Araki Joh's Bartender manga was originally adapted into a well-received anime series in 2006. The series was a faithful adaptation of the manga. When Bartender: Glass of God was initially announced, many fans wondered if it was a sequel to the first anime. However, it has been more or less confirmed that Glass of God is a remake of the entire series, which is being animated by the renowned animation studio, Liber.

Considering that the plot of Bartender: Glass of God is pretty much the same as the manga, fans can expect to see a more modern take on the series. It centers around Ryu Sasakura, a genius bartender who is said to mix the most incredible cocktails anyone has ever tasted.

Set in the backstreets of the Ginza district, Eden Hall is a lone bar that is operated by Ryu. As per his reputation, Ryu apparently knows how to serve customers the divine "Glass of God." However, Eden Hall is not easily found just by anyone, since it is believed that the establishment usually finds its own customers.

People of different backgrounds, with each of them plagued by their own personal troubles, walk into Eden Hall. As such, it usually becomes a safe haven for them, as Ryu always knows the ideal cocktail to console and guide each one of his distraught customers.

Given such an intriguing plot, fans can expect Bartender: Glass of God episode 1 to be the start of something special. It has the opportunity to stand out as one of the best anime of the ongoing season, as each episode is expected to delve into the complex lives and individual problems of different people, who find comfort and solace in Eden Hall and the cocktails served by Ryu.
