• Shining Hearts Episode 1

Synopsis One day, a mysterious girl named Kaguya was washed ashore the island of Wyndaria after a great storm. She encounters Rick, a swordsman who wound up working at the island's bakery.

Apparently, Kaguya is suffering from having lost her memories and emotions. In addition, the usually peaceful Wyndaria is now swarming with pirates who came seeking for the special spirit stone that is worn around Kaguya's neck. Knowing the situation, Rick and his co-workers, Nellis, Amyl, and Aerie decided to bring back peace to island and help Kaguya regain her lost memories and emotions. (Source: Wikipedia). Overall 5 Story 5 Animation 6 Sound 6 Character 4 Enjoyment 5 'Quod Subigo Farinam' - Terry Pratchett (Feet of Clay, 1996) Once upon a time Sega were a powerhouse of the videogames world, but these days they appear to have lost much of their former glory - mainly because their most visible releases are little more than revisions of Sonic the Hedgehog. Fortunately the blue rodent isn't the only weapon in Sega's arsenal, and the company have a plethora of titles just waiting to be rereleased or resurrected (Phantasy Star, Rolling Thunder, Kid Chameleon, Strider, Afterburner, Space Harrier, Daytona, Panzer Dragoon, Sakura Taisen, Wonder Boy, Alex Kidd, and many others).

There are even a few rare ones that fans would love to see completed (Dear Sega, Please finish Shenmue. Thanking you in advance). In addition to their massive back catalogue of games, Sega also own a role-playing franchise that is quite possibly the largest and most diverse in the genre - the Shining series (and before all the fans have a collective apoplexy, according to Nintendo there are only eighteen official Zelda titles).

The first game - Shining in the Darkness - was a straightforward dungeon crawler that appeared on the Megadrive/Genesis back in 1991. Subsequent additions to the franchise ventured into the realms of turn-based strategy, tactical role-playing, third-person action/adventure, and even first-person RPG - and repeatedly demonstrated Sega's desire to experiment with the fantasy genre. Since that time the series has proven to be extremely popular in various parts of the world, and the release of the 30th title - Shining Blade on the Playstation Portable - only serves to highlight the strength of the franchise. With such a history behind it, what could possibly go wrong with an anime adaptation of the 29th game - Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Pan. Set on the quaint little island of Wyndaria, the story follows the deeds of Rick - a handsome amnesiac castaway who now works at the island's bakery alongside the three young ladies who appear to own the business - Airy Ardet, Neris Filiam and Amil Manaflare. Everything is peaceful as Rick learns how to heroically knead the dough in order to bake loaves of manliness, croissants of courage, baguettes of bravery, and other such things on his journey to make the titular 'Bread of Happiness'.

Unfortunately the arrival of another castaway called Kaguya throws his world into the mixing bowl and forgets to add any sort of raising agent. There are many varieties of bread in the world, and some of them are quite tasty in their own right. Shining Hearts is, unfortunately, nothing more than a mass-produced white loaf that's in dire need of a little bit of cheese or some kind of filling in order to make it palatable. The formulaic plot is made up of basic storytelling ingredients that appear to have been added using a shovel as a measuring cup, and the resulting narrative tends to fall apart - even though the writers have struggled to mix everything together before getting baked. The first half of the series is little more than a glorified meet-and-greet as Rick and his female companions find themselves in the middle of several rather placid adventures that all seem to be resolved using bread - and no, they don't hit each other with baguettes (more's the pity). The storyline does show some improvements during the latter half of the show, but by that point there's simply not enough broadcast time to offer the answers to some important questions (i.e. What is the Island of Wyndaria?

Why am I watching a fantasy adventure about bread? This results in a string of important storyline events occurring one after another as the show tries to cram as much as possible into the narrative in order to tie up various loose ends. Shining Hearts is filled with all manner of quaint buildings and pastoral scenes that highlight the rural nature of the island, but while everything looks pleasant enough, there's a distinct lack of imagination on display. The problem lies in the fact that this is an adaptation of a fantasy JRPG - and in many cases these games will feature towns and villages that have a certain. Continental flavour to them. No-one seems to fully understand why, but for some reason there's a tendency amongst developers to assume that all fantasy adventure games take place somewhere in Europe (e.g.

