Everytime I hear Anpan, I imagine Nagisa at the bottom of that hill...
I'm really interested in trying some of these out. The only issue is trying to get to Japan on my budget. One of these days Japan... one of these days *shakes fist in the air* |

And thanks to Yakitate Japan, I have been aware of all of these for a while.

I am disappointed that you took the time to describe melon pan yet failed to mention Satania from Gabriel Dropout.
You don't need to go to Japan. As the article says, you just need a large cosmopolitan city with a sizable Asian population. Any one of New York, L.A., San Francisco, Toronto, Vancouver, etc. will do. |

C'mon, we all know (from watching H.S. anime) that everyone in Japan is a secret martial artist or kendo practitioner or the sole heir to some exotic fighting style/weapon/magical bento box. All that fighting must mean they work up quite an appetite. |

Honestly, whenever I read Melon pan all I can think of is Shakugan no Shana... |

A propos, I couldn't help but notice that a taiyaki retailer recently opened up near Chinatown. Given my fondness for Kanon, perhaps it behoves me to sample their ware.

SnS is where I first heard the term, since Shana just wouldn't stop talking about it like it was the best thing in the world. It was also my introduction to the Loli Tsundere Goddess, Rie Kugimiya. The Shana-tan specials were also probably the most hilarious mini animations I've seen even to this day. Those were good times. |

Or DearS... Just imagine, Ren and Shana in a bakery and only one piece of melon pan left... Last edited by Ouran High School Dropout on Mon May 01, 2017 1:24 pm; edited 1 time in total |

When my husband and I visited Japan, we... ate this stuff nearly every day, mainly for breakfast. Melon pan from Lawson/Family Mart, taiyaki from mom-and-pop shops, cornets and other pastries from many, many train station bakeries... (º﹃º) One thing we didn't get to try was yakisoba pan. Next time, then! Fortunately, we live in the SF Bay Area and can get some of this stuff locally, but nothing beats eating in Japan. Last edited by R.

There happens to be a more generalized Asian market and a more specialized Korean market I know about. At the one Chinese carryout I worked at years and years ago (which was run by Vietnamese actually) anything we didn't have delivered to the restaurant by vendors one of the chefs would pick up in one of the 2 markets. I'd often ask him to get various stuffed buns for me while there. I'd have them with some steamed rice and often vegetable soup the chefs made for lunch while we took a break from prep work in the morning. I do miss those buns.

Reason why I said what I said is because of where I live which, understandably, you wouldn't know. If I'm going to spend money to go to a large metro area, I can save and use to go to Japan. (Full disclosure: I lived 40 mins away from Seattle for nearly 20 years, but live in an area of Florida now where large cities are not close). |

Outside of melon pan (which I ate several times and tasted like a knock-off of a type of bread found in my country), I found most of Japanese bread to be either horrible - especially their white bread - or just very plain. Several people I met there who weren't Japanese and from all voer the world complained about it as well. It always felt that, unless you were Japanese and had grown up eating it, you'd find it to be several times worse than whatever you ate back in your own home country.

Japanese breads are the best. They don't sit in your stomach well after you gorge down a bunch of them as usual of most of their foods. Even then, I'd say that just going to some Asian store for those would be different. There's a difference in the texture and the filling that Korean and Chinese melon pan use that sets them apart from their Japanese counterpart in taste, for instance. I know this since my area has a lot of Korean bakeries and I know people who give me the ones from Japan as gifts.
I don't know how you've come to that conclusion unless your taste in bread is on the side of the crunchy, "wholesome" side. I certainly prefer breads they make over my home country, which apes a lot from Spanish bread which I think are dry and tasteless. |

The Betrayal Knows My Name Sub.DVD

This sub-only release hides an enjoyable dark fantasy that's lighter on the BL than you might expect. Rebecca Silverman dives deeper.
― Originally released in 2010 and based on a manga whose English release has been on hiatus until this coming July, The Betrayal Knows My Name at first seems like an odd choice for a DVD release. It's clear that Funimation was a bit trepidatious about it as well – this...

While this book makes a fine treat for Monogatari diehards, it might not be the best place to start the franchise. Nick Creamer explains.
