Cheesy aah femcel show but was entertaining by how bad it was something
The episodes were so rushed than a character started talking about his dead mom very randomly on the middle of their date with the mc
The characters are mostly ok but french dude kinda traumatized me and the mc's rival was actually so forgettable and useless, I actually forgot about her while doing this review. Characters are still pretty handsome and the anime on itself is pretty too. Don't put too much hope on character development tho, most of them are copy and paste ikemen stereotypes with a personality as deep as a kids pool
Overall it feels like a wattpad fanfiction that unfortunately got an anime adaptation, not a masterpiece but is great if you feel like watching some trash and/or looking at pretty boys

This is certainly one of those shows that are so bad they're good. The guys have something close to magical girl transformations each time they make a cake, so I think that speaks for itself!! It kind of presents itself as an otome, with how cliché the characters are and how much of a y/n type of person the main character is. The guys genuinely rizz the mc up unwillingly because they're just so unbelievably hot and quirky. Sure, the entire action is pretty boring since there's obviously no plot or character development you could include in what, around one hour and a half of actual content excluding the ops/eds?, but it's a fun thing to watch in one sitting just for laughs. The ending is for sure one of the best things I've witnessed in any anime containing a cooking showdown. Can't even e…

I started this because I've been learning French and there was hot guys on the cover. (There really is nothing about France in this other than Bonjour and the one blonde guy.) I also have ADHD and appreciate the really short episodes. The MC is dedicated to baking but has adventures with her teachers. It's funny because there's so many plot holes and it's just really... something else. I watched this anime with my friends and the experience made it much better but overall I would say it's a 5 or 4 at best if you were alone. The anime is mid and the only thing it has going for it is how handsome/cute the characters are.
If I were to describe this anime in a sentence it would be, "Every 12 year old girls favorite anime". I could see myself loving this anime when I was young just liked I w…

This is my first review, so please bear with me !! :)
This show was a waste of my time. I should have known that when I saw that the episodes were all 5 minutes long (excluding the intro and outro, three minutes long). I tried my hardest to like this show but I could have been watching something way better instead.
Story - 2
In my personal opinion, there was nothing too grand about this story. A girl is whisked off to a rich culinary school and dreams of being a cook. Her mentors are all super gorgeous, talented, flirtatious(?) men who are known widely across the school. Of course, as they're her teachers, she wouldn't be able to date them. I really like reading forbidden love type stories, but this story didn't go down that path at all. In my opinion, this story could definitely have so…

Bonjour♪Koiaji Pâtisserie is bad. It’s really not good. However, I did find myself enjoying it. It was a bit of a cutesy mindless reverse harem, that cheered me up when I was down, and didn’t require me to think too much. Unfortunately, that’s about all it’s got going for it.
Story - 1/10
Yeah... the story was awful. In fact, I’m not sure there really was one. The main character finds herself enrolled in a confectionery school on a scholarship (which is apparently a bad thing according to a couple of characters? I may just be ignorant, but I’m pretty sure no one gets bullied over a scholarship…). This is fair enough - cutesy, much reverse harem. The issue is, we get the unnecessary rule of ‘no illicit sexual relations with the teachers’ laid out, and heavily emphasised, and you suddenly r…

To be honest, this anime isn't really that bad, but it's not good either.
The story is really light since it's not very developed and the characters all seem to have the same personality. Some situations in this anime made me cringe a lot but it doesn't make it a bad show in my believes.
I wasn't expecting a GOOD anime by watching this since each episodes only last around 6 minutes. An episode lasting for as little time as this has no time to develop a good story. But at least the story made sense and wasn't just a bunch of nonsense.
The art is REALLY beautiful, I have to admit. I've rarely seen an anime with such a drawing style and it made my eyes drool.
In the end, would I recommend you watching it? I don't know, it depends. If you wanna watch a really heavy and meaning full show,…

My reverse-harem loving people, there's two things you should do regarding this show:
-Dot it down in your to-watch list (it takes 2 hours to watch the entire thing)
-SKIP EPISODE 15.
-I SERIOUSLY WILL WRITE THIS REVIEW AS IF IT DIDN'T EXIST.
OVERVIEW:
Bonjour♪Koiaji Pâtisserie is your run of the mill Otome adaptation: great at giving you several bishounen to swoon over, very bad at conveying one engaging storyline. However, as someone who has seen this unfornuate things in way too many adaptations already, I can't be too dissapointed.
Though the episodes are 5 minutes each, the show has a surprisingly good pacing. No episode feels too heavy/story focused/slice of life-y. And in fact, there are several multi-episode arcs that take advantage of the short run time to condense the story jus…

As I haven't been watching too much anime recently, I begun to search for one that I could quickly get into and enjoy watching each character interact with one another. With 'Bonjour: Koiaji Pâtisserie', I got what I wished for.
If you're looking for a short anime with a good story, this might not be the one for you; it's relatively made to simply entertain viewers, not to pull them in with a catchy story line. However, the art and characters used in this show was rather worth the fallback of that, making me enjoy it more! Each character is fairly different to one another so there's one you will always relate to, as well as the art being so beautiful. With each episode being 5 minutes long, it's a great series to simply sit back and humour yourself with, finishing in around 2 or so hours…

I like it.
Sometimes I just need something light-hearted and this fit the bill.
That said, if you are looking for something with a meaty storyline, realistic characters, astounding art and music... then this is not your show.
One thing to take into account, is that each episode is around five minutes long. That doesn't leave much time for plot or character development.
That said, the general storyline is: the main character has just gotten accepted to a sweet making academy. At this prestigious school, there are several handsome young men teachers. The strict principal does her best to make sure none of the students and teachers get into an inappropriate relationship...
The characters are mainly flat archetypes--the helpful best friend, the quiet elegant traditional Japanese sweet maker.…

Story: 5
Art: 10
Sound: 7
Character: 8
Enjoyment: 9
Overall: 8
The anime is not too bad but my problem is the 5 minute episodes, like for real though you can literally finish this series in 2 hours ( 5 x 24 = 120 ). But the art is outstanding, the intro and outro music is good! The characters is pretty good I enjoyed it a lot! But the ending was not what I expected so I gave it a 9/10 Overall 7/10. Since it's not bad.
THE ENDING IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED AT ALL, I THOUGHT SHE WOULD'VE AT LEAST CHOSEN SOMEONE OR SOMETHING...

