Antique Bakery is not a yaoi anime. It is a seinen manga with a gay character, and the live action version changed him so straight apparently. I haven't seen it nor do I want to. (The anime version is MUCH closer to the manga.)

I don't like most J-dramas in general... I dunno, for whatever reason I tend to find them melodramatic, and melodrama is more off-putting in live action than it is in animation, where it's more expected. And stuff like Sailor Moon is just absolutely impossible to take seriously at all when it's people in ridiculous costumes.

I've also seen the Mushishi film... sigh. I'm a huge fan of the manga and TV series, and the film started off decently and had some great moments, but then the writers apparently felt the burning need to shoehorn an overarcing plot into it that made no sense, and they totally ruined Ginko and Tanyu's relationship by having him say "I AM IN LOVE WITH HER" flat out instead of leaving the interpretation up to the viewer. So disappointing.