Shining Hearts Episode 1

Sword Art Online, Tears to Tiara,.Hack//, Ragnarok, Druaga no Tou, etc). When it comes to animation things are a little more muddled as there's a surprising blandness that permeates a number of scenes - even though the quality is generally pretty decent for the majority of the show. Part of the reason for this is the character animation and the tendency to rely on stereotypical behaviour patterns in order to make specific female roles more appealing to a certain audience. This mentality lies at the heart of the character design as well, and aside from a few minor modifications, everyone looks much the same as they do in the game - but that's nothing to be proud of as pointy chins and almond-shaped faces are the order of the day. Which brings up an interesting point about the aims of the producers - but more on that in a bit. The opening sequence features a track called 'Jisei-kai Toki Sekai' sung by Aizawa Mai (Neris), Itou Kanae (Amil), and Mikami Shiori (Airy) - alongside some tourist-friendly images of Wyndaria and the seas around it, scenes where the lead characters run in a group or gaze heroically off into the distance, birds flying, and the obligatory bread shots. It's a fairly typical beginning that ticks many of the boxes in the 'How to Make an Anime OP' handbook, and the ending is no better.

The closing sequence features lots of background bread in different shapes and sizes, and the three lead actresses perform 'Fuwafuwa no Mahou' while their respective characters pose and dance in a manner that is designed to pander to fans with a tendency to shout 'kawaii!' At anything female, humanoid and vaguely attractive. Shining Hearts features some diverse and well-crafted audio effects, but their usage is hampered by repeated issues with timing, choreography and intensity. The background music - a mixture of light-hearted fluff pieces, medieval-inspired ditties and dramatic/serious melodies - is more subtle than one might expect, but several scenes can have an odd feeling to them because of the style and composition of the tracks on offer. In addition to this the script is fairly bland and doesn't appear to have taxed any of the voice actors - which has resulted in the dialogue being delivered in a rather banal style that is typical of many shounen anime where action scenes involve lots of shouting and pouting.

Sadly this workaday attitude extends to the characters themselves - many of whom are little more than eye-candy that moves around and does. The reason for this is the lack of any real conviction where relationships are concerned - which is basically what happens when someone decides to remove a major familial bond without thinking it through or replacing it with something equally important. In addition to this the speed of the narrative appears to have caused the producers to ignore or forget the purpose of supporting characters, and because of this the lead roles are severely under-developed for a show of this type. Which brings us back to the aims of the producers - a factor that is closely tied into the design of the characters.

In a very real sense any visual media is similar to food in that the first bite is with the eye, and many people will make a snap-judgement about something based solely on how it looks. This is the reason why games developers are often quick to capitalise on popular trends - especially those that are rooted in otaku or geek culture - and the most common is to utilise the talents of well-known artists - some of whom have made their names in hentai or eroge. Unfortunately this approach does not guarantee success as titles that rely on the marketability of the lead designer are often aimed at specific audiences - and even though there may be lucrative merchandising opportunities, the lack of publicity will severely affect the popularity of a game. In the case of Sega's primary RPG franchise, Shining Hearts is the third of four titles that feature the talents of popular eroge artist Tony Taka - and therein lies the problem with the anime.

Like many adaptations the producers have simply regurgitated the character designs from the source material, but in this case that means that the lead female roles consist of a buxom tavern maid, a busty milk maid and a sexy nun - all of whom apparently work as bakers. Add to that a supporting cast of female characters who are little more than walking merchandising opportunities and it becomes obvious that this is simply an attempt to capitalise on the popularity of the franchise, and to a lesser degree the artist. The sad thing is that even though the story that lacked the depth of other food-based shows (Yakitate Japan! For example - and that's saying something), Shining Hearts still had potential if the adaptation had run for longer and been more true to the game. Unfortunately the titular 'Bread of Happiness is nowhere to be found, and viewers are left with nothing but a bitter selection of inane details that would be right at home in any middle-class anime fan's conversation book. Bread isn't famous for its peacemaking abilities. Cake would have been an understandable alternative (unless the story is about the French Revolution).

Everybody loves parfait. Overall 5 Story 4 Animation 10 Sound 7 Character 6 Enjoyment 7 Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Pan seems to suffer from an identity crisis much like its protagonist, initially starting off as a serene slice of life about bread making and ending up as a fantastical action anime. Ultimately, although it executes both sections well, this change alienates both the viewers who wanted action and those that wanted a charming Aria-esque show.

There's one thing you can't deny about the show, and that is the high quality art and animation. It's incredibly consistent, the characters faces and the beautiful scenery remain brilliant throughout, and I doubt you'll see food look so delicious in anime for some time. The animation was clean and precise, there were no sloppy errors and only a couple of scenes where they had obviously saved on budget.

