I love how Alvin called Rie the master and expert, and yet throughout the entire thing she just kept saying Alvin always makes stuff better than she does. That kind of praise, especially from someone that's a friend is one of the best kinds
it's fun that Rie is featured on the episode with Shana, since Shana is voice by Rie Kugimiya haha! this episode was SO cute; Rie and Alvin work so well together ✨
I love how each regional variant of this dish has a name based on what the pattern cut into the dough looks like. Japanese meronpan looks like a melon, Chinese pineapple buns look like pineapples, Mexican conchas look like conch shells.
Pretty sure someone else has mentioned it but I'd like to take some time to appreciate the fact that this video features Rie McClenny and that Shana's Japanese VA is Rie Kugimiya
Rie. Such a fun personality on camera. And this is no different. Andy really DOES get the best for his channel. I'm glad to be a member so I can pay these wonderful people what they deserve.
Rie-san! How nice to see the two of you working together again. I currently have her cookbook on my Christmas list, but if no one indulges me, I'll be getting it for the new year. Melonpan is so tasty, never realized there was cookie on top of the bread dough though!
Alvin, Rie , Melon Pan and SHAKUGAN NO SHANA - comfort content😭 Also can’t wait to have it in Japan again next year. Tried last 2016 and honestly it’s one of my favorite breads
Hehe, as soon as Alvin said it was one of his closest friends and I saw the jumper, I knew it was Rie, one of the best presenters Alvin has ever worked with 100%
It's hilarious to me how Anime With Alvin goes back and forth between trying to reproduce these ridiculous, made-up foods, and just making normal melon pan.
I still remember how I used to watch this anime from animax in cable tv. It really is the staple tsundere fmc anime alongside Hayate and Index/railgun anime.
Sometimes, I like to oil the inside of a giant plastic tub and take a nap inside like a proofing dough ball. I take of all my clothes, and cover the top with a damp towel. I like to pretend I am a loaf of raw bread dough that's proofing. It's such a spiritual experience coming out of the bin after allowing my body to slowly expand.
My first exposure to the term "melon bread" was in the name of a joke miniboss from a really old Sega Genesis game called Gunstar Heroes, that I played constantly back in the days. Little did I know it was beyond a simple nonsense-word boss name, and in 2005 I actually learned it was a type of bread thanks to the anime Yakitate! Japan. I found a recipe online and my family was instantly hooked when I made it for them!
a cold shiver was sent upon my spine; skipping ahead of the video, and hearing that "we have a special guest called Rie" for a collaborative making of Melonpan.
A HEART BEAT THAT LASTS FOR ETERNITY. LIVES CONSUMED IN SOUNDLESS BALLS OF FIRE. NO ONE CAN TELL IF THE WORLD IS DISPLACED, AND WHEN THE FLAMES OF THE CRIMSON WORLD SWEEPS OVER ALL.
This is something I am surprised is not more popular. It is just a sweet pastry... it looks nice, we love bread in America, and we are obsessed with sweets. Honestly, why we have not just decided this is a breakfast food is beyond me.
'Rie wants to play bumper cars with my melon bun' is going to live rent free in my head. I figured a Rie on Babish video would be exploding in views, maybe the algo will pick it up when people are stuck indoors and baking.
RIE!! 😁 It was so much fun to see Alvin and Rie working together again! The sleeve pushing-up assist was clutch and cracked me up.😂 I hope we get to see Rie back in the BCU.
This is similar to Joulupulla, a Finnish Christmas bun that also has a cookie on top, but after making Joulupulla and watching this, Melon Pan seems more easy to make! 😂
I've eaten a lot of both - the topping on conchas tends to be thinner and more "done," and in my experience tends to be flavored with vanilla or cinnamon or both. Melon pan has a thicker, doughier coating that is unflavored. They're both lovely with a cup of coffee!

That's probably one of the reasons they are friends.
Rie is super sweet
Artist mentality
They have mutual appreciation for each other's craft.

