Yumeiro Patissiere (Dream-Colored Patissiere) is a super-cute show about Amano Ichigo, a girl we can all relate to - she can't do much except for eating sweets. She is loosely based on the main heroine stereotype - cute and clumsy - but is willing to work hard, thus gaining a Sweets Spirit. A Sweets Spirit is like a Shugo Chara - it is a fairy from the Sweets Kingdom that was sent down to look for a partner in the human world. Sweets Spirits are expected to help their human partners in pursuing the Patissiere dream. If they do well, thy may become the Patissiere of the Sweets Kingdom.
What I liked about this show was that it was semi-original, and the main character was easy to relate to. A girl that can't help loving sweets - but Ichigo isn't just any girl. She has special taste buds, possibly inherited from her grandmother, that help her taste Patissiers's feelings. A man named Henri realizes Ichigo's potential after she tries some of his cake, and invites her to attend St. Mary, a school for Patissieres and Patissiers. Reminded of her grandmother, who pursued this career and made her happy with her cake, Ichigo agrees. Her first days are rough, filled with jealousy, happiness, disappointment, resentment, and awe. She becomes a Sweet Spirit's partner, and learns that she can make edible pastries. Ichigo may have taste buds, but she doesn't have patissiere skills - yet.
The first season of Yumeiro Patissiere was just your typical shoujo. But shoujo is remarkably scarce in today's anime, so I was pretty pleased. The characters had enough depth, they weren't acting like foolchildren, I wasn't about to stab anyone for being a retard. I LIKED THE SHOW.
Actually, the basic concept of the second season was entertaining as hell. Opening stores and actually getting business sense was like yeah, I wanted to see that. What the hell happened here?
Oh yeah.
Johnny.
I mean I think I'd be used to stereotyped Americans in anime. I love America from APH. But Johnny just really irked my soul. "OH YAH. BAYBAYYY."
....no.
The second season made me go like. WHY WTF NO. WHY'D YOU HAVE TO RUIN A PERFECTLY GOOD SHOW BY DROPPING THIS IGNORANT DOUCHEBAG IN. HE'S NOT EVEN ENTERTAINING AND HOLD ME BACK BEFORE I SMACK A BIOTCH.
Even for Japanese schoolgirls that have no idea of how Americans actually think and act, I think that Johnny's character is unlikeable. He can't form a single thought without badly referencing some retarded "cowboy" or the "US BAYBAAAY."
I'm sorry, that just really blew the show. I didn't finish the second season, I didn't even get halfway through. Dragging this on to make money was um. A pretty bad idea.