The soundtrack is just like that of an RPG game which I thought was nice as it displayed the roots of the anime, and there were one or two tracks that were particularly good, overall it's a bit generic but it's enjoyably and compliments the series effectively. The voice acting is strong, although I doubt the Seiyuu were stretched much in their roles. The OP is fairly nice but forgettable, however the ED is incredibly catchy and by the end I found I knew the words and the dance far too well. The characters have the traits you'd expect from a slice of life show, and cover the fantastical range of Dwarves, Elves, Witches and Furries that you'd expect of a fantasy RPG.

The side characters are likable and it's a shame that you see some of them for only one or two episodes, a consequence of the fact it's based on a game. Onto the main characters, the trio of girls are perfectly pure and cleanse your soul, making you feel slightly better about life. Rick the protagonist is initially just as innocent as the rest of them, however he receives development during the series and becomes a more complicated individual, although he is still rather plain.

This brings me to the story, if you want to watch it for the action, then don't, because there is a distinct lack of it and so the series is unlikely to please you. If you want to watch it only for the pleasant slice of life, then you'll be happy for the most of the show, but won't be at the end. This is the problem with the show, it's tried to please both demographics but has ended up letting down both. If you like both action and slice of life then you'll have less of a problem, and to the show's credit it does build up to the action well throughout, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue, but in the end I would have preferred it to be a simple slice of life the whole way through, even if it had to deviate from the story of the game it was based on. It's because the slice of life was done so brilliantly, it was relaxing and almost therapeutic, the characters as I've mentioned were nice and all lent themselves to the experience perfectly. Nothing much happens, they may go to a nearby castle to deliver bread to the tsundere loli witch who's trying to make the perfect ice-cream, they may visit the elves or go reef diving for treasure, it doesn't matter, you may complain of a lack of plot but that's all a delightful show like this needs. It didn't need an aim, it just needed to provide a pleasing experience every week, which is why I feel the plot introduced at the end was unnecessary.

The whole of Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Pan feels like a prologue, at the conclusion of the series you'll wonder where everything and everyone went from there, and it's a pity because I think a second season is unlikely, and you'll want to see many of the characters again. Overall I thought the first half was excellent at being a heart-warming experience about four pure people making bread, and if you enjoyed Aria, I'd say this was worth a look, even if the show eventually loses sight of what it was good at. Overall 3 Story 2 Animation 8 Sound 2 Character 2 Enjoyment 2 I write this to you as a fellow anime fan; a comrade who you can trust. Someone who only wants to save you from the fresh hell that is this anime.

And never look back. Usually a show has SOMETHING to offer, whether it be by way of characters, plot, fan service, or other devices.

Shining Hearts' one forte is the ability to lull you into a deep sleep, one which you wish never to wake from. Story - 2 What story? They bake bread, offer no foreshadowing, then fart out a deus ex machina ending and treat it as a special twist. It is a half-baked attempt to knead some plot into a stale series. All puns aside, the story is trying to be both a battle fantasy and a slice-of-life-harem. It focuses on one throughout 90% of the series and snatches away what could have been some modicum of a satisfying slice-of-life-harem conclusion and replaces it with the most terribly written battle sequence ever produced.

If you're going to have the story focus on romance the entire time, BATTLES AND FURY does not a good ending make. Art - 8 Character designs by Tony?

Decent production quality all around, but a sexy looking turd is still a turd. Sound - 2 No memorable tracks, and by god the ending is scary to watch. Characters - 2 Picture a blob; a peach colored gelatinous ball of goop. Now imagine this blob growing three heads; one blonde, and two brunettes. You've successfully imagined the three main heroines of this story! They are a perfect match for the main character because all four of them share one thing in common! Can you guess what it is?

They're all characters with no personality! Rick, in his infinite sadness, spends his days contemplating the meaning of bread while commanding his three mindless sheep to run the shop.

And the sheep do exactly that. What, were you expecting character development? Or even characters to begin with? Shame on you. Enjoyment On a scale from 'Oh god my insides feel like they're being incinerated in a sea of napalm, kill me - KILL ME NOW' to 'It was aight yo' I'd have to say its at about a 'Oh god my insides feel like they're being incinerated in a sea of napalm, kill me - KILL ME NOW' Overall - 3 By the powers vested in me as a fellow peer and anime watcher, I sentence the plot to be improved by a grade schooler. I sentence the character designs to be the source of many doujinshi.

