Reviews for Yume-iro Pâtissière SP Professional

Ahh, I really really did love Yumeiro Patissiere but when I watched Yumeiro Patissiere Professional, I was a little sad. Partly because A) It ended so soon B) I don't really get the storyline - so basically they were all just thinking of ideas how to open up their shop and all C) They didn't show how the romance between **SPOILER** Kashino and Ichigo started **END OF SPOILER** That makes me really annoyed and I was like, "What?? When??" They should have do it slowly how Ichigo started to reciprocate her feelings for Kashino. I'm sorry in advance if I led out any spoilers... Story: It was so-so. I wasn'tconvinced. Basically to me, it's like a repeat of Yumeiro Patissiere season 1 except, shorter.

Art: 9/10

I love the background art as usual although I do find the 3D scenes a bit weird at times. The characters looked a little older than usual and I prefer the characters in Season one because at times, I find that they looked odd - no idea why though. Glad to know the sweet spirits are still as cute as before! :)

Sound: 10/10

Probably one of the best I heard in most of the series (other than Gakuen Alice)

I loved both the opening and the ending! Dude, the opening was so catchy that it makes me wanna bop my head and sing with it along! The sweet spirits dancing to the song makes it so cute as well! Have a listen, it's really worth your time :)

The ending ; super adorable! I'm glad they used the sweet spirits are the main characters in the ending cause they were really cute! Sowa sowa sowa so waffle wonderful :D

Character: 8/10

The addition of Maize and Johnny was really funny! It made the series really interesting because just watch it and you will get what I mean. Johny is TOO funny. The way he speaks and all.

But I'm a bit bummed up that Team Ichigo split up. When they were together, you can feel that they really did work as a group and tried their best together. I miss that, a lot.

Enjoyment: 7/10

Short but still alright, worth a watch.

Overall: 7/10

I do hope they have a third season and I hope they would make it longer as well. The story is pretty decent - worth a watch and it's funny as well. And like the first season, it made me crave for SWEETS in the middle of the night! :D

I'm not very good with reviews, but. . . here we go. Yumeiro Patissiere Professional is short. The first season had 50 episodes, but this season is the final season. Savour it while you can. In YPP, the art is very beautiful, they've added more style. Though, Hanabusa and Andou's hairstyles both are very. . . how shall I put this strange. Many things are being repeated from the first season into this season. For Example, the Heiress's laughter. I mentally go nuts when she laughs. It's beyond annoying, but other than that, there's one episode left. And I've come to realize that I've felt likeI've become apart of the family in the series. This is seriously an unforgettable anime series. It makes you want to pursue your dreams with it's inspirational quotes. This is one of the best PG-rated series I've ever watched. I give this anime a 10.

Where to begin with this? I'm not quite sure, but as an immense fanatic to Yumeiro Patissiere, I have to admit I was quite disappointed by this series. Not that it was bad. No. It's just not as memorable as the first season. By far, I think that this majors specifically from the fact that the first season is 50 episodes. When they announced the second season, I was ready for another 50 episodes. Is that what we got? No. In fact, we didn't even get 26. It was the meager number of 13. I mean, at the end I was screaming, waiting for a previewfor the next episode. No, that's it.

That aside, there are many downfalls to this anime, which made me a bit sad. But I think it's fair to say Yumeiro Patissiere SP Professional is simply a normal anime. Nothing about it particularly stands out to me like the first season, but that doesn't mean it's bad either.

Story: 7/10

I think the main thing about this series was the fact that I didn't find the series all too exciting. Prior to this season, Yumeiro Patissiere was focused on a group of 14-year-old teenagers who strive in competition in order to overcome rivals and win 2 years to study abroad in Paris; which they accomplished. I think the whole setting of Grand Prix events was just nail-biting torture at some point. There were moments where you really were just begging the characters to overcome their obstacles.

Not so much in Yumeiro Patissiere SP Professional. Compared to the first season, the story is very laid-back, to the point where half the series seems to just be filler. The main premise of the story is the fact that Ichigo and the gang are starting up a patissierie. To be quite frank, this premise is only important for the last 3 episodes of the anime! The 10 episodes before it center around different people and all their problems to which sometimes you just sigh and wonder when they are ever going to get to the actual point of the anime.