YAY! Rie needs to move to the Babish Universe permanently to keep making it fancy!
YESSSS❤❤❤❤❤
her body language was killing it in this one, without a single word I just felt her presence.
MAKE IT FAAAAANCY
It’s crazy to me how similar these look to Conchas but they taste so different. I love melon pan
"Conchas"
_laughs in Argentinian_
@@DarkOverlord96 yeah isnt that basically just slang for ... well

Shakugan no Shana is a blast from the past!!
I was surprised too!
I still remember the iconic opening song for the anime!! Still a great song to listen to :D
Shakugan no Shana is criminally underrated.
@@ultragamerj Right? I have only met one other person that has seen it. It was my first "non-mainstream" anime, loved it and got me hooked to anime
Light my Fire by Kotoko ❤ this song ☺️
bro this episode unlocked a childhood memory for me
_Core Memory Unlocked_
deadass
even without Rie's smile on camera you know she and Alvin are just laughing through this shoot.
Rie. Such a fun personality on camera. And this is no different. Andy really DOES get the best for his channel. I'm glad to be a member so I can pay these wonderful people what they deserve.
Nice
Clicked so fast once I saw Rie was teaming up with Alvin again. So nice to see them working together again!
This video made me want to cry. Since About To Eat ended I've missed the whole team. It was nice to see at least you two together again.
Rie-san! How nice to see the two of you working together again. I currently have her cookbook on my Christmas list, but if no one indulges me, I'll be getting it for the new year.
Melonpan is so tasty, never realized there was cookie on top of the bread dough though!
Melon Pan. Up there with Croquettes and Ramen when it comes to anime food that has dominated the scene even in non food related anime.
Curry my friend, Japanese curry as well
And jelly donuts! 🍙
@@egodreas
"Oh boy I sure do love jelly donuts!"
Takoyaki and omurice too.
Aw yeah! I missed seeing Rie on the tasty channel but seeing her on here? That's just awesome.
Bruh. This brings me back to the first time I saw Shana in high school. Fansubs like 2005...man I should rewatch the whole series again
I certainly think that you should. Shakugan no Shana is criminally underrated and deserves more love.
This is probably one of the best episodes I've ever seen.
I love Rie and Alvin! So wonderful to see them together. Such wonderful chefs!
Alvin, Rie , Melon Pan and SHAKUGAN NO SHANA - comfort content😭
Also can’t wait to have it in Japan again next year. Tried last 2016 and honestly it’s one of my favorite breads
Hehe, as soon as Alvin said it was one of his closest friends and I saw the jumper, I knew it was Rie, one of the best presenters Alvin has ever worked with 100%
I haven't seen Rie make food in forever on here. Happy to see that she's still making food.
I love how humble you both are! She's the master and still gives you compliments💗. I would love to try both approaches next weekend
I just love Rie and Alvin.
Already hopeing for another colaboration in the BCU ❤❤
RIE!!! What an absolute sweetheart! Nice to see her here!
I am so happy you've made this video. Shakugan No Shana is my favorite anime. Seeing this brings me back memories.
Aww I love Rie so much! It was such a delight to see her on the Babish channel. I hope they'll have her on again!
man I can't believe it's 2023 and we got a video referencing Shakugan no Shana, love the series but sadly it's largely forgotten now
i’ve forgotten about shakugan no shana, what a nostalgic feeling!
I love Rie!!! So happy to her and alvin!! They are always so fun to watch together! Wish i had friends like them. ❤
RIE!!!! im so happy to see her here!! :DD
Alvin decided to make his melon pan big. Appropriate.
I would love to see more of Rie! This entire episode was an absolute joy to watch.
Shana's love of Melon Bread make her adorable
Ah man, Shakugan no Shana! A classic.
Loved when Rie would make appearances in Worth It on Tasty's channel. Would be a great addition to BCU!
Melon Pan! The Shana anime introduce me to this type bread and i was lucky to find a bakery that made something that look similar to Melon bread.
Always a treat to see Rie anywhere!
For another video, requesting Eisen's (and Stoltz's) Giant Hamburg Steak from Frieren
Happy to see you Rie! Keep it up and remember to always "Make it Fancy"
Watching these videos brings me peace after a hectic day. 🙏💕
Wow, Shana-tan. This is a nostalgia trip! Thanks!
Shakugan no Shana, now that' s a name i haven't heard in a long time...
Been a long time since I saw that show. I can still hear the URUSAI URUSAI URUSAI echoing through the years.
It's high time you two teamed up again! You two have always had great chemistry when working together and I'm glad we get to see this again.
Rie needs to join the Babish universe too!! I miss make it fancy 😢😢
This was so wholesome and amazing. Love love love Anime with Alvin!
Of all the foods I have encountered in my time in Japan, melon-pan is BY FAR my favorite. I can't wait to try this one out for myself.
I’m glad you had her on your video, I miss her make it fancy videos
It's hilarious to me how Anime With Alvin goes back and forth between trying to reproduce these ridiculous, made-up foods, and just making normal melon pan.
Melonpan is a magical invention: imagine you get to have a nice soft roll AND a cookie at the same time?
I've bought Rie's book, and it should be arriving soon. Can't wait to try all the new stuff!!
She did such a great job, you could almost say she... Made it fancy
Thank you Rie, for showing what it is like to make this without a mixer!!
Bro what an elite anime pick, this was a huge part of my childhood
Oh to be Rie's designated sleeve pusher. Living the dream 😍

