Bread Barbershop
What's the Story?
In a world where cupcakes and other pastries roam the streets, BREAD BARBERSHOP is where they go to get their "hair" done and refresh. Master Bread (voiced in English by Marc Thompson) is the cake decorator in charge. He has a cold exterior but a gentle heart. Alongside him is the always helpful and loyal Wilk (Laurie Hymes) and the deadpan Choco (Elinor Vanderburg). Together, they save the day, one makeover at a time.
Is It Any Good?
The concept of this show is interesting, but the execution is confusing. The opening theme to Bread Barbershop emphasizes that what's inside is what matters, but many of the storylines show characters being judged on looks. While the show rewards good behavior and punishes bad choices, the negative takes up too much screen time for it to be enjoyed by its intended audience.