For that, I find it necessary to give YPP a score of 7 for their story compared to YP which received a score of 8, because it just wasn't as exciting, quite frankly.

Art: 7/10

The art is basically the same as that of YP. Though, if I were to critic anything on it, it would be the strange way all the characters seemed to grow up. The anime takes place 2 years after the end of the first one. I find it odd how the characters look in the second season. Ichigo and Kashino look fairly untouched, all they are is just taller, with the exception of less baby fat on their faces, and Ichigo's hair being grown out. Which is fine because they are the main characters. What I find odd is the character design of Andou and Hanabusa in the second season. Both seemed to grow their hair out (which to be fair is in a different way), but it just seems so awkward.

Though I do agree, the whole point was to make them more mature. Which makes sense, because they did spend 2 years in Paris, and it's only correct that they would mature in the time, but it seemed as though the character design was almost halfheartedly done.

Sound: 9/10

I'm fairly certain in YPP, they used the same soundtracks they had used in YP, and like I said before; the OST to Yumeiro Patissiere is solid. Though, the opening and ending themes did change. The opening theme "Sweet Romance" by Mayumi Gojo (who also sang the theme song to the first season) is a nice change. It being the first thing you see and hear from the new season, it gives the feel that this anime is now centered on romance (to which it's fair to say it is) and the sound is definitely more mature, also reflecting on the time skip in the anime. The ending theme "Home Made Happy" by Primaversa was a nice fluffy way to end each episode, which was fine. Though, if I were to choose, the opening theme was much stronger than the ending theme.

Character: 6/10

Over the course of the two seasons, I think that the characters were actually stronger in the first season than in the second. Partly because some of the characters in the second season just annoyed me to no end.

Amano Ichigo, from the first season, you know her as a clumsy, optimistic, slightly clueless girl. Not so in the second season. Yes, she is still clumsy (often falling down or other ridiculous things), but the thing is she has nothing that makes her stand out. After being in Paris for 2 years, trained by Henri-sensei no less, she actually had baking talent. Her character from the first season lacked that. But for some reason, Ichigo's character seemed rather bland in the second season. Sadly enough.

Kashino Makoto stayed relatively the same, with the exception of, if it were possible, I think he got cuter. He was the only character I actually adored just that little bit more in the second season than in the first. His character is the same, that prickly, impatient, unsociable character, however, after the course of 2 years, his love for a said brunette is quite more obvious. He tends to become flustered when it is pointed out to him, and he's much more open to Ichigo in the second season than in the first season. I think what really sells it is his possessiveness over Ichigo. He gets very jealous of others when it comes to her and often protects her as if she is already his.

The other characters are basically the same for the little screen time they have. Andou and Kana are given a little bit more character development, which is nice. However, there are 2 characters that really made me angry throughout the whole series.

Johnny McBeal and Koshiro Miya.

Just when you thought Koshiro couldn't get any more annoying, she did. In fact, her and Johnny paired together were just incredible sores to the story. I'll be quite honest, it seems like their whole purpose is to be plot devices. Which is sad, because they could have at least made the plot devices likable.

Enjoyment: 8/10

I think the saddest thing of all is the fact that this anime centers around Kashino and Ichigo and nothing really happens with them. They are constantly hinted at, stressed, and you even think something might happen to them, but it never really happened. And I think that just frustrated me. Other than that, the series was relatively boring and while fluffy and cute, just didn't leave the same impression on me as the first season did.

Overall: 7/10

Averaging all the separate scores together leaves me to conclude that Yumeiro Patissiere SP Professional is deserving of it's 7/10 score, compared to the one I gave to the first season of 8/10. The series is overall decently done and is fun to watch; especially if you want to lighten your mind after watching darker themed animes. But all in all, I think fanatics of the first season will be disappointed. Much like I was. But nonetheless, it was worth the time to watch it.

