see beyond episode 1 now!!! Link to comment