[This review contains only very minor spoilers.]
I am glad that I watched this.
I would recommend this to others.
I have watched this once, subtitled. I have only watched the anime.
I may watch this again.
---- Positives ----
This series is simple and light-hearted.
All the ideas presented in this series are pleasantly simple. The plot obstacles are all minor and are quickly overcome in simple ways. The only two long-lasting obstacles are overcome at the end of the series, and neither of them particularly inhibit the main character. The art is nice and there's a great mix of scenery.
When it comes to scenery, the characters are actually hardly ever in the classroom. There's such a great mix of scenery that it's actually related to the negative below.

While in the mood for watching an anime focused on food and cooking, this one was ranked in a top ten list for that genre. After viewing the twenty four five minute episodes I'd say it's decent, but probably not the best.
Story (5):
I give the story a rather low score because I feel that there really isn't much of a story here. It isn't until the last four episodes concerning the baking competition that there is something resembling a plot.
For the most part the episodes focus on more slice of life moments of the character and her "love interests." I put that in quotations as she never really shows much romantic love for any of them.
This anime feels very much like a dating simulator. I actually wasn't surprised when I found out after finishing the anime that was the original source m…

To be honest I think that this anime was good. I got confused if their techniques were magic since it looked like it. I really liked the art in the anime especially the 4 guys and the voice actors were really good but the genres does NOT relate to the movie. It wasn't a harem, slice of life and has very little romance in it. This show is more like making new friends than romance. Some of the episodes I thought was really boring and confusing since it just talks about random things. Some of the episodes only talk about the main character meeting and working with guys. It wasn't very funny even though I laughed a bit I can still think of better anime than this. Even though there was 24 episodes, it was only 5 minutes per episode which isn't very much. It was very short and I could've had wat…

Am I watching a reverse harem or a magical girl? Seriously.
Music
The OP and first ED were not very good. Singing is kind of off (some notes just make me cringe), and the instrumental itself is not any better. Second ED, the harmony didn't seem to fit that well. The voice parts don't mesh together and sound like they are competing against each other instead of complementing each other.
Character
Character design is okay, nothing too special. MC is designed to only look pretty. She's also one of those girls with no backbone either. The other characters are not enjoyable either. The mean girl is obviously trying too hard to simply be mean - that's not realistic. The teachers too - is this a class, or are you deliberately trying to seduce your students? Makes no sense.

This show is the cutest thing ever! The artwork drew me in when I came across this title. Its funny I was not expecting the episodes to be around five minutes. It didn't look like one of those short episode animes. Which sort of drew away from the story being its best. The first episode was 3 minutes long and I stared at the screen and said "That's it?" and I laughed. I still really like this show other than the pacing of the story. They could have done so much more with it. The music really set the atmosphere for the show and also all the sparkles. The opening song gets stuck in my head, it is so catchy that I accidently started singing it in choir instead of paying attention haha,it was very embarrassing because my friend looked at me confused. The artwork is like something you would see…

For starters, I just watched this anime because it was a reverse harem. As there is very little in that genre, I thought I should give it a try, and I'm going to be truthful and say that this anime was quite a waste of my time.
Story: I assumed that the story would be something interesting, but it turned out to be a rip-off of Yumeiro Patissiere. This was incredibly uninteresting and evoked no emotion from me.
Art: I give a tiny bit of kudos to the "bishounen" styled art as they had good sense of fashion and the colors complimented each other, but the fact that the little "romance" scenes were so flowery and cutesy made me want to gag a bit. I also noticed some weird things going on with their eyes or hair here and there, like the were glitching or seemed out of place.

I had been watching a lot of gory and heavy anime as of late, so I thought I would take a change of pace and go for a nice harem school life sort - you know, just to sit and enjoy. ‘Bonjour’ was just what I needed to clear my mind before I delved into darker and murkier waters again. And with the series having just finished up this last Friday it made it easy to binge watch it.
Story: 6/10
Now if you’ve played Otome games before or have watched other anime based off of an otome game then you wouldn't be surprised by the plot of the show. I’m not going to dive very much into it, but for those of you who haven’t watched/played one before here’s the gist of the plot: Cute girl goes to a specialty school, she meets all the boys who will eventually come to like her, there is a rule in the scho…

With a show like Bonjour♪Koiaji Pâtisserie (which will be shortened to "Bonjour" from here on out), one is supposed to relate with, to some extent, the main heroine and the cast surrounding her. We're supposed to understand the situations, the happenings, or the predicaments that they're found in. Or at the minimum, at least understand what message the anime is attempting to portray. But behind all of the cakes, hunks, and pretty art lies something sinister: practically nothing.
STORY
Bonjour stars Sayuri Haruno, a young high school girl looking to make a name for herself in the hobby of making sweets. Therefore, she enrolls in Fleurir Confectionary Academy, where she meets her friends and professors for the coming year.