I sentence all copies of the OST to be delivered to Beethoven so he - and only he - can listen to them. I sentence the characters back to their childhoods in hopes that whatever stopped them from having a personality doesn't occur again. Finally, I sentence that the show and all it's merchandise be cursed by blackbeard and cast into the endless sea in hopes that none shall ever be taken by its evil clutches ever again. Overall 6 Story 5 Animation 9 Sound 0 Character 7 Enjoyment 6 It's abouuut BBB- BBBB- BUUUHHH- BREEEADDDDDD YES I SAID IT RIGHT! (Now all bread-lovers and bakers can jump up for joy cos this anime makes pastry Light up your life!) Now the story's about BREAD! That's all its about!

Awkwardly forcing myself to watch this. For the girls of course.

Neegghh-blegh Frankly I thought there would be more romance, but unfortunately the love seems to revolve around the bread that the protagonists (and his lovely girls) make! Now the first episode pretty much sums up the whole story; allow me to explain myself why it does.Protagonist: Bread maker, wakes up to make bread. Girls love protagonist (obviously), Girls love bread. Girls deliver bread and spread the love. Hence: Bread = Love -Finds a hurt cuddly creature, gives bread to eat.

Creature heals! And is filled with bread joy! Hence: Bread = Awesome Healing power -Serious unsocial elf lurks and shoos them out of forest.Protagonist attempts tries to make good relations with elf and offers bread; Bread denied.

Protagonist finds another hot elf, and her tummy rumbles. Gives her bread, and a connection is made! Hence: Bread = Persuasion Power -Trouble brews with upcoming storm.

Protagonist and girls gets ready for it; makes more bread than ever and spreads news to villagers of the impending doom. Stocks up on breads to survive storm. Hence: Bread = Survival -Least but not least. The ending song oo' MORE BREEAADDD!

Next → The third season of the anime series, titled Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon S ( 美少女戦士セーラームーン S ( スーパー ), Bishōjo Senshi Sērā Mūn Sūpā), was produced by and directed. It began broadcasting on TV Asahi on March 19, 1994, and ended on February 25, 1995. Like the rest of the series, it adapts the manga series by and follows the adventures of and her friends.

In 2000, licensed the season for an unedited English-language broadcast in North America. Continued to dub the series. The series aired on, who adjusted the episode numbers to match those of the original Japanese version, from June 12, 2000 to August 1, 2000.

Edited and unedited videotapes as well as uncut bilingual DVDs of their adaptation were released. In contrast to 's dub of the first two seasons, Cloverway retained the background music and sound effects from the original Japanese version. Eventually, in 2014, licensed the series from for an uncut release, and released the first part of the season on November 15, 2016 and the second part on June 20, 2017. While Sailor Moon S began very similarly to the first two seasons, Sailor Moon S eventually took a darker, more emotional turn. One of the controversies surrounding Sailor Moon S is in the romantic-lesbian relationship of and, who are subtly depicted as romantic lovers, although this is never mentioned directly. Takeuchi has openly admitted they are a romantic couple, and their voice actresses were instructed to play the characters 'as if they are a married romantic couple.' However, because of differing cultural standards, most countries outside Japan, excluding Greece, Germany, Sweden, Spain and Mexico, have censored the relationship.

Alternatively, in the Cloverway/Optimum English-dubbed version, this subtext was made more taboo by way of portraying Neptune and Uranus as biological cousins who were involved in a romantic relationship with each other. The /Viz Media English-language ReDub preserves the subtext of the original material. In the 1995 favorite episode polls for, 'Death of Uranus and Neptune!? Talismans Appear' came in first place, 'The Bond of Destiny! The Distant Days of Uranus' came in eighth place, and 'The Labyrinth of Water! Ami the Targeted' came in ninth place. The following year, 'A Bright Shooting Star!

Saturn, and the Messiah' came in fifteenth place. Three pieces of used: one opening theme and two ending themes. The opening theme, an updated version of 'Moonlight Densetsu' is performed by Moon Lips. The first ending theme, used for the first two episodes, is 'Otome no Policy' performed by Yoko Ishida. The second ending theme, used for the remainder of the season, is 'Tuxedo Mirage' performed by Peach Hips, a group consisting of,. Cloverway used the English-language version of 'Moonlight Densetsu' first commissioned for 's dub of the first season and R for their adaptation.