I watched this anime and it's predecessor when it first came out, and I decided it would be better to review this once I got a bit older, and started to see things differently. A great decision if you ask me. You'll see why. Story: Ichigo is 16 now, and is participating in this sweet shop project thing with her new squad , because the others decided to leave and pursue their dreams, and since I'm getting bored, I'll stop here. What I remember absolutely hating about this season is how everything changed so fast. The disappointment I felt was indescribable. I hated how that inthe limited amount of episodes there were, a great time was spent around this whole 'love square' that happened throughout the last season, as well as this one. All the boys are obsessed with Ichigo, we get it. And can we talk about how 3 whole episodes were focused on Mari and her struggles? I thought this was about Ichigo becoming a professional pastry chef. I guess not...

A lot of the things I hate about the story has to do with the characters so I'll stop here. 5

Art: Sweets are gorgeous. Character designs are great. I like how this season showed how hard puberty hit these kids, lol. I do wish characters were less scrawny though. Other than that, not bad. 7

Characters(so help me): Hands down the worst thing about this series. Ichigo, who is the main character we have to see in every episode, is very annoying. Actually, annoying is too nice a word to describe her. Yes, she's determined and nice, but there is a fine line between 'nice' and 'pushover'. Has she ever thought of walking up to her enemies, looking them straight in the eyes, and asking "what is your problem?" A few cold glares and punches could have made her easier to deal with. Well, at least she's not a tsundere. Her boyfriend/frenemy/bff/rival Kashino is equally as annoying as Ichigo. He likes her, doesn't wanna make a move, and gets annoyed when someone else does. This is why Johnny, the last addition to the squad, is much appreciated, at least by me, for heating things up a bit. The other characters are meh, but the bad stuff is just ugh. 4

I did not really enjoy this, but it made me appreciate season 1 a lot more. This season was purely a wish fulfillment for kids who wanted to see romance, and a failed one at that. The romance was forced and cringe-worthy, and now I'm happy that they didn't show the kiss. The main "couple" was void of chemistry and compatibility, and only caused each other more problems. Its kinda sad, since when I was younger, Ichigo and Makoto seemed like the ultimate OTP.

Moral of the story: If it hurts, don't do it.

As for enjoyment, I'll give this a 5, which is too generous

First of all I am kinda disappointed with Yumeiro Patissiere Pro. Even though the atwork improved quite a lot (Kashino becomes much more cool!), i still think the first season is better because i think the plot is more clear and the story is more exciting, like u're waiting what'll come next? The story in the second season is kinda boring and it does not leave many impression in me. The story just revolve around the cake business and stuffs. They does not even include any school life except for episode 1 (that too so little). It seems like the story is divided into parts which aresomehow not related to one another. To say it straight the story is not that much interesting.

What's better about the second season is only Kashino x Ichigo development. Though not much romantic scene but still Kashino has admitted his love for Ichigo and so with Ichigo. And Jhonny's presence is also neccessary to make Kashino jealous (the jealous Kashino is so cute..!)

Yumeiro Patissiere SP Professional was an alright anime for me. I prefered the first season way more. The second one is more about romance and the development of Kashino and Ichigo! Thats probably the only reason why i kept watching it is because i think that they're super cute together!! ^^ But what disappointed me was that there wasnt much baking, inspirations, and i felt that the writers or directors of this anime was just making it while it was going..! (sorry if that confused you, but i dont knwo how to word it..) I also wished they had more scenes of Hanabusa and Andoh!But overall i think it was worth to watch, especially if you want to see Ichigo and Kashino get together

its a nice anime about baking and stuff, but it's got some issues, especially in the second season. Like, sometimes it feels extreamly slow cause of filler episodes that don't do much for the story. Some characters, like Ichigo who was a typical shoujo mc who sucks at everything and can only eat does get somewhat better, and can i mention Henri-sensei who is this master baker, he is supposed to be mysterious and elusive instead it comes off as creepy until you know his motivations but anyway others don't change much and remain 1d and the plot can be kinda predictable.Also, there are new characters and stuff, but their stories don't always get finished up nicely, which can be annoying. The art and animation are usually alright but sometimes the characters look weird like flies. And, you know, the way they show baking is not always be how it really works. Plus, some characters seem like they're just copies of other characters. There's also this stereotypical American character in season 2 who's really cringy and wierd and doesn't feel very real, not only that he is just a plot device to make the chocolate dude jealous which is wierd enough on its own and that strange girl who who's super obsessed with the main guy is pretty annoying. They could've given more attention to side characters too. but all in all its poorly made and its existence was not needed 10/10

