watching this at 2026 feels like im on different universe lol
story was kinda ok being close to average its like they trying to make it wholesome daily life series without having potentially romance in a paradise after being isekai'd from their their original world(YES i said it right its ISEKAI bruh), then they showing this unique characters like the elf and the witch girl that was obviously for adventure fantasy and because of this season it had turn into stalement/deadlock, now for the plot-
ok ngl i was blind before planning to watch this, not knowing anything except seeing this main characters but when i see more of characters in the anime it made me expecting something more indepth story or plot but i guessed it wrong theres nothing much going on except for the final act, then the…

Okay so, at first I saw a dude making bread, simple enough.... right?
WELL HAH FUCK YOU NO!
Instead of some neat little anime about a baker making bread with a small harem and some comedic encounters we got this weird shit.
Lemme explain,
After the first ep, it went down a path that is pretty okay ig.
Yk, the normal slight action bits.
But here's where they messed up, they first showed his backstory which was literally that "he ended on the shore", now that obviously is not enough to base almost half the plot on that.
Now, another issue in the plot was about how they suddenly progressed to a mecha anime in the last few eps, like yea we were hinted in the start but what the flip was that?!
Oh and did I mention the fact the "Rick" was just a sad ass dude who thought about nothing but his…

Shining hearts: Shiawase no Pan. If the title weren't already a giveaway, it's about bread. And it could've stayed that way, but the plot said otherwise.
In my opinion, it was fine simply as a relaxing anime about everyone living peaceful lives as if they were in heaven. But then the last two episodes ruined it. I get that the setting is probably a metaphor of heaven and people being washed ashore are those that have passed, but adding action to it wasn't a good idea.
Characters were really dense, especially the main characters! The protagonist himself was a flat character, never changes his personality. Heck, he doesn't even have a personality. he's just a dull character who just happened to be the MC. The heroines were hot, though.
The only thing I liked about this series was Tony's a…

This is extremely fun paranormal world series ,although bit short ,it remained enjoyable and imaginative.
The stories character art is very good and fits the story well. The characters are not introduced like most anime in the first episodes but revealed and learned very later in the series. it can be bit confusing .you mostly wonder if there should not have been a previous series. but I think that's one positive attribute about this series..... its different.
for those that does not much care for spoilers ..the world of this series is filled with humans ,elves,dwarfs and attractive cat beasts .
I must say the elven parts and sub characters was pretty too fast revealed mostly only 1 episode .I would have believed that the elves would play a bigger roll than just one episode.
Overall it re…

If you want to watch this anime because there is a tag saying action, beware that the action is hard to find. The story is most about a boy that has amnesia and starts to work at a bakery. There is some fantasy and a nice plottwist in the end. That is something that makes the anime a bit beareble but even with that, you really need to like watching people sell and bake bread if you want to find any fun in watching this.

Story (5/10):
========
Shining Hearts is...about bread, and Rick...who makes bread. So I guess one shouldn't go into it expecting a whole lot. Like most slice of life animes, not all that much really happens.
The pacing was really strange. It was incredibly slow and slice of life, then tried to cram all the magical action into the last two episodes. Not even that really, all the action together wouldn't have been a full episode, it was just spread into two. Then...it was incredibly anti-climactic.
I think it leaves you with more questions than you had any answers. Who are all these characters really? Especially Rick and Kaguya. What about Queen? (how does she get repaired anyway?) What about the other worlds? Is everyone on the island from another world? Why is the princess the only one…

when i started watching this anime i thought it would be good but i was wrong.
What i liked about this anime was that the story was unpredictable but it was too, "how can i put this" casual and boring for most the episodes it was about the same thing, it eventually got good at the last two episodes i will admit the characters were amazing all had there own individual story which was interesting
what i didn't like about this anime was the fact that it took till the last two episodes to get good too me it was boring and i felt as if it wasn't really going anywhere.
if your into this type of anime then go ahead and watch but it just wasn't my cup of tea, considering i like a good story where it is based on wither being a serious storyline or just mindless fun