I was looking for a reason to rewatch shakugan no shana. And i have found it.
All you need now is some Matcha Ice cream to put in the Melon Pan
Just seeing the thumbnail made me tear up a little with nostalgia. I love seeing this anime that nobody’s heard of getting lovs
a cold shiver was sent upon my spine; skipping ahead of the video, and hearing that "we have a special guest called Rie" for a collaborative making of Melonpan.
Shakugan No Shana mentioned!!!
I'd've said "Nichijou", because their melon pan scene is so relatable, but yeah.
Melon Pan reminds me of Conchas bread, and I absolutely love how similar they look, and I must try melon pan to taste the difference 😋
Melon pan in Japan has an extremely light melon taste to them. Source: I lived in Japan for 5 years.
I knew it was Rie before you said it! I have loved watching her content over the years.
Loved seeing Rie as a guest! Great episode! ❤
Rie is awesome! Glad to see this collab.
So awesome to see Rei on the channel! I hope she's a repeat guest

Melon pan shaped to look like turtles might be my favorite pastry ever
I love Rie, I’m so happy she’s here!!! Also Alvin you da bomb!🎉🎉🎉🎉
ROLL THE DARN SLEEVES !!! Sorry but I kept thinking it everytime he just pulled them back lol
u just unlocked a core memory with this anime, holy
Rie! Making things fancy! Cookbook best seller!
Giving that bun an extra maillard's reaction sure will enhance the flavour. Don't beat yourself up like that Rie.
Oh man... i haven't thought about that series in years
Bet this recipe is gonna be fancy 🔥🔥🔥
'Rie wants to play bumper cars with my melon bun' is going to live rent free in my head.
I figured a Rie on Babish video would be exploding in views, maybe the algo will pick it up when people are stuck indoors and baking.
Alvin learned technique, Ríe learned Presentation ❤
Never heard of Rie McClenny, but it's an honor to meet her.
If only Alvin and Rie would completely take over this channel
5:00
Wow, never would have imagined you to be the type of guy to make large foods.
I had missed the two of them being filming together again.
This delicious Melon Pan I want to try to make one.
This is the deep cut. I thought this anime was amazing back in the day. It’s crazy to see it.
So nice to see them working together !!! 😍
wait, melon pan is basically conchas? this is a wild (and frankly, awesome) connection!
Bro I watched this show back in highschool. I Honestly thought I wouldn't see anything about this later on in life
7:31 me opening my mouth as if she was feeding me the bun 😭
It's Rie!!! I haven't seen a video of hers in a while
She took some time away from UA-cam to write the book, but she posted a new video last month revealing the book and one of the recipes (shoyu ramen)!
The one I had in a bakery in Japan was green food colored, but had like a 🍈 cream inside.
This was great! I hope we see more guests in Alvin's videos!
RIE!! 😁 It was so much fun to see Alvin and Rie working together again! The sleeve pushing-up assist was clutch and cracked me up.😂 I hope we get to see Rie back in the BCU.
Oh, they're basically the same as Hong Kong pineapple buns! I love those things
Rie & Alvin! How fun! 👏💜
Now this is a blast from the past if ive ever seen one. I loved this series. It made me want to try melon pan as well!
This is similar to Joulupulla, a Finnish Christmas bun that also has a cookie on top, but after making Joulupulla and watching this, Melon Pan seems more easy to make! 😂
Holy heck! Shana content in 2023!!! I've dreamed of this day
Is this basically a concha? 😍🇲🇽
Edit: it looks softer and less dry than a concha. I'd love to see them make an actual concha! ❤
I thought the exact same thing! It's so cool that two cultures have such similar sweet breads like this :)
I've eaten a lot of both - the topping on conchas tends to be thinner and more "done," and in my experience tends to be flavored with vanilla or cinnamon or both. Melon pan has a thicker, doughier coating that is unflavored. They're both lovely with a cup of coffee!
The nostalgia... I need to watch again now.