Okay, this is my first ever review. Here goes: I enjoyed the first series so much, that I would actually spend half of the night in my room, watching at the least five episodes. I was totally addicted, and to find out there was more to come was great! Yumeiro Patissiere Professional wasn't a bitter disappointment. I enjoyed it NEARLY as much as the first one. But when I found out there were only 13 episodes I got so frustrated I started screaming into my pillow. But I was happy when -SPOILER- the Ichigo X Kashino ship came alive!-SPOILER END- but I was still pretty angry thatit ended. I was totally prepared for another 50 episodes. But we didn't even get 20. Not 18. Or even 15.

The characters are nice, and easy to figure out. Makoto Kashino, the hot-headed tsundere. Sennosuke Andou, the... I don't know how to describe him but we get who he is, right? And Satsuki Hanabusa, the flirt. Johnny McBeal, the American guy who likes Ichigo. Miya Koshiro, the Himedere who is wildly obsessed with Makoto Kashino. Mari Tennouji, the leader type. And Henri-Lucas, Ichigo and Mari's high class sensei. There is many more characters, but I'll stick to the main ones for now.

The audio is mostly good, but in one episode it actually muted halfway. Thankfully, it went back to normal. But the art is wonderful. Each sweet, cake, character, building and small detail is beautiful and high quality. I enjoyed it far too much. It's inspired me and it's pretty much child friendly. I'm not lying. Come on, even Disney movies have kissing in them. You can't really argue. Also, they kind of lost the storyline in other people's problems. I feel as if it wasn't based on the main four anymore. The only time they did was really the last three episodes.

Overall, I gave a nine. I still feel as if the first one was better though.

Yume-iro Pâtissière SP Professional is not bad, but not as good as season one. On paper, the story is pretty interesting. It covers the business-side of being a pâtissière and how good marketing and business management are just as important as being talented at making sweets. That being said, the execution isn't exactly worthwhile. To start, the show glossed over the business side of things so much that I struggled to not break my suspension of disbelief. Why would a professional business man allow--not to mention ask sixteen-year-olds to run their own businesses? If they are interning under a professional, it might make more sense butthe anime expects them to run an actual business on their own. Furthermore, instead of watching the main cast grow as a business I ended up watching them help their friends run their own businesses. The only time the main cast's business actually mattered was near the end but the context behind it was ridiculous. Speaking of which, the fairies inclusion made the business elements more unbelievable because there were instances where they used magic. Overall, it's also dull and unengaging.

Team A is no longer together, so Ichigo and Kashino mixed with former rivals and new characters. The chemistry is no longer there, so the charm that kept the cast from being walking archetypes is gone. Nonetheless, the characters themselves are mostly likable.

Animation and art are fine. OST is okay. OP is fun.

Yume-iro Pâtissière SP Professional may not be as charming as season 1, it's still a fine addition if you want to see the characters as teenagers.

First review; sorry if it's a little all over the place. Aside from a little light romance, don't expect anything particularly new in this second season. I considered it basically as bonus material for those of us who really enjoyed season 1. I liked that you could see a difference in the characters right away; they had gotten taller, a little more adult in appearance. Or in Satsuki's case, a great deal more flamboyant in appearance. Dear Miya is back and more obnoxious than ever. What, you didn't think was possible? Think again. The new opening song... I liked it, but was a very definitedeparture from the feel of season 1.

I was expecting a more on the romance front. Aside from some blushes nothing really happens until the very final episode, which just isn't very satisfying.

Overall I did enjoy it. If enjoyed Yumeiro Patissiére, you'll enjoy Professional.
