It was really standard fare, as emphasized by the overly generic character designs for most of the characters, especially the main guy.

I found myself skimming the last part of episode two, simply because one frame per minute is enough for me to tell exactly what is going on.

I like the design for the cat girl though, as well as the fact that baking is involved. Too bad that it isn't the focus of the show. A more balanced Yakitate Japan with harem romance should be very interesting.
