Bartender
Thursday, March 03, 2011
I went to Japan for my Chinese New Year holidays. They happened to be promoting a new drama called Bartender. Yup, it is the drama version of the anime. I also happened to catch the first episode of the drama. It is a different take on the anime, but keeping the same concept. Okay i should be going back to the anime.Bartender the anime is, as you can guess is about a bartender called Sasakura Ryu who works in Eden Hall in the Ginza district. He is a bartender prodigy who can make the 'Glass of the Gods'. Although he is a genius bartender, he has made one mistake in his bartending career. Sasakura Ryu meet people who comes into the bar with their problems searching for the 'Menu of their Hearts'. With his deep knowledge in the cocktails served, he helps solve their problems.
While Sasakura Ryu is the main character, there is a character that i would consider too large to be a side character but too small to be a main character. Her name is Kurushima Miwa. She came to Eden Hall to find the name of a spirit which she broke. After that, she appears as a side character in the other episodes.
If you ask me, this anime was pretty average for me. My interest was mainly sustained by my interest in cocktails. (Even though i am still underaged haha, i'll be legal to drink by the end of this month though =w=) At the end of every episode, they would show a featured spirit
The story in each episode comes from everyday happenings, so don't expect sudden surprises or anything fantasy. Its really for those with an interest in spirits and time to kill.
