I was having a bad day and came across Kogepan. Watching it really brightened my mood and I found the short stories to be heartwarming. The storyline is simple, but still finds a way to lightly touch on different life lessons. Even if the story is about bread, and all the characters are different kinds of bread, Kogepan can be found relatable as his actions are very human-like. The style for the animation is a perfect match with the whole mood of the story, as well as the voice acting and sound effects. A great watch for anyone, any age.

People are always expecting too much from an anime, from luscious animation to full on ensembles as background music. However, I don't quite understand why this show was rated so low, that too for this type of genre (aimed primarily at children). For these types of shows, stories, animation, charecters etc. are barely even focused on, however this show was different. I started this show thinking I was gonna get a cute anime with a boring storyline and uncompelling characters. Instead I got to watch a truly thoughtful anime masking under its childish appearance. The life lessons they taught were honestly amazing and pretty deep. I was shocked at how much they were able to throw at you in 4 minute intervals. It covers topics such as hopelessness, depression, loneliness, being shunned, and mo…

"...Are you really gonna watch an anime about a BREAD??" - a friend who's pretty much done with me
Yes, I've watched an anime about a bread, but it actually felt like watching a life lesson. If this is some child's childhood then I'm so, so happy for them.
Kogepan may be an anime about a burnt bread, but it's full of deep themes like friendship, old age and being different. Which is... something I didn't really expect. And it hit me right in the kokoro.
Anyway, the art is well sitting for this type of show and the same goes for the sound. I will probably watch it again... once or twice. Or more.
...Whoever you are, you should go watch it.

Kogepan is the tale of a burnt piece of bread going through an existential crisis because nobody wants to buy him. It's all of half an hour long, with each episode being 4 minutes long, much like Fireball. It came recommended from 2 different people, and when two completely different people with no connection to each other and totally different tastes recommend an animation short aimed at children from over 10 years ago, you should probably pay attention. That's assuming Kogepan is aimed at children, which I find hard to believe since the DEEP THEMES of Kogepan will fly straight over the head. You see, Kogepan is all a metaphor for old age.
Japan has a culture of fetishising youth to the point that a woman is considered old and past it once they reach the age of around 30. Not that this i…

Kogepan is the badass of the bakery. His life began as any other bread, filled with hope of being nestled in a paper bag in the hands of a customer, but that dream ended when he fell to the bottom of the oven and burned. Cast aside by the baker, he spends his days drinking with his friend Kuriimupan and resenting the other breads that live his lost dream. Some of the cute little Kireipan are drawn to his brooding personality, but Kogepan knows that their time together is brief. He is a stern and sometimes frightening teacher.
Caution to sensitive viewers: There is one questionable scene where Kogepan gets the strawberry bread, Ichigopan (so hot! but I swear I am not a panofile) wasted on milk. When she keels over backwards, Kogepan wonders to himself "What should I do"? The question goes…

Kogepan, Kogepan.. very good anime illustrating some of life's lesson's.
Enjoyment
very adorable, short and funny which kept me interested throughout the episode. Seem to be directed to kid's but still has appeal to teenagers
Story
The story is basically based on life lesson learned my the main character, a burnt Kogeopan, which is a type of bread. Overall
7/10..It's enjoyable and might just teach you a lesson here and there. I say that its worth the 40 minutes it takes to watch this series .

Story: This anime is clearly meant for a young audience. The story is laced with life lessons. I rated the story a 7 because of the life lessons for the children.
Art: This anime has literally ten minute episodes and since it is meant for a younger audience, the art is childish. It is effective though because of the characters which I will explain later.
Sound: The music doesn't stand out too much. I did find myself laughing at the music a couple of times, but it is still effective because of the intended audience.
Character: The main character is a burnt piece of bread. His story is sad which will withdraw some sympathy from the viewer. At least it did for me. The supporting roles are also cute. I rated the characters 7 because for a childs show, the characters actions and feelings are…