Shining Hearts is a beautiful anime to watch. The artwork is really well done and the characters are fun and enjoyable to see. You can see alot of green nature and interesting houses and places. It has a calm and peaceful progress in the story.
The story itself to me isn't that important. it is not the main focus of the anime. It is nice as an add-on for people who desire that. In my opinion the story was allright.
It's mostly about baking bread and who doesn't like bread? :). You can sniff the smell of the bakery as if you where there yourself. The opening and ending animations are colorful and swingy and the music is catchy.
Well there is more to say here. It is about the relationship the characters. Rick, Airy, Amil and Nerris, and others. And how to cope with thoughts of the past…

YES I SAID IT RIGHT! BREAD!!
(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! I was... awkwardly forcing myself to watch this.. for the girls of course. Story was.. 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

"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,…

A harmless show. Not a good show. You won't be staying up late watching it because you just *have* to see what happens next. You'll watch it because it's bright and happy and well drawn. The plot goes no where and you want to take it into the corner and yell at it for not even making an effort at being interesting.
The person who created it seemed to suffer under the misconception that if you are a cook and you are emotionally unbalanced then it will negatively affect the taste of the food you prepare. I have personally eaten food prepared by people who were manic, depressed and borderline sociopathic and it was delicious. I however when even in my best mood cannot cook worth a damn.

Shining Hearts – Shiawase no Pan:
~Story: Kinda decent. Just a bit annoying considering that it has potential to be a good anime. Basically it's just an island full of washed up people who can't live without Rick's bread. They even got the elves and animals addicted to it. XD
~Art: It's really good, so does that animation. It doesn't have any derp moments unlike the plot.
~Sound:The sound fits well. Except for the parts where they girls just stare blankly and give a little "ugh" one at a time as their faces show the screen.
~Character: Characters are good, their quite well developed. Except Rick, his confusion makes no sense and causes more confusion.
~Enjoyment: Since I'm a person who gets enjoyment from a good plot I think this anime will only be somewhat good to me. It has almost…

I keep waiting and waiting and yet no action come... and the fuck with it? making a story with a bread?It's pretty plain boring. And it's very annoying all people says "Hmmm It smells good" over and over again...goddamnit!! it's getting on my nerves...If you plan to watch it you better not...

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. Leave now. 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…

Since I already wasted my time by watching this anime to its end, I decided I might as well do something of doubtful usefulness by writing this list of why Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Pan is an utter and complete waste of time.
Story: 2/10 Character: 1/10
This anime is a pseudo action-fantasy/slice of life, that does really badly at both genres. If you consider it as a slice of life, you keep getting barraged by random mystery plot shadowing scenes every few minutes, making you think "OMG GET ON WITH THE STORY ALREADY!" By the time the series gets you to resign on how the story will never advance, it suddenly gets thrown into a hasty, 2 episode conclusion and sudden ending that ruins the slice of life atmosphere.
The show is even worse if you consider it as an action/fantasy, since th…

The Anime has nothing going for it. There is practically no action even when the big climax comes about. The interactions of the characters aren't there either and even a small amount of romantic inclinations between the main character and one of the girls would have spiced things up nicely to pull this Anime out of the doldrums it tanked out with. There was also way to much pandering the concept of a bread that makes everyone happy no matter what. Really? The only good thing about this Anime is the beautiful art work.

You know... with all the talk from someone over in the Wapanese Animu Industry about "calming / soothing anime (?)," you'd think that this show would pop up in your mind. Because; despite ALL of the characters being cool and kick-ass, the story is BORING AS HELL.
I'm sorry, folks. I needed to say that. I compared this title to all of the "guys are pussy" animu of this spring season. And while it's nice to see a "grown-up anime for and about grown-ups;" that "energy," usually found in the lot of retarded animu playing on the other side, is not there.
"Shining (Heart; Happy) Bread" reminds me of "Campanella's Blessing:" You have the near-remote island, the ALPHA populace and the visually wacky cast of characters, the near-round-the-clock happy faces, and that RPG-style atmosphere.

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 jus…
