BARTENDER Synopsis:

Situated in the Ginza district of Tokyo is the Eden Hall, a quiet bar that few people manage to come across. It is run by the legendary bartender Ryu Sasakura, a genius at mixing the right drink for the right customer. Throughout his period at Eden Hall, customers from all walks of life, carrying all sorts of burdens, arrive for a godly glass at the Hall and a kind word with Ryu, both of which assist in clearing their problems up and reviving them for another go at life.

BARTENDER Trailer

The series is available for pre-order now directly from Shout! Factory for a special price of $55.98. Given that this series was once considered impossible to license outside of Japan, the fact that it's getting released now is an amazing feat, and if you consider yourself a fan of the medium, you owe it to yourself to pick up this series. I'm in for a copy and will add it to my personal list of anime for non-anime watchers, it's that good.
