So has anyone watched it ?
I've read the manga and I enjoy it but not enough to want to read it again... so I wan't that interested in the anime since I would already know the plot... even if it didn't stop me from watchig Hikago even if I already knew most of the conversations since I've read at least twice every chapter... in the other hand I disliked the Naruto anime even if I don't mind reading it again.
But since some of my acquaintances like Yakitate, I've watched the 1st ep. It was quite ok. I like when they say it was a serious biography... and I'm actually look forward the 2nd ep.
The art is quite faithful to the manga even if if I've thougth that the hero's hair would be darker... well the opening has too many spoilers too and the music doesn't seem to match the images but it must be a humourous thing.
