Amid the great slice-of-life anime airing in spring season 2024, Crunchyroll’s Bartender: Glass of God is definitely the top choice for fans of the genre. Bartender Glass of God is a re-adaptation of the 2004 classic manga Bartender by Araki Joh and Kenji Nagatomo, and it’s not only an anime about making cocktails, it’s about human connections and how enjoying the little things in life can make a difference in people’s lives.
Bartender: Glass of God features Eden Hall, a comfy bar that witnesses the burdens of each of its clients, where every drink has its own story and is open to serve the most troubled hearts by Ryu Sasakura, a prodigy bartender who can serve the “Glass of God,” the drink the customers’ needs at that exact moment.
A cozy anime that envelopes the viewers with a warm and calm atmosphere that builds from the first episode, Bartender: Glass of God is a must-watch for slice-of-life fans who feel like relaxing with short stories that make you smile, and it manages to stand out in Crunchyroll’s stacked April 2024 lineup.

Bartender: Glass of God Anime is a Must-Watch for Adult Anime Fans
The Anime Stands Out for its Deep Themes And the Charisma of Ryu Asakura.
Bartender: Glass of God is an anime aimed at an adult audience for its focus on alcoholic drinks and the themes covered, like loss, unfulfilling lives, work-related problems, and regrets, which are easy to empathize with for adults. The anime stands out for its charismatic characters, the genius Ryu Asakura, the customers, and other bartenders, all with their own troubles and motivations, and the moments when the customers are preparing to drink really speak about what each character is like and their concerns, and upon being served by Asakura, they get a new perspective that helps them resolve their conflicts.
The attention to detail is what makes Bartender: Glass of God so unique. Each episode shows the preparation of classic drinks, giving a detailed look at the art of bartending, and the quality animation does a great job of presenting the cocktails. Also, Crunchyroll’s new anime was supervised by a recognized brewer to guarantee the alcoholic beverages were correctly depicted. Additionally, the sound design complements the mixes of the drinks with a little ASMR, transmitting that calm that a bartender is supposed to transmit, and makes it the perfect anime to watch before going to bed.
