BREAD

The end of the anime is now in sight, as the raw for ep. 69 was released a few days ago labeled as the end. Granted that means we still have about 13 episodes left to go before it's all translated, but it's still sad to know that it's finally over. The recent episodes with Takitate Gohan and Super Kuroyan are my favorite reactions yet, so at least they're ending the show before it grows stale.

Probably not likely, but it's a testament as to how cool this series goes when it comes to making bread.

Does anyone know if the writers do some sort of research on breadmaking by consulting with real chefs or if they just come up with this kind of stuff on the fly?

I seem to remember reading an interview with either the director or the artist in Newtype a long time ago, and they said that actual bakers were consulted at times to find different techniques. A friend of mine tried baking a variation of the melon bread Azuma used in the Pantasia tournament, and aside from being a bit sticky it turned out really good.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
