I need more emotive icons.  I just realized I don't even have one that's appropriate for general "SQUEE!"  :-)  I suck.

I was delighted to hear the news of an Antique Bakery anime coming up.  And this follow-up is doubly squeeful:
In particular, the company emphasized that the titular bakery's head chef Ono [...] will maintain his
"demonically gay" charms. The 2001 live-action version turned the Ono character into a straight man. 
There are also plans to depict the plot-crucial "incident" that occurred during the childhood of the 
bakery's owner, Tachibana. The anime is set to premiere in July.

I couldn't believe it when I first heard that the live-action series made Ono straight.  It was profoundly ridiculous.  Ono without the demonically gay charm doesn't work on so many levels that it's practically a crime against humanity. ^_^ 

Also love the idea of getting into the "incident" they refer to with more specifics.  One of my frustrations with the manga has to do with the fact that she left that incident hanging out there without closure.  Tachibana may not have minded, but I did, dammit!  :)
