The episodes that were canon were pretty amazing. It really had great production valued, overall good characters designs, and friendship, and pretty good music. The original ending was good, really hope it gets a second season.

Now or Never sounds good, I think OP1 had the better animation but both are definitely good.

Darn, Renzo looks better in the anime, they could have cast someone else. Otherwise I could see that one as Rin and the other as Yukio.
Yeah. The second season will air in October.

The action is still subpar, but the series continues being fun nonetheless.
The OP's song is great, but the lyrics... Ugh. Some of the worst Engrish I've ever heard. Why do they do stuff like this? The Italian in the episode was actually solid, though.

Well, after having listened to the new OP, it isn't bad, but I liked the first one more.

They come from every corner of the world to get a piece of Kaito, dude is like a pimp. This... betrayal arc? I'm positive I could hate it. I don't want another
Gammon betrayal
The only other case I can think of is the original (well, technically second) Yugioh series completely skipping the first seven volumes or so of the manga right from the getgo.

The end of the episode managed to annoy me, because that type of end wasn't satisfying at all. No explanation

from Chieno to Jikugawa, just a I don't know why I did it, which feels like a lame sidestepping to me.
the punch stopped to that asshole, who deserved it after all the crap he and his group spewed and the stunt they pulled. That punch should have connected.

You watch NTR, don't you? >:|
Sorry, you'll have to look elsewhere for Light-NTR club members.
Hey, the first two are totally right, though I swing back and forth between the specific order in which they rank. I totally use my Ritsuko keyring instead of my Kotori one, though, if that counts for anything.
Speaking of iM@S, I notice Columbia have wasted no time in announcing the first character from the second series of iM@S Cinderella Girls CDs. I kind of just wish they'd hurry up and announce what the request/cover song for the upcoming Namasuka CD is already instead.

This is a K-On show AnimeGAF would actually watch though. >_>;

I don't know if this was happening in previous episodes but I just noticed there was a lot of use of scenes where flowers pop out of nowhere on the screen. Must be a symptom of being adapted from a josei manga.
Arata, my man what happened to you? You used to be so cool and awesome.

Perorin-Pororin is actually pretty funny and addicting to say in that episode.

As awesome as Yakitate! Japan is, it isn't a battle series. There are no physical fights, just a lot of screaming and mind games while people eat bread.
Since when does 'battle' have to mean a physical fight? Have you never seen kitchen stadium? Not every battle is about prophylactic pirates.

It's fun shonen stuff. It doesn't break new ground, but it doesn't make you hate yourself for watching it.
So very stylish. At the very least, they don't look terrible.
Everybody likes Ricks bread. Is Rick in Yakitate!! Japan? I think not.
Crash Station

Because in this case, battle=fights. If it's going to be as loosely defined as you say, then pretty much everything with any kind of verbal or mental back and forth is a battle series.
Yakitate! Japan is merely a series of judged competitions. If they were throwing special types of bread at each other or shot laser beams out of them, it might count. Even with an unconvential medium, if it were to follow the general tropes, it could be considered a battle series. For example, if Kemeko DX's premise was more in line with this pillow fight scene rather than it being a 1-off gag, it would be considered a battle series. However, that is not the case with Yakitate.

Well, certain anime have jumped into the middle of manga (Wandering Son) but to start at the beginning and then excel that fast...it's probably one of the few.

What the hell, there hasn't been 1 pedo joke this season!

So the mangaka and the editors were completely wrong to use the term 'battle' for all the 'bread battles' in the series?
Crash Station

They're using battle by its general term rather than its genre term. Confusing, I know.

Yay, one of my favorite chapters of the manga get animated. Regardless of how annoying Skuld sometimes get, I really do like the chapter where she falls for someone not named Keiichi, and the anime did it really well.
Oh you, tsundere Skuld.

Bread is just a phallic symbol of our sexist society
No Shura? I leave dejected.
And Shiemi sucks too. What a tragedy.

Probably. It doesn't really count since it was a sequel, but Inuyasha: The Final Act was just as bad. They ran through about 20 volumes in a 26 episode series.
I personally thought that Final Act benefited from the increased pacing. The series did a good job of still giving due time to the important plot points, and ultimately only the storylines that could have been spun off into entire self-contained episodes were the ones that were relegated to short sequences or eliminated entirely. I'm probably the only person in the thread that liked the episodic nature and slow pacing of the original series, but the new series was undeniably an easier watch.

Yep, this is my favorite arc of this series possibly. Noble Scarlet is just adorable and what happens at the end is just touching.
It's not fair.
Should've been Kaimu.
Apparently.
I'm glad I took the time to watch it.
I just wished the ending was more fulfilling.
Now I need to decide which show to watch next.
Not all fights have to be physicals. Sometimes you just need a battle of wits to bring out the yeast in you.
I really can't counter this point. I've been checkmated.

We do not focus on superficial concepts such as sexism here in the village.
We are all brothers and sisters caressed in Rick's strong bread kneading hands.

I just felt like it was way too much of a rush job (although I haven't gotten around to watching all of it). The Inuyasha manga could certainly drag on at points, but Final Act rushed through so much stuff that the emotional impact was lost for a lot of it. A 52 episode series would have allowed them to move at a better pace, while still speeding up some of the duller points in the manga.

So fun story of splitting Urd's demonic and goddess sides and they duke it out. This is a good set up for the upcoming episodes based on the previews.
Seeing two Urd's isn't exactly new anymore.

Yakitate! Japan is amazing for the reactions people get when they taste the bread creations.
It doesn't even need fights to be great.

Enters Hild! Not a bad episode, with focus on Urd and her demonic side. The singing part was nicely done and the relationship between Hild and Urd is pretty nice.

Enters loli Hild! Uh yeah, I was easily amused when character after character kept entering the house and get suck into the teapot of doom.

I don't understand what's going on.
That was straight out of Death Note, though. There was even an "all according to keikaku" moment.

Tenth said "Fourth" out loud through the radio before he shot him in the head. Why doesn't Yukki know he was the one who killed him?

And they really sang it! In a running montage no less. Isn't that like... copyright infringement?
Isn´t Hayate also animated by Gainax?
